Goldie must embrace a new world, new rules, and a defiant protector she secretly wants. Continue the journey with the Princesses of Myth in this adventurous novel from New York Times Bestselling Author Joanne Wadsworth.
To love and protect…across worlds.
The two warring nations on planet Magio have now been united under a leading team of eight—four warriors from Dralion and four protectors from Peacio—a team who must now work together to bring their divided nations back together as one.
Goldie Wincrest is a princess of Dralion, cursed with a skill she’s never disclosed to another, an ability outlawed from their world centuries ago. She is a Chaser, one who must fight the deadly pull of her assassin ability, only she can no longer trust either herself or her fragmented thoughts any longer. There is only one pathway open to her, to choose her Destroyer and to give him the power he needs to see to her death should she go completely Dark.
Sorrell Sona is a fierce protector, a fighter of unparalleled strength, and when Goldie shares the knowledge of her outlawed ability with him, he is left in a terrible position. He must choose whether he can be her Destroyer should she become one of the Dark, or instead take a chance on seeking to be her savior.
Can he slay a princess of their world should she turn, or is he in too deep with her?

The Princesses of Myth series will always be incredibly special to me. This is the first ever series which I dreamed up in 2009–with a huge cast and draft copies of four books written that year–drafts which would eventually become the foundation for this series. From those drafts, I rewrote the first book, PROTECTOR, then managed to secure my first ever publishing contract. This series is in fact the one that launched my writing career, to what it has become today. I met my amazing editors through this series, as well as authors from the same publishing house who I now consider awesome friends, but best of all, I’ve met all of you, my wonderful readers, who’ve embraced all my stories and come with me on this magical journey I’ve embarked on. I couldn’t have done this without you. Your wonderful reviews and messages, I take straight into my heart. You’ve asked me for more books in the Princesses of Myth series, and I’m right there with you. More books are coming after CHASER. If you’d like to, check out the end of the post for the cover to the next book in this series, PIRATE PRINCESS.
Here’s an exclusive excerpt below for a taste of what’s to come in CHASER.
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
I thudded down on a crunchy matting of fallen leaves and pine nettles and almost lost my balance as Sorrell released me. I wobbled at the edge of a sheer cliff where it fell away with rolling forested hills spread out far into the distance. A thick layer of gray cloud swept across the sky, from horizon to horizon.
A storm brewed, and not just within nature, but within the man at my back too.
I righted myself and went to turn around, only I changed my mind.
I stayed exactly where I was.
“You’re giving me your back, Princess. You do realize that, right?” His deep voice floated over me as he loomed from behind, his intoxicating aroma as well.
“That’s because I already trust you.” I would be prickling with unease otherwise.
“Like hell you do.” A snort, his disbelief clear to hear.
“Honestly, I do.” The tips of my boots rode the fine edge of the cliff where the odd leaf whisked away in the breeze and fluttered over the steep side. Slowly, I turned around and faced him, my gaze directly on his. “Do you want to know how and why?”
“Sure, explain yourself, because right now I’m incredibly tempted to toss you over this cliff.”
“I have a very new and extremely aggravating skill.” I dipped my head, closed my eyes and braced myself for the truth I now needed to speak. “One day soon,” I continued as I lifted my gaze back to his, “I will need you to see to my death.”
“Well, today works for me.” Seizing my arms, he tipped me back until I leaned right over the edge of the ledge at a rather precarious angle, my blond hair fluttering and my sword swaying back heavily on my hip.
I didn’t fight his move though, one which showed his clear dominance, which was exactly what had brought me to him in the first place. “You speak my kind of language, Sorrell.”
PIRATE PRINCESS
COMING NEXT IN THIS SERIES – COVER REVEAL!
Amarisa Sol is a princess of the Eastern Isles of Magio, a privateer who is determined to uncover all the riches of her world, and all while discovering if there is truth behind the supposed end of the war between the countries of Peacio and Dralion.
Wishing you all a wonderful week. Stay safe.
Happy Reading.

Hi everyone, I’m super excited to be bringing you CHASER, releasing October 2nd, 2017. We’re heading back to the Princesses of Myth, and all the crew are back so you’ll get to catch up with Faith and Davio, Hope and Silas, Silvie and Guy, and Belle and Nicolas. One thing I love, love about Chaser, is that during Goldie’s story we get to unravel more about Donaldo Wincrest of Dralion, and to discover exactly how he came to be such a ruthless king. Goldie and Sorrell absolutely stole my heart in this story, and I hope you love their adventure as much as I do. Catch the exclusive excerpt below for a taste of what’s to come.

The Duke’s Bride, Regency Brides #1
Ebook: Amazon USA | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU |
Also at: Nook | iBooks | Kobo | Google Play
Paperback: Amazon | B&N
A fiercely loyal lady, along with her brooding duke come head-to-head in a battle of wills! An unforgettable regency romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Joanne Wadsworth.
He must steal a lady…then steal her love.
Desiring a man and never being noticed as more than his best friend’s little sister has Lady Ellie Trentbury finally consigning herself to the truth. She must move on, and preferably with a man who lives far away from her home in London where she need never be reminded of the duke who stole her heart. An elopement with an honorable American shipping merchant sounds perfect.
The Duke of Ashten has no choice but to bound into his best friend’s carriage when he discovers little Ellie is inside and intent on eloping with a man to Gretna Green who she barely knows. He can’t allow her to make such a terrible mistake, yet convincing her might mean giving into his desire for the golden-eyed enchantress who has followed him around since he was a lad.
Her pouty lips and bountiful charms can no longer be ignored, only convincing her of the truth of his intentions will mean jeopardizing both his sanity and a lifelong friendship as well.
Hi everyone, The Duke’s Bride is here! The writing of this book took me on a whirlwind of adventure, and I can’t wait for you to meet Ellie and Ashten. They’ve known each other since their childhood, and now it’s time for them to admit their love for each other. I’m going to drop a tasty excerpt below.
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
Ellie had always wished for such a moment as this, and since this might be the only opportunity she ever had with Ashten, she placed her gloved hand in his and showed her ready acceptance with her actions.
“You are far too trusting.”
“You would never hurt me.”
“Let’s hope not.” Gently, he turned her hand over and finger by finger, tugged on the soft silk until he’d removed her glove then done, dropped it onto the bench beside him and brought her palm to his mouth. With one warm and incredibly soft kiss against her skin, the midnight blue of his eyes twinkling bright, he asked, “Are you ready?”
“Is there anything I need to do during this disrespectful kiss?”
“No, not a thing.” As the opening notes of a waltz floated toward them, he rose and drew her to her feet, then slowly, carefully, he pulled her into his arms.
“I can’t believe we’re about to dance.”
“And kiss.”
“Yes, that too.” She placed her gloved hand on his shoulder, her ungloved hand still held firm in his. Never had she ever danced this close to a gentleman before. Six inches was the required etiquette, and there was less than three inches between them right now. “You look dashing, as if you’ve dressed for this ball tonight, then chose to remain indoors.”
“Since we’re being honest, I was extremely tempted to come.” He swept her around the inner circle of his gazebo, his hand firm on her waist and his limp barely noticeable. “Did you have to dance”—he cleared his gruff throat—“with quite so many men tonight?”
“Yes, but I much prefer dancing here with you right now.” Her legs wobbled. Was Ashten truly going to kiss her? Perhaps he was simply testing her, to see if she really did have a suitor she intended on eloping with. If he was, then she’d have to take great care.
“There’s an allure to a disrespectful kiss. Do you want to know what it is?” He leaned in closer, his breath whispering across her lips.
“Tell me.” She sucked in a breath, her heartbeat thundering in her ears.
“It’s called the danger that awaits with the conclusion of that kiss. Does one simply stop, or does one continue with a second disrespectful kiss?”
Wishing you all a wonderful week. Stay safe.
Happy Reading.

Highlander’s Claim, The Matheson Warriors #2
Ebook: Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU
Also at: Nook | iBooks | Kobo | Google Play
Paperback: Amazon | B&N
He seeks the one his heart desires…
Ailith, the granddaughter of the King of the Fae, travels through time when needed to aid her half-blooded Earthbound kind. Her ability allows her to see visions of war and destruction before it unfolds, and now death is coming for one of the fae warriors she is called to protect, except to save him, she must first discover exactly who he is, and which time he might come from.
Warrior shifter Hunter Matheson is intrigued by Ailith when she arrives through a portal into his twenty-first century time from the year 1211. A feud rages over eight-hundred years in the past between his fae-blooded shifter clan and their neighboring enemy, and now he’s driven in his desires for her, would give his life to protect hers. His fierce need for her strikes him deep within. He’s certain she’s the woman who holds the other half of his soul and now there’s nothing he won’t do to remain right by her side, no matter what war she seeks to halt, or if he’s the very warrior she must save from certain death.
Can Ailith keep Hunter safe, or will he perish exactly as she’s foreseen?
Hi everyone, Highlander’s Claim is here. I’m going to drop a tasty excerpt below. I absolutely loved writing this book, and I can’t wait for you to all meet Cherub’s nieces. Ailith is one of them, and she features in this book, and wow, she leads Hunter on a merry chase during the forging of their mated bond. Expect, action, adventure, battles, and fierce love.
EXCERT:
Ailith squeezed her hands into fists and tried not to open the door and bound back out. She both wanted to be with Hunter, and didn’t. His safety was only assured if she set these rising emotions for him aside and returned to the past. She couldn’t take him with her, and he wasn’t permitted to follow. That was the only option moving forward, until she no longer saw a vision of him perishing.
The cracking of bones echoed under the door then the heavy thump and scratch of paws resounded. Shifters could be incredibly territorial and if they were mated, he would be even more territorial due to their bond. Somehow, he’d already tracked her down. Drat it all. She jiggled from foot to foot, so unsure as to what to do. Let Hunter come in and spell him to forget her again? Or ignore him?
More thumping and scratching, a bear’s muzzle pressed to the gap under the doorway and a snort and growl rumbling through. Ugh, he wasn’t leaving, not until she’d dealt with him again. Heart squeezing in on itself, she opened her door and leaned against the doorjamb, then tried her best to assert as much authority into her voice as she could. “What do you want?”
A big bear prowled back and forth, Hunter’s clothing scattered across the floor of the passageway. He’d shifted in a hurry, and boy, did she have her work cut out for her with him. His bear’s golden shifter eyes drilled into hers, his beast holding a stunning brown pelt with white-tipped paws.
He rumbled another grizzly growl, then padded past her into her chamber before turning around in a slow circle in the middle of the room at the end of her four-poster bed. He sat on his rump on the white rug, his front legs straight and ears alert as he observed her like one did when examining a bug under a microscope. Aye, and she was currently the bug.
Wishing you all a wonderful week. Stay safe.
Happy Reading.
