Detective Kim Hayden thought that switching from homicide to white collar would be the biggest career move she would make; she was wrong. When she's sent undercover to the epicenter of luxury, the eminent Shaw Manor, home of the city's resident multimillionaire, Kim is suddenly living a life she never knew. She leaves behind the familiar police force, her home, and her on-again-off-again girlfriend, all to become a housekeeper for a man she doesn't even respect. She's forced into an assortment of new relationships, including one with her impossibly straightforward and controlling partner, Allison Beckett, who always asserts her knowledge of what's best. But relationships go from messy to messier, when Kim makes the biggest mistake of all: falling for the boss's wife. This story is rated R for language and sexual content. A.K.A, all the good stuff. Read at your own discretion, and enjoy, friends. :) Trigger warning: DV/IPV, sexual violence Cover by @halieghk, I can't get over it, SO MUCH YES!

There is only one thing that we can never change, and that is the place from which we come. Though she tries to control everything else in her life, there are three things that Counselor Carrie Everett just can't tame: her growing caseload, her weakness for police personnel, and her increasingly serious relationship with Detective Jenn Carver. While trying and seemingly failing to manage her personal life, Carrie's work life takes a turn for the chaotic when a brand new case threatens the safety of a close friend and coworker, Detective Kim Hayden. A case this serious is mentally taxing for a prosecutor, but that's the least of Carrie's worries. Now, it's personal, and when the detectives of Green Falls seek legal help to solve their case, life becomes a ticking clock for all involved. This is the sequel to my last piece, Black Tie Event, taking place two years after the first story's conclusion. You definitely do not have to read the first one to understand the second, though it may help and make the second piece slightly more enjoyable. You could even read them backwards if you so chose, though it might give some plot away to do it that way. Some new characters are introduced, among the familiar faces, and the situations are brand new. Rated R, just because of its intensity. Enjoy! Cover art again by perfect human @halieghk

Things are different. Humans are not at the top of the food chain, and life does not have the silver lining that Lily remembers it having when she was a kid. Civilization means living in fear and cowering away from the monsters that march the planet, hoping every night to see another day. But Lily is too fearless for her own good, and it just so happens to be during the night that she is plucked from her life like a flower from the earth. Little does she know that her capturer, whilst being the most bloodcurdling and lethal creature known to life, has a heartbeat regardless of being eternally undead. ✞ [a lesbian vampire love story] [tw: sex, violence, non-descriptive situations of rape]

Have you ever heard of the legend of the red string? Imagine your body is transparent. You will see that your whole body is connected by your blood vessels. They transport blood from your heart to all your body parts. They are so thin like strings. Since they carry blood, hence the red string. Did you know that there is a special connection between your heart and your pinky finger? The reason why we use our pinky to make promises is because of this special connection. The red string starts from our heart and just doesn't end at the tip of our finger. The legend says that the red string continues but it becomes invisible outside our body. It is connected to the person we are destined to meet, our soulmate. No matter how far he or she is or how your life circumstances differ sooner or later, the string of fate will lead you to him or her. When that happens, both of your lives will change. The string may stretch and be tangled, which may postpone the fateful meeting but never will they ever be broken. We might not realize it but we are all connected, guided by invisible strings that are woven into the fabric of universe itself. We will meet others as we unravel our tangled strings and the red thread that connecting us to our distant soul-mates is getting shorter. Our world has its share of obstacles, but nothing in it happens by accident.

Limited available until in process of exclusively published. Two female artists collide with a lot of confusion, so-good-to-be-true romance, struggles, and turns in life. One was too emotional and the other was not. Aurora dela Torre came from a deep hell she struggles to get out, and Elli Marcelli came from a lucky heaven life, but in art they are one. What will become to their own purgatory? Will they stay and bare the punishment to finally go to heaven, or hell?

The mystery surrounding Sage was all I could ever think of. Her dominance can over power every human being, bending and surrendering to her will. It's part of who she was. Her heart was covered with the darkness of her past, justifying her plans for the future. Will I ever tame the great Sagittarius?

Girls like me do not get happy endings. I know what I am. In the worst case a cliché at best a cautionary tale. I put an international border between my past and I, only to end up working in a strip bar low quality. Even my excuse is as bad as can be: I'm paying for college, getting my art degree from the most prestigious school of Montreal. Although some days it gets confusing: I'm just a student who works nights as a stripper, or a stripper that is passed by a student? But the inevitable happens and my two lives collide. And now there is a person who knows both quiet and antisocial Alaska and sensual, shameless Sky. A person who keeps my secret. It is beautiful, it is sophisticated. She comes from the other side of life, one in which they do not want me or accept. But it strikes me and their hot, warm hands on my skin promise me things that I gave up long ago. The problem? She teaches my class Classical Photography.
