*Want a paperback copy? Go here: https://goo.gl/forms/lhJx5X63RTGG90T93 (The link is also on my profile)* Terrified of being sent off to marry a man who would only control her, Saeran Sinclair disguises her identity by posing as a male. 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.

Was published, but is now off the market--I'm sorry! Brianne is the opposite of her best friend, Kyla. Kyla is open-minded; Brianne is closed off, judgmental. Kyla is a hopeless romantic. Brianne? Not so much. So when Kyla shoves an apple into her face telling her to throw it across the cafeteria so she can find her future love, Brianne is anything but interested. And yet she throws the apple anyway. Who does the apple hit? Dannon Barone, the most popular boy in school. Though he's seemingly sweet and all-smiles, Brianne dislikes him. She thinks he's a fake, a fraud, someone who is just charming the crowds in order to gain popularity. But Brianne is about to learn that stereotypes are not true, and that she's been too quick to judge those around her. Brianne Nichols' life is about to change forever. And what does she have to thank for it? A bruised piece of fruit. Who would have known that a stupid apple could be right? | technically not part of the summary | Okay, so I know the prenote says to find any errors you can. Just letting you know there's no point to that anymore because I've reedited it two more times after this one (extensively so), and already sent it in to be self-published. The only reason that the prenote is still up is because a fan made an amusing slideshow and if I edit anything then the tags for the wattys will be gone and I'll no longer be entered , hahah!

When one hears the word Immortal, you automatically assume that they never die. That's not entirely true. You see, the word is used so loosely nowadays that everyone just assumes that immortality means to escape death - to cheat death. When in reality, they can die from being staked in the heart. Sometimes they die from being staked with wood from a sacred tree. Holy water; It either burns them - acting as a substitute for Sulfuric Acid - or it sets them on fire and they turn to ash within a matter of seconds. Consecrated grounds--Vampires cannot step foot on them, it's considered holy - virginal, and the dead (or rather undead) are tainted and unable to gain entrance without spontaneously combusting . Does one ever wonder if a "true Immortal" exists? What if he does exist? What if no stake could penetrate his skin, and what if the effects of holy water can't turn his undead, earthly body to ash. As far as decapitation goes... well, let's just say the owner of the weapon always lost their head. Undefeatable, unable to be killed, unable to be hurt. A true immortal walks the earth in search of the answers to the mysterious prophecy etched on the cave walls, and how to put an end to the curse he's rapidly spread around the world. Follow Caen Tomes as he sets about on a journey that will forever change his once human life, into a truly immortal one, and the world as you know it. A prophecy to be fulfilled, questions needing answers, an end to the curse that plagues him, and a fight to the death. Caen will never be the same again. Nor will the world.
