When you are fighting for the freedom of your people, falling in love with your enemy is not a great idea. Or is it? Ayla has to defend her castle and her people all on her own, with nobody to help her but a dark warrior she hates with all her heart.

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.

Four months is a long time. Not long enough, however, for Maya Rodriguez to escape the enigma that is Rocky Nelson. When the rock star swoops in one day to do some kidnapping of his own-- by claiming to be her "boyfriend," no less-- Maya's not sure it's a good idea to get re-involved after what happened the last time. You know, the k-word that never happened between the two of them? But despite how much she wants to, Maya can't run. Her brother is missing in action, Dawson is drawing nearer and nearer, and the pressure of being in the spotlight might cost her a lot more than her dignity-- it may put all of them in danger.

Ref's biggest problem is his ability to make girls cry. That is, besides the teeny, tiny, incident four years ago that people just can't forget. But he's cured--according to his therapist. When the principal can't find the person behind a new round of thieving and vandalism, Ref's name once again graces the top of the suspect list. He's going to have to catch the true culprit himself, if he wants to have any chance at a future free of an orange jumpsuit. This would be a really, really bad time to fall for a girl that throws his world into even more chaos. But maybe he can handle it, because Ref isn't just any guy. Ref is A Little Bit Pyro. ***Note: You may have spotted the similarity to the title of my first story, A Little Bit Ninja. *claps for you* That would be because this is a continuation of Ninja, even though it's told from a different character's perspective. You don't have to have read the first book to read this one. The people who have read Ninja will just have a head start on getting to know the characters and the background story....although I, as the author, would be happy if you did read both. Also, I won't put any spoilers in it until I'm done writing A Little Bit Ninja, so feel free to read both at the same time.♥***

"For once in my life I feet trapped." "Why do you think that?" "How can I not?" After the 'Mall' Incident the world starts to change rapidly. Witches, Vampires, Werewolves and other unnaturals are no longer a secret and are seen as a threat to human civilization. Emilia and her nine other siblings are trying to make the best of their new world. As the balance between darkness and light grows unsteady and the world begins to crumble, secrets are reveled and danger lurks among them.

Shawna Roberts is the girl that every guy turns to when they need a fake date, a fake girlfriend, a fake fling to make some other girl jealous, a fake couple photo to send to their parents... Shawna's pretty much seen it all. But no matter what they pay her for, everything she does has one common factor: it's all fake. That doesn't make being their paid girl much easier, though. Adam Ferrell is the campus heartthrob with the appearance of a god, an ego the size of Canada, and worshiped by everyone to monumentally ridiculous proportions. In Shawna's mind, it's a miracle his head fits through his shirt every morning. Yet despite their instant dislike for one another, Adam and Shawna each need what the other can offer. When Adam unexpectedly pushes into Shawna's life with a business deal, she's torn between her feelings and her sense of duty, which protects a secret she has kept for years, from even those closest to her. And as the two begrudgingly get to know each other, masks start slipping and secrets come spilling out, forcing each of them to confront some of their darkest moments and deepest fears.

Falling in love is hard to do when no one will even look at you, and those that do hurry to look away. Andrea is a seventeen year old girl who has always wished for a sense of belonging, but being only half native to her tribe sets her apart from everyone else. And the other townspeople of Wapatau seem to avoid her just as easily. But life is always easier with a good friend. Her best (and only) friend Kaida has always been her moral support, and Kaida’s older brother Konai has always been there to tear her back down. With only days left in school, and the Spring Equinox festival just around the corner, Andrea looks at her life like a glass half empty. Until a random series of events, and a dark and stormy night, change her life forever.
