Betrayal and death destroy the love of two unrelated people. Healing is needed before either could ever risk love again. It's 2010, the summer that Spain's soccer team competes in the World Cup. Makena Nielsen heads to France to escape her adulterous ex-fiance, beginning a six-week hike west to Spain's Atlantic coast. Jordan Everest starts an 800-mile journey at the Mediterranean, walking north across Spain, trying to recover from his depression over his wife's passing. Makena and Jordan follow spiritual "Caminos" (paths) toward the holy city of Santiago. Unsure of their futures, both hope to unburden some of their pain when they reach the legendary Iron Cross. Their two different treks intersect as if their two Caminos form another cross, each person unknown to the other. But both hope their quest helps them open their hearts to love once more.

I've been working on this story since 2023 in my original manuscript and hope to one day publish the final, extended version. I could see him grinning out of the corner of my eye. He was enjoying this far too much. "Just do not ever scare me like that again, Jasper," I fussed. He winced as I moved the cloth across his ribs. "Or what?" he toyed. I stopped and glared at him, stammering, trying to think of something clever. "I-I'll... I don't know, but I'll think of something." Before I knew it, Jasper had his arm around my waist and pulled me into the tub with a splash. "Jasper," I gasped. In a world where humans and orcs have been at war for centuries, 22-year-old Lady Brenna of Blackwater Hold is sent to the Northern Orruk Horde - an unheard-of act. Her father, King Corvus, pledged her to the chief, Jasper Bloodborne, to save his own life. Were these orcs the beasts her father taught her to fear? She soon learns how wrong she was - and that her time in the Northern Orruk Mountains will change everything she thought she knew about loyalty, courage, and desire. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story contains sexual content, mentions of SA, miscarriage, abortion, violence, and gore.

'Accidents happen'. That's what people say. Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others. Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.

An orphan girl makes a living for herself and her little sister, Uma, by pickpocketing off the streets of Manhattan, New York. However, her whole life flips upside down when a stranger knocks on her door one morning and tells her she isn't human-- she's Fae. ------------- He was not human. Definitely not from around here with his tailored suit and clean face and horrifyingly captivating accent. His voice, his eyes... I didn't listen to much folklore, but he would've fit the character of the Devil perfectly. As I stared at his grim, devastatingly handsome face, I couldn't help but wonder if this was my end. The Devil coming to repay the Girl of Many Deaths with one final death; hers. How fitting. I wonder if they'll call my death an accident or suicide. "Let's do this the easy way. You need to try and understand me for that to happen, though." The man's voice morphed into an unwanted caress, gliding over my bare skin and burrowing into my head. "I'm Draven, a Fae from a mirror realm known by our kind as Anukatria. I've come to take you back into the lands which birthed you." I instantly regained use of my mouth. "I'm sorry, what?" "You are Fae. A powerful one at that, might I add. The fire you set yesterday altered our nation to your presence, and I was sent with an offer to train you, from the High King himself. To protect you from further such... incidents." His eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "Should you choose to accept." ---------- ** INSPIRED BY STORIES OF SARAH J. MAAS **

Just as I feared, a loud voice filled the air, cutting through the silence that followed the collision. 'What the hell do you think you're doing?' Mario thundered, his voice filled with rage. My heart raced as I turned to face him, my cheeks burning with shame. 'I-I'm so sorry,' I stuttered, my voice was barely above a whisper. 'I didn't mean to...' 'You didn't mean to?' Mario let out a bitter and scornful laugh. He stepped forward, his eyes narrowed as he took in the dent on his car. 'Do you have any idea how much this car costs? You're going to pay for this, you pathetic loser.' He growled. He grabbed my bike and threw it to the ground, breaking the chain and bending the wheels. 'That's for starters,' he said, his face twisted with malice. 'You owe me ten thousand dollars, and you better have it by the end of the week, or else...' He left the threat hanging in the air, as he got into his car and drove away, leaving me in a state of shock and fear. I felt tears sting my eyes as I looked at my ruined bike. Was this it?
