Courting the Witch, M. J. Scott , single work novella fantasy

'Desire or duty…which will woo a witch?

'Imogene Carvelle has always dreamed of a glittering career as an Imperial Mage. She wants to travel the empire and do some good. Marriage can wait. When she returns home from a long mission away, she has nothing more on her mind than having a little fun. But when Imogene meets a huge and handsome heir to a duq at a ball, her plans for just one night get complicated. Because the oh-so-delicious but oh-so-wrong Jean-Paul du Laq doesn’t want to let her go…

'Jean-Paul du Laq knows he has to marry. As the heir to a duq, he has to carry on the family line with the right kind of wife. A career minded commoner like Imogene is absolutely not the woman he should be considering for anything more than a dalliance. But to him, Imogene shines brighter than the sun and he’s determined to win her heart…'

The Forbidden Heir, M. J. Scott , single work novel fantasy

'Lady Sophia Mackenzie has left almost everything behind. Her country. Her family. Her trust in the queen she suspects tried to kill her. All she has left is her own fledgling magic and her new husband, Cameron. But having fled Anglion to stay alive, she now has to learn how to face the dangers and temptations of Illvya, a land where the magic they practice is everything she’s been raised to fear.

'To those who rule Illvya—the mages with their demon familiars and the parliament—having an unbound royal witch like Sophie in their midst is to some an unparalleled opportunity and to others an unbearable threat. As factions form around them, Sophia and Cameron struggle to navigate the intrigues and repercussions of their flight from Anglion. Illvya seeks to control them and Anglion may well still be trying to kill them. As their choices close in around them and Sophia begins to discover the potential of her powers, their bond—both magical and emotional—is pushed to the limit. In the end, in order to survive, Sophia will have to decide between loyalty and destiny and hope the price of her choice is one she can bear to pay ...'

The Unbound Queen, M. J. Scott , single work novel fantasy

'She’s been offered a crown but taking it could cost her everything…

'Lady Sophie Mackenzie might be fifth in line to the Anglion throne but she never wanted to rule. But she's bound to a demon, gifted with forbidden magic, and under threat from those who would use her unusual power for themselves. And now her hopes of finding peace in exile have been shattered by visions of a terrible darkness gnawing at the heart of her homeland.

'Then the emperor of Illvya makes her an offer she can't refuse—return home and overthrow the queen of Anglion, or lose everything she holds dear.

'To face down the darkness and save her husband and everyone she loves, she may have to betray the country—and the queen—she once served and play the games of power she never wanted any part of.

'But can she play them to win...'
