Spider

Aurelia T. Evans

Paranormal / Fantasy / Horror

Oh, what a tangled web she weaves... One moment, Elizabeth is the modest, religiously devout nanny who accidentally brings her four charges to a slightly inappropriate circus filled with all the things a phobic like her could ever fear. The next, she's sucked into the demonic world of Arcanium and transformed into Arcanium's newest oddity, the Spider. Her anxieties and phobias quickly attract the attention of the Creature, the gargoyle-like guardian of the haunted funhouse, who feeds on fear—and she offers a veritable feast from which he can relieve her, especially after she's been locked in a glass box with giant spiders crawling over her eight-limbed body all day. However, she also catches the eye of her jealous ex-lover, who helped make her into the scared, secretive woman she's become, a woman who wrapped herself in the piety of her childhood cult just to escape him. Between Arcanium and her own personal demons, Elizabeth has all...

Contortion

Aurelia T. Evans

Paranormal / Fantasy / Horror

Arcanium's getting a little more twisted... After one too many demons leave her for other women, Valorie, the circus contortionist, is thinking about quitting Arcanium. It's not that she hates performing, but she's been in Arcanium for almost twenty years. She's bored, feeling neglected and rejected, and there's nothing keeping her there anymore. Until ex-lover Bell, the fortune teller and owner of Arcanium, gives her the fire-eater—bound and gagged—as a present and a bribe to convince her to stay. John—cursed into Arcanium and heavily scarred from fires gone out of control—turns out to be an adequate distraction. He's almost sweet, in spite of the bad person he used to be—a decent enough pet willing to work his way to redemption in Valorie's collar and under her command. Valorie's just not sure whether he's enough. Especially when her former fiancé from twenty years ago stumbles upon the circus and discovers...

Ringmaster

Aurelia T. Evans

Paranormal / Fantasy / Horror

He's the master of the ring, but he cannot master her. Kitty has been part of Arcanium as Pretty Kitty the Bearded Lady for over fifteen years, taking care of the circus' inhabitants—both human and demon—when the curtains close. But she's kept a dark secret from the rest, one that she shares with the sadistic demon known only as the Ringmaster. Though it would be a stretch to call the arrangement he and Kitty share tender, the Ringmaster finds himself curiously drawn to the kind but dark heart of Arcanium. When Kitty convinces a long-time lover of hers from outside Arcanium to join the circus—Victor, a sweet, handsome, charming man in love with every square inch of hair on Kitty's body—the secret between Kitty and the Ringmaster not only risks coming to light, but the strange relationship itself threatens to crumble and throw Arcanium into chaos.

After her jealous boyfriend makes an angry, careless wish, Maya DeLuca finds herself trapped in a traveling demonic circus and at the mercy of a devious jinni, Bell Madoc.

But Maya's not even cursed because of her own wish, which means she still has three for Bell to grant. He may be fond of her—the passion they share is as hellfire hot as it is wrong—but that doesn't mean she's safe from his endlessly inventive, wicked imagination. He might twist her wishes at his whim for his own pleasure. Or he might just give her what she wants...which could be even worse.

Carousel

Aurelia T. Evans

Paranormal / Fantasy / Horror

These days, she's traveling in some unusual circles... Before her father can kick her out of the house, Caroline runs away to join the circus. She's far from the oddity or performer that Arcanium is known for, but the fortune teller grants her wish to become a part of his circus and assigns her to run the carousel. It's repetitive work and the quarters are cramped, but it's the perfect job while Caroline figures out what the hell she's going to do with her life. Then some of the creepy carousel mounts—the ones that look like tormented human men—start coming to life at night. At first she thinks they're just dreams, but she quickly discovers that Arcanium is no ordinary circus. Caroline must not only come to grips with the shady motivations and affections of her new colleagues, but also with the driven desire inside her for Riley and Colm—the men bound to the carousel to atone for their sins, who beg her to save them.

Funhouse

Funhouse

Aurelia T. Evans

Paranormal / Fantasy / Horror

What's wrong with a little harmless demonic circus fun? When Neve enters Arcanium, her six-month marriage is already on the rocks, in part because of her complete lack of interest in sex. However, after making a frustrated wish in front of the fortune teller, she seethes with sexual desire that calls the Arcanium strongman straight into her bed and pulls her into the circus and under its jinni owner's thumb. Neve is unprepared for the onslaught of lust coming at her from every side—from the sex demons that charge the circus with excruciating sexual tension to her exhibit in the haunted funhouse, where hands stroke her sensitized skin for hours on end without relief. What's worse, the jinni has more insidious plans for her in the secret Funhouse, private esoteric events where Arcanium can go as far as it wants. But after a lifetime of combating men's objectification of her, fighting to be seen as a person rather than as something to seduce, her...

Witch and werewolf, wicked and wild—what happens when a woman has to choose? As a werewolf and witch, Kelly belongs to neither pack nor coven, making her a perfect addition to the ragtag collection of dogs, humans and canine shapeshifters at the Chambers Dog Sanctuary. After recently being transformed against his will, Malcolm—one of the Sanctuary residents—wants nothing more than to shed his werewolf skin and return to his shapeshifter pack. Kelly tries to help him accept his new wolf nature, but then some of the shapeshifters discover Salvation, an organization that claims to cure magical hybrids. Kelly has long since made peace with lycanthropy, which tempers her volatile magic, but when Malcolm begs Kelly to accompany him for one last attempt to resume his old life, she agrees for his sake. Upon arriving at Salvation, however, the already shaky balance of her life becomes even more tenuous, forcing Kelly to decide which part of herself, wolf or witch, she loves—or fears—more.
