A witch's curse turns cruel Lord Caspian into a beast, and causes Transylvania to suffer a century of snowfall and blood-shed. When the Hershel men trespass on the Beast's property during a hunt, Lord Caspian captures and threatens them with death. Harlan Hershel offers his daughter Rosalind to the beast for a month to save his sons. But when the Beast sees Rosalind, he believes she is the reincarnation of his late wife and becomes fiercely drawn to her. Though terrified at first, Rosalind grows fond of the abominable lord. The closer she gets to the secrets Caspian keeps, especially of the mysterious stranger in the violin room, the closer she comes to the darkness waking inside her. When Rosalind's true calling is discovered, that she is the one prophesied to kill the lord, her burning desire for him threatens to destroy the person she once was, and all of Transylvania. Rosalind must decided if she is strong enough to destroy Caspian and end his rein of blood, or give into the dark love she has found and become a monster herself. Beauty and the Beast meets Dracula.

I made my way to the packhouse as if an invisible hand was pulling me with urgency, manoeuvring us through the labyrinth of stairs and corridors until finally releasing its rough hold. And then I saw him. Zuriel Kane, Alpha to the Night Walker Pack. Sitting so casually on my leather couch as if he was soothed by the cold material, a douting look in his blue eyes as they shone down at the small figure sitting beside him. I stayed there watching silently longer than maybe I should have, feeling my heart fill with glee as I watched the two of them beam at each other. Their conversation was that of comfort and introduction but the familiarity which shone through their soft words was old, like distant friends finding each other again. I listened to every calmly spoken word, letting the smooth tone of his voice wash over me, filling me with a great sense of yearning. His smell intoxicated me and unintentionally I felt my heart react and flutter to the sensation as I shamelessly looked over his muscular build, the sharp line of his jaw and the broad shape of his hard shoulders. "Yeh Mama is very protective over the pack." I heard my pup exclaim proudly, causing me to painfully break out of my admiration and assume my natural position in the doorway. I am an Alpha after all. "Mama?" As if suddenly becoming aware of my looming figure his head snapped to the door where I stood, his eyes shamelessly widening as they took me in. I didn't try to conceal my smile, it was one of confidence and pride and if anyone thought it was unwarranted I will gladly invite them to my pack to prove to them just how wrong they truly were. "That would be me." ----- In a world where bastards don't receive the Moon Goddesses' gift of a mate, how can Coraline explain what she feels for someone she cannot have? ---- Ranking #: #13- Feminism #24 - Separated #25 - ReadForRead #54 - New Book WARNING: SEX, VIOLENCE, TORTURE, AND DEATH ARE ALL INCLUDED IN THIS STORY.

She was never scared of heights. Avery Woodsen has spent years clawing her way up the political ladder. She's fought and sacrificed to get where she is; she's more than ready to see the fruits of her labor. Finally, it's her chance to get one step closer to her dream - one step closer to D.C., a shiny city just waiting for her. Her time at the California Attorney General's office has come to an end. She's sacrificed everything for this. She would sacrifice anything to keep it. But when the attorney general seems to be targeted by a gun-wielding coward, Avery finds herself in the crosshairs. There's no manifesto to give her answers, and no suspect to question. Her ladder has collapsed. Will the security team sent from Greystone Security be enough to keep her safe? Will the trained, handsome man forced to be her protective shadow be able to keep her away from danger? Or will her desire to move up in her career have too strong of a pull? Or is what's tugging her not her career at all, but Reed Sterling himself? Trust no one.

Dragons like princesses. Everyone knows that. But the kingdom of Teana is pretty lacking in maids of the royal variety - which must be why Alannah finds herself tied to a pole, surrounded by sheep, and in the most ridiculous white dress she's ever seen. Only she's not a princess; she's a witch. And she's not interested in being another notch on this dragon's belt. All she wants is get back to her Grandmother's shop, and back to her normal life. But she's days from home, and her only assistance is a blundering knight-in-training, a recently captured slave - and the dragon, who follows them around like a curious puppy. A large, dangerous puppy that can look human whenever it chooses - yeah, she's definitely in trouble. BETA/DRAFT: All rights reserved. Visit www.lemedlock.com for information on upcoming stories.
