...and the Beast Books in Order

...and the Beast is a compact paranormal romance series from the authors' Moira Rogers years. These stories use the emotional shape of fairy tales, then add shapeshifters, curses, court politics, and adult romance.

The world has high lords, magical courts, wolves, witches, and strict ideas about status. That makes love difficult when it crosses a line that powerful people do not want crossed. The stories are shorter than the Southern Arcana novels, but they still make room for danger, betrayal, magic, and characters who have to fight against the roles assigned to them.

Sabine opens with a cruel spell. Ciar, the High Lord of the Forest, returns from war intending to claim Sabine as his mate, only to find that a curse has erased her from the memories of nearly everyone who knew her. Even Sabine's own family no longer recognizes her. As Ciar begins to lose his memories too, they have to break the spell before she disappears from his life completely.

Kisri and Iloria continue the series' interest in supernatural couples confronting enchantments, inherited power, and the difference between being desired and being truly chosen. The tone is romantic and sensual, but the characters face real consequences when magic is used to control, isolate, or reshape their lives.

These are fairy-tale romances for adult readers, with protective shapeshifters and strong heroines at the center. The stories are quick, high-heat, and focused on a single couple's immediate problem rather than a giant epic plot.

Start with Sabine. It introduces the setting's blend of courtly fantasy and paranormal romance, and the following books are best read in order for the widest sense of the world and its recurring concerns.
