Standalone in the Sons of Sin series *** Eva and Reaper were once in love and full of hope. Their relationship came to a dramatic end when the pressure of Eva's political engagement to Reaper's best friend-Torin-became too much. Upon miscarrying their unborn child, Eva turned to Reaper for support, only to be let down when he used alcohol as a coping mechanism. A year later, the two cannot be in the same room as each other without hurling abuse. But when an unknown threat attempts to take Eva's life, Reaper is assigned as her bodyguard. Eva is determined to make him quit and he is just as determined to hang on. But beneath the hostility are unresolved feelings and profound wounds that they'll have to move past to figure out who's trying to kill Eva and why.

(Highest #41 on 8/5/2020) A/N This book is a stand-alone even though the first few chapters might seem confusing! It's one of those, starts in the middle and eventually unravels kind of a story :') (COMPLETED) I moved to peer through the thicket when her arm snaked around mine and she wildly shook her head. "You don't want to-" she whispered and I put my arm on her shoulder reassuringly. "It will be okay." I whispered back as lowly as possible. Her frantic eyes tried to convey her message but there was no option. I had to see, see if I could help. Holding my heart in my throat, I turned my head back and peered through the leaves. It was not okay. ----------------------- At the start of her successful career, Flora Lori is running from a past, and a man, hoping to heal herself with time and distance. But when she takes a long deserved vacation to a remote luxury hotel far away from home, little does she know that her life will be turned upside down by the one man she promised to never look at again. Just recovering from a major betrayal, love is the last thing on the Alpha King's mind, but when a routine errand leaves him questioning all his choices, he sets out to convince the girl he once blamed for everything that he's the one for her, while simultaneously uncovering a sinister plot, that threw them both in this situation in the first place.

| Highest rank #1 in Werewolf | Completed+Edited (This is only the first draft so there might be some mistakes here and there.) Spin-off to His Luna: The Prodigal Descendant * "A Wolf will be born so in time, To be mated to a woman who will be a human-- The human who can be a boon or a bane-- She will either bring the entire Wolf race together Or tear all the ties between them apart." It was a gory war--the place in complete ruins and chaos. A blood curdling scream was heard in the distance followed by wails of pain and desperation. The entire battleground was painted scarlet with the munted corpses littering the field. Amongst it all, there was a woman, unlike the rest surrounding her. She was maddened by her love and passion that left her bleeding as her body succumbed to the wound and she fell limp in her Mate's arms. The Alpha was driven into insanity as he held on to his unmoving Mate's frail body. The world seemed to collapse around him as he could see the life fading from the love of his life's eyes. The smile of content on her lifeless face, haunting him, taunting him as all he could do was scream for her to return to him. How will their lives turn out when destiny brings together an egoistic, arrogant but somehow charming Christian King and a headstrong and equally proud woman, Tiara Summers who has quite a few secrets in her bag? * Do not promote your works on my story. That is very rude and disrespectful. Those comments will be deleted as soon as I see them. P.S. Bear with me, I started writing this when I was 15! * Cover_credit:- @A_BookieMonster (isn't it amazing? <3 ) Started : 20/08/2016 Completed : 31/12/2017 Edited : 22/11/2018 [200,000-220,000 words]
