Siena can heal wounds with a touch of her hands. A captive since birth, she is used as a tool of war by a Plainsmen tribe. A chance escape into the forest proves successful... and deadly. Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die. The choice seems obvious to Siena, but living with the repercussions of that choice is another matter altogether. A journey of self-discovery, a bit of adventure, and a splash of romance. On the Wattys 2017 Shortlist!

Little Sember stole readers' hearts in "Siena." Join her now, ten years later, as she embarks on a quest of her own to save her people, and to finally accept her true self along the way. - - - Sixteen and struggling is not how Sember wants to describe herself. Born with the ability to conjure fire, every day is a challenge to keep the churning blaze within her under control. After nearly incinerating her parents at the age of six, guilt and doubt plague her at every turn. While the village's gifted healer is away, a mysterious disease sweeps through Foresthome, and people start dying. When her parents get infected and the resident herbalist has no solutions, she takes it upon herself to track the clues and locate the source of this unnatural plague. Joined by her brother and a handsome Iceling, they must unravel the mystery and face an unexpected enemy in the shadows. If they fail, the plague will engulf the world she knows, plunging it into dark times. Maybe a little fire is exactly what they need. --- Big thanks to @vexnir for illustrating this awesome cover.

Nirrin spends her days in Foresthome caring for orphans, getting into trouble, and listening to other people's adventures with secret envy. Which is why following an intriguing stranger into an unknown part of the forest seemed like a good idea at the time. Nirrin doesn't expect to find her missing parents among a band of odd-looking misfits, but family is family, right? Her hopes to reclaim the kin she'd lost are challenged, however, when she uncovers their violent plot against "Normals" like her. They'll make an exception for her (Nirrin has always been great at exempting herself from rules), but doing nothing would mean endangering her friends in Foresthome. She must stop these outcasts from--who is she kidding? She's a smart-mouthed girl with no special talents. What is she going to do, talk them to death? Maybe babysitting a bunch of other orphans in Foresthome wasn't such a bad deal after all.

But one reckless night changes everything when she finds herself entangled with Caspian Montgomery-a man who embodies everything she once ran from. Caspian commands power with an iron will, feared as much as he is desired. Ruthless, powerful, and entirely out of reach. As the heir to an empire, he commands fear and respect in equal measure, a man whose world is built on control. He is as feared as he is desired. With wealth, power, intelligence, and the allure of a Greek god, he has it all. He is a man accustomed to control, and when he discovers Katherine is carrying his child, letting go is not an option. What was meant to be a fleeting moment becomes inescapable when Katherine discovers she's carrying his child. she is thrust into the very life she once fled-one of power, privilege, and unforgiving scrutiny. But Caspian doesn't just demand his heir; he demands her. Katherine must navigate the dangerous intricacies of wealth and influence. Here, power is a currency, love is a weakness, and every move is a calculated game. But as much as she resists, Caspian is relentless-possessive in ways she never expected, drawn to her in a way that defies logic. To him, she is not just the mother of his child; she is his-to protect, to control, to claim. Bound by an unexpected marriage, Katherine must navigate a world where love and power are indistinguishable, and where the most dangerous thing of all may be surrendering to the man who now holds her fate in his hands. # 1 in marriage, 11/11/2023 #1 in age gape, 11/11/2023 #1 in billionaire,11/11/2023 #1 in one night stands 11/11/2023 #1 in wealthy11/11/2023 #1 in Humor 23/11/2023

A soul's reluctant journey between realities. Poetic visions of past lives. The five poems are actually one story about a lone, lost soul. These are my personal visions.

** Special Note ** This story will be edited at a later date to fit my current writing style, however, I am leaving this first very rough draft up until then. Highest Ranking -- # 1 in General Fiction - Feb 2015 to April 2015 Twenty-two year old Lea Mason didn't mind living a boring life far from the limelight that her parents enjoyed. In fact, she thrived in the solitude and mundane routines that she surrounded herself with. Carter Stephens, crime boss extraordinaire, enjoyed dishing out pain and punishment to those that dared to cross him. His only rules for life were simple: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, know their every weakness and use that weakness to destroy them, never leave a witness alive, and never, under absolutely no circumstance, feel. **All rights reserved.
