The plans were perfect. Her dress was a froth of white lace. Her maid of honor had just finished pinning her veil in place. The buzz of excitement and fizz of champagne filled her ears. She just wanted to take a breath alone to soak it in before the emotion of the day blurred her mind. What she couldn’t have planned was the pain lying in wait on the other side of her hotel room door ready to topple it all.

When Georgia runs from the picture-perfect life she had meticulously built, taking her honeymoon trip alone, she prays the secluded seaside resort will wash away her shame. The private beach surrounding her villa offers her seclusion and peace, but the grief and betrayal threaten to drown her. And each night, the quiet cove tucked behind no trespassing signs whispers her name, calling for her to slip into the glittering blue water.

The creature had lived in this cove for centuries and never had she seen a human alone and with such an endless stream of tears. Styx watches the broken woman as she lounges on the sand and moves like a ghost around the small house just beyond the boundaries of her cove. Quietly, she calls to her, desperate to find out what stole her spirit. She wants nothing more than to hold the woman in the lull of the waves as she rips the source of her grief from the world. As obsession rises like the tide, Styx finds herself desperate to fix the fragile human.

But all vacations end, and as Georgia’s past comes hunting her down, the only way to survive may be to call to the storm beneath the surface and let its vengeance consume her entirely. She’ll have to stare into the depths and grapple with the fear that trusting a monster may be taunting the same fate that already burned her.

Love is an anchor that drags you into the deep…where even the tides have teeth.

A Witch and Her Minotaur (Coven Crest Academy Book 2) by Emberly Wyndham

A Witch and Her Minotaur (Coven Crest Academy Book 2)
by Emberly Wyndham
Expected Release Date: October 3
Genre: Cozy Fantasy, Monster Romance,

• Academy setting
• Enemies to lovers
• Forced proximity
• Age gap
• Forbidden love
• Fire witch x Minotaur groundskeeper

She’s chaos and sparks. He’s calm carved from stone. Now he’s burning for her—and the flames refuse to be tamed.

Lyra Wilder has a fire problem—literally and emotionally. As a volatile fire witch with a reputation of leaving scorch marks wherever she goes, she’s one magical mishap away from being expelled from Coven Crest Academy. When she’s sentenced to a year of community service with the academy’s stoic, reclusive groundskeeper, she expects misery and manual labor. She doesn’t expect Cairn: a brooding minotaur with soil-stained hands, quiet strength, and a soul more deeply rooted than the gardens he tends.

Cairn has kept his world small and quiet for a reason. He doesn’t need chaos. He doesn’t need fire. And he certainly doesn’t need a defiant, impulsive witch disturbing the fragile peace he’s worked so hard to build and protect. But what begins as reluctant cooperation slowly blossoms into something neither of them planned: respect, vulnerability . . . and a forbidden love that could cost them everything.

As the seasons shift and their connection deepens, Lyra and Cairn must confront the fears and scars they’ve both buried. Because love, like magic, has rules—and breaking them could set a fire that’ll be impossible to put out.

A Witch and Her Minotaur is the second book in a quartet of standalones set against the magical backdrop of Coven Crest Academy. If you like cozy books with gentle monsters and a dash of spice, this book is for you! Appropriate for readers 18+.

A woman escaping her past…

Kristy Gallagher has slayed a monster before. When she could no longer live with her husband’s abuse, she plunged a knife into his neck. Then, she fled his family’s criminal empire—changing her name and traveling to the far reaches of the world, before finding her safe haven in Bali.

She’s used to looking over her shoulder but nothing could prepare her for the monster that lurks beyond the shore. Sharp claws, grasping tentacles—Krakens are real, and their King has decided she’s to be his bride.

A monster trying to end a curse…

Ordus is King of the Dead Lands, the last Kraken of his bloodline, and the final hope to break a terrible curse that plagues his lands. He must find his destined bride, his soul mate, and marry her to save his kingdom.

His fated mate shouldn’t be a human, but something about her calls to him like no other creature ever has. He drags her to his island, kicking and screaming, begging to be returned to the mainland.

Ordus must convince her he’s not a monster to be feared, but her soul mate who will protect her from anything and anyone who means her harm.

Including his own people.

A dark and delicious tale about what makes a monster—THE SALTWATER CURSE is inspired by the Hades/Persephone myth. Only with a lot more tentacles.

Stretching, sex, unconsented voyeurism, cannibalism (Depending on how you look at it), murder, gore, death by tentacles, shark attack (kind of?), kidnapping, health issues, toxic characters, trauma, PTSD, racism (by krakens toward humans).

About the Author:
website
From an early age, romance author Avina St. Graves spent her days imagining fantasy worlds and dreamy fictional men, which spurred on from her introverted tendencies. In all her day dreaming, there seemed to be a reoccurring theme of morally grey female characters, love interests that belong in prison, and unnecessary trauma and bloodshed.

Much to everyone's misfortune, she now spends her days in a white collar job praying to every god known to man that she might be able to write full time and give the world more red flags to froth over.
