Trial of Thorns (Wicked Fae #1) by Stacey Trombley

SPFBO6

In a ruthless competition of blood and magic, attraction to the enemy may be the biggest weakness of all. I am Caelynn of the Shadow Court, banished to the human realm for killing a fae prince in my youth. But when I learn my homeland is in peril, I strike a bargain. The Trial of Thorns will decide a champion to save the realm from a terrible plague, and secure the winner fame and fortune. I could care less about the money or notoriety--I'm playing for freedom. If I win, I will earn a full pardon. And I intend to win. But I don’t account for Reveln being one of my opponents. We've got...history. And ten years later, he's even hotter than I remember. Oh, right, he also hates me. Only one of us can win, and Rev will do everything in his power to make sure I don’t make it out of the trials alive. Because ten years ago, I killed his brother. And Reveln never forgets. TRIAL OF THORNS is the first book in the WICKED FAE series, featuring kick-ass women, fated mates, and a slow burn, enemies to lovers romance. Readers of Holly Black's Cruel Prince, Sarah J Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses and Audrey Grey's Evermore Academy will love this book!

Sea of Treason (Pirate's Bluff #1) by Stacey Trombley

Whatever you do, don’t fall in love When Whitley winds up on the top of a pirate hit-list, she finds an unlikely savior. Bluff, a pirate who can transform his appearance to mimic anyone, sweeps her away and sneaks her onto his ship to avoid capture. But Bluff has his own reasons to ensure her safety and he has no intention of letting Whitley in on his secrets. Pirates and sirens alike are after the subject of the prophecy, and it’s only a matter of time until Whitley learns just how powerful she is. And just how much control she has over Bluff. Resisting fate is never easy. Resisting Whitley will be near-impossible. But if he fails, it could mean enslavement by sirens, or worse—by the girl he loves.
