Darius:

She’s forbidden. My attraction to her is wrong and dangerous. I’m like the serpent in the Garden of Eden targeting Eve. Corrupting her.

I understand the serpent, though. When you’ve seen the worst of humanity, taken the brunt of evil, you crave goodness. You want compassion and courage, even when it comes in a girl far too young and innocent for the likes of you.

If I get too close, I’ll ruin her.

But she’s so tempting. Sweet. And impossible to resist.

Nell:

I can’t believe I feel this way about him. Darius is my father’s oldest friend. He’s broken and scarred in ways I will never know or understand.

But so am I. And I see myself in him — this embattled war photographer and I are more alike than he will ever admit.

He warns me. He tells me our desire is wrong. Immoral.

But the wild, explosive heat between us is like a living creature. Neither one of us can escape it…no matter how desperately we try.

Or even if it destroys us both.

❤️ New York Times bestselling author Nina Lane returns with the Birdsong Trilogy, a provocative romance between two people whose forbidden love will set their lives—and the world—on fire.

A killer is on the loose in New York City.

When I woke up this morning, I hadn’t counted on this. I mean, sure, the life of a homicide detective will never be unicorns and rainbows, but any time where I’m called to a scene where the crime techs know the victim, it’s going to rank up there with some of the seriously bad days.
Someone in New York has a vendetta and they have all the hallmarks of a long silent serial killer.
But where does this serial killer cross over with our victims? How are they related? How many more names are on his list?

If I can’t cut through the questions this guy is throwing my way, it’s only going to be a matter of time before someone else ends up murdered.

They call me…Hero…Mercenary…Dragon Slayer.

But that wasn’t always the case.

There was a time when I thought that dragons were beautiful…

During my childhood, I believed that I was friends with a dragon, except the dragon never knew of this friendship.

Days after my thirteenth birthday, my secret was no longer mine to keep. Soldiers arrived to slay the dragon so that a feudal lord could make his name amongst the Nine Kingdoms. It ended in abject failure. They were left to soak in a bloodbath of their own making.

In a rage, the dragon destroyed the place that I called home, and killed the people that I called family. She also dismantled a thing that I called love.

Reborn under a mound of ashen corpses, my empty shell vowed vengeance, forging a fiery path of retribution that could not be undone.

Not by my own design, I inadvertently became a slayer of dragons. Curiously, dragon slaying isn’t my next job…

A princess is being held for ransom at a goblin fort. Wearing the stolen armour of a goblin knight, I attempt to rescue her to claim my prize.

When I met her, she was Winter. Now, she is Spring. Maybe I can learn to love again…
