In a world ruled by evil, humanity clings to survival under the watchful eyes of the Legion. Among their ranks is Varek, a ruthless and cunning man whose ambition has carried him to the pinnacle of power. After his predecessor earns His Majesty's disfavor, Varek is named regional commander and takes his place at the Parthenon, the Legion's main headquarters. During his inauguration gala, he meets a woman unlike any he has ever known. Princess Velrissa Drakthar was sent by her father not to celebrate, but to manipulate the new commander into servitude - or destroy him if he refuses. The dance they share is electric, but when Varek uncovers her true purpose, he does the unthinkable: instead of killing her, he takes her captive. Locked in a gilded cage within the Parthenon, Princess Velrissa is surrounded by luxury, yet stripped of freedom. She quickly discovers that Commander Varek is no ordinary mortal, and the longer she spends in his company, the more her hatred turns into a dangerous fascination... ### Set in a post-apocalyptic world where technology is gone, this story has a strong medieval feel.

❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book.

*Completed* My name is Silver Jones, or at least it is now. I have been hiding in the witness protection program since I was a kid. I knew the rules. Stay quiet, stay invisible. If no one notices me, the less likely he will find me. But everything changes when I get to the small town of Hopesprings, Colorado. The town wasn't on a single map, so I guess my handlers thought it was the perfect place to hide. Everything goes unnoticed there, but that was until I learned the town's hidden secret. It wasn't on the map because it was built for the witness protection. This gave a whole new meaning to hiding in plain sight. I'm not the only one being hunted down. The government decided to round us all up and place us together. It almost seems like they wanted a bright red target on our heads. Now it is easier to be found. I know he's coming for me, but the question remains. Who will he bring with him? What happens when the town where everyone's hiding is found by their worst nightmares? ***** This book is selected as mature because of the violence depicted and the language used. Although it does depict much blood, it isn't overly described. If at any point, the graphics are too much, stop reading and message me about it. This novel does have spelling and grammar mistakes. This story is the first book I have ever uploaded to this site, and for those of you brave enough to read it, I applaud you. It really is horrible, like seriously bad. There are many plot holes and mistakes, so read at your own risk! This story has not been edited. All Rights reserved to me. Characters are my own.
