Tired of the life of lies her father had been forcing her to lead, Kalora Xandaria wanted to find another way to fill her life with purpose, and when she decided to chase down a thief through the desert to retrieve her stolen amulet, she finally got that chance. After she accidentally killed an elite warrior that her father had sent to retrieve her after she found her necklace and didn't return, she was unwillingly swept up into the politics of the four kingdoms and was forced to take his place as one of the Luvene, the peacekeepers of the continent. Stuck with three furious teammates, Kalora struggles to fit into her role in her new life, and when the high priest of Statera is murdered, and the same mark, a three-headed hawk, is found at the crime scene, identical to the one found when her mother and sister where burned alive in their mountain home, she has no choice but to delve into her haunting past to solve the murders before it's too late.

Alisha, Alison, and Alicia have always trusted their stepmother, Rose, but they're about to learn that everything they've known is a lie. Rose, determined to claim their father's wealth, manipulates the family in a cruel twist of fate. At just fifteen, Josh is coerced into replacing his twin brother, Jeff, and infiltrating Alicia's life. He is ordered to spy on her, all because Jeff is Alicia's closest friend.

Brave Enough To Love Again
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"Complete
Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete
