Three djinn warriors. One power-hungry sorceress. The battle for good and evil has taken a whole new turn... From New York Times Bestselling Author Elisabeth Naughton, three stories of brotherhood, survival and unexpected love in a world filled with magic and betrayal. Bound to Seduction - Book One Careful what you wish for... Sentenced as a pleasure slave, Djinn Prince Tariq of the Marid tribe has no choice but to travel into the human realm and corrupt souls by granting wishes to the women who possess the Firebrand opal, a gemstone of magical power. When Mira Dawson summons him and requests he teach her how to pleasure others instead of ordering him to pleasure her though, duty and fantasy soon become a temptation even Tariq can't deny. The only question left is...will the pleasure be worth the price? Because as Tariq has learned the hard way, nothing...not even fantasies...are free. Slave to Passion - Book Two Kill them all... Enslaved by his enemies and forced to fight in the pits of Jahannam for their depraved entertainment, Nasir, the once-proud Marid warrior and heir to the djinn throne, has become a killer. One celebrated and feared all at the same time. Even he doesn't remember who he used to be, nor does he care anymore, until hope enters his cell in the form of an alluring woman full of secrets and mystery who may just be the key to his salvation. Possessed by Desire - Book Three Even desire comes at a price... Imprisonment has taught Ashur, the youngest djinn prince, one thing: life as a pleasure slave has its rewards...if you play by the rules. For a shot at revenge against the brothers who abandoned him, Ashur is willing to serve his master, even if it means using passion to corrupt the souls she needs to fuel her immortality. His first assignment, however, turns out to be more than just a woman in need of a little pleasure. Claire is an angel, and angels have the ability to steal djinn powers. No matter how much Ashur wants to see his brothers suffer, there's no way he's tangling with a celestial being. Unless, of course, she tangles with him first...

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Elisabeth Naughton comes three stories from her Eternal Guardians series..RavagedAri - Once an Eternal Guardian, now he's nothing but a rogue mercenary with one singular focus: revenge.His guardian brothers all think he's dead, but Ari is very much alive in the human realm, chipping away at Zeus's Sirens every chance he can, reveling in his brutality and anonymity. Until, that is, he abducts the wrong female and his identity is finally exposed. It will take more than the Eternal Guardians, more even than the gods to rein Ari in after everything he's done. It may just take the courage of one woman willing to stand up to a warrior who's become a savage.UnchainedPrometheus - One of the keenest Titans to ever walk the earth. Until, that is, his weakness for the human race resulted in his imprisonment. For thousands of years, Prometheus's only certainty was his daily torture at Zeus's hand. Now, unchained by the Eternal Guardians, he spends his days in solitude, trying to forget the past. He's vowed no allegiance in the war between mortal and immortal, but when a beautiful maiden seeks him out and begs for his help, he's once again powerless to say no. Soon, Prometheus is drawn into the very conflict he swore to avoid, and, to save the maiden's life, he must choose sides. But she has a secret of her own, and if Prometheus doesn't discover what she's hiding in time, the world won't simply find itself embroiled in a battle between good and evil, it will fall in total domination to Prometheus's greatest enemy.HuntedErebus - Dark in every sense of the word, a skilled and lethal warrior, and sinfully sexy by design.Since the dawn of modern man, Erebus was Hades' secret weapon in the war between the immortal realms. Until Hades lost the minor god in a bet to his older brother Zeus. For the last hundred years, Erebus has trained Zeus's Siren warriors in warfare and the sexual arts. But he's never stopped longing for freedom. For a life filled with choice. And lately, he also longs for one Siren who entranced him during their steamy seduction sessions. A nymph he quickly became obsessed with and who was ripped from his grasp when her seduction training was complete. One he's just learned Zeus has marked for death because she failed the last Siren test.Before Erebus can intercede on the nymph's behalf, she escapes Olympus and flees into the human realm. In a fit of rage, Zeus commands Erebus to hunt her down and kill her. Erebus sees his opportunity to finally go after what he wants, but he's torn. Freedom means nothing if the Siren at the center of his fantasies doesn't truly crave him back. Because defying the gods will unleash the fury of Olympus, and if he chooses her over his duty, whether she joins him in exile or not, the hunter will become the hunted.**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story.

I've been sent by both to deal with her, but one look at the feisty redhead and I've got plans of my own. Before I carry out anyone else's orders, she's going to give me what I want. And only when I'm satisfied will I decide if she lives or dies. Depending, of course, on just how easily she surrenders"--
