At first, a tantalising new love distracts her but when her past comes rushing back, she must choose between her 2 lives. #YouDeservepIt #wf #poc #Q 90k

I think a LOT of people feel this way and I pray it’s just a matter of time that the world wakes up and the atrocities stop. We have to believe these little things help. Keep talking, keep sharing, keep posting, keep protesting, keep resisting. Because the day hope ends. That’s the day they’ve won.

Q: What happens in a Book Club?
I think it’s different depending on the group, and how comfortable/chatty everyone is. I expect to guide the discussion a little at the beginning. I’ll have a list of questions on the book, and everyone will have a chance to speak…

All Aurélien wants is to free his boyfriend from the shackles of the man who made him into a weapon. Unfortunately, as a descendent of Lancelot, his duty is supposed to come before his love — even if it means forsaking the son of King Arthur.

The son of King Arthur (who doesn't know his true identity), wants revenge. But when his boufriend (a descendent of Lancelot) stops him from getting it, the lovers become enemies, & the villain seizes their chance to push him to become a monster like his father before him.

Eilidh Shaw is a normal librarian. At least she was, until she was attacked by a werewolf. Now she’s training to become a warrior & get her revenge. But even if she gets it, she’ll need the help of 3 special people to bring down the real monster — Arthur Pendragon.
