My Fucked Up Fairytale
TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: When college student Cyra finds her life falling apart after a brutal breakup, she wishes for an escape-only to awaken in a realm filled with sword-wielding vampires, deadly elves, and more fantastical creatures. Unfortunately for Cyra, she's been chosen to marry a powerful vampire prince... and kill him. Trapped between survival and a dagger with a destiny, she must navigate a world where fairytales come soaked in blood, sarcasm, and forbidden attraction.

The villa becomes chaotic with the presence of Suryavanshi's next generation. The four children of the three brother's have grown up and are well established in society. The two brothers are sober like rabbits and the two sisters are naughty like monkeys of course the lady monkeys. What will happen when the chaos is going to meet the serenity? The four are the lives of each other. If needed either they are ready to give their life for one another or they can take anyone's life if anyone tries to harm any of them. Let's embrace them with blessings and love. So that they can find their soulmate and find home in them. The journey is like a Rollercoaster ride. At one moment you may be fearing to lose your power when the wheel goes to the top and the next moment laughing like a happy soul when it comes down. Four people, four different stories in one book. FINDING HOME IN YOU is totally different from what we've read in HOME TO YOU.

Moon Bound/Blood Bound Duology
This is a rough first draft Part 1/Book One-ish currently not available and in the professional editing stage for publishing. Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers 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: (new blurb coming soon) They are fated, but it's complicated. He would give anything to have her, except her life. She would give anything to have him, including her life.

ORIGIN (#3, Gods Among Us)
When Loki's consort and soulmate marries his rival to save their son from a curse, a prophecy leads to consequences even the God of Chaos couldn't predict. *** The Unseelie Goddess of War's revenge against Asgard's Dark Prince puts him in a no-win scenario with a choice between losing his soulmate or his son. Bad enough that damn Atlantean prince saved Shannon when Loki couldn't, but now Elatha is saving Loki's son by stealing his mate. Neither outcome will leave Shannon and Loki's relationship unchanged. While some of Shannon's Unseelie relatives have no issue with killing her son, others aren't so blase about the curse. Yet it's the prophecy at Shannon's birth that's brought Elatha and Shannon together in this arranged marriage. When betrayal strikes, it may be the key to saving not just her son, but Loki's soul as well. The prophecy hints at a chance to right a mistake that has haunted him, but it will require more soul-searching than Loki is comfortable with. Wait until he finds out he'll have to get along with his rival Elatha to achieve their goals. FINAL STORY IS AVAILABLE at all major retailers. The first few chapters of the early draft are here to get a sense of the story. If you want to read it for free and review, a Booksirens link is provided.
