Jewels of the Crown (After the Storm #4)

Emotionally unrecognisable to all who knew him before, Lawrence Gunvald is more than the king of wolves: he's a mate, a husband, a father, a dancer, and more than all of that, he is whole.

For five years, the Gunvald Estate has been filled with happiness and laughter – his and his family's. Mated life is the best it can be. His six children colour their home with their innocent exuberance, and Adam and Tiegan's two – soon to be three – are as close as extended family.

So when old friends in need come knocking, it brings the bittersweet past to the fore as well as a truth that remains hidden – one Lawrence had all but forgotten he knew.

Is Taylor compassionate enough to forgive him the crucial secret he kept, or does his compassion have limits after all?

And is his young and still-growing family strong enough to welcome a new arrival? One who will change the dynamic of their unit in intricate ways while paving a path into a future that looks far darker than the past five years.

This is the final story in the After the Storm novelette series.

(Publisher's note: After the Storm is a series of novelettes that take place at relevant points in the immediate months and years after Eye of the Storm. They concentrate on the healing our characters need to go through after everything that happened. They do not need to be read to understand the main story – they are additional reads for fans that also contain 'Easter eggs' for what is to come.)

About the Author

Dianna Hardy is an international bestselling author of (cross-genre) fantasy fiction, most notable for her dark paranormal fantasy and the raw, intense Eye of the Storm series. But her heart-warming Once Times Thrice series proves she thrives in the light as much as the dark. Whatever your poison, what she loves most is to bring you stories that are action-packed, fast-paced and not short of heat, with the focus on character development, relationship dynamics, and the plot. She writes full-length novels and short fiction.

Although quite active online, Dianna prefers the quiet company of nature and animals to the hustle and bustle of people. She loves anything paranormal (she doesn't really consider it "para"), organic food, walking barefoot, the smell of the woods after rain, and summer days. However, she is also sustained by coffee, chocolate and the occasional vodka.

Having graduated from Richmond Drama School (London) in '98, she spent the next few years in a multitude of jobs (both acting and non-acting), studying anything that fascinated her, searching her soul, and finally found her passion where it had always been: at the end of a pen.

She currently lives in South Hampshire (United Kingdom) with her fiancé and their daughter, where she writes full-time.
