[The rewritten version of Two Gangs and a Golden Girl] DO NOT ATTRACT ATTENTION UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THE CONSEQUENCES. Such is the law in Tygerwel, a town torn apart by a long history of bad blood. 19-year-old Amber Marigold can barely face the consequences of skipping breakfast, let alone attracting the interest of criminal organisations. Moving in with her cousin after the unanswered death of her parents, all she wants is a fresh start in a new town. And yet, the girl manages to waltz her way right into the middle of a dangerous rivalry between two young cyngs, leaders of their respective crime bloodlines. But when a bet on who could win her heart not only risks the safety of her family but raises questions about what truly happened to her parents, Amber must make a choice. Stay an ignorant pawn, keeping safe what she still has, or become a player and gamble it all for a glimmer of truth. . . . EXPLORE A WORLD OF CRIME YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. WHERE CRIMINALS ACT AS ROYALTY IN A DANGEROUS GAME OF BLOOD. "So, this is how the game is actually played, he realised. He finally understood now. It had never been a contest of strength or numbers. It was a contest of who had more to lose... and who had everything to gain." . . . [This is the rewritten and published version of Two Gangs and a Golden Girl. Ebook and paperback are available on Amazon. The hardcover is available on IngramSpark. I have decided to publish the book on Wattpad as well for those that cannot aford to buy it.]

(completed) She trusted her with everything-her secrets, her heart, and even her marriage. Delilah never thought betrayal could wear a familiar face. She and Elena have been best friends since they were seven. They've been through everything-school dances, breakups, heartbreak, college, adulthood. Elena was always there. Her constant. Her comfort. Her family. So when Destiny got married, there was no question who would stand by her side. Elena was her maid of honor, holding her bouquet with shaking hands and tearful eyes. What Delilah didn't know was that Elena had already slept with the groom. And she never stopped. For two years, Elena's been sharing her husband. And Delilah, completely unaware, confides in her like always-crying to her about how distant he's become, how cold his touch feels, how something just doesn't feel right. Elena listens patiently, holds her while she cries, and then goes back to the man Delilah calls hers. Every fear Delilah shares is another secret Elena carries straight into his arms. And to twist the knife even deeper, Elena spins her own fantasy. She gushes about a secret lover-a man who spoils her, buys her expensive gifts, and makes her feel like she's finally found the love she's always wanted. Delilah cheers her on. Laughs with her. Supports her. She never suspects the truth. She never thinks to look that close. Because who would ever suspect their best friend? This isn't just infidelity. This is heartbreak in disguise. And by the time Delilah learns the truth.. There may be nothing left of the life she built. "She calls it devotion, he calls it mistake, her friend calls it nothing but all three take. If the crime is shared and the truth is gone, who is the villain when everyone is wrong?"

A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.

CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REWRITES - CHAPTERS WILL REPUBLISH AS EDITS ARE FINISHED!!! -Apologies to those who have read through Chapter 18 where I previously published. Edits will include character development changes, so unfortunately, and I apologize again, you may have to reread for clarification. Plot line is very similar, I just decided to take a character's development through another stage that changes their dialogue and POV a bit. ((FAIR WARNING: I do not update regularly because life gets too crazy sometimes, but I do my best.)) Come dawn the war begins. By dusk, demise reigns. Fourteen kingdoms united by the two prophesied elementals against one man and the beasts of the underworld. As the war begins in the central continent on the southern border of Vandaria, guarded by the armies of the Fae and Andrastrian allies, Darius and Fauna search for someone who could turn the tides of war. Decisions will be hard, sacrifices will be made, and the prophecy will come true and the asking price paid. **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Unedited NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.
