Phoenix Rising

Rosalie Greenwood's been called worthless since the day she was born. The neglected second daughter of a pirate turned landowner, she spent her days hiding in her room and begging her father to send her to a convent. Her only real ally was her older sister, Caterina, but she was contracted to marry the infamous Black Duke of Dragon Ridge. Then Caterina ran away with her lover, and Rosalie was forced to marry the duke instead.

Lochlyn Blackmoor was resigned to his fate. Thanks to a war he wasn't allowed to fight in, he became the duke at fourteen, and the only dragon shifter left in Alessia. Lochlyn spent the next ten years reclaiming his family's honor, but what he really needed was an heir. He agreed to marry out of duty, but he never expected to be swept away by Rosalie, a beauty with fire in her heart that matched his own.

Once they're home at Dragon Ridge, their marriage doesn't go smoothly. Rosalie and Lochlyn stay on opposite sides of the castle, until the last person they expected arrived on their doorstep. Thrown together by a situation out of their control they find solace in each other, but harmony doesn't last.

After being abruptly summoned to the capital by the king, they uncover a conspiracy linked to the legendary phoenix knights, the Order of the Sun, and learn how far the king—a weak shifter trapped in a half form for the last twenty years—is willing to go in order to keep his tenuous hold on the throne. What none of their enemies realize is that Rosalie is hiding the biggest secret of all.

Phoenix Rising is a romantasy featuring arranged marriage, fated mates, and reclaiming your power.
