*completed NOW A PUBLISHED NOVEL!* An ancient Cursed bloodline, a world-crossed romance, tyrant kings, a princess with dragon wings, a forbidden love affair, and a sorcerer meant to reign in chaos... this is the Redemption Saga. Bride of Alvar What if your entire life your mother declared you're destined to wed a king from a magical world? Would you believe her? Probably not. I didn't believe her either, until a handsome, other-worldly king showed up to claim me as his bride. Despite my annoying attraction to him, I let the magical king know about a complication: I'm already engaged to somebody else. However, when monsters from Alvar's world kidnap my best friend, I find myself whisked away to his realm marrying him anyway. But marrying a man I barely know and adapting to a fantastical new world is nothing compared to learning just how many dark secrets my new husband hides and that the fates of both my world and Alvar's rest on MY shoulders.

{WATTY'S 2020 WINNER & EDITOR'S PICK.} Hopeless romantic and aspiring writer Mare Atwood has fallen madly in love with her childhood correspondent. There's only one catch-she doesn't know who he is. When the beaus of Star's Crossing return from boarding school to begin the courting season, Mare is determined to uncover the identity of her writer, flout her family's intentions of orchestrating an advantageous marriage, and procure the life of writing and romance she's always sought. But as in the tales she so adores, it won't be easy. Galas, masquerades, picnics, and hunts-alongside an old friend, a former teacher, and an unlikely ally, Mare delves into an investigation that leaves her torn between three clever, deceptive, and wealthy young bachelors. If Mare can confirm which is her writer and claim his hand before the courting season ends, she'll have her wish: the love of her life, a valuable marriage, and a future of writing romance. But with the eyes of Star's Crossing upon her, a business plot forcing invisible hands, and the unwillingness of her writer to come forward-Mare's future may not end in triumph, but tragedy. Set against the gilded Victorian backdrop of coastal Connecticut and lush with pre-war luxury, fans of Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, and Louisa May Alcott are sure to enjoy this lighthearted, lyrical novel of young love, independence, and identity. #1 Literary #1 YA Romance #1 Victorian #1 Lyrical #8 General Fiction

People all say that Archangel is as safe as can be. You can ask anybody around. They'll tell you as much. That sleepy logging town is the kind of place where people spend their summers grilling down by the lake, and where they know their neighbor's name. Heck, just walk down any road in town and see how many folks wave to you as they drive past. You'd probably even get the same treatment from the guards down at the TARN Defense Industries labs. Just mind that you don't get too close to the gate. Oh, and try not to listen too closely to any sounds coming from the other side of the fence. With Archangel being the kind of small town that it is, no one knew how to make heads or tails of the Novak boy going missing. The Sheriff-being mostly TARN's Sheriff-blamed some kind of cult for the crime, on account of all the blood and the symbols carved into the trees where they found the kid's truck. Some people bought it. Some, but not all. See, people have questions-especially people like Brandon Jones. His sister, Amanda, went missing back in '99, and from what people around town are saying, he's got an itch to prove that those TARN people had something to do with whatever happened to both Amanda, and Thomas. Archangel being what it is, he might have a shot at it. But then again, he might not.

A story of how a possessive alpha man meets an innocent girl. Noor, an ordinary girl on an ordinary journey? Think again. From the tender age of three months, fate cruelly placed her in the unwilling hands of her uncle, as her parents were abruptly taken away from her. What unfolds is a heart-wrenching tale of resilience and survival against all odds. As Noor blossoms into an extraordinary beauty, her own flesh and blood sees an opportunity to exploit her, attempting to sell her off to the highest bidder. Trapped in a world of darkness, she becomes a victim of unspeakable abuse-both mentally and physically. Her existence becomes a relentless cycle of torment, reduced to a life worse than that of a mere servant. Yet, amidst the abyss of despair, a flicker of hope ignites within Noor's heart. She clings to the unwavering belief in a higher power, longing for a day when she will break free from the clutches of her harrowing fate. And then, an unexpected encounter changes everything. Enter Zaviyaar, a stark contrast to everything Noor had dared to hope for after a lifetime of helplessness. He is an obnoxious, affluent brat, seemingly untouched by the world's cruelty. And she, an innocent soul scarred by its relentless brutality. Is this the juncture where Noor's true story commences, painted with hues of resilience, redemption, and the pursuit of a brighter future?
