He was the prince who got away. He had it all - power, fame, glory, honor. (Did I mention the unlimited supply of money, alcohol and women?) Yet he chose the human world. She wasn't shy, quiet or even remotely sweet. She wasn't your girl next door and she certainly was not a princess. When Victoria is hired to kill a mysterious stranger, she didn't know she was dealing with royalty. Of the immortal kind. Their worlds are about to get intertwined in a way neither could've foreseen. Welcome to a place where pretences are everything and everyone lies to get what they want. There will be scandals. Conspiracies. Betrayal. Love. Vampires, angels, magic and smoking hot men. And of course, a whole lot of "What the hell just happened?" *** Current ranking - #1 on Fantasy Wattpad Featured book Fiction Award Winner 2017 Completed

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

Dark Elves have secretly invaded the southern kingdoms for the past ten years and the Elves are determined to stop their advance when they finally declare war. Caine, a powerful magician, arrives to the war council uncertain of the enemy he faces, unaware that Dark Elves have returned. As third in command, he has a lot on his plate and he's not helped by the absentee First Magician or cryptic Second Magician. With the return of the Nenya, a herald of the Elven Goddess, the stakes increase as the battle becomes about more than just victory over the Dark Elves. Breena, a spy embedded in the dark elf camps for the past seven years is close to rescue, but there's just one more secret she wants to seek out. Certain of her ability to reach her rescuers, she delays her escape by one day, which leads to her being held in chains tighter than ever. When she's faced with the Dark elf King and his half brother, will she be able to survive? Ixil has been rejected by every family he's ever known except for his Goddess and his King. Protecting them and their people has been his calling in life since he took his oath as a Guard, but he might just be in over his head when he's assigned to keep watch on the Nenya - the Goddesses cat-like creatures. Tall as a human with three plate armored tails and saber teeth as long as his forearm, the cat's waste no time making him earn his keep. When war is declared, no one's secrets are safe. ..... Hey guys! I will warn you, the chapters are very long, about ~2,500 words each. This story is unedited (and I have a pesky habit of just sprinkling liberally with commas and calling it good). So please, any constructive feedback and editing is welcome! I love hearing from you guys. And as always, comment, vote and share! I try to update Friday nights ~L

The High Councillor of Arille has set her sights on Rhia and the young sniper must use every bit of her wit and skills to navigate the dangerous world that she is thrust into. But that quickly becomes the least of her problems when a new race of people appear with powers beyond comprehension. Why are they here and why is their Ambassador stalking her?! =========== "Who the hell do you think you are?!" I growled into his face, pushing him into the gilded wall. I held my knife against his throat, ready to press down should he try anything. Frustratingly he simply shrugged and grinned, perfectly calm considering he and I both knew I could kill him in one move. For a heartbeat nothing was said, and his breath fanned my face as we stared at each other. Then his ice blue eyes flickered, as if coming to a decision. The moment he spoke for the first time, a foreign lilt to his tone, my hair stood on end. "I am your next target."

The last time she'd seen one of her race south of the mountains, she'd watch them hang for their ancestry. Years later, servant Kali acts as Lady's maid to Teslanar Imormetal in a small House set deep in the woods. As the only daughter of her family, Tess must earn her right to inherit and to that end a visit from the Prince is expected any day. Trying to keep true to her nature and yet escape the notice of the too keen Captain Hiltstar is none to easy a task for Kali, especially when he reveals his traveling companion. As the decision for Teslanar to leave home creeps closer, tensions in the House cause Kali to reveal more than she planned. Will she manage to escape the confines and return with them to the Capitol or will she remained trapped? When a battalion of soldiers and Prince in disguise show up, life will never be the same again. ..... While this is set in a fantasy world, the majority takes place in a kingdom where magic has been outlawed (especially in the book)! If you're looking for some hard core magic and casting check out my other title The War Begins!. I try to update Fridays so be on the lookout!
