"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
Sword of the Heart ~ Knight x Princess
Knight x Princess In a kingdom ruled by fear and tradition, lies a knight and a princess. A knight, cloaked in armor and rumor, wearing a mask that hides a soul weighed down by sorrow and hatred. A princess, being swallowed by expectation, overlooked by those too loud to notice her pain. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage neither of them chose, it is meant to be a sentence. A punishment for her, a strategy for him. But behind guarded eyes and sharp silences, something begins to stir. He sees the quiet fire in her that no one else bothered to notice. She sees the man behind the blade, the one who bleeds and the one who hides. In stolen glances. In late night conversations and lingering silence. She begins to see the man beneath the steel. He begins to hear the voice behind her silence. But love is dangerous in a world like theirs. Because secrets are buried deep within the castle walls. And neither of them truly knows the other's past... or what their union is truly meant to ignite. He was forged to destroy. She was taught to endure. Together, they may either save a kingdom or burn it to ash. When sword meets silence, when fear meets fury... what will be born of it? What destiny awaits when the fearsome knight's fury meets the silent strength of the quiet princess? Together, can they rewrite the fate that neither could face alone? *note~i do not own any pictures/images that are uploaded throughout the entirety of this book...all rights go to the rightful owners*

Guard of the Evergreen Princess
BOOK ONE!! Her voice was quiet, yet she answered with a bold sound as if to convince herself, as well as me. "I believe the love will come in time." My heart was beating hard and loud. I took a few deep breaths in an effort to slow it lest the Princess would hear. "And if it does not?" My question seemed to float in the air. No answer was given for quite a while, although her crystal eyes did not stray from mine. There were some footsteps moving in the hallway as the guards changed. The stained glass window creaked from the blowing wind outside. Rain began to patter. "Then my father was right," she all but whispered. "I must marry for the Evergreen Kingdom first."

Let Me In- A Dark Fantasy Love Tale
The moon hung heavy in the sky, a silent sentinel over the dense forest that stretched beyond the kingdom's walls. No one dared enter-at least, no one who valued their life. For within those woods, dark things moved, hidden creatures that whispered in the night, and a shadow far older than any living being. Lily had been told since she was a child to stay far from the forest's edge, its twisted trees and unseen dangers a story passed down through generations. But despite her parents' warnings and the countless nights she spent staring out her tower window, longing for the freedom the world beyond offered, she was always drawn to it. There was something in the air-the scent of adventure, the promise of a life beyond her gilded cage-that called to her. The castle, for all its grandeur, was a prison in her eyes. She was a princess, yes, but not the kind whose heart was ever truly free. Her life had been shaped by rules and expectations, and though she smiled and played the part, something inside her yearned for more. More than perfect gowns and endless balls. More than endless stories of a world she would never know. On the night of the setting sun, when the sky bled into a thousand hues of purple and orange, Lily could no longer resist. The pull was too strong. And so, she slipped away-quietly, unnoticed-into the very woods they had warned her to avoid. She didn't know what waited for her there, only that she had to go. It was a journey into the unknown, and it might very well be her last. But what awaited her in the heart of the forest wasn't a creature of nightmare, but something far more dangerous-a whisper on the wind, a voice that promised her everything she had ever dreamed of. A voice that said, "Let me in."Complete
