When Tristan of Dunbar taunts the faeries late one drunken night, he doesn't expect anything to come of it. He's so sure of himself that when he wakes up cursed the next morning, he thinks that he's just hungover. However, it quickly becomes apparent that not everything is as it seems. Trapped in a seemingly impossible new reality, he has to decide whether to fight the curse or embrace it as a blessing.

Ava Berkley enjoys a little adventure from time to time - just a little! She's never thought of herself as being anything special, so she can hardly envision the dramatic detour that her life takes when she stumbles through the brush late one night. In the bat of an eyelid she finds herself trapped with a scoundrel whose one goal in life seems to be taunting her. Can she navigate her new reality safely on her own, or will she need his help? Does she have a choice?

Beyond the Stone is bit of lighthearted battle-of-the-sexes fun.

The Cadre of Embers by amberrhymerofficial
28 parts Complete Mature
•••••••••••••••• He took a step closer to her, and she took one away from him. "When two people make love, it is sensual, two hearts bonding, and caring for one another. It's slow and gentle and undemanding. It's just you and the person you love, and nothing else in the world matters." She didn't know when he'd gotten so close to her, but her eyes burned as she read the slight expression that flashed across his own eyes... sorrow, as if perhaps remembering something, or someone from his past. She didn't know why it made her chest hurt, he was only a brute after all... •••••••••••••••• Set against the enchanting backdrop of mid-18th century England, "The Cadre of Embers" unfolds the extraordinary journey of Althea Lezant, a young and unmarried woman disillusioned by societal constraints on women. Althea's life takes an exhilarating turn when she discovers her unique ability to manipulate the fourth dimension. Upon first use of this newfound power, she is sought out by a hidden society of individuals with diverse abilities of their own. Driven by curiosity and a thirst for purpose, Althea delves into this enigmatic world, leaving behind the mundane pursuit of suitors. Within the society's embrace, she learns the intricacies of her magical abilities and the vastness of their universe. Yet, Althea senses that profound secrets still elude her, mysteries that might hold the key to her ultimate destiny. "The Cadre of Embers" is a spellbinding tale of love, empowerment, self-discovery, and the latent potential within us all. For those who yearn to escape the confines of ordinary existence, this is a journey you won't want to miss.

[Watty's Shortlist & WATTPAD PICKS -- Up and Coming List 06.07.2018] Now Available on Amazon!!! His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.

{Completed} Highest Ranking: #50 in Fantasy (05/19/17) Book. 3 I almost snorted. "You were scared of me?" I looked up at him, but he continued to watch Genius. "Foster, I was untrained and barely coming into my father's powers. I don't think I'll ever be a match for you." Physically. This time Foster looked down, truth shining in his eyes like sunlight reflecting off the polished surface of a lake. "I wasn't scared of your power, little pet." He said the nickname not out of anger or hate, but love and adoration. It was hard to imagine that at one point and time just hearing those words set my blood boiling... Now it was heated for another reason entirely. "I was scared that if I told you who you really were, you'd realize that I was no match for you." ------------ She is no queen. Things are not looking up for Eve Scotts. She's escaped Mab's desperate attempts to end her life yet again, but at a cost. Her soul is now tied to the wicked ice queen - her power and life essence is slowly being sucked from her body. And given the rate, she won't last long.

And to make matters worse, her heart is is thrown in the middle. Foster Quinn is everything she could ask for - a warrior, a lover, and a friend. She's more than happy to have her love back in her arms safe, and away from Queen Mab. But can she turn her back on the dark and alluring Sebastian O'Neill who was the first to capture her interest so long ago? As the web of power and deception is woven tighter, Mab fights for power, Foster fights for freedom, Sebastian fights for revenge - and Neva starts to wonder if the world of blood and war she was born into will ever change.

The Wulvers Series Book 6 #79 in magic #198 in paranormal "The path I choose will decide my fate; to follow tradition, or to break it." ~ Raeghan Ava Lyall As the female first born of an Alpha Pair like my mother before me, I knew it would be easy to settle for the same fate as her; to have my life choices come down to mating and becoming an Alpha Female, or never rising above the rank of Beta. I choose neither. Every day, I live to prove I should be heir and one day take my father's place as Alpha of the Western Pack in Scotland. Such ambitions challenge an age old tradition that make enemies of Wulvers who cling to their ancient ways. And most do, which means few dare to stand at my side. The lonely fight is tiring, and after so many years I'm left with an unsettling question: if the council and my father continue to refuse my claim, what do I have left? My cousin Fenna might provide a much needed chance at finding a sense of equilibrium within myself again. Her mate's pack live in deep the Scandinavian wilderness and their Alpha Pair promise they can mould me into a worthy heir for my pack. But going there means being near Ebbe, a male who grew up in fur more than skin and sees things so differently from me. A male who tempts me to break a rule I made. And if I do, it could destroy everything I've worked for.
