ATTENTION: This is the SECOND book of my Vampire's Pet series and cannot be read as a stand alone book. ~~~ I thought that my life had ended the day I got purchased by a blood thirsty monster. I thought that the rest of my life was going to be nothing but constant fear and suffering. But I couldn't have been more wrong. What I found was something much different. Something that I didn't even know I was looking for let alone wanted. What I found was a new beginning. A new beginning with the one I cared most for. ~~~ Cover by: @aculeasis

'I was falling. And he was going to catch me. I just knew he was.' For Megan Walden, life is all about perfection. She's the perfect friend, the perfect wife, the perfect office dogsbody, but what happens when she makes a decision that cracks the glass protecting her perfect little world? During a night-out in the shadow of her effervescent best friend, Megan meets Harper Cain and is instantly intrigued by the mysterious tattooed rocker-type with his trace of Bostonian accent and brooding darkness that lurks behind his smile. Knowing instinctively that she is playing with fire, and yet finding herself inexplicably drawn to the irresistible Harper, Megan embarks on a course that will destroy the foundations of her whole world and force her to question everything and everyone she has ever known. Plunging headlong into a nightmare she cannot stop, Megan realises too late that playing away with a mysterious stranger is the least of her worries. It's time for her perfect life to come to an end Will Harper catch her? Or will Megan be able to save herself?

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. ~ * ~ Survive. This is the only thing Cass has in mind for the coming months. And it’s not for herself, not really. Cassandra South-Kennedy is angry. At least that’s what most of the people around her believe. Between being locked up for becoming too powerful and discovering truths about herself and her heritage, it’s not like she doesn’t have a reason. After Peter Marks rescued her from Cold Creek, all she has on her mind is revenge. She can feel the end coming, at least the end of this chapter of her life. Only problem is, as she sets up the conclusion of her revenge plan, there’s the little matter of settling the deal she’s made with the rather unsavory Dark Ghost who has possessed her uncle. It’s a fine line Cass is preparing to walk but the final result, in her mind, is worth all the months of pain, sacrifice, and suffering she must endure and dish out in order to place her pieces correctly on the board to end the game that was started long before she was born. ~ * ~ Official Song: Seven Devils by Florence + The Machine

Make It Work. That’s what Cassandra South is trying to do. But making her life work turns out to be harder than she thought. All the same players are back as well as a few Cass has no plans for. Just as Cass thinks she’s found some even ground, it gets rocky again. Pasts come back to haunt several key characters while others are left dealing with the truth of the present. Things are changing and not always for the better. By the end, Cass is left with a big decision, sticking with the past she knows or moving on to the future her mother saw for her and all the complications it entails. All the while trying to remember that trust is not as hard as it seems. Official Song: Cold Water by Damien Rice (c) SCCourtney ~ * ~ Book Two in the Banish Me Saga

Last night I made the worst decision of my life, unbeknowest of the consequences. I can't change it. I can't take it back. That split second of doubt and uncertainty brought me where I am now. Alone. I have no idea what I'm doing. The power of seeing the future is something I never wanted and wish to give back. No one really knows how to help me except some ex-gypsy boy named...well, I don't know how to really pronounce it. And even then, I don't think he really knows what he's doing. He just pretends to it seems like. So here I am with a power I can't completely control and the boy I love on the other side, where I wanted to be. And I'll do whatever I have to to get there with him. But in order to do that, I have to learn things about myself and my family that I never wanted to. That I never imagined were true. But I'll do it if it means I can talk to him again. If it means I can be the person I want myself to be, the person my mother wanted me to be. ~ * ~ Natalie Abernathy has made her choice. Now she is forced to live with it. ~ * ~ Sequel to Life Lines

Georgiana Vertigo has lost something important. The boy she loved has turned into a Vampire and left her reeling and dealing with the mess he left behind. She tried to cope with his betrayal but no matter what she does, nothing works. To everyone else, she looks like she hit rock bottom and is finally clawing her way out. But only one person knows the truth, only one person knows what's going on inside her head. That she's faking it to the people that love her most. After the failed Blood Trial in Vampire Domain, Gee is left with a stronger bond to Michael. But she won't do anything about it even though they both want to. Nothing is physically in their way but Gee waits in vain, sacrificing one love for another which she is sure never to get back. As time drags on, she is left with the choice of moving on like everyone else, or staying as she is, a ghost of the girl she once used to be, the true embodiment of a Forsaken.

My mother always told me when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When someone knocks you down, you get right back up. You fight the good fight until you have nothing left. You fight with honor, you protect the ones you love, and if you just happen to die in the process, than you do so with dignity and grace. What my mother neglected to tell me during my studies was that you don't always get what you want, the outcome you think is coming doesn't always happen, and when the smoke clears, you're always going to be the last one standing. By the end of The Certainty, Georgiana Vertigo is left with nothing more than her life, something many people would be more than happy to have. However, Georgiana is left to her own devices in a strange city, alone and heartbroken with regular intense bouts of depression. In starting a new life with the Guild, Georgiana has everything she needs in order to move on with her life and keep her mind off the past. Only problem is, the past is never truly forgotten and no matter how hard you try to shake them, the feelings that go along with the memories don't just fade away. ~ * ~ Alright, chickens. You asked for it (some of you at least) and here it is...well...part of it. Like I've told a few of you, this is a work in progress. I add pieces to it when I think of them. The posting on this story will NOT be regular but thankfully for you, I have quite a bit of it done. I just haven't decided if the path I take it down is the right one. So. I hope you enjoy it and I will give you a forewarning that as the story progresses, it gets a bit more adult. For those of us just joining the party because they stumbled across it in the Paranormal category, there is a whole series of books you have to read until you get to this one. Go start with The Beginning. You can find it under "My Works" on my home page.

Will she be the same? Will she even be alive? More importantly, will she still love him? ~ * ~ Despair. A sea of waking moments and dreamless sleep. That’s where Cassandra South is.
