How Did QOTSA Get Their Name?

Orenda was created by the God of Destruction to protect the people of the world from the shadow demons known as eyti that now plague it. For thousands of years she - alongside her brother - fulfilled this sacred duty with ease...until now. Never in her millennia did Orenda dream she would be blessed with a soulmate. She was even less prepared when her soulmate turned out to be none other than the creator of the very beings she was created to fight; the God of Malice, Azadou. Azadou is cold, uncaring and has a deep hatred of the Gods. Everyone keeps telling her to stay far away and reject him, but like the pull of two opposing magnets, these two cosmic beings can't resist the draw to each other. As Orenda puts her heart, soul and dignity on the line to win the heart of her destined half, a new and mysterious threat emerges... Something sinister is afoot and it has big plans for Orenda. Orenda will find herself in the most tempestuous fight of her life, with the stakes higher than anything she could have imagined. Will she come out victorious and achieve her happily ever after? Or find herself at the centre of a dark parable with no happy ending in sight? This is the 7th book in the God's Saga.

** Book Two of The Havemouth Pack Series - Book One, The Pack's Secret Keeper, Book Two, The Pack's Triquetra, Book Three, The Pack's Vampire, and Book Four, The Pack's Hybrids ** The storm will pass... but what the flood waters bring with them, is hungry... Triquetras form when there are times of peril, and more than one alpha might be needed to protect the female and young. The Havermouth Triquetra therefore is both a blessing to the pack and their families, and a harbinger of troubled times to come. Alpha werewolves born to the pack’s elite families, privileged, handsome, and wealthy, Heath Gale, Cameron Edison, and Rhett Salem seem to have it all. However, behind the shine, there are shadows, and in the pack misogyny and intolerance run as deep as the river through Havermouth, influencing every decision that the three make. Hiding that their Triquetra is bi-sexual, and that they are each other’s mates is a necessity, not an option, and they eagerly await the day when their female mate is revealed, and they can openly claim their love for one another. When that mate appears however, she is not what they expected. She is human, intractable, and rebellious – and she does not like them. Or, at least, she does not like all of them. Will the female mate that they’d hoped would save them, tear them apart? Trigger warnings for this book: this is a dark romance werewolf story containing dubious consent, violence, and assault.

The year I turned fourteen, Grandma and I were crammed into a beat-up trailer on the edge of a desert town. She couldn't afford paint, so she mixed colors from the cheapest red clay pigment at the general store. When a frame broke, she hammered it back together herself. When canvas tore, she patched the back with old cloth and sealed it with a paste she boiled from leftover church wax and cheap resin. Grandma never went to school. She painted out of pure love, and she kept at it for thirty years. Then one summer, a gallery owner named Evelyn Hart crawled into Grandma's leaky shed and examined every painting, flipping each one over to study both sides. The next day, every last painting was gone. Finished oils, sketches, pigment records, old photographs, frames. Everything cleared out overnight. Three months later, Grandma walked into Evelyn's gallery and saw her own painting, Madonna of the Red Rock, hanging in the brightest spot. But the brass nameplate beside it bore Evelyn's name. She lunged for the painting. The security guards pried her fingers loose and dragged her out the door. That night, a blizzard sealed off the roads. She pounded on the glass, but no one came. The next morning, when I found her outside the gallery, her body was already frozen solid. After the funeral, I went to clean out what was left of the burned shed. Inside the lining of an old brush pouch, I found a small scrap of painted canvas. It was a piece Grandma had trimmed off while repairing Madonna of the Red Rock. The thief had missed it. I tucked it away and kept it. For twenty years. Twenty years later, I was the compliance director at an international art marketplace. A young woman submitted an auction application for a series of paintings. The Desert Madonna Series was about to be sold to collectors and private museums around the world. The collection was valued at more than $150 million. I opened the file. In the artist field, I stared at the name for a long time. "Application denied."

To the glittering high society of Bangkok, thirty-year-old Keeraphat "Queen" Siri-Wattana is a woman carved from marble. As the stone-faced CEO of a multi-billion-baht construction empire, she moves through corporate takeovers and political galas with terrifying, unreadable precision. But behind her flawless silk suits lies a gilded cage. Choked by the ruthless ambitions of her corrupt politician stepfather, Queen is a prisoner to a legacy she ice-coldly detests. Enter Bonita "Babe" Prapasiri. Twenty, fierce, and fiercely independent, Babe is a university student working three exhausting jobs just to survive. Her life is a relentless battle against the crushing weight of her mother’s gambling debts and the violent loan sharks knocking at her door. She has no room for vulnerability and a pride too stubborn to ever ask for help. When a volatile confrontation at an exclusive rooftop lounge brings their clashing worlds together, Queen makes a sudden, calculated choice. In a single, commanding move, she buys out Babe's massive debt—effectively securing the girl's presence in her life. Babe is thrust headfirst into Queen's sterile corporate world under a strict employment contract. What begins as a tense, pride-fueled battle of wills slowly starts to fracture. Beneath Queen's unreadable "Ice Queen" exterior, Babe discovers deep-seated isolation; beneath Babe's defensive armor, Queen finds a fiery spirit that refuses to be broken. But in a world built on transactions, dangerous secrets don't stay buried for long. As greedy relatives and high-society sabotage conspire to rip them apart, Queen must decide if she is willing to dismantle her entire empire to protect her. In a life where everything is bought and sold, can the Ice Queen risk it all for her only genuine ally?

**FOURFOLD OBSESSION** Some nights are supposed to disappear by morning. Mia Calloway had one rule: never learn a stranger's name before midnight ends. No names, no consequences, no complications — just one reckless night before she flew across an ocean to move in with a stepfamily she'd never met. She never expected to see him again. She definitely never expected there to be four of him to choose from. Now she's living in a house with four stepbrothers — and one of them already knows exactly how her breath catches when she's not being careful. The only problem? She has no idea which one. Is it the eldest, cold and controlled, who looks at her like a problem he hasn't finished solving? The quiet one, who says almost nothing — and somehow makes every silence feel like a confession? The golden one, easy and unguarded, who might be hiding the most careful lie of all behind that grin? Or the one who can't stop staring at her mouth like he's trying not to remember something he can't forget? Every glance is a clue. Every almost-touch is a trap. And the closer Mia gets to the truth, the more she starts to wonder if she even wants to find it — because finding it means the one good, uncomplicated night of her life is about to become the most complicated thing she's ever survived. Four brothers. One secret. And a truth that's going to burn this family down the second it comes out. **Who was he? You'll have to turn the page to find out — and you won't want to stop until you do.**
