What if you were supposed to save the world, but your powers never showed up?
Keelee likes life in her quiet farming village where she feels safe with her older brother Bryan, her only surviving family. Yet she can't help but be curious when cranky Sole arrives with his enigmatic granddaughter. Still, Keelee never expected her visit to them to have such drastic consequences: Sole pinpoints her as the next Keeper, the person charged with keeping peace in Lustan and insists she travel with them to the Temple of Uriah for training. Accompanied by Bryan and a quick-witted new friend, Keelee undertakes the journey but struggles to fulfill her promise as the skills that are supposed to come naturally to a Keeper prove elusive. Not to mention it's hard to concentrate while on the run from assassins sent by an unknown enemy.
At last, she reaches the temple, at high cost, only to find it less a place of sanctuary than one of intrigue. As she delves into the temple's library, Keelee realizes that a past Keeper foe, a manipulative sorceress, is still very much a part of the present and that Bryan's life is in danger. With the help of a temple ghost, Keelee must find her true strength and escape the Temple before the sorceress destroys her and her friends and ends all possibility of peace in Lustan.

Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.

The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor.

As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
