Faith. Belief. Devotion. Those were all Savannah knew and believed in since she was a little girl. Stray from the path of righteousness, and you were held with contempt... until you confessed. Sinning was by far the worst thing you could do. It was atrocious, vile, unbecoming, and disgraceful in the name of God. To feel was one thing. To act upon? Punishable. It only took one, though. With a name that should have made her question more than his dark hair and deep blue eyes; she was already submerged-driven down deep until the truth shattered everything she had once known. Truth became lies. Faith became doubt. Nothing seemed what it was. Not even the man she had fallen for. And Savannah had become stuck in the middle. There are some spelling and grammar errors, I know (it's an unpublished version). Any comments or critiques are welcome. Though, any negative toward me, readers, or that are discriminate in any way, will be ignored and deleted.

Alex never expected to be caught up in the world of the elite, but when her voice catches the attention of Leonardo, the cold, ruthless CEO of Hotel Reccini, sparks fly. He's used to control especially in the bedroom but Alex isn't like the others. She's a challenge. A temptation he can't resist. The tension between them is palpable, thick with hate and desire. One night, after her performance, he drags her into the shadows. Their lips crash together with brutal force. There's no sweetness, no tenderness just anger and raw, desperate need. "You think you can challenge me?" he growls, pinning her against the wall. Alex smirks, her voice dripping with defiance. "I don't think it. I know it." The fight between them escalates, their bodies crashing together with ferocity. It's savage, desperate, a battle for dominance. But as they finally collapse in the aftermath, the silence is heavy, laced with the tension neither can escape. This is just the beginning of a war neither of them can afford to lose.

All her life Kiari had only known suffering, each day held new challenges until one day she finally gets a taste of freedom with one goal, Survive, and maybe fall in love on the way Beautiful Omega ©️2016 Chapter 1 excerpt: I walked into the room, the only place within the compound that was warm and filled with comfort. It was a wide space decorated with heavy drapes of deep blue covering the stone wall and woven carpets on the floor. Upholstered furniture shipped from afar sat around the room, with a large canopied bed being the centerpiece. Standing near the single large window overlooking the factory floor was Smith. My tormentor. My keeper. My father. He was bare-chested with his brown hair tousled as if he had just rolled out of bed. A hand was lazily poised on his hip, while muscles rippled beneath his tanned skin as he raised the cup of tea to his lips. He didn't spare me a glance.
