About this listen
A princess by birthright. A warrior in spirit. A bargaining chip for my kingdom that marks me for death.
Everything I dared dream of for my life is scorched to ash when I'm forced to marry our enemy: the icy dragon king of Andrathya.
My father believes marriage can bridge the gap between us and the beasts we once considered allies. We once held soul bonds with those very dragons before a curse shattered the world we had known for centuries, leaving war imminent on the horizon.
I think him a fool.
I'd rather die with a sword in my hand than on my knees begging for mercy.
After mere days in my husband's possession, it's clear to me I could never love a beast like him—to spend the rest of my days by his side isn't an option.
We must find a way to break this curse to restore peace to our kingdom. Maybe then I will be able to return to my home and forget about the cruel king I'm forced to share a bed with.
The king who makes my heart thrum with need and my mind burn with frustration.
He wants me to be compliant and silent, but I refuse to tremble beneath the ire of his gaze and sharpness of his tongue.
A dangerous dance begins between us as we navigate our battle of wills and our undeniable draw for one another, all while unraveling the curse that leads both of our peoples to the edge of ruin.
Shards of Desire is the first book in the Dragons of Sin universe. This book is a standalone that can be enjoyed on its own and will not have a cliffhanger. The universe is intended to be listened to in any order, and the events of each book happen concurrently with each other within the lands of Edath. Intended for mature audiences.
Tropes include enemies-to-lovers, banter, arranged marriage with "my wife" moments, forced proximity, one bed, and Beauty and the Beast-inspired.

Story
Since my parents died when I was young, I've been bounced from foster home to foster home. Some have been great. Others… not so much. My social worker, Amanda, assures me that this new home will be my final one. New house. New school. New life. Surprisingly enough, my foster parents are wonderful and my foster siblings have quickly become the family I thought I lost. And I know I'll always have my best friend and secret crush, Grayson, by my side. But everything changes when I arrive at my new school and capture the attention of the most popular guys.

Story
She knows what it's like to walk out of a dangerous situation and straight into the unknown. That's what brings her to Shadow Security—only a case of mistaken identity leads her to accept a job that was never actually intended for her. Things look up when she catches the eye of one of the guys at work, but they take a downturn fast when she realizes he has no intention of staying faithful. Luckily, her handsome coworkers are there to help pick up the pieces, but everything compounds as the past catches up at the worst possible time.

Story
A penniless noblewoman, Kat is on the verge of losing everything when she's offered a well-paid job that could be her salvation… or her ruin. Drawn into court's deadly intrigues, she's given a single task: spy on the powerful fae lord known as the Night Queen's Shadow. Bastian Marwood is handsome, ruthless, and cunning, but Kat can't decide if he's a threat to her kingdom or just her heart. To uncover the truth, she must play a dangerous game of desire and deceit, pushing him to reveal his secrets while protecting her own.

Story
Murderer. Unhinged. Remorseless. Insane. I’ve been called it all while rotting away in a maximum security psych ward, imprisoned for my crimes. When I’m given a chance to escape this hell, it’s an offer I can’t refuse. I’m transferred to Blackwood Institute, purgatory for the dangerous and disturbed. The deal is simple. Complete the three-year experimental program and you’re free to leave. I have no such intentions. People like me; we’re born to die. There’s no life for me out there. I’ll do whatever it takes to end my pitiful existence.

Story
Tarnishing our family name by being a powerless angel… that's the legacy I'll leave behind. After years of failed placement tests, and with the time limit to find my magic breathing down my neck, I've come to accept my fate. When the clock ticks zero, I'll have my wings brutally ripped from my body and be cast down to live with the humans. Rejected, alone, and afraid. When a man from my past reappears, he tells me there's a different option… another life I could lead, at his side.

Story
"Friends are like condoms. They protect you when things get hard." That's what my five drool-worthy best-friends-turned-boyfriends-turned-fated said when we were younger. We lived by it. But I don't know if there's a condom out there that's strong enough to protect us from what's coming...pun intended. Five men? Yeah, it gets a little hectic around here. They're lucky I love them - because patience sure as hell isn't a virtue of mine. Add in natural disasters laying havoc to our world, and learning we have magic from the goddess Gaia.
