❝RUIN ME. BURN ME. I'M YOURS.❞ Kadar al-Din Rumi, Caliph of Khorashtar, is a cold-blooded murderer, and is known by the people of his country as such. Every dusk, he marries a new woman; and by dawn, he has slit her throat. It is a vicious cycle of murder and torment of girls and their families. When the ruthless king sets his sights on the sister of Zeinab Nejem, Zeinab knows that she will never let a monster win. She decides to take her sister's place, to survive longer than any other one of King Kadar's wives, and then, when the time comes, to murder him the way he murdered so many. © Copyright 2017 by Lily White.

As far as lazy roommates go, Death is probably as bad as they come. Rosa Delgada only wants a nice, ordinary weekend. When some guy claiming to be the Reaper comes knocking on her door, any plans of normality are thrown straight out of the window. Now she's got to worry about Death sleeping on her sofa, the forces of evil hunting down her new roommate, and - worst of all - all the post-break-up comfort food she keeps eating. And to make matters worse, Death is almost certainly going to go down in the record books as being the universe's least helpful roommate. He may be a horseman of the apocalypse but he'll be damned if he doesn't do the dishes. But life's going to get a whole lot harder for Rosa. Death's sudden holiday is resulting in some grizzly repercussions, and now all of the Underworld is out to drag him back. There's only so far sarcasm and strawberry ice cream will get you.

Bishop thinks he is happy, in the 'I want to hug everyone and kiss every baby' kind of way. The two different definitions of the word collide, as well as the people who hold them. //Short Story #65

When the quiet girl in Clayton Hugh's chemistry class comes knocking on his door at five in the morning barely covered up in her little pajamas, inattentive, and drooling like crazy, he has no choice but to take her inside. But once Lucy Walker wakes up inside a room she has never seen before wearing an over-sized t-shirt and gym shorts, you can imagine the pure panic setting in her. The subtle addition of Clayton entering the room shirtless doesn't help much either. After three years of fawning over him, leave it up to her sleepwalking to finally get Clayton Hugh to notice her.

Thea Hartens never liked too much attention. And that's only one of her many fears. This story started when Thea receives a letter saying that she got invited to the Sophomore Year's Leadership Training Seminar. She really got shocked when she found out she was chosen to be the participant of such seminar. Well, she was MORE shocked when she knew who her seminary partner is. That day has been such a bittersweet moment. The first time that Seth Deavon spoke to her, Thea knew every single day with him was going to be hell. He was annoying--correction: very annoying, uber stubborn and a hell of a jerk. Wait, did I mention he has an ego the size of Canada? But everytime they're together, something happens--either they're laughing together, Thea's crying or Thea feels the butterflies in her stomach going crazy (*wink*). Two entirely different people will have to trust each other and the first step of gaining their trust is being friends. And I tell you, Seth is not good at making friends--especially if it's a girl. But what do they say? Sometimes, things changes and everything has a reason. And we all have to take a risk. So live, laugh and love with Thea Hartens in her crazy life with Seth Deavon in This Bad Boy I'm With.
