About this listen
When Lis is hired to steal a valuable amulet by her unscrupulous employer, she doesn’t anticipate that she will be coming face-to-face with an angry bear-shifter.
But it’s not just the possibility of a big pay day that attracts Lis to the job, and getting snowed in with the bossy shifter in his secluded cabin leads her to question all of her life choices.
Gold & Shadow is the first in a series of seven spicy fairy tale retellings, each featuring a different magically gifted Nightshade sister as she finds both intrigue and romance.

Story
Marina has known for a long time that she doesn’t want the life her parents want for her, but when they announce her betrothal to the steady but dull captain of the guard, she reluctantly accepts her duty. That is until an enemy siren is captured and presented to her father, and Marina can’t think of anything but amber eyes and wings. In a twist of fate, Marina finds herself the prisoner of an enemy king in a plot to end a centuries-long war between their peoples that can only end in either death or heartbreak.

Story
It’s three days until Christmas, and Sage has only one thing keeping her from the cozy comfort of home and family at the holidays. Unfortunately, that one thing is Dr. Alec Ashcroft, the cold and condescending postdoc in the magical portomancy department, who also happens to stand in the way of Sage’s degree. But when portal magic goes awry, Sage finds herself trapped with her arch-nemesis and learns that Alec is far less frigid than she’d believed.

Story
I’d known exactly who he was—the Unseelie prince. But I hadn’t known just what he was. I’d been fooled. The creature I’d formed a tentative friendship with in my family’s dungeon was not the gentle, intriguing prince I’d thought him to be. He was a monster. A bloodthirsty beast. And I’d helped him escape my uncle’s clutches. Such a betrayal called for severe consequences, and the price of releasing the biggest threat our kingdom had faced in hundreds of years was not one I would survive.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Loved!
Gold and shadow
Absolutely swoon worthy! I was a little nervous about listening to a novella, as I always feel like I am wanting more after a short story, but this was such an amazing story and I felt fulfilled afterwards! I love the idea of having an over arching story and then getting to learn about different characters along the way. Madeleine is an absolute genius in the way she writes. Absolutely my favorite author and another Nella. I will be coming back to. More, please!

Little thief!
This story was exquisite. I ate it up and even listened to it twice because I couldn’t get enough of it. I absolutely enjoyed this Goldilocks retelling with a sexy bear shifter and the little thief. I definitely recommend the audio book. The quality is top notch and the voice of the male narrator E.M. Wylde was uffff, so sexy. The female narrator doesn’t fall behind. She did an amazing job as well. Her voice was heavenly to listen to.
