Falling into the fiery hell she created must've been the perfect way for her to die. The other woman would then become the heroine that saved the town's people from the mad queen that burnt half of the population down and the duke would become the hero that protected the heroine. They would then be wed and have little children. They would live happily in the new world that they would create after vanquishing the evil queen. They would then lead the people unto a prosperous era of peace. Just... Where?... Where did I go wrong? When I am reborn, will you please give me a simple life?

But Foxes has been raised to know that the war between two human armies isn't the end game, and that there is an unseen power that threatens more than nations.

With more creatures gathering in Pretoria for various reasons and alliances, our heroes only have one constant in their lives. A safe place to have a pastry and a good cup of joe. Surviving will mean shaking off old biases and grudges and ancient friendships crumble around them as they try to lick their wounds from the chaos recently unleashed onto their lives. But something is brewing in the nine realms. An ancient enemy that turns friend into foe and who will require the sacrifice of our heroes to defeat. Old enemies turn deadly and friends must decide who they trust while building a world they can believe in. *** Note: The primary genre of this story is not romance, but there are romance elements into it. I believe in equal representation, which means there will be a variety of relationships in this series, from MxW, WxW, MxM. Each relationship will develop differently, as in real life. But there is no Explicit content in this story. *** Book two of the Devil's Deal Series. Cover by @whiskeyjanedoe

Earth and the Eight realms are cut adrift from the network of realities and worlds that make up the expansive Universe, though time will tell if it is enough to stop the World Eater from getting what it wants from Lucifer. Only a few know the truth about what has happened and they struggle to maintain the secret long enough to make a difference in the battle to come. Life has continued, revolving around Lucifer's coffee shop and its menagerie of patrons and the efforts of the Council to keep Earth balanced between light and dark. The only thing reliable in this town is that Sinfully Delicious will be open and that eventually there may be a batch of sticky buns for eager patrons. There will be war. There will be love. There will be sacrifice. There will be loss. But first stop by for a latte, avoid the scones and try not to feed the demons any Nymph Blood. Also, any tips on how to start up a supernatural rodeo would be greatly appreciated. #stickybunsforpeace Book Three of the Devil's Deal Series. Cover by @whiskeyjanedoe

I hardly know a single thing about you, and yet, I've been telling you everything about me." "You want to know who the real Kaia Jones is? She's a bitch.

#7 in employee #190 in Hidden #285 in Mafia -- "Mr Amadio is ready for you now, if you'd like to just enter here," she informs. "Okay, thank you." The door is pinned with a glass sign embossed with the gold letters 'LUCA AMADIO'. As Rosalie pushes it open and gestures for me to enter, I don't allow myself to hesitate before stepping in. The excess of open space is the first thing I notice. The very air in here seems changed, and an enticing scent of rosewood and something warm and tingly lingers in the air. Organised shelves of documents adorn the walls, a clean black shade that contrasts with the pearly tones of the walls. The carpeted floor is a constant beige, and as my gaze follows it up the centre of the room, I finally take in the unnecessarily large desk that sits before a spotless window just as unnecessarily large. My eyes lift up a few inches further to my interviewer, and I instantly feel assaulted as I meet his unreadable stare. Instantly, a deep pink floods my face. Sharp features and an angular jaw face me, calculating gaze scanning me up and down. One hand strokes the short stubble dancing across his chin as he contemplates my presence. Dark eyes framed by enviously thick eyelashes scrape their way up to meet my startled ones. So much so for my talent of restraining my blush. I clear my throat, willing away the flustered feeling so uncharacteristic to me, and introduce myself with a smile. "Good afternoon, I am-" "I know who you are, Sylvie-Anne Roberts." Initially, I'm taken-aback by the Italian twang laced through his words. Then, I register the deep, smooth, tone of his voice. And eventually, I realise that he knows my full name, even though I only ever go by 'Sylvie Roberts'. -- Began: 11th April 2018 Completed: Cover: @rainouts

WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SEPTEMBER 2021 EXCLUSIVE CHAPTERS AND WRITER'S REVEAL CONTENT AVAILABLE - NOT A PAID STORY Appearances can be deceiving. What if the Bad Boy wasn't so bad and the good girl wasn't quite so good? Kelly Wankum has an unfortunate last name and even worse luck. By the tender age of twenty-three, she's broken her tailbone, thumb, her nose, hip, and now her rib. It wouldn't be so bad if she could say something funny like, "I broke myself on a stripper pole" or "I was mugged in a Walmart parking lot." That would actually be believable, right? Instead, she breaks her rib reaching for a ball of yarn. Even worse, everyone knows she's so accident prone, she could sneeze and lose a tooth. They'd probably bet on her swallowing it in a pancake. Oh wait, she's done that too. Another trip to the Urgent Care has the doctors shaking their heads, offering to pray for her health while new, sexy Doctor Blake Cole immediately gets off on the wrong foot. Months after their first encounter, Blake and Kelly meet again by chance. After inadvertantly humiliating her, Blake tries to set things straight and make it up to her. The problem is, Blake's lifestyle is painfully different, and Kelly can't help imagining him like every bad boy she's ever read about online. Can Blake convince her to give him a chance and prove he's actually a good guy? **This story is set in the present and the pandemic is part of the narrative.** --Cover by AnnieRosebud-- ©2020, 2022
