Leila is a lovesick flower, a lily of the valley, a young woman who unwittingly blossoms through the events of this night. Stirred by her passionate desire to reunite with her love, Leila embarks on a treacherous journey filled with an otherworldly villain who relentlessly pursues her, her own rambling thoughts that both torture and encourage her, and sublime apparitions of her love that only temporarily satisfy her longing. But after the night's end, Leila will discover a magnificent new reality, one her anxious mind could never have imagined. She will learn the real identity of her love while tasting the surprising sweetness of a new, higher love.
PEAK is a poetic novel, set in the thick of winter, told through a love-struck young woman seeking to find her love who seemingly vanished after eight years together. St. Claire's writing is rife with beautiful descriptions and free-flowing movement of the protagonist through various scenes, such as a wintered forest, a frozen river, and an enchanted boardwalk.
This fantasy fiction serves as a meditation on the Song of Solomon, a book in the Christian bible. As the scriptural Beloved sings of her love for the Lover no matter his whereabouts or her journeys to search and find him, PEAK's Leila sings just as sweetly for her love. Yet in Leila's journey, she attains many virtues in her nightly trek, all of which enable her to mature, to understand her love's words, and to finally see him as he is.

Mirai, the Witch of Sight
Mirai comes from a long line of witches who have been particularly gifted in using their inner sight. As such, she's trained her sight from a young age. She's always been a disappointment, however, as the only thing she's ever been able to see is the vague image of a girl. On her 18th birthday, Mirai discovers a mark on the back of her neck displaying the number thirty. From her first proper vision, she deduces that unless she finds the girl before the number reaches zero, both of them will die. Only being able to depend on her less than mediocre skills in seeing the future, Mirai sets out to find the girl before the time is up. Little does she know of the trauma the girl has suffered, nor that finding her is only the beginning. ---------- Mature rating due to: smut, violence, suicide (happens in the prologue while POV-character has her back turned), rape (happens in chapter 30 and will be mentions of it afterwards, fade to black, there will NOT be a trigger warning at the beginning of the specific chapter), violent death of babies, some rather bloody scenes, self-harm, extreme guilt. Note that a major part of this story focus on healing from and learning to live with trauma, so though you could potentially read it but skip some specific parts, if you're not comfortable reading something that deals with the listed topics, then this book won't be for you. ---------- This series will contain the following volumes: Volume 1 - Zoe, the witch of innocence (completed) Volume 2 - Crimson, the witch of night (completed) Volume 3 - Morana, the witch of life (completed) Volume 4 - Mirai, the witch of sight (completed) Volume 5 - Danae, the witch of light (completed) Volume 6 - Rheseis, the faerie of love (ongoing)Complete
BEYOND SEDUCTION | BOOK 2 ✔️
"Why do you keep staring?" She shifted uncomfortably, tucking the loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Just observing." I smirked to myself. "There is not that much to see," She said, brushing her face with the back of her hand. Cute... So innocent and polite. If only she could read my mind, to have the slightest idea of the things I could do to her. The things I wanted to do to her. Jah know. All I could think about was how much I want to fuck her. It doesn't have to be permanent but I want to. To see what she's like when she's loose. Wah know if she have a sexy pleasure face...or sound as sexy as she looks. Mi wah know what it takes to push her to her limit. I want to know what turns her on.

Mr Kingston's Roommate | ꪜ
Highest ranking: #1 in Short Story *Rewriting and Editing on hold* It was a race to leave behind her toxic past, the past that demolished her image, her family, and her sanity. Moving and starting fresh was Leila's number one priority. She desperately sought to avoid the people that constantly reminded her that she was worthless, but never had she thought she would meet someone who made her feel things that she thought she would never experience. . . Extreme anger. After the night that two lives were taken right before her eyes, one of her brother and the other of a little girl, nothing for her has been the same. Being neglected by her own parents and being shoved to the side by friends, falling into depression and self-harm had forced the once extrovert into a dark abyss who chose to finish college in silence. However, after an unfortunate mishap on her first day of school, Leila is stuck sharing a dorm room with no other than Professor Kingston. To Leila, Blake Kingston was nothing but a narcissistic, intellectual spoiled brat who sought to make her life a living hell. However, beneath the surface Blake was more than that, he was a damaged little boy who moved away to escape his troubled past. He never planned to meet a young, stubborn woman such as Leila Hart, who barged into his life with no warning. He never planned to let her see right through his cold and distant facade. For Blake Kingston was the most caring and loving person anyone has met, and Leila Hart knows an empath when she sees one. Little did they know they were both two broken souls who not only needed healing from themselves but from one another. Little did they know they were going to be ROOMMATES. What happens when these two collide? Fireworks and lethal wounds.Complete
