At sixteen, Adira was banished to the island of Banau after committing treason: saving the life of her brother, the Crown Prince, with witchcraft. For the past five years, the only visitors to Banau have been those after the bounty placed on her head. Until a boat arrives, carrying an injured young woman, her two brothers, and her husband. Adira finds herself using her witchcraft to heal instead of kill again, stirring up feelings she thought she'd long buried. Her price is simple: leave Banau, tell no one what she did, and never return. Zarad, one of the brothers, ignores her wishes and decides to stay and serve Adira for one year. The price was not fair, and she needs someone. Adira is convinced she needs no one and wants him gone, but he might be even more stubborn than she is. He might also be right.

"How did we go from pretending we're in love, to you actually falling head over heels for me?" Cara cocked her head as she studied him. This boy will be the death of her. "W-whoa whoa whoa, head over heels?" Darius raised his hands in mock defeat. He was perfectly aware of how serious she was, but he couldn't pass up the opportunity to tease her. "What do you see in me? Why are you so nice to me? Hell, I kicked you in the nuts." Cara pressed further. "Nobody should be this perfect," her voice lowered to a soft whisper. Darius took a step towards her, closing the distance between them. He tipped her chin up to meet her gaze. "Then I guess you haven't met the right person." "Until now." He pressed his lips to hers. It was an age old marriage of convenience between them - Darius Alexander Clemonte, the sexy, playful millionaire who has to shed his playboy image to protect his legacy; Cara Jefferson, the daughter of a struggling businessman who happened to be a convenient family friend of the Clemonte's. They should be opposed to the idea of each other... except Cara, the girl who doesn't believe in love, drives Darius wild. In a good way. WARNING: This story contains mature scenes.

This collection of love themed poems has been updated for 2019! ***** Originally this collection was called "Valentine" and I posted a 'love' themed poem for 14 days in February 2017. Since then, I've added a few extra poems each year.

When a celestial body forms, its soul manifests as a dragon, and seeks out the nearest inhabited planet to hunt upon. The moon dragon's power is cataclysmic on Earth, as she draws her strength from the gravitational force which creates the ocean's tides. Thousands of years ago, a violent king cursed a fragment of the moon; anyone who held it had the dragon's perfect obedience. The king used her as a weapon, destroying countless lives in his conquests. After the king's death, his heir decided such a weapon was inhumane for war, but too valuable to relinquish; The dragon was commanded to remain in her prison beneath the kingdom forever. Enraged, she began to kill any human who entered her cell. Rather than command her to stop, the royal family found her to be an efficient executioner, and an effective threat to dissenters. When Lyra is sent into the dragon's cell, fear conflicts with empathy, as both have suffered at the same hands.
