Nova's family has one enemy. An enemy so powerful, so far-off and impossible to face, he doesn't even seem like a real person anymore. He is simply the Dragon King. It has been so easy for Nova to hate him from afar, remember the atrocities he committed, all the thousands he slaughtered before signing peace treaties with all mortal races, and renouncing his savage ways.
Now he sits pretty in a brand new castle, in a brand new Capitol City he built to erase the memory of his own past. Yet to Nova's family, he will always be a threat. When they catch wind of his plan to demolish their family's home in the remote Heavenly Birch Forest to make room for his expanding treasure horde, Nova decides she can no longer sit back and do nothing. She sets out to the Capitol City, and works her way into a position as the Dragon King's maid. There, she hopes to blackmail the powerful beast into sparing her family's forest, and their lives.
When she finally meets the legendary Dragon King face to face, she finds a man so much more powerful - and beautiful, and lonely, and complicated - than she had ever imagined. Quickly she realizes all is not as it seems, and that everyone, even an ancient and terrifying Dragon King, deserves a second chance.

Code Red
What's the worst that can happen when you're forced to co-captain with your rival? Nova Shields can't stand Leo Hendrix. She hates his arrogance and obnoxiousness, that crooked smirk he does when he thinks he's right. Leo can't stand Nova's wits, the way she folds her arms and quirks her eyebrows. The way he can never read what's happening behind those green eyes. After a combined black operation was almost sent awry in '99 as a result of their constant disagreements, the pair vowed to never work alongside each other again. That is until Leo's partner suddenly loses his life in '02, leaving Commander North no choice but to bring in the only officer capable of filling the void: Nova. Their partnership ignites with animosity, a consequence of the lingering grudge. They can't seem to find that comradeship the Commander longed for. That is until they discover how once they work together without disagreeing, arguing and trying to wring each others necks, they can in fact form an unstoppable duo. A duo that transcends the operations they face; that forces them to confront the feelings they've been denying for so long. Feelings that only surface through the betrayals, bloodshed and near death experiences. Feelings that may be accepted, but only when it's too late. Then again, what's the worst that can happen? - UNEDITED Most impressive rankings: #1 in Rivals to Lovers 21/03/24 #1 in Special Ops 23/02/24 #14 in Young Adult 14/01/24 #8 in Enemies 14/01/24 18+ reader age.

Bound by fate
Nova disguise as a boy to enter the military school. If she is discovered as a girl, she will be kicked out. She is desperate to hide from trackers who have been following her for a dozen years. No one would think to look for her in an all-male military school. She hides among werewolves and is one of the very few nonshifters at the school. She catches the new instructor's curiosity, and her identity is threatened. He claims to be her mate, but she knows that her kind don't have a mate and desperately tries to avoid him. If he stumbles upon her true identity, she is screwed. "What are you doing?!" growls his highness, ripping the knife from my hands. It tingles as his fingers close around my wrist. Fresh blood flows from the wound, turning his hands red. Deep throaty sounds, rumbling in his chest. "You hurt yourself," he says softly, pain evident in his voice. I look up and frown. "It's just a small cut," I reply, annoyed. None of the other cadets get this kind of attention. Besides, we have to learn this to pass the exam. "Shhh, it's going to be okay," he says, pressing me close. My whole side explodes with sparks. It tickles me. "You have to stop hurt yourself. Why are you even here? How am I going to protect you here?" he asks angrily. "I don't need your protection!" I shout, pushing him away. I get an angry growl back. Quickly I grab another knife and throws it over my shoulder, hitting bulls' eye. He glares at me, and the room has gone completely silent. That's when I discover that I may have gone too far with the insanely possessive highness, even though I'm grateful for the extra lessons he gives me. Then suddenly everyone hurries out of the training area. Leaving me alone with the growling, red eyed alpha.
