She had it all - riches, a college scholarship, a girlfriend - until her conservative, hyper-religious parents found out about the girlfriend and made her choose between conversion therapy and disownment. That was the end of her academic career. Three years later, she met a shy public reference librarian in a bookstore. He'd been waiting his whole life for her. Meanwhile, she was starting her whole life over. What ensued between the two was magic. Given that he was about to become her tutor in the magickal and erotic arts, that was only to be expected. But at what cost? The mysterious older man was all she could ever have wished for, but she might need to choose between her developing identity and the most profound love she had ever known. ════════════════════════════════════ "Magic and philosophy sandwiched in between some of the hottest scenes I've read in recent years... Loved it!" - Hannah Gonzalez, Reedsy Discovery "Love is brutal, bloody, and ecstatic in this passionate romance... BDSM afficionados will love it...

Just your typical love story. Boy finds girl attractive and interesting. Girl finds boy obnoxious and bothersome. Smart aleck spirit animal finds couple naïve and slow to catch on. Vision quest ensues with humorous antics, thrilling car chases, and romantic interludes. Boy goes to war. Girl becomes renown research scientist. Numerous unexpected twists. Yada, yada, yada. Fifteen years pass. They run into each other at Beyond Van Gogh exhibit, the beginning of many more starry, starry nights together? Maybe not all that typical. The narration by the Coyote is maybe not so typical. Laugh, cry, enjoy!

Featured on New Beginnings in Romance Picks Anthology at Romance Recognised in 6x Awards - What do you do when your heart pulls you in two different directions? Hi, my name is Olivia Meyer, and I'm a seventeen-year-old girl who has a little confession: falling for Freddie Hutchinson, the school's infamous 'bad boy,' was never part of the plan. I've always been perfectly fine with my low-key life. Books over parties? Check. Silence over drama? Double-check. Honestly, I'm just trying to survive high school with my best friend, Tom McKenzie, by my side since he's the only person who's ever really seen me. But then I got paired with Freddie for a class project. Freddie Hutchinson, with his leather jacket, sharp smirk, and reputation darker than my coffee order. We've never spoken a word to each other before now, but suddenly, I'm seeing sides of him no one else seems to notice. Like the kind-hearted boy hiding beneath the tough exterior. And now my carefully crafted world is starting to crack. Alicia James, the queen bee of high school politics, isn't happy about the Status Quo changing and Tom... well, let's just say he's acting weird. Like, jealous kind of weird. The worst part? I think I might actually like Freddie. Like, love him. You read it right: love him. But if I choose him, I could lose everything else I care about. So, what do I do? Follow my heart, or stick to the plan? Either way, I have a feeling my senior year is about to get way more complicated than ever. Wish me luck. XO Olivia Copyright © 2024 by Alina Bryne

What Amira doesn't know yet is that help is coming in the form of another gang leader . With much at stake, will it all be too much for an innocent girl to bear? ----------- "It's done. Pull the car around quick. She wouldn't just take the walk with me so I had to dose her with the chloroform. I have to carry her so just pull up to the front door." I didn't wait for a reply before ending the call and laying Amira's head back against the swing so I could stand. I leaned down to put her limp body over my shoulder. "I'm sorry my love, I do wish we could have done this the easier way.", I sigh as I pick her up and caress her luscious thighs. ----------- Rankings: 3rd in sadism as of 7/29/2024 4th in attemptedsuicide as of 9/3/2024 9th in torment as of 7/24/2024 4th in stolen as of 9/7/2024 13th in abusivecontent as of 11/5/24 24th in ganglove as of 7/29/2024 28th in gangwar as of 11/3/2024 48th in savior as of 11/9/2024

Something is afoot at Denbury Hall. Samuel Denyer, second son of the duke, can't believe his stepmother's new born son, is his father's child. When Samuel goes missing everyone thinks he is dead. To be woken, chained to the hull of a ship, bound for the slave market in Algiers, is to wake in hell. Samuel's only saviour is a green-eyed girl. A stray found in the woodland of Lytton House. She comes to him each night in his dreams, her whispered words, the only light in his tortured soul. Shay doesn't want to be a lady of the ton. Shay doesn't want to marry. She's a stray and would rather work with Jack, looking after Mrs. Picks' piglets. When Shay returns home from Saint Germaine's Finishing School in Paris, she begs her guardian to allow her to work in the Blue Maids Orphanage for Girls. He has a condition; she must attend the season and be open to marriage. Knocked over by a Bedouin man, with the face of an angel and irises belonging to the devil, Shay can barely breathe, as he stares into her vivid green eyes. Green eyes that have plagued him for three years. A damaged man, an orphan girl. Stolen souls that belong together.
