    For a century, the Peace Spell held the monsters at bay, trading bloodlust for a fragile truce. Then, in one neon-lit nightclub, a single gunshot shattered the pact. Now, the hunters have become the hunted. As the moon turns a bruised red and the city is fed a televised apocalypse, the line between guardian and monster dissolves into chaos. Jacob is caught in the middle of a war he never wanted. He is forced to choose: his father's cold, calculated logic or his ex-girlfriend's dangerous secrets. He is blind to the fact that the woman he is protecting is the key to the very truth his father has sworn to burn down. β€‹βœŒοΈ Peace is broken. πŸ“± Hunt is live. πŸ”₯ Truth is Blurring. One Night. One City. No Mercy. In a city where every broadcast is a lie, the most dangerous thing you can do is trust the wrong person. Witness the first installment of "Peace Grows Thin" Author's Note: Peace Grows Thin is the new title (formerly The Chaotic Night Of Broken Peace Spell). Same pulse-pounding mystery, just a sharper look!

    Some seasons arrive with a whisper. Theirs arrived with scandal. Once among society's most admired families, the Ellery name now lingers in drawing rooms only as a cautionary tale-spoken in lowered voices, sharpened by scandal, and followed by pity. With her family's fortune in tatters and their standing in freefall, Lady Lavinia Ellery has learned that survival in high society requires more than grace. It requires strategy. It requires sacrifice. It requires marrying well. But when the dangerously elusive Lord Colton St. James enters her world-a man whispered about with equal parts fascination and fear-Lavinia finds herself entangled in something far more perilous than society's cruel gossip. Because Colton is not the sort of man who offers harmless courtship. He is temptation dressed in aristocratic perfection. A man of devastating charm, ruthless restraint, and secrets dark enough to destroy them both. As rivals circle, reputations crumble, and ambition turns even family into enemies, Lavinia must decide what she is willing to surrender for the salvation of her family name. Her freedom. Or her heart. In a world of velvet silk, hearsays, betrayal, and whispered desire, love is rarely gentle. And some passions do not save you. They ruin you slowly. . beautifully.

    Book #3 of The Mating Series. X has a reputation of being one of the most aggressive Alphas in the world. He's ruthless, dark, brooding and detached. Broken by loss. Even his own pack feared him. No one would believe he had a soft spot, especially for a baby girl. No one would believe he had such a weakness. Nor did they believe he would get another. A mate that is. To him, she's just another weakness. Will his mate be able to change his perspective, or will he reject her? P.S.: I'm keeping this as PG as possible. Β©Monicey2016.

    The enchanted woods around Thorne Estate are beautiful, ancient, and hungry. When Lord Thorne finds a lost child in the mist, he brings him home. Vaeren, a quiet orphan marked by survival and a magic that grows darker and stronger with time, bending the elements he was never taught to fear. Caelia, the estate's fierce heir, is the only one who sees past the silence and the shadows. Their bond forms slowly over the years. But the world outside the woods is cruel, and alliances are heavier than love. When Vaeren is forced from the estate, old wounds turn into grudges. Years later, he returns. Richer, remade by anger and ambition, carrying the belief that he was left behind by the one person who mattered. A story of longing, resentment, and love tangled in silence and storm. **Author's Note** This short story was written for The Wuthering Heights Reimagined Contest. I don't live in the U.S., so I know I'm not eligible to win the prize, but honestly, I didn't write this for that. I wrote it because I love this kind of story and couldn't get it out of my head. Wuthering Heights has always stuck with me. This is my take on that feeling, just told in my own way. Maybe one day I develop this more, instead of being a short story withso many details being left out. Thanks for reading and letting me share this anyway.

    On the rugged coast of Saint Andrews, the cliffs keep their secrets-and so does the boy who walks them. Callum McGregor has always felt different. Haunted by a quiet ache he can't explain, he moves through life like a shadow, longing for something he's never known. His only solace is the feel of the earth beneath his bare feet and the heavy weight of a stone turning slowly in his hand. Some days, it's enough. Most days, it isn't. Granius, the ancient god of earth and stone, has spent centuries in silence-watching, waiting, never intervening. Until the day he sees Callum standing at the edge of the world, sorrow in his eyes and a question in his soul. For the first time in hundreds of years, the god takes form. For the first time, he reaches out. What begins as a divine curiosity soon becomes something deeper, more dangerous. As Granius and Callum grow closer, the ground beneath them shifts-both figuratively and literally. But gods were not made to love mortals, and mortals were never meant to love gods. In a world where desire can move mountains and devotion can crumble worlds, what will they sacrifice to hold on to each other? And when the earth finally demands its price... who will be left standing?
