A City of Assassins. A Country of Enemies. A Dance till Death.

What could possibly go wrong?

The oncoming of the mist was greatly awaited in Spiritfalls. The declaration that the Ball was neigh. This annual Masquerade was a historian's delight; Elites, Dresses, and Dancing. But beyond the exquisite drapes loomed lies, behind the ornate masks lay a warrior, underneath the warrior was an aching urge for revenge.

----

Avyanna Irvine, a strong-willed, determined girl longs to break free of her monotonous life. With her father a martyr and her brother an unresolved mystery, she aches to unravel the secrets of the Crown. Truth must be unveiled, come what may.

(COMPLETE) Grab your favorite drink and curl up to a quick romance! So, get ready to follow the adventure to finding love of Monica and Noah as they venture into the world of romance together... hoping to avoid all the bumps and breaks along the way. --------- One night... That's all it takes for a life to change. One dance... for that was all it took for the blood to start pumping, and desire to fill the air. One bed... the place where the unthinkable happened, but was drowned in pleasure. Two completely different lives, brought together by chance? Or perhaps it was fate. _____ Monica Dellwoods was a normal woman, moving to New York with big dreams of singing and dancing on Broadway, looking to fill a life long dream of dancing on that blessed stage. With a heart on her shoulders, and a smile that seemed to be too bright to contain, she set foot into the business world of song and dance, only to be placed in a state of pause at the sight of the man in the black suit and red tie. Noah Johnson was the business man with a plan. That plan? To place the world in the palm of his hands with his large empire of growing business and success. But, one faithful night at the Masquerade ball, his world turned upside down by the mysterious redheaded beauty that was gliding across the floor. With a mask that hid their identities, and the connection that seemed to cause the world to fade away, one night was all it took for him to see the world differently. Then, in the morning? She was gone. Who was this man? And who was that mysterious beauty? Destiny seemed to want to bring them together, but fate would seem to wish to keep them apart. Perhaps the Masquerade was something so much more than what it seemed?

***COMPLETED!!!*** ---- Everyone has secrets... Vincent, Viscount Thorne, perfected his wicked grin and his good-humored mask years ago. He has no time for fools. Or that fickle emotion, love. The ton is full of sheep blindly walking into heartbreak. After all, he had ruined his best friend's little sister for love only to have ripped away from him. Thorne had no choice but to leave her waiting that night in the garden. It was his only choice. So, why does he still regret it so damned much? Especially now, when the lady in question reenters society, scarred but hardly broken. The Duke of Burkeley - that pompous, uptight wanker - declares himself her fiancee, and Thorne finds he will do whatever necessary to keep her out of that prig's clutches. A wager is in order. He'll find her a better bridegroom and then let her go. If only he could. ...but eventually, even the best kept secrets come out... Lady Georgianna is done hiding. So what, the love of her life left her waiting for hours in a darkened garden? So what, the fire chose that evening to entrap her, leaving her face burned? She dares anyone to place her into an imposed exile. Once was enough. With the Duke as her betrothed - the most arrogant and influential of them - Georgie will finally have everything she wanted within her grasp. Well, if Thorne hadn't intervened once more with his ridiculous talk of wagers. Suddenly, Georgie's in a game she can't afford to lose. But, what if she wins? ...Until everything comes crashing down... By season's end, the masquerade ball reveals more than their masked faces. It's a blazing unveiling that trumps even Beau Brummel's exile. The question remains. Will it lead to their ultimate ruination? Or might it just be their salvation? *** UPDATES: Irregular, but I'm going to try for every Friday! HIGHEST RANKING: #2 on 3/6/2017 Book 2 in the Spirited Brides series. **CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE** *** Beautiful cover and Graphic by @angelanguyenn!

Kidnapping No one expected that a human trafficking rink was located so close to their homes. There were stories of girls young as 8 years old disappearing from the state capitol, Raleigh and a few towns surrounding it; Garner and Louisburg. Yet not one person was able to connect it to a single house in the little town of Zebulon. That is until they made the mistake of kidnapping the sister of their only rival. Murder Members of a very old society have held their families together over the years. Doing whatever they deemed necessary to protect their own. Even if it meant committing murder. After loosing their sanctuary to a traitor, hatred burned through their veins. They bid their time and grew even stronger as as they waited for the right moment to retaliate. Upon the discovery of the murder of the leader's sister, the secret society wanted blood. The leader was pulled into two different directions. One to find the bastard who killed his sister. Another to find the girl who holds the key to either destroy all that they have worked for or win the deadliest of wars ever seen in history. Which in the end, the answer they need begins with one simple man.
