Delyse nodded again, this time because she didn’t know what to say, not because she didn’t have the energy to move her lips. They stayed in silence for a little longer, then Astrid jumped to her feet and smiled down at her.
“I better go. I hear two big dragons strolling down the corridor, and I bet they’re not here to see me.”
Delyse’s heart grew in her chest. She was about to see Eric and Viggo for the first time after… last night. Would it be awkward? What would they talk about?
“Thank you,” she said just as Astrid was sneaking out of the bathroom.
No more than a minute passed before Eric and Viggo politely knocked on the door before coming in. Delyse hugged her knees to her chest, still chin-deep in strawberry scented bubbles, and smiled at them.
“Well, look who’s finally up,” said Eric as he knelt beside the tub and placed a kiss on her forehead. “I thought you’d sleep for at least two days.”
Viggo sat on the floor, on the other side of the tub. He tucked a strand of wet hair behind Delyse’s ear and let his fingers linger on her hot skin. “I was afraid you’d fallen into some strange sort of hibernation and we’d have to wait until a total solar eclipse to wake you up.”
“Ha. Ha. You think you’re funny,” she pouted.
Eric dipped his hand in the white foam to massage one of her breasts, but Delyse immediately slapped his hand away.
“Don’t even think about it! I don’t know what you two did to me last night, but I can barely move.”
The Fyrstur leaned in to whisper in her ear: “We did nothing you didn’t ask for.”
“Rather loudly and demandingly, I might add,” said Viggo.
Their words sent a delicious jolt of desire right to her core, and her pussy throbbed at the memory of these two men taking turns claiming her body, burying their cocks inside her until she screamed.
“Stop it,” she said and shifted uncomfortably. The last thing she needed was to be horny again. “I’m hungry.”
“Thought as much,” said Eric, leaning away from the tub and grabbing a towel to dry his hand. “I asked the maids to clean the room while you’re still in the bath.”
“And to make you a huge, consistent lunch,” added Viggo.
Delyse’s stomach growled loudly, and she blushed. “Will there be pancakes?”
Viggo threw her a confused glance. “I didn’t know you liked pancakes.”
Delyse turned to him and poked him in the chest with her index finger. “How dare you not know what my favorite dessert is? Chocolate pancakes with…” she didn’t finish her sentence because her eyes fell on the mark around her left wrist, a complicated entanglement of vines which still burned a faded red, indicating it was recent. Very recent. “What the…?”
Viggo took her hand in his and pressed it to his lips. “I hope you don’t mind…”
She raised her right hand too, and admired the two marks adorning her wrists in the lazy afternoon light spilling through the tall window. Now, she bore the marks of two dragons. Two mates. She smiled and looked at Eric, then at Viggo.
“No, I don’t mind that at all.” Then, she took a deep breath and said the words she had screamed over and over last night: “I love you.”
Eric and Viggo knew she was referring to both of them. Eric kissed her shoulder and whispered “I love you”, and Viggo captured her lips in a gentle kiss before he breathed “I love you” against her mouth. The three of them stayed in silence for a while, waiting for the maids to finish cleaning the room and bringing her lunch.
“I still want pancakes,” Delyse concluded.

The peace treaty between humans and shape-shifters was signed over a century ago. One of the clauses says that humans must provide shifters with young brides to give them heirs and ensure the perpetuation of their species. Today, all over the world, special boarding schools take girls from orphanages and give them the most exquisite education, preparing them to become brides for the enemy. If a bride reaches the age of 25 and no shifter wants to buy her, then she is given two options: serve in a shifter brothel, or starve on the streets. Society would never accept a bride who failed to accomplish her duties.

Before she knows it, she falls in love with him. But Max has dark things in his past, dark things he keeps hidden in the dungeons under his castle.

Claimed by the Dragons – Delyse has waited for three years for her Alpha, ancient dragon Eric Drekinn to wake up from his hibernation and claim her. When she finally meets her husband, she’s already in love with his Beta, Viggo. What she doesn’t expect is for the two dragons to agree to share.
Taming the Alpha – Claudia is worried that no shifter will ever want to buy her, and when Karl Blackmane shows up, she wonders if he bought her just because her friend, Avelyn, insisted. All she wants is to make Karl happy, but his dark, twisted past threatens to ruin their marriage.

Alpha’s Feisty Mate (Arcane Affairs Agency)
BBW Wolf-Shifter Romance
Amazon US | Amazon UK
Curvy Skye Watson is through with bad boys. For once in her life, she wants to meet a nice guy and have a serious, probably boring relationship. After three months of waiting for said nice guy, she can’t take it anymore. Out in the club with her sister, Nina, and their friends, she sets eyes on Aiden Ashwood, the new hunk in town. He’s tall, bulky in all the right places, covered in Norse tats, and his whole demeanor screams “danger!”. How could she possibly resist? A one-night stand never hurt anyone, right?
Alpha wolf Aiden Ashwood is on a mission. The quiet town of Misty Falls is being terrorized by a rogue werewolf, and the townspeople aren’t even aware of the threat lurking in the shadows. The Arcane Affairs Agency sent him to investigate the three “animal attacks” in the past two weeks, and find the killer. Aiden has always been an efficient and focused agent. He closed all his cases without so much as breaking a sweat, and he expects this one to be no different. But then, hot, feisty Skye ends up in his bed, rocks his world, and leaves in the morning. He should have claimed her as his mate when he had the chance… Now he’s not even sure he’ll find her again.
Soon, Aiden realizes the “animal attacks” are not the town’s only problem. Witches seem to be involved, and where there are witches, there’s always trouble. When he finds out one of the Watson girls might be a witch, he prays it’s not Skye.
Alpha’s Feisty Mate is a full, standalone story. What to expect: a sassy, curvy beauty who might be lying about a couple of things, a hot Alpha who will do anything to protect her, and a sneaky villain who’s set on ruining them both.
