Summers in Purchase, TX bring two things to the Lune family: long mornings in Eclair de Lune and the ballad of Gentleman Ben.
August can't come quickly enough for seventeen-year-old Tamsin Lune. When she isn't working in her mother's doughnut shop or waiting for her father's gallery schedule to bring him back to Texas, Tamsin spends her time packing her extensive library for college and riding her bicycle through the town at twilight dawn, all while ruining her ears with angry Scandinavian music.
When Tamsin discovers a family heirloom hidden in her attic, she begins to wonder just how many of the stories surrounding her mother's heritage are true. But before she can properly investigate, she finds herself falling into the dark and twisted world of Perchance -- a land commanded by century-old promises and rivaling ancestries and toxic, black magic. The only thing keeping Tamsin safe is the thing everyone in Perchance is after: a gold pocket-watch with a raven etched into the face's cover.
Will Tamsin make it back to Purchase alive? Can she satisfy a debt that is generations in the making? Or will she succumb to the destructive power of Perchance?

Heir of Charms
Destruction. In a family of healers who save, all I do is destroy. My enforced solitude is for my own safety as well as that of the world, or so my mother tells me. When the boy next door beckons, I can't help but sneak out to forge a friendship with him. Loneliness leads me to defy my family, but desperation prevails when I discover that the grounds of his private academy hold a secret that could help me learn why my ability is so disastrous . . . or push me to create a catastrophe that will bring only death and destruction. *** Merith Leigh has decided to give herself the best sixteenth birthday present ever: freedom. She's spent the last two years in silent communication with Taran, the boy next door, and his encouragement to meet him beyond their bedroom window views has tempted her to finally break free of her family's bonds. With a leap of faith, she trusts Taran with her future, and he takes her to meet his friends at his private academy, where a secret society that studies magic lurks with secrets of their own. Can Taran and his classmates help her discover why she carries the gift of destruction rather than her family's skill at healing, or will their association prove deadly?Завершенная история
Love, Lies & Immortal Ties - Whitby Shadows Series Book 1
I moved to Whitby expecting my days to be filled with grief and heartache while I watched my father die. But turns out the town has much more to offer a teenage girl like me. His name is Marcus Davenport. Rich. Powerful. Admired by the locals. Not. Human. If I were smart, I would have run the other way when I realized what he was. But there's this undeniable pull between us, a heartbeat that brings us both to life whenever we're together. I convinced myself it was fate drawing lines in the sand, the beginning of a love story that would end with forever. But I was wrong. Turns out the blood running through my veins is tied to Marcus in a way that corrupts everything we feel for each other. It's no longer something I can trust. Nothing is as it seems. The paranormal residents of Whitby altered my reality forever, and now I'm caught in a web of dark secrets and deadly deceits. The future is more uncertain than it has ever been, and I have no idea what's going to happen between Marcus and me.

Eclipsed By Fate
When destiny calls, even the shadows must answer. After the death of his grandmother, 24-year-old Luka Montgomery discovers a truth that shatters his ordinary life: he is a caster, born into a legacy of magic he never knew existed. With his grandmother's cryptic letter as his only guide, Luka learns he has until his 25th birthday to master his craft-or face certain death at the hands of Lorena, his corrupted and power-hungry aunt. Armed with a mysterious spellbook and a desperate hope, Luka embarks on a journey to unlock his latent powers, navigating a world of werewolves, witches, and ancient magic he never imagined was real. But Luka isn't alone. Aiden Reede, the future Alpha of the Blood Crescent Pack, is everything Luka isn't: confident, strong, and deeply rooted in the supernatural world. When their paths collide, Aiden's instincts tell him one thing-Luka is his fated mate. Yet, with Luka's life hanging in the balance and Lorena's shadow drawing closer, Aiden must tread carefully. Revealing the truth could overwhelm Luka, but keeping it hidden risks everything. As Luka faces trials of magic, battles rogue wolves, and uncovers the secrets of his family's dark past, he and Aiden grow closer, their bond deepening with each step. But time is running out. Lorena's power grows stronger, and her hunt for Luka grows more relentless. To survive, Luka must embrace his destiny, master his magic, and trust in the bond he shares with Aiden-even if it means risking everything he's ever known. In a world where light and shadow collide, Eclipsed by Fate is a tale of magic, destiny, and the unbreakable bond between two souls fated to change each other's lives forever.Завершенная история
Rejecting the Alpha
I glared up at him my eyes narrowed, "Excuse me?" I was beyond livid by the words that just came out of his mouth. My glare didn't falter when Parker towered over me, clenching his jaw while trapping me against his desk. "You heard me." Parker's voice was low and intimidating that it made me feel so small. But I wasn't going to let him get to me. Standing up taller, I snapped, "I will not be your personal toy, available for you to do just as you please! I do not want to be held captive against my will, and not even have a say in anything. To be honest, I don't even want a mate." "You will do everything and anything I say, do you hear me?" Parker growled grabbing my chin and forcing me to look at him. Without even thinking I said the first thing that came to my head but meant every word. "I, Jasmine Davis, reject you Alpha Parker Mason, as my mate." * Jasmine Davis is the daughter of the Beta of the Moonlit Waters Pack. She's sarcastic and having a mate is that last thing on her mind. Jasmine gets the attention of most of the male population in her pack but she ignores them. What happens when Jasmine's mate happens to be the ruthless Alpha of the neighboring pack, the Lunar Shadow Pack. What happens when she doesn't want a mate especially, Alpha Parker? * [Highest rank: #1] [WARNING] - mild language and some steamy scenes* [Unedited] Read at your own risk!

She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her.

A Touch of Magic

Guided by the cat who's been following her around, and her dead aunt's sidekick Gladys Jones, Minta begins by fixing problems with bullies, and finding Prince Charming for her b.f.f. Who'd of thought there were so many Cinderella's in need of makeovers? It's not long before Minta wants change her own romantic fortunes too (it's worked for everyone else). But life is never that simple and as Minta grapples with her future, there are others trying to stop her from having one. But who and why? Minta hasn't a clue. Though she does have her suspicions about the cat... Eventually, sacrificing her own (and very human) desires to follow her path, Minta's destiny becomes clear; this is a story of self-belief and resolution, first crushes & love (and the journey towards grasping the difference). Mostly though, this is a book about magic. Cover kindly made by @alessandraЗавершенная история
