A woman with a tragic past learns she has ties to a group of vigilantes and finds herself the target of their leader; a cocky bastard who won't take no for an answer. ***** Two years after the death of her brother and a tricky escape from a volatile boyfriend, Reese Kentwell is living in Manhattan pursuing a career in photography. Her remedy for dismantling her turbulent past is to keep the company of bed buddies who don't hassle her when she tells them to bugger off. Reese's routine veers off course when she meets the Valentino brothers and unintentionally starts a feud between them. Vincent, the eldest, is a well-known philanthropist with a playboy reputation, while Colin is relegated to living in his brother's shadow. But a family feud is the least of Reese's worries. When the truth finally comes out that a dynasty of strange beasties lives in her city, Reese knows there will be no going back to her old routine of love 'em and leave 'em.

"We are looking for something really important here," he began. "And once he finds it, he will leave and you will never have to see him again. So please don't tell anyone about what you saw today." There was something really sincere about his brown eyes, I looked from him to Martin and shrugged. "Okay then, fine. What could I possibly lose?" I said, not knowing that this moment will be the one to change my life forever. *** Hope Adams is a teenager whose life is so dull and boring, just like everyone. She gave up on anything interesting happening in it, which really brought her down. But what will she do when a mysterious stranger comes to her school and take her to a whole different world? Will she enjoy the adventure that she always craved or will she realise that it was a cursed dream that will cost her everything?

Nine days of hoping for a miracle that would allow him to wake up. Nine long, endless days. Half of me is conquered by despair, while the other half clings to the hope that he will recover soon. I refuse to let fear and doubt overcome me. Hayden is dark and complicated, but as the days pass, I'm more determined to fight for him despite the hurdles in our way. I have to believe that there won't be serious consequences once he wakes up. I have to believe that we will overcome all obstacles and become stronger together. After all, we may be both damaged, but we're each other's salvation.

In the era where swords rule, where women consider their modesty their greatest virtue. Where a man would kill to find his wife warming another mans bed, a time when women would consider it the greatest of adultery or fornication to warm a bed other than her husbands. A time when an honorable man guards his gaze, for his gaze is solely for his wife alone, as well as his heart. He's feared, ruthless, cold, heartless, manipulative, cunning, a rake. Or so they assume... She's beautiful yet silent, not by a defect, she simply dislikes to mingle with gossip.Yet she has emotional scars that no one sees behind her smile, but a few. Cover by @forcade

The first, a rebellious, bold, animal lover, and the other a dark and brutally sadistic, abusive boy; they were nearly complete opposites on the outside. Other than their below average teenager life styles, the strongest, and possibly only, string tying them together is their incurable mental illnesses; their insanity. Drawn together by pain and suffering of both mind and body, Jane finds herself in need of help while Grayson has nothing better to do than watch people and animals suffer at his own hand. When an unexpected curveball is thrown at Jane and Grayson, they are forced onto a strange adventure that reveals to them the more beautiful and exhilarating side of life. Cover by: lunxr-
