Thawed Gladiator: Draco (Awakened From the Ice Book 7)
From ancient Roman gutters to glittering Manhattan mansions…
Draco has always known how to survive. Once he relied on sleight of hand to steal his way through Rome’s slums—later he fought for his life in the arena. Now, after two thousand years frozen beneath the Norwegian Sea, he wakes in a world as strange as any illusion.
But the greatest danger he faces isn’t hunger, hardship, or discovery—it’s Charity Pembroke, the sheltered heiress who discovers him trespassing on her estate and offers sanctuary instead of calling the police. She embodies everything he’s been denied: safety, privilege, and a world untouched by blood and sand.
A woman ready to burn for him…
Charity has lived her life wrapped in silk and rules, but one look at the dangerous stranger hiding on her property and she’s ready to risk everything for a taste of freedom.
Draco sees past her polished exterior to the woman aching to break free, and suddenly her greatest fear isn’t scandal—it’s how fiercely she craves his touch.
When fire meets ice…
To survive, Draco hides in plain sight, transforming his old tricks into dazzling underground magic shows while stealing forbidden moments in the shadows with Charity. But when passion explodes into headlines, they’ll discover the most dangerous magic isn’t the illusions on stage—it’s the forbidden desire that casts a spell strong enough to consume them both.
Thawed Gladiator: Draco by USA TODAY Bestselling author Alana Khan delivers a darkly charming survivor, a daring heroine discovering her fire, and passion hot enough to turn ice into steam.
Her Wicker Guardian (Wicker Men Book 1)
I came to the bonfire to burn the last piece of a marriage I barely managed to escape.
I did not come to make another man.
But after too much wine, too much truth, and one joke about why so many women say they’d rather meet a bear than a man alone in the woods, my friends and I dismantle the wicker bear we’re building for the town festival. We decide to make ourselves a third option.
A man.
Broad shoulders. Strong hands. A chest woven from green willow.
It’s ridiculous.
Until they convince me to add something of my own: the ring I brought to throw into the fire.
Then I whisper a wish I’ve never said aloud to another living soul.
I press my palm to his chest.
His heart beats beneath my hand.
Now the man we made is alive.
He’s powerful enough to frighten half the town, gentle enough to make me question everything I thought I knew about strength, and somehow he heard every word we said while we were creating him.
Including the things women say when we think no men are listening.
Including the things I never wanted any man to know.
Especially my wish.
I wanted to feel safe again.
I never expected safety to look at me like I’m the only woman in the world.
And I definitely never expected people in town to decide a man like him shouldn’t exist.
Her Wicker Guardian is a high-heat contemporary monster romance featuring a woman who has sworn off men, a powerful living wicker hero with a mind and heart of his own, a small town with very strong opinions, and one wildly unconventional happily ever after.
Her Wicker Temptation (Wicker Men Book 2)
I asked for another great love. I didn’t expect the right man to be nothing like the man I thought I wanted.
Three years after my husband died, I’d somehow convinced myself that being sexless was a perfectly reasonable plan for the rest of my life.
When a younger colleague dies without warning, I realize I’m not ready to quit living.
So one night, armed with an old wicker basket and a spectacular lack of good judgment, I set fire to the granny panties I chose for my new celibate life and say the thing I haven’t been willing to admit I want.
I wish I could have what I had again.
What I get is Kell.
Warm living willow, broad shoulders, and a hunger for absolutely everything.
Kell attacks life like he intends to taste all of it. Music. Food. Art. Sex. He makes enormous abstract paintings, turns nearly every disagreement into foreplay, and looks at me with enough heat to make three years of celibacy feel like an exceptionally bad decision.
Having spectacular sex with him is the easy part.
The problem is what happens afterward.
Because Kell isn’t content to just be the exciting man in my bed. He builds a life of his own—work he loves, money he earns, friends who are his, a place that belongs to him—and he wants me in that life because, somewhere along the way, I stopped being an adventure and became the woman he chose.
When I try to keep what we have safely contained to the bedroom, Kell refuses to settle for half a relationship.
Now I have to decide whether the differences I keep calling incompatibility are actually the very things that make this love worth choosing.
Maybe I didn’t get what I had before.
Maybe I got another chance at something just as real… only different.
Her Wicker Temptation is a high-heat contemporary monster romance about a widowed heroine, a wildly creative living wicker hero, scorching chemistry, a second chance at great love, and discovering that the right relationship may look nothing like the one you thought you wanted.
Her Wicker Temptation (Wicker Men Book 2)
He gave her his word. In his culture, that’s a courtship vow. She has no idea the depth of the commitment he just made.
Tess
I’ve heard enough pretty words to know how little they can mean.
Then I meet Orvek.
Seven feet of HammerFall clan muscle, ivory tusks, maddening restraint, and a personal code that won’t let him reveal what isn’t his to tell.
He won’t give me the answers I want. He won’t tell me what I want to hear. And somehow, his silence feels safer than other people’s promises.
Then he looks me straight in the eye and makes me a promise of his own.
You have my word.
As a reporter, I spend my life listening for lies, but for some reason, I believe him.
So I tell him his word is good enough for me.
I have no idea what I’ve just accepted.
Orvek
Tess Avery has a voice made to be heard.
I’ve spent years learning when not to use mine.
That should make us a terrible match.
It doesn’t.
She’s sharp, fearless, and impossible to ignore. When she tells me she trusts my word, I believe she understands exactly what it means.
It’s only later that I find out she had no idea she’d accepted my bid to court her.
By then, I’m already far past wanting to take it back.
And every time another sharp question comes out of that clever mouth, I have to work a little harder to remember why restraint ever seemed like a virtue.
Some vows are meant to be kept. Some come with a seven-foot orc who believes you’ve agreed to his courtship… and plans to make sure you never regret saying yes.
Principled adversaries to lovers • Accidental orc courtship • He falls first • Size difference • Cultural miscommunication • Small-town romance • Explicit heat • Guaranteed HEA
Her Wicker Choice (Wicker Men Book 3)
I thought I wanted a man independent enough to walk away. I never dreamed how much I’d want him to stay.
I’ve built a life that works. A successful career. A house of my own. A cat who worships me when it’s convenient. No one to answer to, depend on, or lose.
Then Thanksgiving forces me to face one uncomfortable truth: maybe independence isn’t the same thing as enough.
So I make a wish.
I want someone to choose me, and I want to be brave enough to choose him back.
What I get is Senn.
Warm living willow, quiet confidence, and a man who looks at me like loving me is the first thing about this world he’s completely sure of.
The problem is, I don’t want him choosing me because he needs me.
So I watch as Senn builds a life that belongs to him. Friends. Purpose. Work he loves. Money he earns. A gift for finding what’s lost.
Everything I wanted for him.
Everything that makes it possible for him to leave.
Somewhere between Christmas lights and stolen kisses, I make a terrifying discovery.
I don’t just want Senn free enough to choose me.
I want him to choose me forever.
Her Wicker Choice is a high-heat contemporary monster romance featuring a fiercely independent divorce attorney, a completely smitten living wicker hero, small-town Christmas magic, scorching chemistry, found family, and two people with lives of their own who choose to build one together.
