Book 1 of the Land of Green and Gold Trilogy
Escape. That had been Max's goal since the day he and his little sister, Lucy, had been torn from their mother and sold to a new master. A goal that would whisk Lucy away from the hard labor, skimpy meals, and cruelty of the taskmaster. But the opportunity never arose.
Then one day magic-a thing of stories, of something humans had stifled long ago-returns, and all Elder are given the mysterious command to travel to the unheard-of Land of Green and Gold. Chaos erupts as slaves use their new powers to escape. Max and Lucy plan their escape as well. Night comes. And everything goes wrong.
To Max's horror, Lucy is randomly selected to be beaten-a warning to those considering flight. Max escapes with his friend, Mary, instead, and they hide on the outskirts of the master's land to wait until Lucy is healed enough to flee. Then, a botched rescue mission and gun injury later, Max finds himself running even further away from his sister to rush Mary to a nearby Elder haven for help. During their stay at the haven, Max is confronted with a new problem; a chest-squeezing, cold-raking fear of the taskmaster hunts him. The hunt creeps into his nightmares and disconnects him from the shadows he should be able to control. And no magic means no way to save Lucy.
As the nightmares grow worse and the arrival of a serial killer further complicates things, Max fights to grow in his powers and overcome the hunt of fear. He will save Lucy. Even if it costs him his life.

Select
Gray has trained for over a decade to enter the rank of Select, an elite group that serves the realm's six courts. But first, she must impress court rulers during the Selection, where each court hosts dangerous tasks to test the Select. Gray is confident she'll be the top choice due to her rare fog magic and unyielding ambition until she fails to prevent the death of a lord during an attack. With the chance to prove herself worthy of a coveted position in the balance, she must persuade his only surviving son, Trystan, to support her in continuing in the Selection or risk dismissal. As the new lord, annoyingly handsome and stubborn Trystan is still a target with no allies, and he doesn't trust anyone, much less the woman he blames for his father's death. Desperate not to lose her chance at the future she knows she's worthy of, Gray shares a secret that could lead to her exploitation: she can access minds. She swears to use her magic to identify threats for Lord Trystan while he repairs the relationship between his court and others. Allied, they maneuver through the Selection, careful to keep a wall between duty and distractions, but secrets are being kept from them. Guards with haunted memories, brutal attacks along the borders, and people going missing in every court begin to stack up. All mention the same thing: an unnatural bright light- the same one Gray saw before Trystan's father died. Suddenly there isn't a clear definition of who the heroes or villains are. All Gray knows is that one side is offering her a title far grander than 'Select', but it will cost her everyone she cares about -- including the new lord she's beginning to fall for.Complete

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.Complete

Crossing Borders
Not being able to shift can really take its toll on someone. But for Lily, she's gotten used to it. Of course she craves to be a werewolf and run along with the pack instead of jumping from tree to tree like a squirrel but what can you do? Get kidnapped sounds like a good idea. "I mean, you're a human who kind of belongs to my pack now. Since you know, you crossed" he said, still advancing towards me. "But... but by crossing the boundary wouldn't you belong... belong to ours then?" I said as he reached. His heavy body rested on mine, letting me feel his heartbeat. His was slow and steady. Mine was probably going on like a bee who had gotten his honey stolen. "You're observant. But it only counts if I was caught" "But you were caught" I said as his hand twirled a strand of my hair once again. "By who?" he said, putting the strand behind my ear. "M-me" I said, trying to sound brave. I never sounded brave. Not even when I was. "Yet, you're not going to be able to tell anyone" he smiled. "Why... why not?" "Because you're mine now" Posted on 17 June 2017Complete
Forged in Fire (Forgotten Series, #2)
EDITED ~~~~ Book two of Forgotten series. ~~~~ Shey Lazera felt she was not destined to have a mate. She had been rejected so many times she almost enjoyed the fire, the burning that covered her body. Each wave of fire separating her and her wolf, each wave chipping away at her wolf's spirit until she was barely noticeable anymore, her power diminished. She was viewed as weak by the men she was mated to. With her wolf nearly invisible to those around her she was looked down upon as a muddie. A shifter whose wolf hides away from the world in the human side. So it comes as a surprise when she trespasses in a territory, fucks up an escape attempt, and gets dragged soaking wet in front of another Alpha, who refuses to reject her like she wants. ~~~ Luka Sterling had been forced into the Alpha position after an accident killed his two older brothers and his father. He had taken up the mantle to take it off of his fragile mother but he knew it did not belong to him. He was a weak Alpha that had needed constant training just to be ready in case anyone tried to take his position. He was a weak Alpha with no true Beta or mate. He had been rejected once and that had been enough for him to not try again. So he was more than surprised and more than irritated when members of his patrol drug a half drowned dark haired beauty with green eyes as cold as ice, into his office. He hadn't wanted a mate and his first thought was to reject her until she opened her rosy lips and demanded he do just that. Her demands sparks something in his wolf and rejecting her is now he last thing he wants and he demands her submission instead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shey helps Luka figure out just how much of and Alpha he was meant to be and Luka helps her learn just how much she deserves to be loved. And together they discover that strength isn't everything when it comes to being an Alpha.Complete

Olive the Other Werewolves
"Shift." His voice hit me like a serrated blade as he stepped out of the crude semicircle of hardened wolves that had formed around me. I pushed myself off of the cold floor for what felt like the thousandth time that day, wiping the small trail of blood coming off of my lip and down my chin. "I won't ask you again." My limbs felt like lead, these wolves had been at me for hours trying to get me to shift into my wolf, unbeknown to them was that their efforts would forever be futile considering the fact my wolf wouldn't make an appearance for me even when I begged. I seriously doubted she would suddenly pop up as a result of their abusive tactics. Instead of explaining my circumstances, driven by a bizarre combination of adrenaline and fatigue, I leaned back on my heels and sent the largest loogie I'd ever conjured flying over and landing squarely between the eyes of the man before me. oOoOoOoOoOo As a late bloomer who was incapable of shifting yet, let alone making any contact with her wolf, Olive Ludovic's life was not off to the best start. Growing up, constantly being tormented and taunted by those around her forced Olive to grow a tough skin and work even harder, despite the fact she was without her wolf. When her home is taken over by a dark pack, life seems to only get worse for Olive as it is quickly discovered that her mate is none other than Matteo, the Alpha of the very pack that was terrorizing her people. It seems to her, that life is just a little bit easier for Olive the Other Werewolves. oOoOoOo hello! just fyi there will be mature language and content as the book progresses so i'm letting ya know now ;) HIGHEST WEREWOLF RANKING = 2, LOVE RANKING = 3 (out of 1.8 million books XD), MAGIC RANKING = 1, ROMANCE RANKING = 1 (out of 1.5 million books XD), VAMPIRE RANKING =1!Complete
