Warren Carmichael, the prosperous thirty-year-old often titled "The Mansion Man," was well-known for his extravagant lifestyle and wealth. Yet, beneath his bright exterior lay a mysterious attachment to a singular possession, captivating the curiosity of all who crossed his path. Despite his imposing presence, no one dared to mention the subject, leaving the obscure connection of his fascination covered in secrecy. Little did Warren expect that an encounter with a spirited blonde child and her older brother would uncover long-buried memories, compelling him to confront his past and reveal the untold story behind his cherished possession.

Lexie is not a warrior. In fact, Lexie is a painter. Her hands are always covered in paint. Never coming off. Always there. For Lexie, painting is an escape. An escape from her pain. She paints to avoid the darkness that is in her soul. She paints to avoid looking at the bleeding wound inside her chest. She paints. To forget. But then Lexie meets someone. Her mate. He also hides a dark anger inside him. An anger at everything and the world around him. When two souls collide, how do you fix each other? Atlas isn't looking for a mate. He's seen the effect of women within his life, and how cruel they can be. But then he meets someone. Someone he doesn't want to meet. A painter soul. And a warrior's heart. How will the two collide? ***Note this can be read as a stand-alone story. Moon Child can be found on world_joy_ bio page - feel free to read it to get other characters background story.
