In the faraway island of Piri, the ultimate goal is to marry a foreigner-and the locals sure know how to work hard for such a goal. Girls are groomed early on to be as beautiful and desirable as they can be, starting from the young age of nine. Belinda, a thirteen-year old girl is caught in such a web, in which her teacher and fellow islander, Maricar, is determined to untangle her from. Together these two young women face the reality of making a sacrifice for both family and self, choose paths no one has tried before, and prove that poverty need not be solved by marriage to someone moneyed and influential but by sheer determination to succeed.

The Sin Of Fate
BOOK ONE Ashley Wilson There are those who say fate is something beyond our command. That destiny is not our own, but I know better. Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it. Marrying a stranger wasn't the best decision I made, but it certainly wasn't the worse. The worst was allowing Kai Bliss into my heart. ~ Kai Bliss I wasn't the son my father wanted, that role was always reserved for Kian.

She's been one of us. But when on New Year's Eve, she brings along a stranger. A stranger she's been preaching to us, for years. I finally get to meet her. Zara Lincoln. Penelope's dear baby sister. Off-limits. Like a moth to a flame, I crave her honey rose and vanilla scent. That Stygian black hair flowing behind her, those feminine curves, big-ass thighs. So fragile, breakable and shackled by the cuffs of her protective family. Too bad, they introduced the precious princess to the big bad wolf. Poor Zara. THE RELUCTANT MUSE - 𝗭𝗔𝗥𝗔 --- I've always been insecure of myself, for years. Being the youngest in the family, protected by everyone and having a wall of people surrounding me. Recently lost weight and still carry all my curves, so when I was invited to my sister's friend's New Year party - I was sweating. There I met him, the dark and brooding presence. Val Lawrence. I wish I would've declined and sat at home binging on Netflix that night. He's always so towering and huge. He's built like a building, which adds to the menacing persona. Always watched me, rarely talked and his heated eyes set me up on fire. They all warned me to stay away, but what could I do? None of them saw anything. He made sure I was the only witness to his wrath and cruelty. Only me. ---- More chapters coming soon. This story is a work of pure fiction and no copyright claims.

Survival - Howl in the Night 2
I am going to be doing a major edit on this story in Feb 2016. When I finish the edits I am going to delete this version and repost. Mari has finally found a place where she felt at home with Dan. Though she is eighteen for various reasons he has been designated as her guardian. It has been several months since the events that led to her being changed and saved. Now Dan is forcing her to return to the hell she calls high school to get her diploma. How is she going to deal with having guys, and a few girls, hitting on her? Is her wolf going to help or be a problem? What does her future really look like? Will the new friends she is slowly making be true or fake? She is most definitely not looking forward to all the drama of kids who haven't encountered both the supernatural and living on the streets. As I am publishing my stories they will be found at smashwords and my blog is on wordpress: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/Maxd01 https://clarkb003.wordpress.com/Complete![Taken By A Vampire... did I mention he's a royal?? ✔️ [N/E]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/4426049-256-k382826.jpg)
