Taylor is unhappy with her life, with a dead-end job at Harold Bank Plc., a drinking problem, hardly any friends and no family.

But she was not expecting her life to get so drastically turned up-side-down after a rather hair-raising escape from a highly usual attack. She suddenly realises that there is much more to life than meets the eye; there is a world deliberately hidden, kept secret for centuries, and Taylor is suddenly in the middle of it! 

Talks of a secret government agency, horrific violent demons that can shape shift, a strange family who can transform into wolves and a portal to a place everyone calls the Underworld. She soon realises that she has to choose who to trust and who not to trust, as she is suddenly a prime suspect!

What is going on? Why is she a target? 

And why does she suddenly keep getting visions, hear voices and get strange undescribable senses, especially around that strange yet handsomely human-looking demon, Belphegor.

...Maybe he has the answers to the questions that have plagued her for years?

But it seems everyone has their secrets... some will make Taylor question life itself.

UPDATED WEEKLY He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper. Book Blurb: Dr. Willa Grey has developed a little bit of a performance problem... Willa has a plan for how she wants to spend her life. She even fought for a rare opportunity to attend human medical school. Unfortunately for Willa, the time among humans denying her wolf instincts has had dire consequences that could ultimately mean her life. Even worse, her homecoming falls on the eve of the Blue Moon Summit, when she will not only have to face her pack leaders but also some of the most powerful leaders from around the world, and she is terrified they could sniff out the truth. Just as she fears she could possibly lose her pack, and everything she has worked for, a chance encounter with a mysterious wolf on the night of the full moon ignites her mate bond and stirs her dormant wolf. Who is her mystery mate, and will he be her liberator or persecutor?

[2023 Wattys Shortlist, 2023 Amby Awards winner, Featured 4 times in Wattpad Picks lists] Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over. But that's all about to change. An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong? As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought. Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words] • Book 1 - The Return of the Gods • Book 2 - The Return to Irithara • Book 3 - The Return of the Lifebringer • Book 4 - The Aperios [Featured in Wattpad Picks lists: 'Extraordinary Realms ✨' in December 2023, 'Reading Radar' in January 2024, 'Celebrating Wattpad Hits' in February 2024, and Valiant Heroes 🏰✨🏔 in June 2024, and also on the @fantasy profile]

{WATTYS 2023 WINNER} • Book 1 of the Daegelus series • While hunting for his missing friend, Elijah stumbles upon a fiery journalist, who so happens to be looking for the same people as him: the doctors who experimented on him when he was a child. But when the two are forced to go on the run together, Elijah's healing wounds are opened, and he realises that Lyca Corp. took more than his childhood. ⊳⊱ ♕ ⊰⊲ The moment Elijah escaped from the lab where he unwillingly spent the past thirteen years of his life, he planned to live up to his promise: he'd find Haru, the only thing that kept him sane growing up.

After chasing his next lead, however, Elijah accidentally rescues Zoe, a journalist locked in his target's trunk. He has no choice but to bring her and her roommate, Jake, along with him as he flees the city to avoid capture.

[FEATURED IN WATTPAD PARANORMAL: Occult & Afterlife]. === After two seasons of grief from losing her mother, Charlotte finally felt good enough to look forward to the spring, a spring that had so far brought so much for her to be thankful about: She had earned her Ph.D, she had gotten a good job, and she began to do her side business again as a clown-for-hire for kids birthday party. It was all good, and to top it off: She would spend a few weeks with her archaeologist dad in Europe, he was doing some excavation project there. But that trip became a nightmare for her when the archaeologist team became perfect means to unearth what had been buried for centuries. Something that should have remained buried. A demon lurking beneath the earth. A secret order of immortals. A man with his own dark past and origin. A powerful weapon that could tilt the balance of the battle between the good and the evil. Charlotte was caught in the middle of it all, and the only way for her to have a chance to survive was this: A marriage between the light and the darkness.
