One thing motivated Eleanor Marianne Priest throughout her journey into the medical field: the death of her childhood friend in circumstances she firmly believes were avoidable. From that day, she vowed to do everything in her power to prevent history from repeating itself. When a similar situation presents itself more than fifteen years later, Eleanor employs every method above board to stop it. Will those methods be enough? How much is she willing to sacrifice to keep that promise? Is it a promise worth keeping if it means changing the very nature of her being?

We're all running away from something. Question is, can we escape it? Eleanor Price has a traumatic past that she's spent her life trying to hide. After she successfully joins the FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit, she convinces herself that she's finally moved on and the skeletons will stay in the closet. But ten years later, when she's called back to her home town for an abduction case, can she keep her demons at bay? Or will all hell break loose? One would've thought that keeping your true feelings hidden was easy. Heck, she'd been doing it her whole life. But when Spencer Reid pushes through her emotionless facade, will he be the one to calm the storm? Or will he too fall victim to her torturous past? Fear loves to play, but sometimes nightmares need to be forgotten to be able to save lives. Wouldn't you agree?

ROSES FOR THE DEAD
You wake up starving. Not for food-for something far worse. Eleanor has no memory of her past life-only the certainty that she is no longer human. Stopped before she can make a fatal mistake, she is taken in by William Bloom, a centuries-old vampire who offers her refuge in his secluded Virginia manor. At Bloom Manor, she discovers a family of ancient predators bound by rules meant to keep their existence hidden: a watchful patriarch, a haunting mother, a boy who should never have been turned-and three sisters guarding a secret that could change everything. But something is wrong. Vampires are vanishing. Old powers are stirring. And Eleanor begins to suspect her transformation was no accident. To uncover the truth, she must master the darkness within her... or be consumed by it. ********** "I don't think you want him," he said. "You don't?" she whispered. "No." His breath brushed her ear. "It's me you want."Complete

With two criminals kingpins for parents, her life was supposed to be full of nothing but power and privilege. They may have taught her how to prosper in the legitimate society, but a tragic childhood event forced her to adapt into the criminal world in a way that ignited a violent fire within her. She made it her mission to keep others from meeting the same fate she did, becoming a savior, slaughterer, and a Siren in every sense of the word, all while mastering the deceptive art of a double-life. She became practically untouchable. Unstoppable. Until him. 𝐇𝐄 was only given one choice in his world: Conquer, and be the best at it. Be the most intelligent man in any given room. The most remorseless killer. The greatest opportunist. In a life where one either ruled, or lived long enough to bathe their hands in the blood of the previous ruler as they took their place, his survival depended upon his ability to be better than the opposition. And all the wicked talent within him meant he always was. Until her. The two of them hid enough secrets to fill an unending void to the brim. But how many unserious smiles and stony expressions can they continue hiding behind before cracks start to form in their acts? ✰(Fairly) Long Chapters ✰ ✰ Chapters marked with * include sexual content ✰ ✰ ✰ This book/its plot is MATURE in every way, not just smut.

Every Little Thing
Mallory finds herself brokenhearted when she loses the love of her life in a tragic accident. She's left to pick up the pieces of her life with the help of her best friend, Kendall. Her job as a neonatal nurse helps to keep her mind off of her broken heart when something unexpected happens; she comes face to face with Dr. Samuel Daniels. Will she find love again, or will her grief blind her from her second chance at love and happiness? *** "Kendall is under the illusion that you're in love with me. Can you believe that? I just buried my fiancé seven months ago. She told me not to be blinded by my grief, not to see that you love me," I sigh. I notice Sam lower his head. "I'm guessing that must have pissed you off." "It did! I don't want her to ruin the friendship that we have. I like how we are. You throw the love word in there, and it freaks me out." I fight back my tears. Sam raises his head to look at me. "Listen, Mallory. I would never do anything to jeopardize what we have. Please don't let other people's observations of our relationship mess that up, okay?" *** 1st Place in The Candy Cane Awards 🥇 2nd Place in the 2020 Universal Awards 🥈 2nd Place in the Books and Beyond Awards 🥈Complete
