"Justice, desire, and obsession-some lines aren't meant to stay uncrossed." Debra Rowe is a sharp, no-nonsense detective with a rising reputation and a tightly guarded heart. She's spent her career chasing criminals, not romance-especially not the kind that looks like her sweet, soft-spoken childhood friend who reappeared in her life a little too handsome and far too charming. Kyle Merrin, the city's young federal prosecutor, is all wide-eyed warmth and loyal smiles on the surface. But behind that boyish face is a man who's spent years orchestrating every step to get closer to her again. And he's not above using every tool in his arsenal-logic, law, or longing. When they're thrown together on a high-stakes drug case, lines blur fast. Between midnight stakeouts, whispered teasing, close calls, and stolen touches, Debra begins to realize she may not always be the one in control. But Kyle's not just falling in love-he's playing the long game. And if anyone thinks they can take her from him, they'll learn just how dangerous a devoted man with a perfect memory and a lawyer's power can be. A story of slow-burning obsession, tactical tenderness, and the quiet unraveling of boundaries between two people who were never meant to stay apart.

I'm in love with the book - It's not easy to be a man after traveling to future......... And..... I've been waiting for chapters after 1482. So I wanted to write a few scenes how I imagine their relationship to move....... Ps- It's only fanfiction. Edit - And we did get new chapters with an announcement that Madam Ru is probably going to leave this story on a cliffhanger forever. Permanently abandoned. Well for me it was a big letdown because I have been waiting for this story for years. So I'm probably going to add a segment for my own satisfaction of how I imagine this story to end.

This book will focus on Twisted Wonderland one-shots for the reader. It contains curse words so I'll leave that clear. Requests are closed for the moment but I'll try to have them open as soon as possible.

I draw the people I hate at school. I hear the gossip, I hear the lies but I draw what my own eyes see. And I see the embarrassing, devastating, beautiful secrets my peers all try to hide. I have quite the collection of their paradoxes; a sketchbook full of costumes and lies... Until the most popular boy, and my most hated, happens upon my misplaced book of secrets. ***** Alys is a wallflower. She is faceless, voiceless... and she is free. Being nothing more than an ever-shifting shadow is an art she mastered long ago. It's one that allows her to sketch the oblivious people around; drawing their true lives without ever being seen. The art within her pages is extraordinary; Alys' hands having the ability to create perfect renditions of the world around. HER version of the world. Yet her fingers tighten upon each pencil; the dark remnants of her past still haunting her. So, she hides her true ability behind a quiet wallflower's eyes. No one must see, no one must know. For her past is all SHE knows. Within her school there is another student she despises the most; a wolf hidden amongst a flock of sheep. Hayden; the boy loved and adored by those around him. Hayden; the monster who secretly hated them all. She never wanted to meet him. She never wanted to have to interact with ANY of them, but that all changed when her friend is accused of a crime she did not commit in a flurry of senior pranks gone wrong. In the chaos Alys faces afterwards, she accidentally leaves her condemning book behind. Who else would find it but Mr. Popular; the devil who fakes it all? Hayden has found the most interesting obstacle, a girl who can see anyone for what they truly are- even him. And with art so beautiful, so breathtaking... so dangerous, he entices Alys with a proposition she can't refuse. She would be his puppet, to do as he bid, and he would help her get her revenge... his revenge. And in what better form than a mural at graduation? One that might not be as it seemed.

Lisa and her boss, Alessandro, agree to spite their exes by pretending to date, but things begin to backfire when fake feelings become real along the way. ***** For two years, Lisa Brooks worked as a secretary to the powerful self-made billionaire, Alessandro Russo. He hardly noticed her, and to him, she was nothing more than a co-worker who wore conservative clothes, a tight bun, and followed his orders. But when Lisa's heart gets broken by her first love and Alessandro starts to lose his willpower to avoid Gretchen (his ex-girlfriend and now-client's wife), they decide to help each other out by fake dating. I mean, how hard can it be to not fall in love? [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Ashley Santoro

"It is your choice," he said, stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do what I say - or get another job." My heart stood still as I gazed up into his deep, dark, dangerous eyes... In a world where women's only role in life is to sit at home and look pretty, Lilly is determined to fight for her freedom. There's only one problem: a powerful man blocking her way.

Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."
