Q&a With Laurie R. King

“SUCK ME," he growled, his grip on my hair tightening as he pushed harder. “PLEASURE ME LIKE THE F*CKING WHORE YOU ARE, KAELEN.” I tried to say no, to resist, but my mouth burned as he shoved it deeper. The pain was much but I found myself wanting him more. Kaelen was a skilled thief with a decent life—until he stole a cursed spellbook from the Inquisition and accidentally summoned Thrakos, the Demon King. Hoping to bind the demon to his will, the ritual backfired, leaving Kaelen magically and sexually bound to a horny Thrakos instead. Now a pawn in Thrakos’s war against his brother Vaelith, Kaelen gains dangerous powers but loses control. Hunted by Inquisitors, demons, and monsters, he must travel to Vermont to retrieve the Hell-blade—a sacred weapon forged to kill Vaelith. With Sylvia and a shapeshifting succubus at his side, Kaelen faces deadly enemies and the growing darkness within himself. With each orgasm and surge of power, Kaelen becomes less human and more demon. When the final battle comes, will he fight for freedom—or embrace his new nature and become the Demon King’s ultimate weapon?

“Marry me.” I said to the man I had just met. His assessing gaze was fixed on my face. “No woman would want to have an impotent man or have them as mate but I do! So marry me.” He leaned closer to me and our faces were inches apart. “Ok, deal.” Cassandra caught her stepsister and her mate together the day before her mating ceremony, and she been forced by her father to marry him, regardless. She needed an escape from the harsh reality of being stuck with a cheating mate, that was when she met the mysterious Dorian Fernandez.

When Alina’s parents announced that their business was bankrupt, akala niya tapos na ang mundo niya. She thought there was no way out, no hope for her family—until Adamon Salvatore walked into their house. The youngest billionaire in the country, kilalang cold-hearted at mysterious, made them an offer they couldn’t refuse: he will save their company, pero kailangan siyang pakasalan ni Alina. Out of desperation and love for her parents, Alina said yes. The marriage made headlines. Their business was saved. Everyone thought she was living her perfect life—luxury, power, and a handsome husband beside her. But behind that glamorous world was a truth darker than anything she imagined. Adamon is not just a billionaire. He is a mafia king. Ang akala ni Alina kaya niyang tiisin ang bagong buhay, until she discovered secrets that could destroy her. She tried to escape—pero hinabol siya ni Adamon para ibalik, ngunit may mga tao ring gustong humabol sa kanya nang malamang siya ang asawa nito. Worse, habang lumalayo siya, mas lalo siyang nahuhulog sa lalaking dapat niyang katakutan. Saan siya tatakbo, if her heart screams that her home is in Adamon’s arm yet she is afraid of his world.

“It's good to see you.” Armando's tone was rusty as he whispered in her ears. “It's not every day, I get to see such beauty.” He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “It's a pain in the ass to see you.” Leonor was struggling against the chair she was strapped with thick ropes. “I was not born with enough middle fingers to let you know how I truly feel.” She spat. __ Armando, a heartless, ruthless, Italian Mafia King who is as cunning as a fox, as dangerous as a mastermind criminal, the leader of his gang, and a brutal loan shark continues his risky adventurous life.

After the great war between humans, vampires, werewolves, and elves, an agreement was made that hybrid offspring would rule the world. Every century, alliances through marriage between humans and those three clans would decide the next ruler. Whoever bore the first hybrid child would claim power for their line. In my previous life, I chose to marry Jax, the eldest son of the werewolf pack, known for his fierce loyalty. I gave birth to our hybrid son, a white-furred pup we named Zeal. Our child became the next world ruler, and Jax gained immense power. My sister had lusted after the elves' beauty and married into their clan. But the elf prince slept with every female in the forest. In the end, my sister caught a disease that left her barren. Jealous and bitter, she set a fire that burned me and my young pup alive.

But she didn't know that Jax was brutally savage with his mates, having torn countless she-wolves apart in his bed during his ruts.
