Even though that pistol is aimed on the space right between his eyes, his awe is outweighing his fright. His admiration for her strongly set jaw and her confident grip on the firearm is overpowering his common sense. Even with his life in her hands at this moment, she is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.

Ellis Combs is a simple man. He gets by fine keeping to himself and tending to his quaint farm. His life in the mountains is sheltered, uncomplicated, and by some standards, utterly lackluster. While sometimes lonely, he doesn't mind it.
It only takes one hell-splitting lightning storm and a single look at the girl with auburn hair to rearrange his unembellished grayscale life into a kaleidoscope of vibrancy he never knew he was missing.
He also has no idea that her past will change his future.
In 19th century North Carolina, the mountains can be all consuming and frightening. For Ellis and Madison, the possibility of real, unconditional love is just as scary.

Sweet Like Poison...(BWAM, Mature Paranormal Romance 18+)
Vampires; I'd only ever heard stories about them, never had the privilege of meeting one in person. The rules that had been enacted and enforced by the human faction's government, run by my father, forbade that anyone venture into the southern forests. And so, we humans went on with our daily routine, no one daring to spare the cursed forests even a single glance. What I had not anticipated, was that, a mistake foolishly made by my own father; the breaking of a blood covenant, would effectively result in me coming face-to-face with the head of these nightly creatures; the one and only hybrid. And this volatile man, was the epitome of darkness, and the embodiment of death... ALL CONTENT WITHIN THIS BOOK IS PURELY FICTIONAL AND WORKS OF MY IMAGINATION. MY BOOK IS NOT FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN!!

Gun metal and Daisies (Thomas Shelby)
Dorothy Monroe is a petite woman with a heart too big for her chest. She's pure, kind, she looked at the world and determined all the colours of nature were miracles and needed to be remembered. She's loved photography ever since her father brought a camera home and even had a gift with the newly designed lenses ever since she could wrap her small hands around the clunks of metal. Thomas Shelby: gangster; and war hero; he reads the devils script as if it were the morning newspaper - the list will go on. I don't need to say much more, you already know him. The Shelby family, as part of Tommy's expansion plan, bought a large area of the woods on the outskirts of Small Heath, far away from the Birmingham smog, there they built safe houses and kept heavy machinery; maybe even once they kept a large crate of stolen guns, supposedly belonging to the Government. Unbeknownst to Dorothy, who stumbled around the woods (a bulky camera in hand), she had explored the woods many times, taking photos of all the things that shined bright enough, but had never come across the peculiar buildings that held many dangers. That is, of course, until she knocks upon one of the doors, ready to give an earful to whoever had built over this precious patch of land, only to come face to face with one Thomas Shelby. -loosely follows the plot of season 1- *disclaimer* I do not own the Peaky Blinders or any of Steven Knights characters, only the story of Dorothy and her own plot line. This trope is cliche and overused, but idc, I like it.Complete
Moonlit Hearts
In a small, misty town nestled at the edge of a vast, enchanted forest, lives Elena, a young woman with a mysterious past she can't remember. She's always felt drawn to the forest, even though the townspeople warn of dangerous creatures that lurk within it under the full moon. One evening, while wandering near its edge, she encounters a wounded wolf with eyes that seem unnervingly human. Against her better judgment, she helps it, only for the creature to disappear by morning. Days later, a mysterious stranger, Lucas, arrives in town. Handsome and rugged, Lucas has a dark, secretive air. He seems strangely familiar to Elena, and as they grow closer, she notices that he always vanishes on the nights of the full moon. Her curiosity soon leads her to a discovery - Lucas is a werewolf, cursed to transform every full moon, struggling to balance his humanity and the beast within. As their love deepens, Elena learns that the curse isn't just his - it's part of her forgotten past as well. The bond between them isn't accidental but destined. Elena's family had been part of a lineage of protectors, those who once safeguarded the world from the wrath of werewolves but were wiped out in a tragic betrayal. Now, Elena is the last of her kind, the key to breaking the curse, but only by facing unimaginable danger. Lucas and Elena must navigate their growing love, while also dealing with rival werewolves, a mysterious witch, and the secrets that have been buried deep within the forest. Together, they must decide whether love is strong enough to tame the beast - or whether the beast will destroy everything they hold dear.Complete
Colorblind
PART ONE: In the heart of the segregated 1900s, a white couple defies society's expectations by adopting two Black boys. Despite their love for each other, tragedy strikes in the form of a devastating car accident-one that alters their reality forever. PART TWO: (Purgatory) Caught in the space between life and death, each family member must navigate a nightmarish landscape filled with terrifying creatures and twisted trials. Their only hope of peace is to reunite and overcome the darkness together. Author's Message The color of our skin should never decide the weight of our worth. Beneath it all, we share the same pulse - one rhythm, one heart, one fragile, beautiful humanity. In a world painted with differences, kindness is the only language that never needs translation. We are all just souls trying to find peace, trying to love, trying to live. I began writing this because the word racism has always struck me like a wound - sharp, heavy, and undeserved. It's a word that carries too much pain for its size. It divides where there should be unity, it hurts where there should be healing. No one should ever feel less than human because of the shade of their skin. My grandmother taught me that love sees beyond color. She never measured people by appearance - only by their hearts. Every child, every adult, she treated with the same warmth, the same respect, the same unwavering truth. From her, I learned that real strength is gentle, and real justice begins with compassion. So I write for her. I write for those who were silenced, for those who have been seen only through the world's narrow lens. I write because love deserves louder voices than hate. And I hope that somewhere within these words, you remember what she taught me - that the heart knows no color, and humanity was never meant to be divided.Complete
The Descendent Protectors
With only three weeks left of summer, Nora and her friends decided to road trip to a secluded territory with a wondrous lake in Northwest Indiana. Unbeknownst to them, the territory has been claimed by one of the most powerful men in North America, and they were trespassing. A while later, Nora runs into this owner of the land, and despite his intimidating aura there's another foreign emotion settling deep in her chest whenever her brown eyes connect with his striking silver gaze. Unfamiliar to the feeling, Nora shrugs it off; completely oblivious to the fact that not only has she now captured the interest of the most powerful and dangerous man in North America, but has also set foot inside a whole different world known to only exist in mythical books. * Note: This is not your classical Werewolf story. * Top rankings: #1 in Romance - 3rd January, 2021 #1 in Myth - 6th January, 2021 #1 in Legend - 24th January, 2021 #1 in Fiction - 9th August, 2021 * Word count: 90,000 - 100,000Complete
Full Blooded- DISCONTINUED
This is a world where power and dominance stand above anything and everything else. This is a world where you don't want to run around in the dark. This is a world where love is nothing other than a meaningless word used to describe the indescribable feeling of having a Mate. This is a world where wolves are dominant and only the most powerful survive. This is the world Silas, a loner and the first full blooded wolf in history, was born into. The world where she must prove her dominance in order to survive. * * * Unbearable pain erupted through my body, almost instantly. Dizziness made the room swirl unnaturally and darkness threatened to take over. "Up," the Alpha repeated. I tried, but, once again, I was rendered immobile. Another large syringe full of the green and silver mixture was injected into my body. This process repeated, time and time again. My body could not handle it. The room spun in quick, repeating circles as darkness surged, covering everything I saw and felt with a thick, black blanket. I couldn't remember anything. Not who I was. Not where I was. Not who was with me. Not what I was supposed to be doing. But, as I lay there, unconscious, beginning to go insane with pain, I could still hear, still remember, him. I could remember the voice of someone I had met, not that long ago, that already meant the world to me. I could remember the feeling of our wolves connecting, all but the new fifth member of my body, who had led me to this dark, dangerous place. I could remember feeling, for the first time in years, what it felt like to be happy. I could remember his name. Jace. * * * I do not take credit for the picture used in the cover of this story. <ON HOLD>Complete

Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war. It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle. She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most. This is a story about the ones left home during the war. The one's who earned no great merit or place in history. The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans. I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s. My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana. We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family. My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan. He was the rest of my family's enemy. https://www.wattpad.com/646167251-the-forgotten-ones-a-completed-steamy-historical Please keep in mind this story is based in America during the 1860s and it was a different time.
