Carribean Stories

Balin Van Buuren, a once-renowned swashbuckling novelist fallen on hard times, attempts to reclaim his former fame by writing a book based on a mysterious journal acquired in a London tavern. Though the novel proves a commercial failure, its publication triggers an unforeseen chain reaction: it draws the attention of the Spanish Empire, the wrath of the Holy Office, and the ambitions of pirates, viceroys, and elves alike-all convinced that the journal contains more than mere fiction. Set against the backdrop of early eighteenth-century New Spain and the Caribbean, this is a tale of adventure without heroes-only characters driven by desperation, ambition, or the need to survive, locked in a deadly race for a treasure believed to be legendary... and dangerously real. The fusion of colonial history and dark fantasy shapes a novel for readers drawn to intrigue, complex worlds, and stories where every secret comes at a cost.

If it's one thing Phoenix Charles knew, it's that not all that glitters is gold. So when Kai Bae - Hockey superstar, 3 time 'Most Handsome Man' winner and all of Toronto's most eligible bachelor - suddenly took interest in her and only her, she knew something was off, she knew she should run for the hills. Fairytales, Prince Charming and happily ever afters were nothing short of a fantasy to coo little kids to sleep. Phoenix was sure. So how was one night, one conversation, one look in those brown eyes enough to have her sold? To have her muting the volume on her common sense that screamed at her to shut it down? She scored the jackpot! Or so she thought. Heartbreak is one thing. Couple that with betrayal and twisted secrets and even the most solid fairytale is not immune to coming to an end. Again Phoenix is reminded, there is no such thing as happily ever afters, no such thing as a prince out there waiting for her. She kissed the frog, married the beast, expecting the best, only to quickly realize he is nothing short of a fraud... or is he? ~•~•|•~•~ "There is a season for everything... A time to born and a time to die... A time to love and a time to hate" Ecclesiates 3:1, 2 and 8

She always gets what she wants. He's the one thing she might not. Money. Power. Attitude. And a past that follows him everywhere. ......

A tired cruise passenger named Raven is pulled from the grip of a violent storm by Kristoff, a hybrid creature born of both siren and merfolk blood. After being cast out by his ocean kin for choosing to save a human, Kristoff makes a desperate bargain: he trades his magical singing voice to a sea wizard in exchange for the chance to live a human life on land. He eventually finds his biological father, Jonathan, who guides him through the strange realities of gravity, fashion, and social etiquette, all while uncovering a dark history of family sabotage. Kristoff manages to land a job at the same company as Raven, but he has to carefully mask his superhuman strength and mysterious past from her and his skeptical boss, Mr. Alvarez. Even though she is still reeling from her near-death experience, Raven finds herself inexplicably drawn to the "new" Christopher, never realizing he is the mythical protector hidden within her fractured memories.
