[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it." -- Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime. Or so everyone thought. She was his second chance. But her heart loved another. Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart. -- **A slow-burning, sensual love story with a splash of humor, a dash of action, and a lot of heart.** Rated PG-13 for adult content (coarse language, violence, and non-explicit sex) [There is a separate R-rated scenes book for those who want steamier scenes] CONTAINS: alpha lycan x human mates, strong female lead, second chance mates, reincarnation (tabula rasa), love-triangles, vampires, action, drama, humor, relatable characters, high stakes, passionate romances VOID OF: "insta-love," extremely possessive, aggressive, abusive alpha mates, Stockholm Syndrome *OVERALL WINNER of 2017 Flower's Awards*

"One night. That's all I want. I promise I won't expect anything more than what you offer." She murmured, pleadingly and reached back to the zipper. Her dress slipped down and pooled at her feet, exposing her sweet little body to me. Doing my absolute best to look away, I swallowed hard and shook my head. I needed to get her out of here and home in her own damn bed before I changed my fucking mind, plow through that little barrier that was keeping her innocent, and let her learn the hard way. "Damnit, Hart. Put your dress back on. I can't do this. I'm trying my best to stay out of trouble. You are trouble." "Please..." She begged quietly. "I won't be clingy. I won't say anything to anyone. No one will ever know. I promise." As she began to beg me, my eyes lifted to her and my mind began flipping through the excuses I could use to let her down gently. But when I caught a glimpse of her scantily clad body, I knew right then and there I was fucked. Utter perfection. Me being the reckless Burkhalter I was- I threw caution to the wind as soon as I saw flesh. Fuck my parents. Fuck hard work and responsibility. Fuck being the good son I was supposed to be. Tomorrow is another day. A new beginning. Tonight, she's mine. Arrogant and reckless Austin Burkhalter's life has been thrown off the track after being thrown in the drunk tank for the second time in less than a month. In order for him to get his precious lifestyle back, his parents are sending him to live and work on a farm in a small town in Mississippi where he must learn the definition of hard work and responsibility. Everything changes when he is faced with the beautiful and innocent southern belle Elizabeth Hart, the farmer's daughter. From the moment he meets her, he knows things are going downhill for the both of them. After one night of pure lust and pent-up desire, they are both faced with life-altering bittersweet betrayal.

*completed NOW A PUBLISHED NOVEL!* An ancient Cursed bloodline, a world-crossed romance, tyrant kings, a princess with dragon wings, a forbidden love affair, and a sorcerer meant to reign in chaos... this is the Redemption Saga. Bride of Alvar What if your entire life your mother declared you're destined to wed a king from a magical world? Would you believe her? Probably not. I didn't believe her either, until a handsome, other-worldly king showed up to claim me as his bride. Despite my annoying attraction to him, I let the magical king know about a complication: I'm already engaged to somebody else. However, when monsters from Alvar's world kidnap my best friend, I find myself whisked away to his realm marrying him anyway. But marrying a man I barely know and adapting to a fantastical new world is nothing compared to learning just how many dark secrets my new husband hides and that the fates of both my world and Alvar's rest on MY shoulders.
