"The fuck? Girl it's 2020 why hate?" "I know what year it is, I have my own calendar" I replied but she just gave me an eye roll. "Just...I just don't like that look of it, I don't know... I don't understand." I said, my voice barely a whisper. "Hmm..." She placed her hand on her chin and tapped her lips, "try and kiss me then?" "What?? I just said I don't like the look of two girls together, why would I kiss you?" I backed away a little. "Oh yeah- what about a hug instead?" she asked. "I don't like physical contact." "Please?" "No." "It's just one second!!" "A no is a no." She pouted and stomped her feet and I'm lying if I said she didn't looked cute. "fine. One second." I said, keeping my annoyed façade. "So... You say yes to my Hug?" I rolled my eyes, my lips failing to hide a smile. "I say yes to the hug." ----------------------------- Highest Ranking #1 in Girls (10/29/2020) #1 in gxg (7/31/2022) #1 in highschool (7/31/2022) #1 in girls (8/22/2022) #1 in slow burn (2/17/2023)

Mortals fear death. Immortals fear forever... When an army of mercenaries sweeps through a young girl's village and murders her parents, her life is set on a new course. After that she didn't have space to believe in anything other than becoming a weapon and cheating death with her closest companions. But an immortal, a goddess, a Valkyrie... changes everything. The stoic guardian watches over Tayah Ashrive now. But cracks start appearing past the cool, immortal demeanour and Tayah realises she may be the only soul to ever get close enough to see her truly. Their meeting will shape the destiny of both their futures-if they survive each other and dangerous growing feelings between them.

I'm nothing special. I'm nobody. I don't stand out. Well... I didn't stand out before, now my face is plastered all over the news. I never used to be something special, now I'm a wanted fugitive. I used to be nobody, now every soldier knows my name, my face, my crimes. Where did I go wrong? I'm sitting in a cold interrogation room. I keep telling myself this is the right thing to do, that I made the right decision, that this will help Vicki and Nick. All of my friends back home. Is it?

Ainsley is a dragonblood princess, powerful but constantly restrained by her duties and her oppressive father, the king of Ellay. When a pirate crew makes a shaky truce with the king and asks for a guarantee of their safe travels around his country, he offers up Ainsley as an unwilling hostage and a show of good faith on his part. Ainsley suddenly finds herself powerless and trapped on a pirate ship, but the crew is nothing like what she expects, and neither is the lady captain, Gael, who defies every expectation and leaves Ainsley curious and unsure of where her loyalties lie. She tries her best to hate Gael and the pirates, but slowly, they're winning her over, and she must face the awful truth: to follow her heart will bring about catastrophic consequences, and she will need to be prepared to fight fire with fire.
