Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

The summer is ending and school looms. A familiar group of friends has reunited in the light of those all-too-welcoming golden arches. But something dark has leaked through, finding its way into every home and institution in the mountain town of Alden Colorado. August is giving way to fall. But before the first bell rings, the pack will be tested in ways that make their old lives feel like a dream. In a town where the light has gone out of the leaders' eyes and the law has turned to ash, it's the ones that show up, who fill the void. ​As an ancient monster rises from the depths of the earth, the only things standing in its way are the all-too-familiar click of a gun safety and the dangerous, low-frequency growls of the wild. The lines between humans and monsters will blur. Welcome back to the world of The Hounds Of Heaven.

This story? It goes back to the time of the medieval period. The era of king and queen. Treachery and Loyalty. A girl whose leading knowledge is highest. A boy who is himself a leader. A girl who is naive to the big words. A boy who never fails to answer her. The common thing? The love towards their kingdom and making it safest for the ones who live there. The difference? He was called the beast. She was called beauty. He was the one to give the answer. She was one curious soul. He kept her beside. She followed him through the storm. ***** Join the pair in their interesting journey of responsibility, naivety, some quotes, fighting abilities, and the storm which they talk about. There is some romance too. Love is in the air, but not physically present. But you will need to feel it. ***** Chapter-1 &2 contain the past of both. Can skip if would like to. The current picture on the book cover does not belong to me. It belongs to its rightful owner. https://www.deviantart.com/wisnutan/art/Love-in-The-middle-of-War-514174030

When junior auditor Anara Ellison pulls a stranger out of a Paris mess with nothing but nerve and an eyelash curler, she doesn't expect him to follow the proof back to New York. Archer Montclaire-an architect with clean lines and shadowed edges-shows up with a new coat, a steady hand, and a mouth that turns common sense into smoke. What starts as a debt becomes a slow-burn collision: lunch dates that feel like confessions, late-night arguments that end in honesty, friends who meddle, flowers "just because," and two people learning how to build something sturdy out of heat and trust. He opens every door; she draws every boundary; together they find a rhythm that's equal parts filthy and tender. This is a love story about precision and chaos, receipts and choosing each other-on purpose, every time.
