And you're mine." I peck his lips and he squeezes my neck in return. I can still feel the embers of his angry, lying just below the surface of his skin. "Always, jaan. It's a pleasure to be yours." His lips meet mine in a slow kiss which quickly turns into something passionate, neither of us willing to back down. I take his anger that he drowns into this kiss and show him my love in return. * Jeea Mehta has always lived in the shadow of her perfect older sister. But when a twist of fate forces her to marry Dhruv Singh Rathore-a wealthy, enigmatic man who was once promised to her sister-Jeea finds herself caught in a marriage she never wanted and a life she doesn't understand. But Dhruv is not an easy man to please. He's distant, ruthless, and heartbreakingly unattainable. And yet, beneath his icy exterior, Jeea glimpses something more-something that makes her heart betray her at every turn. As hidden truths unravel and undeniable chemistry ignites, Jeea finds herself caught in a dangerous game of love and resentment. Because while she was never meant to be his bride... she might just become something even more unexpected-his weakness. #1 in chicklit #1 in forcedrelationship

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

{Original Story} Vidya Khan is an anomaly. Her powers manifest when she's seventeen -- that's unnaturally late. Things get even weirder when Celestro, the enigmatic company responsible for all things super, offers her a spot on their elite hero team. Saving the world is complicated, and Vidya is struggling to keep up. The Marvels are not the same smiling, golden heroes they are in the media, and getting along with them is actually harder than fighting the villains. And as if that isn't bad enough, supers are turning up dead, and no one knows who to suspect... Because if Vidya has learned anything, it's that anyone can be the bad guy.

||2022 WATTYS WINNER|| A scholar boy who denies the existence of elemental magic. A hidden princess who can control all seven elements. A mystical quill capable of rewriting both of their destinies. In the realm of Rainier where magic should no longer exist, eighteen-year-old Sebastian d'Aximos, a nobody scholar from an insignificant fishing village, finds himself accused by the Salvera Crown for using forgotten elemental magic to murder his own mother. There exists one problem with the Crown's theory, however; magic resides only in the Scribal legends about the Authors of Old, a rare race of humans who controlled the seven elements by weaving elemental threads into storybooks called Monvertas. But the Monvertas are myths; they have never been real. Yet, when Sebastian's soul cries out to the hidden heir of Rainier's Crown, Astrid Salvera, his beliefs in logic and facts are challenged. Because Astrid controls the seven elements, and she and her mother have worked to release magic back to their kingdom since it had been stolen by the enemy lands of Soleita two decades previously. Together, Sebastian and Astrid must work to find a mystical, hidden artifact: the Black Quill. A tool used by the original Author to unlock the Monverta and release its magical secrets. A tool that could redeem the realms of their world and reinstate magic. Ancient myths, prophecies of saviours and villains, and deadly trials by elements awaken to meet both Sebastian and Astrid as they work to unveil the secrets hidden from Rainier and learn the dark truths of each other. **Book 2 OUT NOW!**

Ein vom Krieg durch Nachtwesen gespaltenes Reich, eine junge Frau die das Problem des ganzen zu sein scheint und ein erfahrener Ritter dem zu spät bewusst wird das der wahre Kampf im Leben einem anderen Ziel folgt als zu töten. Amelia wünscht sich nichts mehr als endlich aus ihrem Leben als Leibeigene Magd entkommen zu können. Doch hätte sie gewusst welche Folgen dieser Wunsch mit sich bringt, hätte sie ihn wohl auf der Stelle verworfen. Es war ein Gemetzel. Blut, Gedärme, Knochen lagen auf dem Boden wie Blätter im Herbst. Qualm der brennenden Häuser stach ihr in den Augen. Zähne aus vor geifer triefenden Mäulern schnappten an ihren Ohren vorbei, während ihr Herz aus dem Brustkorb zu springen drohte. Gewaltige Klauen von gelbäugigen Kreaturen geführt, drohten ihre Kehle zu durchtrennen.... Aus der Ferne rasselten Schwerter auf Klauen. Während Amelia ihre Augen schloss, bereit sich von dieser Welt loszusagen, durchbrach ein Silber leuchtendes Schwert den Brustkorb ihres Angreifers. ------------ Ja, es sind Rechtschreibfehler enthalten ;D

Beendet ✔️ Roxanas Leben ist ziemlich gewöhnlich. Ihre Eltern arbeiten viel und zusammen mit ihren Freundinnen Pam und Mo will sie eigentlich nur die Highschool überleben. Irgendwie. Allerdings wird ihre gewohnte Welt auf den Kopf gestellt, als sie eines Abends einem attraktiven Dieb hilft. Wie es das Schicksal will begegnen sich die beiden bald wieder und je tiefer Roxana in das Leben des Grünäugigen eintaucht, desto stärker wird ihr klar, dass es nicht nur gute Menschen auf dieser Welt gibt. Einige wollen nur eins: Deine Welt in Flammen sehen. -Textausschnitt- "... Aber du Nate, bist ein Kämpfer. Und ich verspreche dir, dass du nicht alleine gegen ihn antreten musst, denn ich bin bei dir. Immer.
