Set into his corona, or circle, of Air elements, he has given up on his world as well and has chosen to guard the Eunia Crystal with twenty others. They are solitary people, revered but left alone. And it on his watch that the Eunia comes alive - and bring his destiny to him!

As the government of Cardinal Terrun sits on the precipice of disaster, only Grandin and Devon can make the decisions that save his world, or throw it into a war in which they are the generals - and the spoils...

What she thought was a leap of faith into her first, real life adventure was only the beginning. Her uncle, and the house he had willed to her, held secrets beyond her understanding, but she held the answers to her future in the palm of her hand: the Skeleton Key. Would she be brave enough to turn the lock and step into her destiny?

Hallet, King of the Fire Elements, spent his life obsessed with the prophecy of the Skeleton Door and the one who would walk through it.

His power over the fire element burned in his soul, and although he loved ruling over his people, deep down, something was missing...

A classic fairy tale? Hardly!

Oliver Hudson, a successful business man, returned home to the small country of Rêves at the behest of his friend, King Preston, to help rebuild the kingdom. The first time he meets the sassy Princess, Philippa St. Clair, he knows, without a doubt, they were made for each other and he will do whatever it takes to make her his. He has the endurance to wear her down and he won’t stop until he wins. Perhaps if she knew about his… stamina, she might not have led him on such a merry chase!

Pippa doesn’t have any intention of settling down, especially with a slightly older man, most likely a workaholic who doesn’t know how to have any fun. No matter how sexy and wealthy he is. When Oliver begins to pursue her, she digs up an old, forgotten law stating all of her older sisters must be married before her. With twelve sisters, Pippa is confident Oliver will forget all about her before she is free to be, well, shackled. How’s that for irony?

Twelve nights, twelve fantasies, twelve stories of true love. Or… is it only eleven?
