But when Pong escapes from prison, he realizes that the world outside is no fairer than the one behind bars. The wealthy dine and dance under bright orb light, while the poor toil away in darkness. Worst of all, Pong’s prison tattoo marks him as a fugitive who can never be truly free. Nok, the prison warden’s perfect daughter, is bent on tracking Pong down and restoring her family’s good name. But as Nok hunts Pong through the alleys and canals of Chattana, she uncovers secrets that make her question the truths she has always held dear.

Emily Harlow is a professional organizer who helps people declutter their lives; she’s married to man who can’t drive past a yard sale without stopping. He’s filled their basement, attic, and garage with his finds. Like other professionals who make a living decluttering peoples’ lives, Emily has devised a set of ironclad rules. When working with couples, she makes clear that the client is only allowed to declutter his or her own stuff. That stipulation has kept Emily’s own marriage together these past few years. She’d love nothing better than to toss out all her husband’s crap. He says he’s a collector. Emily knows better—he’s a hoarder. The larger his “collection” becomes, the deeper the distance grows between Emily and the man she married. Luckily, Emily’s got two new clients to distract herself: an elderly widow whose husband left behind a storage unit she didn’t know existed, and a young wife whose husband won’t allow her stuff into their house. Emily’s initial meeting with the young wife takes a detour when, after too much wine, the women end up fantasizing about how much more pleasant life would be without their collecting spouses. But the next day Emily finds herself in a mess that might be too big for her to clean up. Careful what you wish for, the old adage says . . . now Emily might lose her freedom, her marriage . . . and possibly her life.

Antique dealer Lucy Brady is enamored with the past and spends her days surrounded by vintage goodies and historic baubles. But she never imagined she’d be staring down a living, breathing ancient Roman from her sofa. After inheriting a mysterious locket which comes with an ominous warning, she ignores age old superstition and inadvertently summons a dark and scarred warrior from the 4thcentury. When he demands freedom from her tyrannous bloodline, Lucy is certain she’s being pranked, and agrees—with one shocking condition—he becomes her sex slave for two whole weeks. “Although I cannot bring the dead to the living, I can bring the living to the dead.” Entrapped for seventeen hundred years, General Hadrian Marias longs for freedom and the chance to reunite with the reincarnated soul of his long-lost wife. But what he discovers upon being released into the modern world is Lucy—the lavender eyed descendant of the very Celtic witch who’d cursed him centuries before. He should hate her, but something about Lucy soothes his angry soul. So when she offers him the deal of many lifetimes, he can’t refuse. Hadrian and Lucy’s fierce attraction—and growing bond—puts them at risk of heartache as eras collide and an ancient curse comes to fruition… If you’re a fan of time travel, magic, cursed lovers, ancient heroes, and steamy romance, you’ll love To Wish Upon a Roman, the first book in the To Wish Upon an Ancient series.
