[Featured by wattpad romance, teen fiction, young adult and psychologicalnovel] Joy Jones was a seventeen-year-old kind and optimistic girl working in her grandpa's flower shop, but she had a secret. She was suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and wanted nothing, but to die peacefully. That was until Logan Kellerman, a young man with suicidal tendencies came storming into her life and stole roses from her grandpa's flower shop.

Cover by @auroralust This book is available on Goodreads under this title Elora Reed has spent the majority of her life being beaten, abused and screamed at by the Wolves. In a world like hers, being human was a death wish. Maddox Lancaster, as the King of Northern Wolves, has never really found himself two many problems. The only issue? It had been five years and still no sign of his mate, along with the useless humans that he simply couldn't get rid of. After Elora is caught in a major accident and rushed to the hospital, what happens when the two find their lives are entwined in more ways than one? -------- I could feel my knees wobbling, a sign that I should probably go back into the unreasonably soft bed. I took one last fleeting glance before turning back around to head back to the bed. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw next, A man was in my bed, how I hadn't noticed it before was beyond me. He was lying face down, Thick, dark brown hair was sitting messily on top of his head, but I could tell that it was usually neat and styles. His face was perfect, a sharp jawline, plump pink lips that were opened slightly. His skin was tan, and his long frame was draped over the right side of the bed. Never before had I seen anyone that looked like him, And I was terrified. Long, sharp canines were poking out from the bag in between his lips. It was a werewolf, I could feel my heart beginning to speed up, I had shared a bed with a wolf. ------- 'One of the best werewolf books on wattpad. Loved the fresh, non-cliche storyline. I was hooked from beginning to end.' @zuzairah 'I lovee DA it is one of my all time favss' @xxttxxt 'DA is literally one of the best books, deserves to be published' @mafia_boss65 RANKINGS 3rd in Romance - 19/12/20 3rd in Werewolf - 17/12/20 2nd in Werewolf - 20/12/20 1st in Good - 20/12/20 1st in Alpha - 1/01/21 1st in King - 1/01/21

Silence and Honey I talked enough for both of us. He listened like he might never let go. Runerth Castellion was the boy with the sharpest eyes and the quietest heart. He didn't talk much-didn't smile much either. But he always showed up. For me. I had known him since we were twelve. Since I decided I was going to be his friend, whether he wanted one or not. I was the chatterbox play school teacher who sings songs about dinosaurs and glue sticks. He was the grumpy heir to a mafia empire no one talks about out loud and a CEO of a heritage company. We were never meant to fit but we did and we did not at the same time. All that until the fate tested us. Tested me. In a world where healing feels impossible, our bond became a refuge, a promise that no matter how dark the night, dawn was waiting. This is a story about the strength found in vulnerability, the power of a patient heart, and the beautiful, messy journey toward a love that saves.

Ava, a determined yet enigmatic young woman, harbors a painful past she keeps hidden. Her arrival at the Blackwood household brings an unexpected transformation: she quickly forms a strong bond with the children, who see her as a motherly figure, while gradually breaking through Ethan's guarded heart. As unexpected feelings begin to grow between them, Ethan is forced to confront the ghosts of his past and the weight of his family's expectations. Meanwhile, Ava battles her own insecurities, fearing that her role as the nanny will forever keep her on the sidelines of a love story she dares not imagine for herself. Secrets and inner turmoil threaten to unravel their fragile connection, but amidst the children's laughter, stolen moments of intimacy, and unspoken gestures of love, Ethan and Ava discover that healing is possible. Together, they realize that they can build a new future, even in the shadow of the scars left behind.
