About this ebook

Twelve men. A virgin queen. One arranged marriage.


The first time I met the boys of the Zodiac Brotherhood, I was forced to my knees for the introduction. Still grieving the death of my parents, I was a young queen, a pawn in my uncle’s agenda for wealth and gain. As my guardian, he had the authority to arrange a marriage upon my eighteenth birthday.


That meeting took place six years ago.

Now those boys are powerful men.

Twelve headstrong men that want to own me.


And I must spend a month with each one.

Bending and yielding to their desires and commands.

Shedding pieces of my innocence so long as my virtue remains intact.


Because they want a virgin queen after the last month concludes, and my uncle plans to auction me off to the highest bidder.


Out of the twelve men, only one has my heart.

And only one can claim my hand in marriage.

If only it were up to me to decide.


Part 1 of The Zodiac Queen. Intended for mature readers who enjoy dark and explicit themes. Reader discretion is advised.

That's how you insult women. This book is not healthy for society. Just because she (MC) is a women, doesn't mean she has to suffer the physical abuse. It also shows an unhealthy attitude of men towards women which is not true. This is not right. Respect the human rights.

A virgin queen, orphaned and sold to a cursed island of men, Aries is the first novella in the disturbingly dark yet addictive Zodiac Queen series by Gemma James. An entire year of submitting to sexual favours, enduring humiliation and pain at the hands of master BDSM enthusiasts while discovering a passion for pleasures she never knew her body could experience, retaining her virtue for the auction of her hand in marriage at the end of the year might just prove to be a torture in itself. An emotional yet steamy introduction to the men of the Zodiac Island, Novalee’s first month proves to be nothing like she had expected, the Chancellor, Liam, is more endearing then imaginable... And there’s 11 more men to experience... This book series features themes that may upset some readers and is therefore not for everyone. Aries features, but is not limited to, the following themes: BDSM Polyamorous relationships Sexual content Arranged marriage Virgin Queen My overall rating for Aries is... 4 stars! This book is dangerously hot if you don’t mind the darker themes. I feel a crooked sense of anticipation to discover the personalities and fetishes of the remaining men of Zodiac Island.

This made me angry. I had to remember it was just a book a few times. There were too many things left unsaid. I understand it is part of a 12 book series but that's not an excuse if you've already decided to dedicate "a whole book" to the subject.
