Summary: The forest is withering, and with it, the guardian goddess Inaria's hopes of survival. The loss of the goddess's emerald heart has doomed the Forest of Grenarion, if it cannot be retrieved. Aiyana, a brave fae woman, takes it upon herself to reclaim the heart. If Inaria and the forest are to live, the goddess's luminous heart must be returned to her sacred grove, and there it must stay. This is a deeply personal quest for Aiyana, as she and Inaria have a sapphic soul bond. Long has she avoided it in favour of village life, but now she can't dismiss the feeling that her future and her unclaimed love have been stolen away. Who, really, is this mysterious goddess whose erotic touch she is yet to feel? All she knows of her is devotional prayers and dreams of the nature goddess gazing back at her. Aiyana doesn't know who's stolen the heart, but every year poachers, thieves and bandit gangs grow more brazen. Her village has been attacked before and its small militia readies for the day it will happen again. A Luminous Heart is a story of adventure, magic, and steamy sapphic love. It features two women who will realise their destiny and fight for what matters most – their world and each other.

Summary: This book was originally published in the Fated Mates Anthology 2023. No additions or changes have been made to the original story. Rocky Anderson, high magic user and a Wielder of the Magic Sword, needed an anchor immediately. Stuck on the border of Poland, with no way to even read his magically encrypted messages on his phone, he was desperate enough to try using magic without the grounding presence an anchor would give him… and got soundly told off by a young homeless girl in the process. A young girl who had a brother, who was an anchor. For Neo Brecht, life was getting desperate. As an anchor, no one would give him work because he didn’t speak. But because he had anchor marks, no one else would give him any other work in case he was needed to anchor for a high magic user. Magical laws determined he couldn’t use the powers he had for personal gain, and yet without work, he had absolutely nothing at all. Until his sister returned with a mountain of a man bringing pastries and coffee… ah, coffee. Fated mates they might be, but Neo wasn’t going to let Rocky shirk his work. There was a vampire feasting on anchor blood and he wasn’t showing any signs of stopping. But Neo’s gut was warning him there was something off about the case, too. Was their happy ever after going to be cut short before it had even begun?

It’s the only thing left I can do. Determined to keep Rojan safe by any means possible, Petrov decides the only way to do that is to enter into a Marriage Contract with him.

While most of the books in my Another Arranged Marriage series can be read as standalones, readers will understand more about the motives of the secondary characters and main plot points if they have read The Infidelity Clause first.
