Description

Nothing will stop Lis from regaining her family's power—not even the three tempting men standing in her way.

In the desert port of Cenefra, the Sun Rose is life blood. A magic plant with the ability to grant people greater abilities. Sale of the plant is strictly forbidden, its growth restricted only to farms owned by the Empire's shipping company.

Liseya Moroeste has only ever wanted one thing: to run the syndicate smuggling it. But her family has been cut off for over a century, forced to advise but never lead. When the government cracks down on all illegal export, Lis is ready to seize her chance.

To do so, she must best her three rivals. Filip, Deo and Adrian each want to court her, control her, cajole her into doing what they want.

Liseya finds herself drawn into their complicated web, but to survive, she must learn if she can trust them, or if she must cut them down before they can do the same to her.

The Desert Heiress is the first book in The Seven Star Empire Series. It is a slow burn, MMMF why choose, second world fantasy with steamy scenes and a guaranteed HEA at the end of the series. It contains both MM and FF scenes, and involves the FMC in a relationship before getting involved with her main love interests.

Lis is the young heir to a smuggling empire. In a world where a desert planet can be harvested and distilled into a drug to enhance your abilities, her grandfather leads all aspects of smuggling the drug out of the city and across the sea to the continent. One day Lis gets a prediction from a priestess that she’ll be the center of a storm. Union her grandfathers death Lis struggles to confirm her power and earn the respect of her partners: Adrian, Deo, & Filip. Amongst government corruption and power struggles, she must persevere to maintain authority in the face of falling for the three men she doesn’t trust.

The book started a little slow but quickly became engrossing. A well laid out world, the story sets the scene for an epic adventure moving forward into the rest of the series.
