Sierra Simone

From the author of the USA Today bestselling Priest and New Camelot series comes the second in a high-heat, gothic, dark academia fairy tale full of lantern-lit rituals, foggy moors, and obsessions that last for a lifetime.***He’s an outcast and a loner, named for death itself. Fate wasn’t supposed to have plans for him. But then she came back – the girl St. Sebastian Martinez once kissed in a thorn-covered chapel in the woods. She came back, and Saint could no more resist her than he could pry out his own heart. And by some trick of fate, she wants him as much as he wants her. The only problem? She also wants the man who owns Thornchapel, Auden Guest. And so does Saint. Eight years ago, Saint did something to Auden, something terrible. Auden hurt him back the only way he knew how, and so here they are: their hatred seasoned with pain and Saint’s loneliness seasoned with longing. The only thing they can agree on is Proserpina Markham, and she wants them to find a way to be together – all three of them. If Auden wants to earn her as his submissive, then he has to earn Saint as well. But with the discovery of bones behind the altar and the carnal revel of Beltane fast approaching, it’s becoming clear that Thornchapel’s secrets are much deeper and older than any of them could have ever guessed. And no matter how bright and merry a feast of sparks may be, it’s always followed by ashes…and darkness.

From the author of the USA Today bestselling Priest and New Camelot series comes a high-heat, gothic, dark academia fairy tale full of lantern-lit rituals, foggy moors, and obsessions that last for a lifetime.***Twelve years ago, she left Thornchapel – and the two boys she gave her heart to – behind. Now, Proserpina Markham has returned, hopeful…and wary. Because it’s so very easy to be drawn back into the world of the seductive and elegant Auden Guest…and into the world of his worst enemy, St. Sebastian Martinez. The beautiful and brooding St. Sebastian is as irresistible as he ever was, and Auden is just as handsome and arrogant, and the three of them can’t seem to unknot themselves from each other – or from the hasty promise they three made all those years ago. As Thornchapel slowly tightens its coil of truths and lies around them, the reluctant threesome starts unravelling into filthy, holy pleasure and pain. Together, they’ve awakened a centuries-old fate that will either bloom like a rose…or destroy them all. The insatiably sexy Thornchapel series begins with A Lesson in Thorns – a spicy dark academia romance full of enrapturing passion and enemies to lovers drama.

They were never supposed to want each other--but Thornchapel doesn't care about rules. From the author of the USA Today bestselling Priest and New Camelot series comes a high-heat, gothic, dark academia fairy tale full of lantern-lit rituals, foggy moors, and obsessions that last for a lifetime. Twelve years ago, Proserpina Markham walked away from Thornchapel, the eerie manor tucked deep in the moors, and the two boys who split her heart in two: the golden and commanding Auden Guest, and his broken, brooding enemy, Saint Sebastian Martinez. Now she's back. The gardens are still overgrown. The chapel still locked. The house still full of secrets and shadows. And so are they. But nothing about Thornchapel is ever simple. As Proserpina is drawn back into a tangled web of old friendships, ritual magic, dark lust, and forbidden bonds, she finds herself caught between Auden's sharp dominance, Saint's aching loneliness, and the centuries-old story they've unknowingly stepped into. The house wants something. The land remembers everything. And Thornchapel is ready to bloom again--with pleasure, pain, and prophecy.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Sierra Simone comes the full New Camelot collection: a steamy, queer, polyamorous romance with a dash of politics and a pinch of magic.**This set includes all three limited edition floral covers**The sharp-eyed granddaughter of a former vice president, Greer Galloway is well-versed in politics and people--but not romance. Not when she is warned to keep her kisses to herself. Except her first kiss goes to the man who will one day lead the country, war hero Maxen Ashley "Ash" Colchester, and her second goes to his best friend and future vice president, Embry Moore. When the three collide in the Oval Office many years later, the unsaid words between them leave all three breathless and burning. It starts with a stolen kiss under an English sky, and it ends with a walk down the aisle. It starts when Ash asks Embry to find the girl they both lost, and it ends with Greer's heart split in two. It starts with buried secrets and dangerous desires...and ends with three people bound together with a ruthless, all-encompassing love sharper than any barbed wire. Even political rivalry and the threat of war cannot unravel the years of fire and longing that tie the three of them together, no matter what that bond might cost them. Their country, their careers, their lives--it's all at risk now. Love was always meant to be the end of their story, but it might be the end of them, too.

The second in the Lyonesse trilogy, following Tristan, Isolde, and Mark further into the forbidden as they wrestle with their love for each other and the growing secrets that surround them." He thinks I'll destroy him. It's hard to love someone you know is actually a knife pressed against your throat. I should know." Isolde Laurence is an uncommon bride. She's been raised to do as her father told her, put elegance and duty above all else—but unbeknownst to him, her loyalty has shifted. Now she's in service to the Church, one of the elite spies who work for her uncle, a cardinal. Her latest assignment from the Church? Marry Mark Trevena, the owner of a notorious club in DC where the rich and powerful come to play, and seduce him. But what was supposed to be a simple lie has become far more complicated: Isolde has fallen for Mark's handsome and emotionally wounded bodyguard, Tristan. Even worse—she's falling for her future husband himself, a mistake she made once before and has bitterly regretted ever since. And there's something far darker at play than the machinations of Isolde's uncle or even the twisted longings of her own heart. Because Isolde's new husband has secrets of his own, and the reason he'll stop at nothing to possess Isolde and Tristan both might tear all three of them to pieces. If the heartbreak doesn't do the job first…
