---𝐊𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 is three things: A lover, a psychopath and a liar. Trapped between her own two perfect visions of hell, Kiara wants to free herself from the service of others, yet her only way out of this trap puts her into servitude of a greater power; a life she despises even more. When opportunity presents itself to Kiara, things change. She finds her unique skills might just offer her the key to escape her cage. ------ "If it's dangerous, we'll find another way." She couldn't risk losing him, not yet. "It's not dangerous, and that's what worries me." "What is going on, Kor? Talk to me." Kor pulled Kiara in close to him, not romantically but to make sure nobody could hear his words. "You mentioned two nights ago, stealing from the palace. I can do it." "What?" Kiara gasped. Her plan was a joke, a ploy to keep him in her bedroom longer. "The palace army is marching out of Coldmore as we speak, with most of the city guard. Only a few of us will remain. I can take a few jewels and we can leave. It will take days before they realise they're gone. We'll find a buyer far from here and escape. Then we can do whatever you need to follow the fire inside you." Kiara was feeling emotions she'd never felt before. She wasn't prone to happiness or elation quite like this. The closest she came to joy was her evening sunset, and even then that was more about letting go of the day than anything else. Before she let herself be swept up in the moment, she remembered that the man before her was worried about something. She had to remember she was supposed to care as to why. -- 1st on Romance Category on The Lily Awards 05/18/22 3rd on Fantasy Category on April Awards 07/07/22 1st on Best plot twist on Pawesome Awards 09/24/22 2nd on Best Cover on The Brine Awards 09/18/22

"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry.

He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow.
