Deep in the Forest follows Zoe Thornton, a science-driven college student determined to explain the world through logic and evidence, and Takota Sohappy, the grandson of a respected Yakama shaman who was raised on stories about the spirits and creatures hidden deep within the woods surrounding Rimrock Lake. After a terrifying encounter in the forest leaves them questioning everything they thought they understood, Zoe and Takota are pulled into a mystery where ancient legends begin to feel dangerously real. As strange voices echo through the trees and something unseen watches from the shadows, the two must navigate the growing tension between skepticism and belief while confronting emotions neither of them are fully prepared to face. ~*~*~*~ Featured on: @Wattpad ~ Editors' Choice (June 2022) @WattpadExplorer ~ Editors' Choice @Paranormal ~ Myths and Legends @mythandlegend ~ ONC 2022 Myth and Legend Makers @StoriesUndiscovered July '22 Featured list @NA ~ Beyond this realm || Paranormal + Werewolf + Vampire.

Five years ago, Teia Cloto left Naples after a three-day romance with the deliciously charming Alden Colle, determined not to dwell on him again. Or fall for men like him, especially when Teia's ancient dating history suggests they rarely keep their promises. Teia now has a successful career and a carefully constructed life built on sensible choices. But beneath the surface, the threads holding her ordered world together have quietly begun to unravel. When Teia returns to Italy to visit relatives in Turin, the worst thing she believes could happen is a bit of family drama with her espresso and cannoli. What she doesn't expect is for old ghosts and old feelings to resurface among medieval villages and ancient ruins. As the past begins pulling at threads Teia thought she'd long since severed, she finds herself questioning whether certain people ever truly leave us, or whether some love stories wait patiently for a second chance to be told. **Some scenes are of a sexual nature, though not explicit. There are also mythological references to self-harm.

When Stappleton acquires the fastest horse in England, Thayle seems set to lose the shirt off his back. But news of the infamous bet brings a mysterious young widow to the Duke's doorstep. 'Mrs Harrow' promises that her remarkable stallion can outrun any horse in the land.
