ABOUT
In a heartbeat I’ve gone from strutting my stuff on the runway to being a runaway bride…and I’ve run straight into the arms of four sexy hockey players who are determined to rescue me from the big bad world.
I’m a high-flying career woman. I’m at the top of my game. I decide my price, and believe me, I know my worth. But when my fiancé and best friend do the dirty on me, I startle like a deer and take off at breakneck speed in my Westwood dress and vintage veil.
Which is where The Vipers come in. They find me planning my next move, hiding out and nursing my tattered emotions.
There’s sexy French player Eduardo Dubois, as charming as he is seductive. Brooding Dylan Sanders who has kinks and skills I’d never even thought of. And Ben and Theo Evans, Canadian brothers who have scars to be uncovered before there’s any undressing.
But can we shake the global interest in us? We’re all famous. We’re all big news. And we’re all together…as in really together. Everyone wants a piece of us when we just want a piece of each other.
The paparazzi are relentless, and gossip spreads like wildfire. Can we keep our cool? Can we keep our secrets? And will jealousy and deceit threaten to ruin everything on and off the ice?
Pre-order your copy today, and then dive into the other books in the series while you wait for release day. All books are fine as standalone reads though full of cameos from your favorite HOT ICE characters.

OUT NOW—Adorned in Ice by Kylie Wiggins (@PublishConquest @kywriteswords)
Fear was not for the weak but for the intelligent who knew they were up against an unpredictable foe.
Eliza Hawke, the ice-wielding Princess of Keruna, has been married off to Will, the earth-wielding Prince of Mineros. The cruel and unfeeling place that is Mineros cares about power over anything else. As Eliza's days of forced betrothal go by, Will leaves his mark with bruises and veiled threats. Yet, through Eliza's misery, she finds solace within the Princess of Mineros, Nissa.
Nissa, is a beam of light even on Eliza's darkest days. It is not until Will's coronation is almost in his grasp, Eliza and Nissa hatch a daring plan of escape. If the Prince is allowed control over the largest army in Catalina, then all will surely be lost.
As the two fight desperately to unite the kingdoms in their war against the Prince, a tale of danger and betrayal unfolds every step of the way.

Excerpt:
Fire crackled in the hearth to the left of Eliza’s reading chair. She sunk into the upholstered velvet as the flames danced in an array of oranges, reds, and yellows. The years of use had made it slightly rough. Lost within the pages of a book was all she could think of to distract herself from the war just outside the palace walls. The coarse pages of a tome beneath her fingertips usually quelled her worries in an instant, but in that moment, it did nothing to calm the anxiety roiling in her belly like the sea in a hurricane.
It was all too close for comfort.
She couldn’t help but think of the townspeople who hadn’t made it within the gates in time. Did they have somewhere to hide? Did they have any means of protection? Her father had kept the palace open for as long as possible, but was it enough?
Eliza closed her eyes as she remembered the unbridled terror she felt when she saw the enemy soldiers marching over the horizon. All of Catalina knew about the Poison Queen of Mineros. Those who became her enemy were wiped from the face of the earth within a few short weeks. And she was often in search of enemies simply for the sake of fighting.
In a way, Eliza pitied her. How awful did someone’s upbringing have to be if they found joy from war? She simply could not fathom how horrid it had to be inside her mind if needless slaughter was what brought her ultimate happiness.
Eliza stood, sliding her feet into her slippers lined with cushiony rabbit fur. The Princess hugged her arms around herself, feeling as though she should be in armor instead of a nightgown thinner than the parchment of her beloved books. She tugged at the bottom hem of her gown, the pesky thing insisting on riding up her thighs. Her body mirrored that of her mother’s. Where Queen Armina was blessed with a bosom that had Princes fawning over her at Eliza’s age, the Princess had been given a lower half that made dress fittings incredibly tedious.
As she made her way to bed, the floor shook beneath her feet. Gray dust fell from the ceiling and coated the many cheery, yellow decorations in her room. As she shook the layer of grime from her white hair, her lungs began to burn. In moments, her safespace had been reduced to a battle zone. Her father had warned her about the possibility of enemies infiltrating the castle.
His warning rang clear in her mind, “As my heir, I will never lie to you. The walls could be breached. If such happens, I trust you to keep your sister safe.”
Although she might’ve been young, Eliza was far from naive. She knew what she had to do. Her entire body shook as she shuffled to the door of her room. The once serene firelight emanating from the stone fireplace now reminded her of the fiery pits of the underworld. With a trembling hand, the cold iron of the arched handle bit into her palm like the tiny fangs of a snake. She pulled it open only slightly, heart pounding in her ears, as she listened for any sign of the enemy.
The clinking of armor inched closer by the second, so Eliza waited.
I have to get to Dina. I won't let them hurt her.
She felt as if she had waited for hours, her palm growing sweaty on the handle. Finally, two soldiers jogged past her door, their armor a sickly shade of green.
Eliza’s eyes rounded, her chest heaving with fear. As soon as they turned the corner out of sight, she made a break for it. The setting sun cascaded through frosted windows as she ran. Every few seconds her face was bathed in the fiery light of battle. As a child, she believed bad things only occurred when the sun fell and the moon had taken its place. She believed nightmares could only happen when she was sleeping.
This nightmare was all too real.
The Princess furiously pumped her arms as she sprinted toward her sister's room. Her feet slipped out of her shoes causing her to stumble. She squeezed her hands around the rough stone of the nearest door frame for support, taking only a second to catch her breath.
On any other day, their rooms never seemed so far apart. But as she willed herself back into motion, she couldn’t get there fast enough.
What if they’ve already found her?

Go, run, grab your copy!
ADORED BY THE ARCHDUKE is out today, it's book two in the popular and super hot Habsburg historical romance trilogy HAWK CASTLE
Joanna of Castile’s destiny will take her over land and sea to marry a man she has never met. Disaster right? Not when he turns out to be gorgeous, charming, and ambitious—and he drives her crazy with lust.
The year is 1496 and for Joanna, daughter of two of the most powerful monarchs in Europe, life is changing forever. She must swap Spain for Flanders, leave her family behind and do her duty and marry astutely.
And that means saying ‘I do’ to the Archduke of Austria, Philip the Handsome, who rules the Low Countries with skill despite his young age.
The moment their eyes meet, lightning strikes and powerful passions erupt. A joining like no other, a match made in heaven. Joanna basks in her good fortune and in her husband’s seductive attentions.
As son of the Holy Roman Emperor, Philip enjoys the finer things in life. And when Joanna arrives at his home he believes God has truly favored him. She’s exquisite, intelligent and regal and creates a strong alliance between the Habsburgs and Spain.
But soon the world intrudes on their marital bliss—kings wage war, queens demand inquisitions, and heirs pass on their crowns.
Will Joanna be able to defend her state of mind? And will Philip ever be the true King of Castile? More importantly, can Philip and Joanna’s love survive the turbulence of a medieval world that shifts and dodges through creeping shadows?
