Four men. One scarred survivor. A prophecy that could reshape the realm. Nit's body is marked with the scars of a brutal past, but her will remains unbroken. Sold and claimed by two orc mercenaries, Vorgak the disciplined strategist and Rakgu the sharp-tongued rogue, Nit is thrust into a perilous journey she never wanted. Bound to their protection, she fights to navigate the uneasy alliance while keeping her own plans for freedom alive. But Nit's life is far from ordinary. Arion, the powerful and enigmatic elven prince, believes she is the key to an ancient prophecy, a destiny he cannot ignore no matter the cost. To him, Nit is not just a survivor but a potential savior, one he is determined to claim for his kingdom's salvation. Lurking in the shadows is Thallan, a deadly dragon shifter assassin with a single purpose: to find Nit and eliminate her. As his hunt closes in, Nit's every move becomes a gamble between life and death. With tensions rising, kingdoms on the brink of war, and desires pulling her in conflicting directions, Nit must confront the secrets buried in her scars and decide who to trust. Will she forge her own path in a world desperate to control her, or will the prophecy consume her entirely? The Mark of Dusk is a slow-burn fantasy romance teeming with fierce battles, simmering chemistry, and a heroine who defies fate at every turn. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Carissa Broadbent, this is a tale of survival, prophecy, and the dangerous power of love. When the dusk falls, will she rise? 🌙

HEIRS SERIES #1 ~Eres Academy~ Paige Bennet is a commoner, forever chased by her life's monsters. Wealth, comfort, and security aren't part of her world. But what she does have is intelligence, and that's what's earned her a scholarship to the world's most prestigious school for the Royal and the elite: Eres Academy. In an instant, she's thrust into a world vastly different from her own-a world that dazzles at first glance with sports cars, glimmering gowns, entitled rich kids, and spoiled royals. Amidst its glamour, Paige is confident in her smarts and certain that a group of wealthy, golden-bathed teenagers won't intimidate her. But soon one learns that all that glitters isn't gold, and even the rich have monsters of their own. Which no textbook could ever prepare her for. Blake Carlisle isn't someone to mess with. He's rich, he's handsome, he's elite. Oh and one more thing-he's a bully. Life experiences are said to shape us, in Blake's case, they've shaped him for the worse. Ever since his birth, he'd been at the top of life's food chain. Commoners are preyed by the wealthy, thus, in Eres, to him, they don't belong. And he makes sure they know it. This school year, he's planning to do the same. But things change when the commoner isn't like the others. She's a fighter. Yet no matter the fire in her eyes, she was just another commoner who would always remain beneathe him, he just needed to her remind her of her place. And in Eres, he wanted her gone. But what happens when a fierce rivalry turns into attraction? When the target lowers her guard, and the bully's heart turns soft? One thing's for sure: We'll all be damned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For only fire can melt even the purest of gold. And her flames are those he'd never thought to behold. _________________________ Highest Rankings. #2 teen fiction #1 Monarchy COMPLETED

A spin-off from the Rootbridge series. Callie's wolf is out of control and therapy isn't helping her understand the fragments of memories she has about her mother's murder. So, unable to stay at Rootbridge any longer, she decides to take matters into her own hands and sets out to discover the truth about what really happened to her parents and what really happened to her. But, she gets more than she bargained for when she encounters the beast of Shadow Valley - a creature said to be deadly, half-rabid, untameable. Vikas Gordstrum, first born son to the alphas of the Shadow Valley pack, killed his moon mate on her 21st birthday. Haunted by her death and abandoned by his pack, he has lived on his own for years until one night his half-rabid wolf catches a new scent - one that intrigues him, one that grounds him like no other ever has, one that he doesn't want to let get away. With new revelations turning Callie's world upside down and a betrayer amongst those that she trusts, it will not be easy for her to discover who killed her mother and abandoned her in the forest as a child - nor will it be easy for her to let Vikas walk away after all is said and done. He is not her fated mate. And she is not his. But there is a connection between them that neither could have predicted - but one that they both should have seen coming. Book one in the Midnight Wolves series. Check out the original series: The Rootbridge Pack 1. An Alpha's Alpha 2. An Alpha's Claim 3.

BOOK 1 OF THE SHARDBEARERS SERIES | She thought she was human. They knew she was anything but. Now the truth might destroy them all. Elliora has always known how to survive-growing up with a drunk for a father, guarding a heart cracked by betrayal, and burying the aching need to be wanted. But survival means nothing when the Veil rips open and demons come hunting for her blood. Rescued-and then imprisoned-by four dangerously beautiful strangers, Elliora finds herself trapped in a house that shifts like a living thing, with magic she doesn't understand surging in her veins. The men who saved her aren't human. They're fallen angels. And they're convinced she's something rare. Something powerful. Something worth dying for. But Elliora doesn't trust easily. Especially not the cold, commanding leader with secrets behind his eyes. Or the storm-eyed healer who won't let himself feel. Or the wildfire-tempered protector with too much rage. Or the charming flirt who touches her like she's made of light. As Elliora struggles to control a magic that answers to no one-and to resist the pull of the four broken souls around her-an ancient enemy begins to haunt her dreams. He knows what she is. And he'll stop at nothing to claim her. Even if it means tearing the world apart to do it. Darkly romantic, emotionally charged, and wickedly addictive, House of the Fallen is a slow-burn fantasy romance where one girl must choose between the past that broke her and the future that could save-or end-everything.

Life had a strange way of changing suddenly. It had a way of blind-siding a person, flipping their entire existence upside down, shipping them half-way across the world, and forcing changes that were beyond their control. At least, that was the way it was in a day in the life of Amelia Grayson. After one too many wrong choices in her short life, Amelia landed herself a long-term stay at the Academy of Submission, a place where she thought had no choice. It had become her new home, and with that new home had come a new set of fundamentals for life. Obedience. Respect. Pleasure. And above all else, trust. Who would be the one to teach her all of this? Christopher Alexander, the frustrating, irritating, handsome, and mystifying man that had selected her with a voice like honey and one simple sentence. "She is mine." Co-Written by Sissy921 (because she is literally my lifeline!)

Look at me!" He tugs me back into his arms, tightly embracing me. "I won't let you leave. You belong with me." ***** Eliana was content with her lifestyle, as her pack's slave. Horrible, but it was all she had ever known. There was nothing better to compare it to. Alpha Noah keeps his distance with everyone and although head of one of the strongest packs in the nation, his past haunts him. Things like love and friendships are unknown to him. Unimportant. She's hurt and so is he. What happens when mates with such different views on life and experiences, meet? Will a connection spark? Or will the fuse fail to light? And when the lurking past faces them again, what will they do? *** A puppy love kind of story that's full of passion, ig. Not your usual werewolf book.
