|| Featured FREE story with exclusive paid chapters - previously a paid story || When Haley discovers the truth behind Xavier, whose silence holds a deeper meaning, she sets her mind on making his life better one small step at a time. ***** Haley Rosamond is happy with her simple life, content under the wing of her father. Well-protected, she has no idea of the darkness surrounding Xavier Hunt, with his all-black attire and infrequent presence in school-accompanied by his bruises and scars. That is, until Haley catches a glimpse of Xavier's reality and is made to question everything she knows about family and life in general. The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more. But when Haley's admission into her dream college and another tragedy in Xavier's life threaten to undo everything she has worked for, Haley needs to decide if she'll stick by Xavier or simply be another person in his life that disappears.

But when American hotelier Derek Montgomery comes to revolutionise her little, sleepy English village of Ascot, Rose starts to revisit the idea of falling in love. However, Derek brings with him many secrets and obligations, some that might prohibit him from pursuing Rose -- and push her into the arms of her friend, Michael Cornell, the Marquess of Juniper.

She comes from a wealthy Parisian family that has squandered their money and is subsequently forced to journey to New France. However, Celeste doesn't plan on marrying a complete stranger.

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.
