~Wattys 2025 Winner~ BLOODLINES: THE BLOOD WITCH Book One of the Bloodlines Trilogy When Morgan Doran inherits her family's ancestral estate, she expects dust, secrets, and maybe a little madness-not a haunting, a legacy of forbidden power, and a warlock sworn to kill her. But Callum Rook isn't just any warlock. Bound by blood and prophecy, he arrives at the castle with a mission-to stop the rise of the last Blood Witch. Yet Morgan is nothing like the monster he was raised to fear. She is human. Fierce. Magnetic. And when he chooses love over legacy, everything unravels. As Morgan's powers awaken, ancient forces rise to claim her. Her bloodline carries not only the power to destroy, but the memory of betrayal, sacrifice, and a curse that spans generations. The deeper she falls for Callum, the more dangerous their love becomes. With enemies closing in and her destiny hurtling toward a tragic end, Morgan must decide: will she accept her fate, or rewrite it in fire and blood? Darkly romantic, chillingly magical, and emotionally devastating-Bloodline: The Blood Witch is a gothic fantasy of love, power, and the price of defying prophecy.

Decades ago there were Hunters, people who inherited an ancient power gifted by the gods and who protected the world from the nightmarish creatures known as Reapers. But when the Anarchy Wars tore through the world creating fear and desperation, the world turned against Hunters and, one by one, their powers disappeared. Until now. Kaya Nebrae has been born with a Legacy, the same power Hunters once wielded. But while Reapers still stalk the streets, Kaya has no intention of using her power to fight them. She doesn't want to protect the world, and she certainly doesn't want the world to know she exists. So Kaya has carved a different life for herself, keeping her head down and her knives sharp, but when one of her jobs goes wrong Kaya will be thrown onto a new path, one that will force her to confront her fate - and the growing shadow that stalks her. ****complete

Lorcan Equinox never expects a human woman to awaken the dark, carnal desire he's suppressed for decades--until she defies the very curse that made him untouchable. Season 1 of Fae's Curse *** Amberly Reed was supposed to die the moment she touched the Fae lord. Now, whisked away to his manor in the Faelands, she struggles to thrive in a world where mortals are unwelcome. Her only power here is her seemingly intoxicating effect on Lorcan, who--as much as he clashes and bickers with her--can't seem to stay away. Even so, any relationship between them is forbidden, and could spell certain death for Amberly if it's discovered. But when she learns that Lorcan's curse is slowly killing him, she must discern what her growing feelings mean, and decide if she's willing to risk everything to save him. *** ❝You didn't see it, but every male in that room was eyeing you up.

I swallow - hard. ❝I wanted to tear off that damned dress and take you right there, to show every leering bastard❞--he begins to move faster--❝that you aren't theirs to take.❞

Lowborn. Powerless. Forgotten. Nysera was never meant to matter-just another life swallowed by the Veil, another body worn thin by hunger, survival, and silence. In a world where the poor are trapped "for their own protection" and the gods have long since turned their gaze away, she has learned to endure, to give pieces of herself just to live another day. Until her blood awakens something ancient... and forbidden. Taken from the only life she has ever known and forced into a war she never chose, Nysera finds herself caught between powers far greater than she understands-whispers of fallen stars, silent gods, and a truth buried deep within her very existence. The more they try to uncover what she is, the more dangerous she becomes. And then there is Kaelorn. A general carved from power and restraint, a man whose presence bends the air itself, whose gaze lingers just a moment too long-like he sees something in her no one else can. He is not a man she should trust. Not a man she should want. But something in her blood calls to him. In a world of gods, monsters, and ruthless rule, Nysera will have to decide who she is willing to become... and what she is willing to lose. Because some truths are not meant to be found. And some bonds were never meant to exist. ✨Updates two chapters every Monday&Friday✨

You will learn to be mine. ➿⭐︎➿⭐︎➿ "Does that feel good?" I whimpered against him, burying my face in his neck. He smiled down at me while quietly torturing me, being effortlessly sadistic as his smile widened. "It's... too sensitive." "There's no such thing, baby girl." I tightened on him, squeezing my eyes shut. "I'm gonna...." "You're not coming unless you ask nicely." "Please." "Beg. Beg like you've never begged before." ➿⭐︎➿⭐︎➿ Clara Song never thought she'd be stuck in this position before... going to her college classes one moment, and then locked in a house abandoned in the woods the next. Being haunted... by HIM. He was in the shadows, his eyes glowing a dark red, watching her... playing with her. She begged him to let her leave, but his obsession only grew. Like yin and yang, innocent Clara was fated to the darkest creature out there... the creature of death. Damian Blackwood.
