The Blue Desert is the second book in The Lake Stone Trilogy.
"Everyone deserves a home where they have someone that they love with them."
Valhanan is the eldest daughter of Eada and the king of Vasda. Since before her birth, she was promised in marriage to the general of her father's army. Only when she turns fifteen does she learn of it. No matter how much she and her mother beg King Spyre to break the engagement, he will not.
In an effort to hide from the arrangement, Valhanan retreats into the comforting stories from her childhood. She always dreamed of travelling to visit Tria, the land of her mother's stories, but she knew it was impractical. That is, until her mother gives her a chance to escape the engagement.
Anan must travel out of Vasda; must leave her home forever to find a safe haven in the palace of Tria with Eada's brother the emperor. But ever since the king of Vasda betrayed the emperor, there has been no contact between the two countries. Could they ever believe that Anan is the daughter of their beloved empress? And even if they could, would they ever accept her?

The Beastkeeper's Temptation
In a world where both the sands and the heart are unyielding, Miss Calliope Wright must learn that courage is born of hardship-and that love is often found where you least expect it. Lady Calliope Wright has always been the obedient daughter of an earl, living under her father's strict expectations. But as her arranged marriage to the uninspiring Sir Reginald draws near, Callie's longing for freedom becomes impossible to ignore. In an uncharacteristic act of bravery, she escapes to the Sahara, determined to find her brother Robert, the only one who's ever truly supported her. Her hope? That Robert might help her escape this fate, or even convince their father to call off the marriage. Lord Samuel Wright, however, is quick to act when he learnt that his daughter's attempt at escape when awry. Discovering that Callie had secretly joined Mrs. Addilyn Holt's notorious matchmaking service before her disappearance, he enlists Rogane To'ran-a reclusive Beastkeeper known for his skill in tracking and his bond with hounds abandoned by London's wealthy. Though Rogane has little interest in rescuing spoiled heiresses, loyalty to Mrs. Holt sends him on a pursuit across treacherous sands. In the depths of the desert, Callie finds herself captured by ruthless traders who plan to auction her. Rogane arrives just in time to free her, and together, they face the desert's brutal heart. For Callie, it's a journey of self-discovery and courage; for Rogane, a test of resolve as he fights a growing attraction to the woman he's bound to return home. This fourth book in a fantasy romance series promises adventure, survival, and forbidden love. Each book can be read as a standalone, but they're best enjoyed in order!
The Empty Ones (Fantasy Romance)
In the realm of Quomared, which occupies the biggest part of the continent, magic is a scarce and precious resource. Fewer and fewer humans are born magic bearers throughout the last decades. Zaretha is the only daughter of the Alsayid, religios leader and grand mage of the country, the most powerful still-living sorcerer on the continent in service of the emperor. She is, however, born empty, magicless, to everyone's disappointment. An attempt at a coup d'etate takes place after her twelfth birthday, and her father is assassinated under mysterious circumstances. An orphan now, she is brought to live in The Priory of the White Stones, a home for girls from families that have or had magic-bearing members. They are schooled to be concubines or wives that a noble family can acquire for their heir, because even if magic-less, they still carry the gene and have a fifty percent chance to bear a magic-yielding child. __________________ Mentions: Please don't copy and all that. It makes no sense; just write your own story :). My stories are for mature audience. There will be violence, gore, explicit sex and other stuff not meant for kids. Proceed at your own risk. I will point out the more intense ones but questionable stuff might be all over so if you are sensitive DO NOT read. English is not my first language, feel free to point out the spelling errors, I always appreciate that. I am generally always really happy about Feedback. :) To set expectations correctly, this is my most high fantasy leaning, lore heavy book. It will take time till you get to the romance. Once you get there, there will be stuff 😏 but till then only crumbs. 😂Completa

His public persona is that of a handsome, arrogant young second lieutenant, while behind the scenes, he is "Commander Joe," a daunting superhero feared by villains. Everything in Dean's life is perfect-wealth, fame, and an unending entourage of beautiful women-yet he remains uninterested, focused solely on the mission of combating evil and upholding his family's honor. Until the day he meets "Halo," a young man with an extraordinarily beautiful face. Dean, who has never been interested in romance, unexpectedly loses his first kiss to this beautiful stranger. The young man is unaware whether Halo is a nefarious villain or someone else entirely; all he knows is that beneath that stunning facade lies a wicked spirit. Halo destroys everything Dean once held dear, trampling all over his dignity without remorse. Dean hates this person intensely... yet for some reason, his body and deep-seated desires show a contrary reaction.

King of Harts
Emory Hart is a simple woman. She loves her family, enjoys her trips to the book store and to the coffee shop and she can never turn down her best friend when it comes to random nights full of chaos. She's content. All it takes is one run in with the one person she never seemed to win over and a surprise visit from her brother to shift Emory's whole world on its axis. After two years of successfully avoiding him, Emory's "simple" and "content" are about to morph into something a bit more frustrating and confusing and it comes in the form of her brothers best friend. Adrian Harley is a man of control. He's easy going and has charmed his way into the hearts of the entire Hart family. Emory has always been his biggest challenge. It's not because he can't win her over with the same easy going routine he uses with everyone else. It is simply because he can't find himself wanting to. No, what Adrian seeks from Emory is something much more intense. Darker. It's only because of his relationship with her brother that he swallows all of those urges for the sake of his closest friend and his own sanity. When Adrian offers his guest room to his best friend, he comes face to face with the one thing he can't have and his self control begins to snap. Adrian finds himself crossing the one line that was silently drawn when befriending the Harts. The line that leads to the one woman he isn't allowed to want. He's unleashed. Obsessed even. And she thinks he hates her.Completa

Daughter of Beorn: The Hobbit Fanfiction
~ The sequel to "Daughter of Beorn" has been released! Check it out! It's called "The Skin-Changer Prophecy." ~ Gandalf looked down at the small child partially hidden behind the skin-changer's legs. Her green eyes sparkled as she tossed a small pebble at the stranger's feet before giggling. The mischevious little one then toddled off a bit to chase a butterfly that had caught her attention. "She cannot stay here." Beorn said. "It is unsafe for a child. I do not want her to... be exposed. To my other form." "You seem to forget that she is your daughter." The wizard replied, shifting as a small breeze came through the forest. "And I am not trained in the art of raising children." The two men momentarily turned their gazes back to young Kyja, who was too occupied following the winged insect. Compassion soon struck the wizard's heart. "Yet... there is someone that could care for her. He is an odd fellow, relates more to animals than any other living creature- but he is genuinely kind, and will be able to assist Kyja in the following years. Radagast the Brown is his name." And so, the journey begins. Far into adulthood, Kyja is introduced to a completely new world when Gandalf proposes an offer- to join a band of dwarves to help them save their homeland. Haunted by past memories and scars, the skin-changer is forced to come to terms with her own history while accepting the new fate she has been given. Humility, love, and sacrifice are only some of the lessons learned in: Daughter of Beorn. ~ All ideas, concepts, and plot lines pertaining to The Hobbit all belong to J.R.R. Tolkien. Nevertheless, the creation of Kyja and any additional characters not in the original piece are mine. The cover photo is not mine. ~Completa

The story starts directly after his capture moving fairly quickly through the first few years. Hope you enjoy :) ****Most people who escaped a captor would run and never look back. Gemma isn't most people. What would happen if the tables turned? What happens when the captive runs back towards the captor? In the years after her abduction, Gemma tries to adjust back to her normal life but that doesn't seem to be happening. As a last resort Gemma feels the only way to quiet the noise is to head right back to where it all began. The desert. **** *Completa

Encantadia: Panata ng Pag-ibig at Himagsik
In a realm guarded by four elemental gems-Fire, Water, Earth, and Air-the balance of Encantadia is once again threatened. From the frozen world of Mine-ave rises Mitena, the Ice Queen, with a single purpose: to extinguish the light and enslave the elements under her rule. But in the heart of the cold, fire is reborn. Pirena, former Queen of Hathoria, returns from exile-not just as a monarch, but as a mother, a warrior, and a bearer of hope. Upon her return, she is confronted by a ghost from her past: Azulan, the father of her child, the man she long believed to be dead... now a general in the very army that once crushed her kingdom. Between them lies a love long buried-scarred by betrayal, silence, and years of separation. While Azulan walks the razor's edge as a spy within Mitena's court, Pirena struggles to keep her distance, torn between trust and fear. How do you love a man who vanished in the dark? And how do you forgive him when you still don't understand why? Together with their daughter Cassandra and a new generation of Sang'gres, they must face the wounds of the past, the secrets of the present, and a war that will decide the fate of their world. At every turn, hearts will clash with duty, rage will wrestle with forgiveness, and fire will meet ice. In the end, the question is not who holds the most power-but who is willing to fight for the light... and for love. An epic tale of family, betrayal, redemption, and a love that never truly died. A new generation. A new flame. A new Encantadia.
