Hanleigh loves books more than nearly anything in the world; whether its reading them or writing them, Hanleigh just can't get enough. She's read more books than she can count and owns more books than some libraries.

Trust was a liberty that as Kumari, Bae could not afford, especially after the murder of Bae’s mother, the late Kumari.

The Kumari bloodline had to continue regardless of the cost, even if it was the life of someone she loved.

There were only two things that a Kumari should trust; magic and her seven mates.

The race was on for Bae to find and claim her seven mates before she had to defend her realm from an unknown enemy.

With them, she still might not win, but alone she would definitely fail.

Kumari's Kitsune

Adelaide was hanging on to Hisoka as he stared out of the carriage window. She had wrapped herself around his arm, pulling him closer, and he couldn't pull back. That would give the game away. He felt trapped, tethered to her in a way he didn't want to be.


Hisoka was disgusted that it had been so simple, convincing her that he wanted her, that he loved her in fact. She'd believed everything he'd said and then he'd fucked her.


Now he was sitting with the silly woman in an empty carriage, following after the Kumari. Adelaide's touch made him feel almost sick. She was just a means to an end, he kept telling himself, but he couldn't escape the slight sense of guilt that he could feel creeping up on him.


He'd always known that she liked him. He'd liked her too at one time.
