Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

"I didn't mean to hurt you. I could never hurt you." He whispers into my neck. I stroke the back of his head with careful fingers, chin resting lightly atop his skull. "I know." I soothe, pulling him closer still. Sobs escape from his chest, rattling his shoulders in an unsteady rhythm. In that moment, my heart breaks for him and all the terrible things this life has done. It breaks for the guilt and the ghosts swimming in his mind, the person he was never allowed to become. It's not fair. ***** Nyx Nelson, or agent 184, is one of Hydra's best assets - not that she wants to be. With her parents murdered in front of her very eyes at age five, she's been tortured and experimented on for fourteen years. Suddenly her miserable life is turned upside down when the Avengers try to capture her, needing the information she can supply on a set of stolen blueprints for America's next weapon of mass destruction. Offered the deal of a lifetime by Tony Stark, she agrees. But Nyx's emotions are in for an even bigger surprise when she runs into the ghost that has been haunting her dreams for the past five years - The Winter Soldier. At first she does everything she can to avoid the super soldier, who brings back memories she has shut out for years. However, their relationship starts to change as they both realise there is more to the other than meets the eye, with more in common than they thought. Forced to work together in a bid to take down Hydra once and for all, can the two also help each other heal from their shared trauma? Or will their ghosts end up consuming them? ***** All of the characters belong to marvel/Sony apart from Nyx and a few others. The plot, however, is mine though it is inspired by the MCU films. I also don't own the cover art, which I found on Pinterest.

Being a teenager is easy? Huh, who said that? People say their high school years were the best years of their life, but for me they've been the worst. Finding out about my mom having cancer, my brother dating the biggest bitch in school, the one big mistake from my past following me everywhere I go and someone stalking every move I make is driving me insane. Sometimes I don't even know what's good anymore or who I can and can't trust. By the way, my name is Nessa Stone and I'm a junior at Skyland High, where I have two best friends, crazy teachers and a whole lot of adventures and issues coming in my way. I pretend to be strong and positive on the outside but on the inside I'm just a scared girl trying to get through life the best I can. Will I be able to be happy someday? To find love and be able to trust again? I don't know, but I hope so. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A BRIEF SCENE FROM JHO: I hear my phone making a noise and I walk towards it, maybe it's one of my friends needing something. I click on my messages and it's an anonymous text, 'Wouldn't you like to take revenge on your brother's girlfriend?' the message reads. I look outside my window to see if someone's there but I don't see anyone. 'Who is this?' I text back. 'Isn't it obvious?' The message appears after a few seconds. I dial the anonymous number to find out who's doing this but I go directly to voice mail. What the hell? I close my window's curtains just in case someone is indeed out there and I sit down in front of my desk for a couple of minutes. Who could possibly send me this? Maybe the same guy who send the photos to Derek. But I won't ask him today, he's already upset enough by what happened.
