When the chance to run arrives, Beldon doesn't think twice about escaping into the shadows of an enchanted castle locked in an eternal winter. He just wants to bury a secret.
But the castle is a cold, cruel place and his host is less than welcoming.
The sparks that fly between them are icy and aggressive; the tension building until one night it almost costs Beldon his life.
Then things change. Beldon's attention turns to the shadowy Beast and the mystery that surrounds him. There is a curse to be broken after all and Beldon promised to help find a mysterious figure known as Beauty.
However Beldon did not expect his secret to resurface within this frozen castle and as such he is forced to confront himself and answer one question.
As he and The Beast grow closer, does he want this Beauty found?

Okay, you have no IDEA how much time it took me to try and make up a title or write a description. Please, before reading this description, note that I've been complemented on my writing skills on many occasions. It's your first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, yay! On your way to find an empty train car, you meet the one and only, Harry Potter. You act like you don't know him, because, of course, you assume he's gotten the "OMG YOU'RE HARRY POTTER THE BOY WHO LIVED I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU I EITHER HATE YOU OR WANT TO SNOG YOU I CAN'T DECIDE" so many times already. You sit with Harry and meet two other friends and maybe make an enemy........ Frenemy? We'll see... Anyway, this is a love story and I lay it thick with the drama so if you like drama, love triangles and maybe even an extra little twist, this may just be the story for you!Complete
Beautiful Beast
My name is Kalista. They call me the beast. Kalista has been cursed by a powerful sorceress and is now a prisoner in her own palace. As petals fall from an enchanted rose, her fate and the sorceress's victory draw nearer. But Kalista refuses to be defeated so easily and uses her own magic to push against the bindings. Yet what if it is not enough and the only way the curse might be shattered is through the help of another? When Arawn crosses into the beast's domain, he has one motive: revenge for his brother's death. But as he draws nearer to the beast and is surrounded by invisible servants, magical banquets, and an enchanted forest, he realizes that this beast is much more complex and much more human than he first thought. As their paths intertwine, Kalista must risk opening her heart to another, while Arawn must learn to see past his hate and prejudice. Together, they struggle against spells, wolves, and time itself to break the curse. If they fail, Kalista will fall asleep and will never again wake.Complete

Painted Roses
Rosalia is used to enchantment. With a brother who freed a beast and a friend who slept for over a hundred years, coming across enchantment doesn't phase her much. At least, it doesn't phase her when she's not directly dealing with it. But when she meets a talking frog and he ends up coming home with her, that changes things. Of course, after having been on the run for her life, meeting a talking frog wasn't as much of a surprise as one would expect on that particular day. But what does The Frog want? Does he really just want to spend time with her? And a better question, HOW can this frog talk? Besides that, there's him. Mr. Ernest Cliffwood. Charming and attentive and new, his sights apparently set on Rosalia but she's seen that playboy attitude from other rakes of the Ton and knows to be wary even if everyone else sees a marriage on the horizon as The Season gets into full swing. And there's one more person - more mysterious then Mr. Cliffwood. He appears and disappears in and out of the waltzing crowds as easily as if by some enchantment. What are his intentions? Who is he? Who is Mr. Cliffwood.
