There is Rustrock and Lava Town, and there is nothing and no one else. Not for many miles, unless you consider the countless ruins and the deadly and diseased creatures that infest them, or the occasional peddler coming to deliver tales of distant civilizations. But here and now, there is only Rustrock and Lava Town. It would be best if they got along. They do not. The Queen, the active volcano that Lava Town takes its nickname from, looks out over all of them. The seasons are harsh. Cass may not have been born in Rustrock, but her loyalty to it is absolute. If she can prove herself by helping the struggling town survive, perhaps she can even earn the reputation that the rumors of her origin give her. But Lava Town's flock of flying marauders seem to be there to thwart Rustrock at every turn, and her secret connection to their leader only complicates things. When mysterious strangers from the north turn up, however, it may be a grand opportunity or an omen of worse things to come.

#Cupit #A #HR #Q Beyond the Gate - Forced to join the legions or lose the farm,Titus must divorce Marcella as only officer's can be wed. Unwilling to wait his 20-yr deployment, Marcella lives beyond the fortress gate w/the other 'barbarian wives' when an officer disappears. Who killed Quintus & why?
A Roman soldier stares across a wild vista, while a Roman woman walks away. We see the Legionary fortress gate and an armed barbarian on the other side. A heart knits them together.

Rylee Dane’s social media post of a bouquet of pink, orange, and yellow flowers with the caption: Just when I thought Sam and I were on better terms, he does this. What did I do to deserve such hostility? A comment section then follows reading: Sam I already apologized!!! Naomi To anyone else, this would be a perfectly normal Valentine’s Day gift. Rylee Dane Those poor innocent flowers :( Fiona Please tell me this isn’t gonna slow down the collaboration AGAIN. We can’t wait much longer! Sam I’m going to try to plant new flowers from them. Rylee will forgive me eventually. Rylee Dane Maybe.

When the supposedly God-like royals of the Golden Kingdom die, Talia takes it upon herself to mold Matthias, last surviving royal and a man she hates, into a competent ruler.

She forgets that competent doesn't mean cruel.

This is how a kingdom falls. This is DIVINE BLOOD.

I will always read #CuPit as "copper pit." (In case anyone needed proof I'm a chemist.)

Copper is, in fact, mentioned in ChemPortal. Electrochemistry AND romantic chemistry in one book! The combo you never knew you were missing...

What happens when a chemistry professor writes a romance?

If that prof is me, you get CHEMPORTAL, in which two awkward scientists battle cults, corporations, and unwanted feelings as they try to invent fertilizer.

Plus, feminist takes on science history. And maybe aliens.

Moodboard. Centre image is a pressure cooker with "CHEMPORTAL" written across it. Outer images clockwise from top left: - fancy drinks and food on a table set for 2 - typed text on a page of a book. "Chemistry" is highly visible - a white woman with brown hair working on a car engine - the Toronto skyline - a colourful stack of books - a bright light shining through a partially open door, obscuring the world beyond - a bat hanging from a branch - a stack of latkes

Mood board for Sage owen’s untitled Christmas romance novel. Includes a dark haired woman, a man in a cowboy hat, snowy small town countryside scenes, a holiday market, a piano and acoustic guitar, a woman cuddling a golden retriever, and a close up of a man and a woman’a hands loosely entwined. An excerpt from a sage owen romance WIP, text as follows: "Need a jump?" he guessed out the window. If it was much more than that he wouldn't be much help. A face peered around the hood, squinting in his headlights. Well then. "Lark? It's Billy." Relief gave her the softest expression she'd showed him yet. She came around to his driver's side. How long had she been out here alone? She looked half-frozen. "Hi. My battery's dead, I think." "I've got cables. Want me to take a look?" "Thanks. I'm... hopeless about cars." He folded awkwardly into her driver's seat and tried to start the little car. It didn't make a sound. He dug around behind his seat for jumper cables and after a few minutes with the cars connected he tried her Toyota again. She was shifting from foot to foot, shivering, wasn't dressed for a prolonged stand about in the weather. "Go on and sit in the truck, why don't you? This'll take a few and it'll either work or it won't, no sense getting frostbite over it." Lark muttered something but after a moment she accepted his suggestion. He tried a few more things but five more minutes later he gave it up as a lost cause. He opened his passenger door and leaned in, relishing the blast of heat. "No luck. I can drop you someplace and we can deal with it tomorrow, or I'll wait with you for a tow." "We?" she sounded skeptical. "Not to presume but I work the opening shift at the nearest auto parts store, so I'm probably who you'll need to see for a new battery, unless you take it to a shop and give a middle man the privilege." "Unbelievable." She hissed under her breath. He stepped back, didn't want to loom over her. Lark closed her eyes, tipped her head toward the ceiling, drew in a slow purposeful breath. Then she straightened and nodded. "Alright. Let me get my things." So he closed her hood and his, then held the passenger door for her. She gave him a look. "Are you kidding?" "No ma'am." He grinned, and maybe it was a little rude to needle her when she was a
