The use/belief in tarot cards as an extra resource for decisions is a central theme for Marlena Christie, an All That Woman who combines upper crust physical, intellectual, financial, and spiritual attributes.

Vatche's tarot reading - and Marlena KNOWING Eddie is "the Universe delivered guy" - are part of her confidence in a reunion, and later, taking a bullet for her isn't just a philosophical notion for him. She did all things possible to put them together again, trust that he's the gratifying, 5-star version of the ex- so many want extra efforts to be worth. 

Stunned by the magical doorway appearance of a superstar Woman he's almost erased from memory, Edgar Allan 'Poe' Starkes recognizes the joyous opportunity this panther sleek Woman before him represents. Going with her flow - because he's a man smart enough to know Magnificent doesn't show up often -  makes for terrific adventures. 

Watching her in poolside moonlight, he sees the physical her as "...only half the deal, (more) a jumping into knee-deep water holding mega-watt cable Woman, able to put a charge into whatever person or thing she decided to." 
 
She whips four Russians after their first dinner together, and there is lots of on-going sexuality - "Brave French maiden- dungeon - pirate LeSharque" is out there. 

Living the Good Life takes a tangent when Marlena introduces Eddie to tarot reading - an unusual part of her mental arsenal, a real edge. Does "the Universe smiling on her" make her paranormal? You'll see.
 
Along with credibility in 'smarts-expertise' department, it makes her an estimable ally when it comes to art-thieving time. This socialite knows how to motivate - a 100m swim race with Eddie for a Maserati!

When he recaps six weeks of together: learning conversational Italian, winning a celebrity doubles tennis match, trysting in unique locations without worrying how she knows about them, it's obvious Marlena did right returning his good karma to her life.All Rights Reserved

Building Virtues [Completed✔] by PiscesPleasure

They say chastity is a virtue, but virtues are just old antiquated rules put in place to keep girls virgins by mythical old men. Or at least thats what Eden Lightfoot is a firm believer of. So therefore she doesn't make them part of her everyday life. No she believes in principles and practicalites of life, that's what makes her such an amazing architect and future luna. Supposedly lust is a vice, but Rome Haven didn't seem to get that memo. Sowing his wild oats and being the most memorable alpha are what governs his days. That and a couple of other important secrets. Brought together in the most antiquated traditional way, these two's untraditional views on life and partnership truly test them. Both committed to the betterment of their packs, can their differences help them form new unique traditions while building new virtues? #1 in #Blackwerewolves 4/2022 #61 of 3.96k #Moongoddess 6/2022 #2 of 1.32k in #bwbm 9/23/2022 #7 of 12.4k in #blacklove 11/2022 122,296 word count! _________________________

When he glances back at me and sees the obvious disgust on my face, he closes his eyes, rubbing his lips together in amusement. There is a rare show of softness for me when he looks at me his fingers stroke my chin to cheer me up. "I'm going to fuck you, aren't I?" my breathing picks up, and I try to see the deception but find none. Just his arrogance and lust. For me.

Anna Holland is a college freshman with strange empathic psychic powers that she has managed to keep hidden. She senses auras, feels what others feel as though she feels them herself, and has powerful intuitions that she is inclined to follow. Unfortunately, one of these strong urges leads her to being sucked into another universe where she is at the mercy of a dangerous warlord who calls her a mage and claims to have been waiting for her. 🏅1st Place- Fantasy-🌸 The 2023 Flower Awards🌸 🏅1st Place- Fantasy-⚔️The Katana Awards⚔️ 🥈2nd Place- Fantasy- Serenity Book Awards 🥈2nd Place- Best Protagonist- Fluorescence Awards 🥉3rd Place- Fantasy- The Prime Awards 2023 ______________________________________________________ Excerpt: Anna felt the stabbing pain from her back to her chest. She felt his surprise. She felt his light extinguish as he died. Then there was nothing. Nothing. Her head was swimming like it was underwater. She couldn't move. She couldn't move. Her vision blurred, a man was speaking but she couldn't hear his words. She felt the sword in her chest, but it wasn't there. He killed him. He killed him. Breathe. Did she stop? Breathe. The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised.

Venom's Alliance: Loyalty's Fracture by LunarisAryson

To my readers, For those who believe that true love is like a really good book-impossible to put down and full of plot twists. Kalia's POV: I've never had a normal life. From birth, I've known nothing but pain and fear, used by everyone to get what they wanted. Just when I thought I was finally free from my past, it hit me harder than ever. I was forced into an undercover mission to dismantle an illegal weapons syndicate and got caught in Easton's relentless obsession. Now, I'm trapped in a marriage I never wanted, battling my past and the guilt of my mission. As if things weren't complicated enough, the only man I've ever truly wanted is Easton's best friend. Our love is impossible, and I had to push him away, choosing duty over my heart. Jay's POV: Taking over the underworld empire my uncle left behind wasn't my plan, but it was necessary to protect those I care about. I've worked hard to clear the name Venom and establish a new rule. But now, there's a problem. She's back. She's the one woman I've ever truly wanted, and I can't have her-she's married to my friend. Yet my feelings don't care about boundaries. I want to protect her, to keep her safe, but as our paths keep crossing, I'm drawn to her more each time. She's my light in the darkness, and I'll keep fighting to protect her from afar, even if it breaks my heart. Easton's POV: I never imagined I'd be this obsessed with someone again. Two years ago, I lost my love, Ariana, to a tragic accident. But when Kalia showed up looking so much like Ariana, I convinced myself she was Ariana, back for my happiness. My angel had come and consumed me. I can't resist her. She's part of my world, whether she likes it or not. She's mine, and now that she's back in my life, I have to have her, even if it means forcing her. This is my second chance, and there's no turning back.

Major Arcana: sex, love, and Tarot by FionnaGuillaume

Rosemary has just been dumped. Again. In desperation, she follows her sister's advice and decides to undergo a process of self reflection with one simple tool: a deck of Tarot cards. Join Rosemary in a revealing, heartfelt - and sexy - quest to find herself through the Major Arcana. ** Tarot cards, contrary to popular belief, are not for seeing the future. Rather, they reveal information about an individual's state of mind, inner thoughts, and subconscious wisdom. A full Tarot deck contains 78 cards: 56 Minor Arcana (divided into four suits: Wands (or Staffs); Discs (or Pentacles); Cups, and Swords), which include numbered cards 1 - 10, and also "face" cards of King, Queen, Knight, and Page. The Minor Arcana depict specific individuals, events, decisions, or possible outcomes, and add detail to any Tarot reading. There are also 22 Major Arcana cards. These cards represent major ideas, elements, or "twists". Starting with The Fool and ending with The World, the Major Arcana also present the narrative of a journey. It is this which inspired my writing this erotic romance, featuring Rosemary as the reluctant reader of Tarot. Through the cards, she will grow and change - and find love - all while examining her innermost self. I'm leaving this story up to the cards. Each chapter is influenced by the card I pick; the Tarot will guide me as I write. (As will you, readers, with your comments, feedback, and suggestions). I hope this journey will offer plenty of enjoyment to lovers of romance, Tarot, and good storytelling, alike. (Please note: this has been adapted to meet Wattpad's qualifications for submission. Never fear: the full-on, Fionna-style erotic version shall be published when complete! For all those who enjoy a little more spice with their romance. :)

Doctor-Patient Confidentiality: New Adult Enemies-to-Lovers Romance by EmendedHearts

"That's it, baby," he continues, his tone almost soothing, despite the filth spilling from his lips. "Take my cock. Take all of it." Baby. My belly flutters, my heart soaring like a fool even though I know it's a runaway utterance. A thoughtless spill of the moment's intensity. I shut my eyes against the word, as if the action will shield my chest from its impact. Or my pussy. "You like that?" he asks, his voice a low rumble. "You like it when I fuck you hard? When I make you feel like the dirty little slut you are?" I can't even respond, my throat is too constricted, my lungs too empty. His words are like a knife, slicing through me, making me feel even more exposed and vulnerable than I already am. "Say it," he demands, his thrusts becoming even more punishing. "Tell me you're a dirty little slut." "I'm a dirty little slut," I sob, the words torn from my throat. I can't believe I'm saying them, but they feel true. "That's right," he growls, his breath hot against my ear. "You're MY dirty little slut. And you're going to come for me again, aren't you?" *** MORALLY GREY meets GREY'S ANATOMY meets FIFTY SHADES OF GREY... 24-year-old Ramona Lisa Gallo seems to finally be back on track to a normal life...while cruising the financial struggle bus. Returning to college to study music seemed like nothing short of a fantasy six years ago. But when she unexpectedly finds herself under the care of young, renowned oncologist, Dexter Frost, she can't convince herself she isn't dreaming. With eyes as cold as his name, Frost is handsome beyond belief. Accomplished beyond his years. And the medical textbook definition of a "Dreamy Knightmare". The good doctor has a proposition for his new patient; a solution to her money troubles once and for all...for a price. *** This is an ongoing web serial. One (1) chapter will be posted every Friday.

Threnody by Itsteilakimmons

Aries Bristol is a bounty hunter. The best of the best, most terrifying, and she's a woman, frowned upon by all. "Women shouldn't fight," they say, on and on. "Women shouldn't get their hands dirty." "Women are weak." "Women are powerless." "Women are toys, puppets, made to look at and enjoy." They thought they were geniuses. Adding to her misery. She proved them wrong. And she always will. ●●●●● When she is called upon by an Aristocrat, Aries is hired to find a Demhi---a person---a race--- that is immortal. But she knows they don't exist anymore. They didn't die, no, they disappeared. As if they never existed. ...Didn't they? So, of course, she finds this bounty dumb... until she is paid one hundred thousand for the job, enough to sustain her for life... As she goes on her mission, she defeats many people, from drunken thugs to gang leaders. She also gets visons, dreams, and prompting from her Patron goddess, Thana, the goddess of death. As she is fulfilling her job, she meets a man. A very enigmatic figure, one she comes to know as he confronts her and travels alongside her. As they travel together, they bond, becoming good friends...or more. They unveil a path of dark secrets... some connected to their pasts. In the midst of all this, Aries deals with depression, suffering from past traumas, as well as realizing her growing feelings for this man. As the novel escalates, Aries needs to find comfort in her own skin and not to live in the past, as well as differ good from evil. WARNING: Rated mature for suicidal thoughts, self harm (mentioned), and depression. No explicit adult content, though very small mentions of r4p3 (mentioned once, never described, nor pressed).

Grim Echoes by ryanahunter

Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.
