The Soul Pact // Hugh Jackman by jooniper_moon

(On hiatus) Power demands what it's owed, and souls are its favorite currency. === When museum curator, Lena Goodwin, receives an anonymous package containing damning evidence of a mistake she thought she buried years ago, her carefully built life begins to unravel. Hugh, a rogue relic hunter with his own dark agenda, and who is now the only man that knows her secret, uses it to make an offer she can't refuse: Help him retrieve the Astralis Codex, an ancient artifact that exacts a deadly toll for every favor it grants, or have her whole life's work pommeled six feet under. But, Lena gets more than she bargained for as she gets entangled in the dangerous world of black market auctions and forbidden occult. Not only are her and Hugh forced to confront their enemies, but also their growing attraction to each other. They soon learn that trust is fragile the deeper and darker they go, and both are wary that their partnership may be nothing more than a means to an end. With the Codex, the lines between right and wrong blur beyond recognition. Lena and Hugh must decide if love is worth the ultimate sacrifice, or if the cost of doing so is a price too high to pay. Because some pacts are written in blood, and some debts can be forgiven, but this choice is tied to their souls.

The Watcher by Est2010

He'll have to break all the rules to keep her, but first she has to break just one and let him in... It's taken four years, but Anna Fray has finally put the past behind her. Mostly. She fills her days working in a bar and her nights watching bad romantic comedies. She's managed to keep her distance from everyone around her by following one simple rule: don't trust anyone. Life is simple. Mundane, but simple. This all starts to change when a boy walks into the bar with a book and a smile. Soon Anna finds herself the centre of his attention, whether she likes it or not. The only problem is that the more time she spends around the boy with the book, the more she notices he's not like everyone else. It's not until one winter's night that she realises just how different he is. In that moment, the world as she knows it, is changed forever. **Updated every Saturday** **Featured on the official WP Paranormal 'Paranormal Paramours' reading list** **Featured on the official WP NARomance 'Love and Faerytales' reading list** ** Featured on the official WP General Fiction 'paranormal' reading list**

THE DOORS: The Calling of the Truth by LadyVeyl

A Gothic tale about evanescing truth and the darkness behind innocence. Life in Victorian England couldn't be more ephemeral and haunting for the unfortunate Lenora whose emotional torment stems from a tragedy she has been repressing for the past six years. Although her mind is in pieces, her heart is not... for now. The time has come to rekindle whatever remains of her faith as she delves in the hellish realm beyond the Doors, the very threshold between memories and nightmares. The truth is not good enough... But sometimes it's the only thing left to cling onto. (NOTE: There are two possible endings. I leave that to your discretion...)

Morons and Monarchs by Emma_Elpis

"You wish, Ea. I surmount you in all things," I wink, then whisper. "Bottom." Ea chuckles dryly. "We'll see, Viviendel, what you call me later." -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* In a world where immortal feuds hold more power than a ruling monarch, a Queen dies without an heir to take her throne. Only, she secretly has one, a Half-Bwardipuginin girl who is also her daughter. Viviendel is almost as hot-headed and clumsy as her mother, but much less elegant while doing both aspects. With Queens trying to destroy Vivinedel, and three men who hate her and charm her at first, but eventually fall into her charm, this book will exhilarate you, and teleport you into another dimension.

The Darkness Between Us by MountainGirl39

Liliana has spent her life running from the darkness that once consumed her. She has worked hard to rebuild herself, burying the scars from her past-both physical and emotional-beneath layers of routine and solitude. But no matter how far she runs, the shadows of her trauma linger, resurfacing as nightmares and fractured memories. As her 30th birthday approaches, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel. Haunted by a mysterious past, a protector who hides in the shadows has been watching over her for more than a decade. Adrian, a shifter whose own transformation was born out of pain and brutality, has pledged to protect Liliana at all costs. But his love for her has grown into something darker-an obsession. Torn between his desire to protect her from the men who once hurt her and his fear that she will choose another, Adrian's grip tightens as Liliana's past threatens to return. With unknown enemies hunting her, a dangerous secret lying dormant within, and Adrian's possessive love lurking in the background, Liliana's fight for control over her life grows more desperate. The line between protector and predator begins to blur as Adrian's obsession deepens, and Liliana's true power edges closer to the surface. In this haunting tale of love, trauma, and the supernatural, Darkness Between Us explores the fragile boundaries between protection and possession, the lingering grip of fear, and the power that lies hidden within the most broken of souls. Will Liliana reclaim her life, or will she become a prisoner of both her past and the man who claims to love her? Jp

Will Eliza navigate this maelstrom of emotions and choices to find her ultimate happiness? And who shall claim the chest concealing the Price family's fortunes?
