With a cruel ranking system, only favored concubines had the honor of meeting with His Majesty. And only the woman able to bear him a child could become empress. Raine Stjorme had climbed the ranks to the top. And after praying each night, she was finally with child. Yet all this was rewarded with the cruelest of fates. Murdered by the man she loved, Raine cursed Emperor Sylvos with her dying breath. She cursed his whole court as they snickered at her final moments. And her curse had taken root. Now, Raine awakens three years before her destined death, on the fateful day she first encounters the emperor. Armed with this second chance, she vows to make him fall - and to bring his empire down with him. But when faced with the tyrant who claimed her heart, could she still follow through? ✦✦✦ 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙋𝙀𝙎 𝙄𝙉𝘾𝙇𝙐𝘿𝙀𝘿: -𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨 -𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 -𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙭𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙮 -𝘼𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚 -𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 -𝙑𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡 -𝘽𝙖𝙙𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙁𝙈𝘾 -𝙈𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨

An incredibly shy librarian who finds it almost impossible to talk with people unless it's about books. A dominant who comes into the library and is captivated by the shy woman behind the circulation desk. The minute she says Yes, Sir to him, he knows she's his. He just needs to convince her of that.

After many years of trying...and the pain of loss, I was finally pregnant. The night my sister got married, my husband drunkenly confessed to me that he had been in love with my sister for two years. I divorced him without talking to him. Now, two years later, I'm ready to listen.

We were friends with benefits. Reed would stop by every time he was in Anchorage, and that was the extent of things, although I started to want more. Then he ended our arrangement, and I suspected there was another woman, but it wasn't until I overheard a conversation that I understood completely. He thought I was calling and texting because I couldn't take no for an answer. That wasn't my problem at all. Two blue lines were.

❝ YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE DEAD, DEMON. ❞ ANNIKA GRAY WAS just a eighteen year old girl who attended the academy, the one started by the fallen angels, made just for supernatural beings. There was only one problem: she didn't have any ties to the angels. She was found by one when she was a child and was then raised as one of their own even though she showed no signs of power. Her father and mother, Ozul and Adrienne, allowed her to train with all the other young monsters and descendants of the Fallen in hopes of her starting to fit in. She did however manage her way through the years and soon became one of the best students in the school and was on her way to graduate this year. That was until there was a threat against the Fallen that came from a place no one dared to enter. There was one soul angel who tore away from the group all those years ago as he became more and more power hungry, so he formed his own group. Those were the actual demons and HEATH SALLOW was one of the worst and Annika swore that she would destroy him whatever it took. ( original story ) ( ongoing ) ( cover by @tiishas )

Eyes on your girl. ✷ In her final year of university, Blaire Kwan is determined to get everything right. Which includes cutting out all distractions - such as dating - to achieve the perfect scores and manufacture the perfect cheerleading team to claim the first gold trophy to in the Hartell Heartbreakers' history of constant defeat. That is, until her best friend's brother, golden boy pro-footballer Alex Halstead, moves to the city on loan to A.F.C. Greenwich, threatening to unravel everything. With his charming quips, that devastatingly gorgeous grin, and his uncanny ability to find the chinks in her perfect armour, Alex is someone Blaire is determined to avoid at all costs. But in the long months that make up her stressful year, he seems to be the only one who is able to handle her obsessive and intense nature. And that makes him all the more dangerous. Because self control is all Blaire has. And Alex can't seem to stop testing her. © taryn SPORTS ROMANCE ╱ AFC GREENWICH #1.
