England, 1895
Diana Westenra does not fit in the small city that saw her grow up. A self-declared spinster with an unhealthy curiosity, a strong opinion and a library to match, the young woman has failed for years in the only task her family gave her: securing a suitable husband.
With her hopes withered after spending time in France, she comes back to Purfleet to care for her sick mother and organize the marriage of Lucy, her younger sister, already engaged to a gentleman. There, new and old friendships await.
But a monster arrives in England and sinks her family into despair, changing her life forever. Thrown into a battle that defies her beliefs and the foundations of her very soul, Diana will have to choose between the darkness and the light of her own heart to rise to the occasion...or fall. Through it all, the words she spills on her journal are the only thing keeping her almost safe from insanity.

Trinity (A Werewolf Novel) ✔
[Completed] Every Wolf Moon, humans are selected from each village to be sacrificed to the werewolves; creatures worshipped by humans as godlike figures. In a twist of fate, seventeen year old Mila Young is selected to be the annual sacrifice for the Trinity pack, the most powerful pack ruled by King Alpha Roman Stone. Alpha Roman and all werewolves under his rule are cursed. His hatred for the humans and his war on the deity Moon Goddesses has caused his kind to lose the favor of their blessings. However, when Mila reveals herself to have a connection to the werewolves unlike anything a human has ever had before, it becomes apparent that she may be the key to ending the suffering of Roman and his wolves... if only he can overcome the lifelong hatred that clouds his mind and darkens his heart. Excerpt: "You smell like wolf," The King Alpha declared, his voice low and angry. "I killed one," I both explained the smell and threatened at the same time. "And you think you can kill me? You think you can take my pack?" I glanced around at all the lycans still in their wolf forms, bowing obediently towards me. Could I take all of them on? I doubted it. I didn't even think I'd get this far. I didn't even know what was going on. When I turned back to the King Alpha, he was significantly closer. "Stay back!" I cried out in fear. The power flared within me once more, lifting whimpers from around me. The King Alpha hesitated again, his eyes skating over me with confusion. He took a deep breath, sniffing the air around me as he hadn't yet gotten any closer. "You smell like... my mate." {{Warning: Some scenes may be unsuitable for audiences below the age of 15 and offensive to those of all ages.

Wife of Vladimir ||Book One||
"I ignored the anger I had felt all night and morning. I had always wanted to marry for love, and this didn't feel like it. My lifelong plan had come to an end, and it wasn't because I succeeded. Father had forced my hand because he was worried about me being alone. I could handle it when the time would come, but it wasn't anytime soon. I didn't understand his concern then as I do now. I heard the doors above the stairs creak upon and the shuffle of skirts following. I forced myself to keep my eyes upon the window as my heart started to race from nerves. This was it. This was the moment that would change my life for better or for worse. I thought of my father and how upset with him I was. This wasn't the life I wanted. 'Sire.' Franklin whispered, already facing the direction of the stairs. 'Your bride is here.' I held my breath. Despite my hatred for Invea and this plan my father had come up with, she didn't deserve to be the brunt of my anger. I needed to be civil. I represented Transylvania. I kept my eyes upon the floor as I turned, unsure if I was willing to face the truth just yet. I didn't feel ready. 'Don't be rude. She's watching you.' Franklin whispered into my ear before stepping away, letting me have the moment on my own. With hesitation coursing through my veins, I began to raise my eyes to look upon her; upon my future wife. Heat rushed to my cheeks as I finally saw her. My heart stopped, and I momentarily forgot how to breathe once I saw her smiling down at me. For the first time, and hardly the last time, in my life, I was left utterly speechless." ~~~ The beautiful cover was made by dysanic. ❤️ Want more content?

All the Things Between Us
She began to fear every sound since she had met him. With every step she looked over her shoulder. Fear of him kept her wary. Trying to run from the nightmare he put her through was all that mattered, but the pain of being away from half of your soul was almost as unbearable as the fear motivating her. Diana had been without love for a very long time, and it doesn't seem like that's going to change. With the constant cruelities of her life, and only more to come, all that matters is escape. Escape by any means necessary. Life is rarely fair. Life on the run is even worse. Book 2 The art I used as the starting point for the cover was done by Antonio MoraComplete
