My name is Calla Lind. For 20 years, I have lived within the shadow of my beautiful older sister - chasing and holding onto an illusion of love. A love that will never belong to me... Now with this second chance of life, I won't chase after illusion. I won't rely on someone else for happiness. I will do what I want, enjoy what I do, and learn to let go. NOTE from the writer: I'm an amateur writer so please overlook plot holes, grammar issues, or anything else a story is supposed to have. This is my original story so... as the saying goes "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all".

Instead of being the renowned beauty that she really is, she must help her sister gain "The Lion" of the Highlands favor, even though the feat seems impossible, for every word and look coming from him shows just how feral the man really is. A deadly Highlander shouldn't be forced to marry-but that's exactly what's happening to Kane "The Lion" Shaw. With a new squire, a leper of a lady living in his keep, and his neighboring highlanders beginning to stir with unease, Kane has a lot on his plate. But a Highlander never surrenders...and ignores the odd feelings his squire stirs inside of him. When Saeran, posing as a squire, is forced to be around "The Lion", the roughest, meanest, most barbarian man she's ever met, she is sure her ruse is hanging by a thread. When he begins to suspect what she really is, she makes the most dangerous decision...and finds that this Highlanders touch makes it harder and harder to deny what is happening between them, even while danger wars around them.

Some bonds are chosen. Others are carved into your soul. Vivienne Minthe thought escaping Manna City meant reclaiming the quiet life she once knew but fate isn't done with her yet. After rescuing Blake Thorne, the dangerously alluring vampire she once knew as a boy, Vivienne is thrust back into a world of oaths, ancient powers, and enemies lurking in every shadow. Their bond is mysterious, forbidden, and stronger than she understands-pulls her closer to Blake even as her heart urges her to run. Home is no refuge. Her family abandons her, demons stalk the city, and Vivienne's childhood fears begin to awaken in terrifying, uncontrollable ways. As she struggles to uncover the truth behind her past, Vivienne must confront a rising darkness-and the seductive, unpredictable vampire tied to her by destiny. When an old female friend, Allison Devon, returns carrying secrets and scars, Vivienne becomes trapped between loyalty, love, and survival.
