Defiance Twilight

When 25-year-old Ruby trades her old life for a job aboard a luxury cruise ship, she expects adventure, not a battle of wills with her infuriatingly cold, impossibly handsome captain.

But as they sail across breathtaking destinations, their clashes spark something neither of them can ignore. Trapped at sea, with tension rising like the tides, will they resist or surrender to the storm brewing between them?

In a quiet, snowy mountain, two children, twilight fates entangled together, dreamed of becoming magicians in a far-off, glorious city. However, smooth road wasn't the one that was ahead of them.
