The Clash and the Heat
3 primary works
Book 1
Kiss the dark prince? Or kill him.
Prince Remy Toussaint of Dumonte is tall, broad-shouldered, and darkly handsome. He’s also sardonic and arrogant. When he was told he had to marry Queen Fleur of Islaigne, he said she was ugly.
That is not why she is going to kill him.
She’s above such a petty reason for revenge. No, there’s a plan. Once she puts it into motion, she’ll be able to escape and return to her home country and her throne. Remy’s death is a means to an end, unfortunate but necessary. On their wedding night, she’ll end him and fake her own death.
Except when the night comes, Remy doesn’t appear.
Fleur’s not pleased. Not only is this ruining her meticulous plan, but it’s offensive. How dare he not even try to deflower his new bride?
Rather than killing Remy, she finds herself negotiating with him. He offers her a deal. If she helps him topple his older brother and secure the throne for himself, he’ll help her get home.
She ought to kill Remy like she planned.
But she makes the deal instead. And it’s got nothing to do with his broad shoulders or his deep voice. Nothing at all.
This fantasy romance is for you if you like tough female leads, enemies with benefits, love triangles, duels to the death over women, court intrigue, pirates, angsty bed hopping, redemption arcs, and scenes in which male characters are regularly unbuttoning their shirts.
Book 2
The plan was always to kill Remy Toussaint.
The former dark prince is now the King of Dumonte and Queen Fleur of Islaigne’s husband. They’ve been in a dungeon cell together. They’ve escaped a sinking pirate ship. And—because Fleur had no other choice—they’ve consummated their marriage.
But when Guillame Dubois reappears after Fleur thought he’d abandoned her, he has a plan to get Fleur all of Remy’s power. She could start fires herself, and no uncle or carale or any man could hurt her. Ever again.
But taking Remy’s power will kill him.
It’s worth it. Fleur will do whatever it takes to get that magic.
It’s only that when Remy smiles, he looks so much younger and more vulnerable than he usually does. It’s only that Remy saves those smiles for Fleur. It’s only that…
It doesn’t matter.
She’ll kill him.
She will.
Book 3
Finally, Queen Fleur understands her purpose in life. Her power to douse the living flame can save the people of her home country of Islaigne.
But her husband King Remy can’t leave her in peace.
She tried to kill him, and now he’s coming for her. But their fight won’t be undertaken face to face. Instead, it will be the clash of armies. Musquets. Cannons. Swords. And magic, Remy’s against hers.
Everything between them has always been explosive.
This time, they might burn down everything.
