Life for Callie had never been an easy one but it was something she had gotten used to. For this emotionally lonely girl, it entailed balancing school with work, taking care of her mentally ill dad and dealing with a pointless high school drama that she had been webbed in. But when her dad got arrested for something he didn't do, Callie took it upon herself to appeal to the person who put him there. What she didn't expect was to get tangled up with the quiet, emerald-eyed Larkin Hammell and opening up her fragile heart to a boy with more baggage than she ever had. Larkin Hammell had enough scars on his face and his heart, likewise, to last a lifetime. He had become a shadow of his former self and all he wanted was to be left alone to wallow in his pain and grief. Hiding away from the world and wearing the guilt of his past on his sleeves were all part of Larkin's plans. Then everything changed when fate swept her into his life unexpectedly. Is love ever enough to fix the fragments of a broken heart or is it all you need to pick up the remaining pieces before it gets completely shattered? *** 👑1st place - Monarchy Awards (Teen Fiction Category) 👑1st place - The Innovation Awards (Romance Category) 👑1st place - The Ulven Awards (Romance Category) 👑 Winner of "Best Fantasy" Category - Nigerian Readers Choice Awards 👑3rd place - The Noble Awards (Teen Fiction Category) Readers' Reviews - "Is this really chapter 1?

*Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel* Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the doorknob only to have a tall man towering in front of her. "Master Ian!" She called. Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. "Where did you acquire that dress?" "Mr. Harland gave it to me." Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian's brows knitted in its elegance. "Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?" He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. "I don't know." His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. "Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth." He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her, and leisurely replied. "Unfortunately, you cant wear the dress over there." He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. "And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you." Elise was a cursed little girl who could see ghosts. Her family hated her and threw her from one adoptive family to another. However, misfortune didn't act alone. When she was brought up by her aunt, she was sold as a slave. When she had thought she would become nothing but a sacrifice to the sorcerer, she was saved by a man whose identity was far different than a normal mythical being. #1 in mythicalbeings (8/9/20)
