Ashlynn Thorn does not know what she did wrong, but as she prepares for what is to come, she knows she is not going down without a fight. In Hemlighettopia children of all classes prepare for their once a year trial, which determines if they move to their next class, or what job they will do, who they will bond with, and most other major aspects of their lives. The most important of these choices being which children are expendable, and sent to the maze, to never appear again, their screams echoing across the kingdoms for all to hear. Once inside, Ashlynn must fight to survive, as well as discover the truth behind something far more sinister then the sacrifice of three or four children a year. A truth that hides behind centuries of lies and pain and fear. And a treasure that can bring it all crashing down.

His Forbidden Angel
{Book 1 of Deception series} "That's seriously what you think?" She asks in bewilderment. I scoff, "No its what I know. I watched it with my own two eyes Ashlynn." She chuckles sarcastically at my condescending tone. With a look of defiance in her eyes she leans forward so that her lips brush my own as she speaks, "I was right outside in the stairwell the entire time. I never left. I watched the end of the fight and then I went upstairs and had a drink with Emmaline. Margo left with the guys. I've been here this entire time." I clench my jaw and close my eyes. She has been exposed to the darkest parts of me over the years. Why didn't she run when she had the chance? She won't get another one; I won't let her leave now. "Look at me Jax." I blink my eyes open to find unshed tears in her own. "You are not your father," the conviction in her voice sends relief through me. I release her wrists but keep her caged against the lockers. Her newly freed arms wrap themselves around my neck and pull me so that my forehead rests against hers. Her body is pinned between mine and the locker which means I can feel every enticing inch of her. "I won't leave you; and I won't let your demons consume you." Her eyes stay closed during that statement only to open again with amusement dancing in them. Breathlessly she says, "But if you don't kiss me in the next two seconds I'm going to combust." My body hums in anticipation. This girl is going to be the death of me. +++ Ashlynn conceals her trauma behind a facade of perfection. Never a hair out of place, makeup to cover the bruises, outfits to hide the scars- all because she's afraid to appear weak. Jaxon chooses to embrace the trauma to fuel his anger. He uses fighting as a release. He is who he is and he's unapologetic about it. He can see the pain behind the illusion she creates. She looks past his anger to the complex emotions underneath. Will they be each other's salvation? Or will they choose to continue coping alone?
LET IT ALL BURN (Book II - House of Butterflies)
The narrative has given them another chance, a new page to rewrite their story. A new timeline. A new chance. Is history bound to repeat itself? - 'The blood of the butterfly had laced into her veins, burning into a longing, a yearning as ancient as time itself.' Katya Hawthorne doesn't know how to love. Duty, sacrifice, martyrdom--that is her destiny. Her frozen heart only knows her younger cousins, nothing and no one else, not even herself. But now they aren't here, and she is forced to confront the truths lying beneath the ice. Theo Hawthorne only knows how to be a chairman and the eldest Hawthorne cousin. Ruthless, powerful, warm to his younger cousins--that is all he is. Without their younger cousins, with only her, he must face the truest desires of his heart. He must face what it means to truly feel, what his ruthlessness will become when flooded with a love the likes of which his soul has never felt. But in the pursuit of rewriting history, they risked repeating it with their own two hands. And the flutter of a butterfly's wings could easily whirl into faithless devotion. - [Book 2 of the House of Butterflies series]
