As the youngest sister of the current Sultan, Eliska has been raised in the harem. But she's been trained not to be a bride, though she has had instruction in the womanly arts, but rather as a spy. To protect her brother and the rest of the family, she must pretend to be someone else entirely in order to keep their lands safe. Tariq is a fixer, with a well deserved reputation in the criminal underworld for being the go-to person for any kind of problem that needs solving and the willingness to do anything to solve his clients problems. Hired to find a boy taken by slavers, he's reminded strongly of his own past and dedicates himself to the search. As his investigation continues, he keeps running into the same pretty girl who attacked him, apologized, and then paid him off all in the same night. Neither can deny that the other is interesting and as their mutual goals begin to converge, a kind of alliance springs up between them. But Tariq is a criminal and Eliska a princess, and whatever else might be growing between them, it might not be enough to overcome their barriers and secrets. If they even manage to keep themselves alive among dark magic, plots, and corruption. NaNoWriMo project for 2015.

Excerpt* A rough push is escalate against me and my back slams into the wall painfully, as I find him pinning me against it. "Your highness, I think you need to let go now." I try to say but his fists slam into the brick designer wall. He growls as his face lingers to my neck. His grip didn't ease a bit, but rather forces my back to mold into the wall. A throaty animalistic sound echoes from the depth of his throat and I stiffen, when his touch jolted me. Did he just freaking growl? "Let me go!" I demanded, my fists drumming his chest. "My little sweet Rae, where do you think you're going? I'm not done with you, just yet." He murmurs as icy breaths pound onto my scorching skin. I felt something sharp softly gnaw against my collarbone and snip at it. I flinch and realize his teeth had elongated into sharp incisors. My palms push him back and then I forcefully hurl my knee into his groin, when he doesn't bulge. He yelps but I am yanked back at the same moment. I inhaled for my last time, before my death followed. "Didn't I say, I'm not done yet?" Hot list: #666

"Listen close to the howls and feel their agony." Living under the imposition of the Association is what the life of Amareth Rose has to go through with each day. Through the arrant training of assassination and the depths of espionage, they habituate her into invisibility, devising her into their deadliest weapon- a killing machine. Her set of skills are beyond impressive; her talents no match and out of the leagues of men. Knowing the abhorrent avocation of the Association, her mother pioneers her away from the corrupted tyrrannies, despite knowing the risks; to lead her daughter into a path where there is no more wars, no more blood-shed, no more depravity. Through that tutelage, Amareth hid herself behind her true motives. Her struggle each day of concealing the truth has never been unveiled. Not a single soul debunks her repugnance towards the hunt of innocent varmints. Until the moment when she meets her fated person- her other half. The Alpha of the most vicious pack ever known in history. The Moonstone pack. Untamed, ferocious, truculent. The name itself is a living legend, a carrier of terror and horror for many packs and many years to come by. They are notorious for their brutality and savagery, threatening those who dares to step foot on their territory. Packs heed of the way they triumph in battles. The way they subjugate territories. The way they dictate Empires. All led by an Alpha. Valentino Rolfe. And none dares to defy him, for they all fear and admire his rule. "A Beast to all, a Mate to one." All Rights Reserved.
