"When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly." ― Patrick Overton, The leaning tree. Alwynn hadn't anticipated much from meeting an old friend of his parents. He expected a dull night filled with drab conversation and occasional pokes at his choices in life. He was prepared for that, he would just drift off into some serene place in his mind and let it all wash over him. Alwynn hadn't anticipated the 'old friend' to be a living, breathing Adonis capable of reducing the boy to a quivering, incoherent mess just with the flash of that ravishing smile. Vant Bayer, a man far too old for the 17-year-old, was just the man the boy was looking for. Little did Alwynn know, Vant wasn't merely a man...

The Goblin's Trilogy #2 Nearly six years have passed since the goblin king and queen overthrew Queen Mab, took ownership of the Unseelie court and turned their kingdom into an empire. Life could not be any better for the goblin king and his human bride. Knut has recovered well from his ordeal and has taken up the mantle of the emperor with his usual unbridled enthusiasm. Matilda has settled into the life of an empress and mother both surprisingly happily. Their twins, Fritjof and Floki, just learned to stab things properly, their youngest, Odd, is learning to speak more than just growl and Matilda's currently expecting her fourth child. For the first time in her entire life, Matilda truly feels content. However, when she is betrayed in the worst possible way by a trusted friend and she suffers an unbearable tragedy, Matilda's thirst for more is awoken like a slumbering beast. Her grief will turn her into a monster. A monster that will stop at nothing to protect the goblin's throne and bring suffering to all those that would dare try to claim it.

The Goblin's Trilogy #1 After being raised by her three criminal brothers, Matilda is used to stealing what she wants. However, when she picks the wrong person's pocket, she, unfortunately, wins the attentions of the goblin king, or well, prince actually. In one fell swoop, her life shifts and a thief is made a queen. The queen of a hoard of nasty, ugly, vile creatures with a taste for chaos. Surprisingly, she finds that this arrangement suits her just fine. But even the goblin queen's crown might not be enough to slate Matilda's greed as she sets her sights on overthrowing Queen Mab and becoming ruler over the entire Unseelie Court. ---- Author's note: I'm shooting to update every Thursday or Friday, depending on my work schedule.

"Sean - I - No - We can't date." She stood abruptly, bumping the table, making the bottle tip over. "I - No!" She stared at me like a small animal caught in the middle of the highway. Sean's rich. He's powerful. He's inherited his family's legacy ... the money ... the mansion ... the bloodshed ... but he's lost the only thing he ever truly cared about- his wife. He didn't think he could love again. He never tried. He wasn't looking ... then her. The new dancer at his strip-club is clumsy, smart mouthed, a terrible waitress and her performance on stage is ghastly ... but she's good at capturing his heart. Jessie never planned to be a stripper ... but life happens. She's on the run, hiding out, concealing secrets and the gentlemen's club on the wrong side of town seems like the perfect place. Denying Sean's advances are hard ... but she has to, because the truth would not only break his heart ... but possibly end her life.

"Close your eyes." he croaked, I did as I was told without any disobedience. "Have you any idea how badly I want to kiss you right now?" I shook my head in reply.

Dark haired and tattooed, Xavier looked like the ultimate bad boy...but weren't bad boys meant to have that boyish charm?

He was a building half built, a puzzle with half of the pieces missing... Until he met me. Warning: Bad language (lots of). A possessive delinquent that is guaranteed to make you smile (or cry.)
