Blaze Davis is the girl in the shadows. The one no one notices but if given a chance, could light up your world with a personality as unique as the scars adorning her body like damaged armour. She has secrets no one knows and hidden beneath that mask is a broken soul. She's seen pain in it's ugliest form. From losing her best friend to being a victim of constant abuse by her boyfriend, Blaze's life is no short of being called a wreck. She knows hurt like the back of her hand. For her, life resembles a tragic poem she can recite from the depths of her heart, knowing she'll always be stuck in the same verse and destined to a doomed path. Building up walls and trying to cement the cracks became more of a task rather than a coping mechanism, giving rise to a closed-off and withdrawn shell. Enter Rafael Hernandez. The Loner Bad Boy. A person with no shortage of wounds himself. He has demons of his own, fighting to take over. Plagued by the regrets and shadows of his past, he manages to hide behind a tough exterior of arrogance and hostility. Resorting to the darkness dwelling in the shadows of his mind, he's on the road to a catastrophic spiral that could leave him lifeless and desolate. What happens when he takes a sudden interest in her? Could this boy be enough to break down her walls? Or will he deepen her scars until she bleeds out from the pain? A storm of emotions like pain, love, agony, hurt, trust are unleashed when two lost souls intertwine in a hope to be found again.

When Nokkland found himself setting off with the inn's barmaid to track down an ice-dragon, he hadn't realized that he would be thrust into the center of a prophecy he knew nothing about. Nor that he would become part of an undercover group of revolutionaries, determined to keep each of Sissera's five races from annihilating the others. He won't survive alone... A vagabond destined to be a dead king. A wayward elf with a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A lover attempting to play a game of chess with lives. A hot-tempered cupbearer who avoids mirrors at all cost. An architect who designs something much greater than a building. Together, they must play a treacherous game of truths and lies for peace assuming they don't cave into their own fears and split ways first.

Norman Patterson believes that the world is against him. Why wouldn't he, when his brother's demeaning and abusive comments keep him awake at night, ravaging his mind? With his unique, hardly appropriate survival skills and damaged self-esteem, the largely self-absorbed, sometimes clueless man, sets on a mission to prove to the world that he can find love, no matter the cost. It appears there's no one more suitable for the job than the woman he simply cannot stop thinking about. NB 'Beneath The Surface' explores the effects of child abuse and neglect, sexual abuse, and low self-worth. While I might throw in some form of humor to lighten the mood, none of these issues should be taken lightly. 🚫 Trigger warning; Some scenes portray abuse, violence, and self-harm. ❗❗❗ If you are not comfortable with dark themes or have any triggers at all, please do not read this story!
