"Very good, Wesley," he breathed, the warm air fanning across the merchant captain's face. "Now I suggest you listen closely because I don't do this very often." Wesley curiosity grew, though he kept a healthy degree of skepticism as he listened to the pirate. "I'm prepared to offer you a deal." "What kind of deal?" he asked, his heart racing. "I seem to have found something that I want even more than your ship's cargo," he said with an unsettling smirk. "And I am prepared to let what remains of your crew sail free if I get it." "Name your price," Wesley said, at this point ready to agree to anything if his crew would live. Valentine reached out and tilted Wesley's head up so he could get a better view of it. His smirk seemed to grow as he let one little word slip through his lips. "You." *This is an LGBTQ+ story*

***Formerly titled "The Privilege"*** In a distant galaxy, an advanced and powerful alien race known as the Azuli face a dire crisis: a biological war has left all their women dead or infertile, threatening their species with extinction. In a desperate bid for survival, they turn to the genetically similar humans of Earth. After making a covert treaty with the United Nations, the Azuli offer their advanced technology in exchange for Earth's women. Unbeknownst to the world, a secret selection process begins and numerous women are abducted and transported to the alien planet. Among them is investigative journalist, Elizabeth Crane. Just as she's about to uncover the truth of the disappearances, she is taken by Zy'ra Xantheris, an Azuli spy sent to stalk her and abduct her. Zy'ra is assigned as her escort to help her navigate the aliens' society and ensure her she is matched with one of their best warriors to bear children. However, the more time they spend together, the more attached she becomes to her human and her feelings threaten to break the surface. Commander Rhys Vorian, a fierce and loyal warrior, is one of the Azuli males who volunteers to be matched to one of the human females. He ends up being paired with Elizabeth and vows to protect her with his life. He quickly begins to fall for her, but senses her hesitation. When he uncovers a secret plot that may put her in danger, he wonders if she would be safer back on Earth. Together the three must navigate their alien love triangle, uncover hidden agendas, and make unexpected choices amidst political intrigue and cultural clashes. Elizabeth must decide which path she will take: trust Rhys and embrace a future she never imagined or escape and return to Earth and expose the truth for all to see. In a race against time, will love blossom in the stars or will the shadow of a war and mistrust doom them all?

I hate having to write these... I don't know how to describe a book I haven't finished yet. But, based on what I have, here it goes. Please, keep in mind, this is book two of the trilogy. If you haven't read the first one yet, you can find it in my profile, Bound by Destiny. Barely living through the trap set by the Fae that wants her gone, Eve imagines the worst is behind her. A change of location brings hope and sadness. But when one of her vampires is taken, she realizes that the fight will never be over. Not as long as she lives. Armed with magic she doesn't know how to use and her lovers, she enters a world she had never believed could exist, on a rescue mission that would see her take the Unseelie throne, or her and all those she loved dead. To those who have read book one, there are a few changes. Nathaniel's name is now Naiel. And Gabe is dark blond with gray eyes. There will probably be other changes as I go, because that is the type of writer I am, lol. I am going back and editing the changes into book one. I'm terrified, but will be entering Bound by Destiny in the Watty's. Pray for me!

Corruption That was the reason why the hammer crashed hard on wood, why the judge sneered down at him or why he felt his heart sink heavily in his body. He could faintly hear the crowd stand up and cheer, wicked delight in their eyes as they watched him getting dragged away. In their eyes, he was a murderer, a coldblooded killer that had slayed the pack leader's son in cold blood. In truth, he had come home to find that dispicable mutt trying to use his status to force his little sister. Enraged, Ben had thrown himself on the wanna be rapist and had let his animal take over, ending up killing the arrogant pup. Ben had felt no regret for saving his sister and had spat out the truth in the face of the leading Alpha and the pup's father. Sadly, the powerful man also held deep connections and had made sure that Ben was painted as a bloodthirsty murderer out for the lives of the innocent. Now he was sentenced to a lifetime on an island far away from civilasation. An island that was filled with true murderers, the worst of shifter kind. As he was shoved head first into the small jailer boat, all Benjamin could do was pray. And hope for a miracle.

He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019
