Carter thought he knew what he was getting into when he was hired as the secretary to cutthroat CEO Faith Becker. Romance may not have been on the agenda, but the line between business and pleasure seems to be blurring. ***** Eager to gain business experience before he takes over his father's company, and to learn from someone who will see him as more than a spoiled heir, Carter Pierce accepts a job working for the most difficult CEO in town. Faith Becker's reputation precedes her, and it's nothing good. Nicknamed the She-Devil of New York, Faith is known for her high expectations, and she's sure Carter won't meet them. But even as they drive each other crazy in and out of the office, there's a chemistry between them that's hard to ignore. Faith may be the most beautiful woman Carter has ever met, and Carter may be the one person who seems to understand Faith as more than a tyrant boss, but romance is completely off the table. After all, they hate each other...don't they? [[Word count: 100,000 - 150,000]] Cover designed by Frances Louise De Ramos

Hunter called himself an archaeologist, but he was a modern day treasure hunter. Tiyana was a scientist devoted to her craft. They were passionate people, wholly devoted to their work. Neither of them had time for love. Neither of them could resist it when it happened. Neither of them knew that the world would need the two of them to save it from a tyrannical pre-historic overlord, his cyborg vampire paramour, and their army of mindless drudges. Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain. Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com
