Never talk with the residents of the past. Never make connections. Never influence changes or interfere. Never stop the time of anyone but yourself. Only ever do your job. Just pop in, and pop out. Never linger.
Yvette knew the rules of her job inside out. It had been pummeled into her as she was raised by her triad of aunts. Her ability to slip through time was a blessing and not to be abused. She could only find information to bring back to the past, to secure items that held no meaning. And, first and foremost, she couldn't give anyone but herself immortality.
So, when a man she had never met before enters her shop, claiming to be five-hundred years old and to be her lover, Yvette realises she had royally screwed up. Or had yet to.
This was a mess waiting to implode and one she is desperate to fix. But, as she traipses through time and meets this man over and over, she begins to realise sticking to the rules was going to be very difficult.

Throne of the unwanted bride
"She was never supposed to be mine, yet now she holds the key to a heart I never knew I had." "In a world where power rules, she's the one force I can't control, but maybe, that's what I need most." "I came here to escape a life I never wanted, but now, trapped in a marriage I never chose, I'm beginning to see a side of him I never imagined." "He's a tyrant, yet in his presence, I find myself questioning everything I thought I knew about hate-and love." "She came as a prisoner, but found herself freed in the presence of a king she never understood." "A tyrant king, a forced marriage, and a love that defies everything-will hatred turn to passion, or will duty destroy them both?"

Extract from the book: His erection pressed against my back, as the warm water flowed down on us, and he rained hot kisses along my neck and back. I was pressed against his hard length, moving slowly, earning grunts from his mouth against my skin. One of his hands tightened around my waist, pressing me closer to him, while his other hand made it down my bare skin, gliding along the water, raising goosebumps on my skin despite the hot water. My breath got stuck in my throat as his stroking fingers matched the rhythm of his kisses. The urgent need that flowed through me made me turn around in his embrace to press myself against his front. ... Warning! This story contains mature continent, so if you're not interested in that, you have been warned. It contains some mature language, lots of violence, and sex. Read at your own risk.Complete
Ayn's Healing

When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hiComplete
Shadow of the Prince
"A fantastical cross between the Beauty and the Beast and ACOTAR." A prince, a witch, and a wolf are tied together by the sins of their parents. Can they break free of the secrets that bind them, or will the Kingdom of Eidas forever be under a terrible curse? Dalia Leary, the eighteen-year-old daughter of an outcast Seer and a downtrodden merchant, lives in a city steeped in lore and magic, where the gods rule the seasons and the noble half-bloods rule the people. The kingdom of Eidas is down on its luck, facing mass starvation and economic failure from prolonged droughts. Dal's mother seems certain that there is a strange, simple solution to both their problems and those of Eidas'. Dal just has to marry the Prince of Eidas, Prince Tullvomm. Easy, right? Of course not. The Prince is nearly ten years her senior, and engaged to be married to the beautiful Princess of the East. She is nothing more besides a common girl from Bridgewater Avenue. Besides the obvious issues of his princess fiancée and her very un-noble birth, there's one other small little problem - Prince Tullvomm is never seen without his pitch-black wolf at his side - his beastly protector. The more Dal tries to get close to the Prince, the more the ghastly wolf seems to always get in the way. Dal realizes that to get access to the Prince she must either befriend the beast or slay him, and though part dog he may be, the beast doesn't seem the type to lie down and roll over. In fact, the more time Dal spends around the creature the less sure she is that he is a dog at all.Complete

The Cadre of Embers
•••••••••••••••• 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.

Chimera Awakened
He gave me a feline smile as he stalked toward me. I backed away until my heels hit the stall wall and he took advantage of my surprise by stepping in to me, his body a mere whisper from mine. "That's good, Evelyn," he murmured and brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. My heart was pounding and I knew my face was betraying everything I was feeling. Damn him. I didn't want to feel this excited clench in my stomach. I didn't want to feel this longing for him. "What are you doing?" My voice was shakier than I would've hoped and far too breathy. "Something I've wanted to do for a very long time." *************************************************** Two hundred years after a powerful sorceress eliminated all modern technology and most of Earth's population, the people left behind live happily with no electricity, no motorized machinery - no advanced technology of any kind.

Her abilities don't allow her to know the emotions of people - or so she thinks. When Broderick Ryan, the next leader of his and Evelyn's province, returns home after being gone for five years, Evelyn discovers she's much more than an empathic horse trainer. Frightening and rare abilities begin to manifest and she's left reeling when she discovers why. Evelyn and Broderick find themselves drawn to each other as they discover the secrets of her unknown past and fight to keep themselves, and their province, safe from those who wish them harm.Complete
