A blaring set of lights filled my eyes and freezing my body in place, I went into slight shock by the sight.
"Let's see what you criminals are made of," He laughed, tormenting my ears with taunting echoes. "After all, this is my game with my rules."
I was being tugged away by my partner, who shouted curses at me that I couldn't understand or focus on.
"Your lives will always be dispensable."
*****
Claire and Raven have been best friends since childhood. They get arrested together, they break the law together, they get drunk together, and they would probably get married, together!
When a new pawn has been placed on the game board, it is not only them who is at risk; it is now everyone they have ever contacted.
Sacrifices need to be made, people need to be captured or killed just so they can stay above water. Claire and Raven learn that none of their plans will work, and that forbidden love was always a string tied into their relationship.

When The Heart Sings
I will be your heart, if you will be my shield. In a world where magic supposedly didn't exist, Serena has spent years struggling to conceal her unpredictable singing magic. While wishing for a peaceful life where she can sing without fear, she sees a man in handcuffs being forced into a shady research center. Their eyes meet, and the soulbond is forged. Darien is not from this world, and he's been held captive for years. With the soulbond amplifying his strength, he can fight his way through almost everything, but not every danger can be fought with fists. Their love draws them together even as power-hungry enemies try to pry them apart. They want to control Darien for their own purposes, but he's too strong to be controlled by force. Their love is their greatest strength-and their biggest vulnerability. But magic has its own rules, and no song can go unanswered. Excerpt: I pitied the man, although with so many cops around him, he was quite dangerous. Who needed 30 police officers to supervise one guy who in handcuffs and leg shackles? I watched him walk down the gauntlet between the rows of officers. It was as if I couldn't look away. He paused and looked around. His brilliant glowing blue eyes seemed to meet mine across the vast distance. I couldn't even blink as his eyes seemed to hold mine. The trees of a park broke our locked gaze as the bus kept on driving. I took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that I had stopped breathing the moment our eyes met. I had never seen such blue eyes before-and they glowed! A shiver ran through me. I had been too far away to make out the color of the man's eyes. My eyes watched the trees, hoping for a break in them so I could see the man again. I had no such luck. --- Fade-to-black action fantasy romance Copyright November 2017.

Mr. & Mrs. Mischief: Volume 01 [18+]
In a high-stakes Chicago office, a magnetically charming marketer seduces his boss's secretary into a whirlwind of passion, mischief, and jealousy. [This story is filled with real-life scenarios, sex & romantic moments to enjoy. ] Love means commitment, not control. You can't cage the one you love and still call it love. Ah, that's a gem of a thought-one that cuts right to the bone of what love should be, doesn't it? You're spot on: love as a commitment is like two vines choosing to twine together, growing wild and free, not some iron-barred enclosure where one soul clips the wings of the other. Caging? That's fear dressed up as devotion, turning passion into possession, and nobody thrives in a zoo. Think about it-real love thrives on trust's wide-open spaces. It's the quiet pact: "I'm here, choosing you every damn day, but I'm not chaining you to the radiator." You build a home, not a prison; you lift each other toward the sun, not lock the door. And yeah, that means risking the wind carrying someone away-but what a boring world if we didn't? The ones worth keeping? They come back, not because they have to, but because they want to. Commitment isn't a contract with escape clauses; it's the gravity that pulls without pulling strings. In the end, if love feels like a cage, it's probably not love-it's something smaller, clawing to control. The real deal? It's liberation in tandem. What's got you musing on this- a story, a spark, or just the universe whispering? Spill if you want; I'm all ears (and zero bars). Enjoy the story!
Angel's Authority
[!!CW!! abuse of drugs and alcohol, graphic depiction of violence and gore] "'Please,' he breathed shakily. I looked into his other hand and he was holding his pistol. One, identical to mine only that it was engraved with his signature. I shook my head frantically, more sounds exiting my mouth. 'No... no. No!' I whined as he held out the gun with all his strength. I couldn't. I wouldn't! 'Please, don't make me do this,' I continued whining, refusing to take the pistol from his hand. 'Please,' he just breathed again and I finally took the heavy metal into the hand that wasn't holding onto his other. It was already loaded. I heard the mechanisms click as I placed the barrel a few inches away from the space between his eyes. He closed his eyes, squeezing my hand tighter which was getting very sweaty. 'At least I'll say hi to mom and dad,' he laughed, spitting blood in the process. Before I could break down completely, I pulled the trigger, the deafening shot making my ears ring. I closed my eyes and looked away, only feeling his hand twitch open for a second and then falling onto his lifeless stomach. I gave out a painful moan. 'I love you, my treasure...'"
