Emery Knight had learned, time and again, that a fairytale happy ending wasn't in her destiny. With a talent with words, of mixing reality with fiction but believing she doesn't, she abandoned her dream of becoming an author. In York, as a college student, she struggled with part-time jobs to keep her head above water. When a paid internship, involving someone she never thought she would meet again, knocked at her door, her world turned upside down.
Elijah Hale had always known he wouldn't be able to chase his dreams. As the third son of the baron, he had given up on his happiness, pushing himself to meet his father's expectation. When Emery slammed into his life, originally to help him meet the expectation, he began to question everything he had ever known.
What would happen when they find themselves with a chance at their dreams? Would they walk away or help each other find true happiness?

Unspoken
It has been almost 250 years since the nuclear World War VI that wiped out the majority of humanity ended. Since then, a government has risen, calling themselves the New Society. It's leaders have told the citizens that their only goals are to achieve absolute perfection, and to repopulate humanity. For almost two hundred years, the people have been told that life outside of the domed society is impossible, because the nuclear and atomic bombs destroyed most of the earth, and tore holes in the atmosphere during the war. The leaders say that the society is all that's left, and justice must be served. It was this that led to all descendants of WWVI leaders to be placed into institutions, where they are tortured and trained to serve their future masters. They are termed entertainers, and at the age of eighteen, they are auctioned off, left to the mercy of their owners. Entertainers are essentially concubines, but any relationship beyond slave and owner is strictly forbidden, and punishable by death. It's a risk many people are not willing to take, but there are exceptions to every rule. Nevaeh Williams has a past unlike the majority of the other entertainers. She's forbidden from sharing her past, but her experience has led her to both fear and despise the New Society. After two years in the institution, she's auctioned off to a young billionaire. Noah Ivanov is withdrawn and mysterious, hiding a secret of his own. As things heat up between them, a shaky truth comes to light that forces them together. A person from their separate yet intertwined pasts comes seems to haunt their every move, and they must secretly fight against the New Society, in order to discover their government's true plans. Can Nevaeh and Noah overcome the odds they face, and bring justice to someone they've both lost? Will they fall in love in the process? And most of all, will they be executed for learning of the New Society's true nature?Complete

✔️ The Unwanted Bride (Book One) **UNDER EDITING**
In a society rebuilt from the ashes of the Great War perfection isn't just expected-it's law. Every woman turning 20 is entered into The Marriage Process: a government-mandated matchmaking ritual where four men are hand selected by the government to ensure that their children would be perfect in the new society. It's a tradition that has never failed-until the arrival of Juniper Burks. Labeled a government mistake since birth and abandoned by her own parents, Juniper never thought she'd have to partake in the government-issued love game. She believed that since she was unwanted by the people who were suppose to love her unconditionally, so much so that they left, she would simple be exempt from participation. After all, no one would want her failed genes reproducing in society bent on becoming the strongest once again. But Juniper is dead wrong. Not only is she brought into the process, she is assigned the top four, most elite men to win her hand. Is this her redemption... or has the government issued another experiment bound to fail?

Half Breed's Nightmare. (COMPLETED)
Audrey Mitchell is half werewolf half human. She has been moving town to town with her father for the past eight years, ever since she was ten. When she moved from the small little town outside Dallas Texas, to the town of Palatka Florida, she didn't think anything would change. She and her father would go to a new pack, he would train the upcoming alphas, and check to see if everything was going well. Meaning take notes and help better the pack. Then they would leave after a year or so to the next pack. Simple right? Well maybe not. Audrey has had nightmares since she was nine. I don't mean nightmares like some big bad monster is chasing her. Even though that can be the case at times. I mean someone (a man) the same man, tries (and succeeds) to kill her almost every night. What's different when she moves this time doesn't have anything to do with her nightmares, none whatsoever. No, the change in this move comes in the form of a different guy. But wait! It gets better! He turns out to be next in line alpha. And better yet! He's also her mate. This sarcastic eighteen year old spits fire (in the form of words) and doesn't put up with anything. But underneath that hard exterior is a girl who's afraid of her own dreams and the threat they cause her. One Human. One Werewolf. One King. Three men in her life that all want something from her. She just has to figure out what that is. Love and heartbreak are inevitable. Betrayal and Trust will be revealed. What could go wrong? Probably a lot, but still, what could go wrong?
