Abandoned to his fate, a shapeshifting gargoyle is trapped until she sets him free...
A gargoyle betrayed by his soldiers...
After centuries of stone-cold death, Garrett discovers his legion has deserted him. Without their help, he'll succumb to eternal sleep once more unless he can trick the woman who woke him into trusting him with her soul.
A combat veteran scarred inside and out...
Her last night in Afghanistan, Raquel Guerrero's team fell victim to a suicide bomber, killing everyone but her. Now, despite her determination to never again let anyone close, her sense of duty compels her to help an endangered warrior survive.
Trust isn't in their vocabularies...
A tentative truce frees them to investigate his regiment's abandonment-and unleashes passionate temptations. But when the truth is uncovered, Garrett and Raquel's fragile bond-and the healing power of love-might be the only thing that keeps them alive.

The Hunter's Oath
I was hired to capture her, nothing more. She was just another job-another fugitive to bring in. But the deeper I dug, the more I realized she wasn't the criminal they claimed. She was running from something far bigger, and now, so was I. Protecting her wasn't part of the plan, but watching her fight for her life, for the truth, forced me to face my own ghosts. The ones I thought I'd buried. With every step, the shadows around us grew darker, and the danger more real. But one thing became clear: I'd burn it all down before I let anyone touch her.

Isabel's Choice
Lunas are revered. Lunas are loved. Lunas are protected. Chosen by Alpha of the Southern River Border, Isabel is none of these. Isabel cleans herself thoroughly, meticulously, trying to get rid of the soot that covers her soul. Lars is a hybrid, a wolf shapeshifter with Waverider powers. He is quite skilled with water spells, but his core freezes when he discovers that his true mate has already been claimed by another. Lars is willing to fight for what is his to revere, love and protect. Until the ghosts appear. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "But I still have to do one thing today. Strip," he orders, and I stare at him in shock, watching him swiftly remove his jacket and t-shirt. "What? No!" I cross my arms tighter on my chest, but then instantly regret my audacity. If he's anything like his predecessor, my protest will just spur him on. "Suit yourself," he shrugs and his pants fly over the other clothes piled at his feet. Standing tall in front of me, he speaks in the low voice that effortlessly controls the minds of his wolves: "I have no intention of touching you, Isabel. But my beast fought for his mate and he will run with her tonight. Shift." ----------- This story contains mature content and triggering themes.

What if you discovered a world like no other, but knew no way back? And yet, the only way to stay- and survive- was by leaving your past self behind, body and mind?

The four girls, whose paths would have never crossed, find themselves in the midst of a mysterious railroad tunnel. With an inkling for adventure, they enter, only to emerge in a world straight out of a fantasy novel, a country called Alysia. It isn't long, however, before they find themselves in the middle of a decades-long Civil War between the forces of Heaven- Arcadia- and Hell- Abaddonia... and realize that going home isn't going to be as simple as they believe. The road home would be more than just a yellow brick road traversed in ruby slippers; in order to survive, they will have to grow up- in more ways than just one. With no other choice, each finds herself wrapped up in the adventure of a lifetime as, together, they fight to stay true to themselves. For Kylie, Celeste, Beatrice, and Mina, it would indeed be a while before they could ever turn back. A/N: Thank you to everyone who checks out my story.
