The Hellhound's Mate
When Jordan Parrish was drawn to the small town of Beacon Hills, he never expected to find the existence of the supernatural there. He never intended to find out that he was supernatural there. And he especially didn't expect to find her there. Angie Stilinski is the fiery daughter of the Sheriff, and the last person he was ever expected to kiss, much less fall in love with. But when she turns out to be the only person able and willing to help him discover what he is and how to control his powers, Jordan discovers that he has absolutely no control over how he feels about Angie. Similarly, Angie Stilinski has been through a lot, more than maybe even the Hale's some might say. And her past has left her guarded to everyone but her father, baby brother and childhood best friend, at least until Jordan comes around. But despite their ability to always find each other and a connection neither one can explain, in a town like Beacon Hills, there's no such thing as a fairytale happy ending. #1 in jordanparrish #1 in derekhale #2 in scottmccall #2 in hunters #5 in stilesstilinski #5 in teenwolf #9 in allison #25 in hellhound #26 in action-adventure #31 in mates (Teen Wolf: seasons 3B-6B) (Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or plotlines.

The Eyes Of Greystone
They came to write a story. Sylvermere had other plans. When five young journalists arrive in the forgotten town of Sylvermere to investigate the ruins of Castle Greystone, they expect whispers, legends, and eerie locals. What they find is a house that breathes, weeps, and watches. Its halls remember everything... especially them. "If I met you in another life, I would've written you poems instead of warnings. I would've kissed you in the rain instead of vanishing into it. But time hasn't been kind to me. I've lived in silence so long, even my heart forgot how to beat. Yet you..." he paused, voice low, breaking like old glass... "You made the air feel warm again. You smiled at the cold and touched it like it wouldn't hurt you. Maybe that's why I wanted to protect you. Maybe that's why I fear what loving you might cost." Aaron Greystone, the castle's only heir, lives among silent maids and unanswered questions. Cold. Beautiful. Untouched by time. Drawn to HER, he warns her to leave before it's too late. His gaze held hers, one eye storm-grey, the other night-black... timeless, tragic, eternal. But the house has waited too long. And it doesn't like letting go. "Even if I don't belong in your world, my heart has already chosen you. And some loves," he whispered, "don't need life to live." These are the Eyes of Greystone. ── ᯓᡣ𐭩 ── Started: , 2025, . Ended:Complete
Wanted The Outlaw
Some fires don't burn out - they become you. Jane was born in the dust of the Nebraska Territory, baptized in violence and raised beneath the boot of the God-fearing congregation. By the time she's a woman, she's no stranger to pain - or to running. Branded a criminal, hunted across the West, she trusts no one. Especially not men with law badges and silver tongues. Until she meets him. The sheriff is steady, haunted, too good for the territory that bred him. Without realising she is the outlaw that he's tracking, he offers her shelter during a storm - nothing more. But Jane has survived by reading men like maps, and she sees it in him: desire, reined in tight. Jane stepped closer. The sheriff's walls were plastered with her crimes - wanted posters, notes, crude sketches of her own face. And now Jane stood between them and the man hunting her. He'd brought whiskey. She smiled. "Tryin' to get me drunk, Sheriff?" His chuckle was slow. "Just bein' decent." She moved closer, each step a gamble. If he saw the posters in the lamplight, he'd surely recognise her. No. She had to keep him looking at her. Only her. A button slipped free. The sheriff's jaw tightened. "You don't have to do that." "I know," she said, and closed the last inch between them. It began slow, a breath shared, a thread pulled taut - then it snapped. His mouth met hers, rough and unrelenting. There was no tenderness, only heat. Her back hit the wall, her shirt slipped, and his hands roamed like fire. She had used her body as a weapon before. But this was surrender, too - fury and need burning under her skin. Outside, the storm battered the shutters. But the real storm was here. And through it all, Jane kept her eyes on the wanted posters above the bed. Her own face stared back. Wanted: The Outlaw is a work of historical fiction that dangles religion, redemption, and extremely steamy romance on the end of the hangman's rope.Complete

The Hollow That Hums (First Edition) (Rough Draft)
**This book is not the final version; this is my non-edited rough draft. **** In the forgotten town of Grayer's Hollow, silence is sacred-because when it breaks, something wakes. When twelve-year-old Caleb Vayne vanishes from a school parking lot without a trace, grief coils around the community like fog on the moors. But five days later, Caleb returns... alone, barefoot, and blank-eyed, humming a tune no one's ever heard before-and no one wants to hear again. He speaks rarely. Sleeps even less. And when people start dying in the ways they fear most, some begin to suspect the boy who came back isn't quite the boy who left. Now, retired criminal profiler Avery Holt, haunted by her own demons, is pulled into a case where the lines between psychology and the supernatural are razor-thin. Teaming up with local sheriff David Rourke, she begins to unravel a conspiracy tied to the town's long-buried secret: a stretch of forest known as The Hollow, a place the old folks say hums when it's hungry. But what no one realizes is that Caleb didn't just survive the Hollow. He brought something back with him. And it only protects him.
