Royal Bondage
by Delilah Devlin, Samantha Winston, Marianne LaCroix

A lady's every rapturous wish is the king's command in three regal stories where sex rules the land.

Llewellyn's Song by Samantha Winston (originally published in e-book format)
In the land of Hivernia, the whispers of war have grown louder. At the request of his king and in order to save his people, Llewellyn, a forest elf, goes to the far north seeking Frostbone, the ice-demon king. But on the way he finds a wounded d'ark t'uath, one of the women warriors of the hidden valley. Proud and untamed, these women have no use for men...but Tamara finds herself falling in love with the tall, one-eyed elf who rescues her.

Tamara and Llewellyn have to learn acceptance of each other's beliefs in order to join forces and warn Hivernia of impending war.

Arctic Dragon by Delilah Devlin (originally published in e-book format)
Headstrong, and seeking a little respite from a suitor's relentless wooing, Queen Larikke rode the arctic wind far beyond the bounds of Northland, only to have her horse bolt at a shot from a hunter's gun. Her rescuer is a handsome, mysterious man who lives alone in the wilderness, his cabin filled with erotic images of women. Rather than fearing her fate, Larikke sets out to seduce him, hoping for one last fling before she settles down to do her duty and wed.

Thinking he was saving a life, Drake dragged a very strange woman home, stripped her and warmed her by his fire. Now he finds his long, self-imposed isolation may have made her allure impossible for him to resist and that he'll endanger her when he shares his special kiss.

Scorpion King by Marianne Lacroix (originally published in e-book format)
Queen Naiya Pisces rules the oceanic city of Pacifica, but when the foundation begins to shake, Naiya must turn to unexpected allies for help—the Land-walkers.

Captain Drake "Scorpio" Scopillo leads a geological study of the ocean floor, investigating the possibility of an earthquake that could devastate Naiya's city. Determined and commanding, Drake is normally all business—but one look at the beautiful queen and he's thrust into an internal struggle to resist her powerful allure.

Naiya recognizes Drake as the man foretold by legend—the Scorpion King, the one man born to command her body and soul and rule at her side. But Drake is strong in his resistance, and seduction is her only hope. She prays her feminine charms, coupled with nights of heated sex, will melt his icy heart. For only with the Scorpion King by her side will her people find the hope and strength to survive what the future holds.

Delilah Devlin's Bio

Until recently, award-winning romance author Delilah Devlin lived in South Texas at the intersection of two dry creeks, surrounded by sexy cowboys in Wranglers. These days, she's missing the wide-open skies and starry nights but loving her dark forest in Central Arkansas, with its eccentric characters and isolation---the better to feed her hungry muse! For Delilah, the greatest sin is driving between the lines, because it's comfortable and safe. Her personal journey has taken her through one war and many countries, cultures, jobs, and relationships to bring her to the place where she is now---writing sexy adventures that hold more than a kernel of autobiography and often share a common thread of self-discovery and transformation.
