"When I said I've had a hard life, it wasn't meant as a challenge for the universe to up the ante into a living hell. Let me start from the beginning, this spiral of madness began the night I died after running into a burning building. That's when he saved and doomed me all in one night in a matter of minutes. My life is threatened too many times to count and I've had to pull the trigger more times than I'd like to admit. I'm never alone through all this thankfully, he was there, always there even though Jack was the most annoying creature to walk among the living. That God damned vampire drove me mad in bad and in good, very...good ways."

This all starts the night she runs into a burning building risking her life to save another, only to be met with her own demise. However, fate decided to intervene in the form of a pale skin and fanged man. From then on the crazy course of life spirals into a bottomless pit of madness.

His c**k stares at me, his well hung, pretty c**k, looks directly at me. I look up to see him moving closer. As he approaches the edge of the pool, he dives in. He swims the entire length of the pool without taking a breath and as he reaches the other side, he swiftly pulls himself out of the water and is standing there naked. Naked and wet. "Do you just casually invite strangers to skinny dip?" I ask him with sarcasm in my tone. "Only ones who make my c**k hard." He replies, not missing a beat. Well, okay then. He is obviously very confident. He walks over to me, water dripping off his body. "Enjoy the pool." He smirks, grabs a towel that was on one of the sun chairs, wraps it around his bottom half and walks back inside. ___________________________________________ This is the first book I have written, so please be kind :)Complete
Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete

Endgame
A hunter born to slay vampires. A queen destined to rule them. A love forbidden by blood and bound by fate. Let's bring back the vampire romance!! But no love triangle this time!

But when he is bound by oath to protect vampire princess, Nyelle Dravenhart, the last heir of Lunovar, everything he believes is tested. As Nyelle rises from a frightened princess to a fierce queen, Cassian finds himself torn between duty and a forbidden love that defies kingdoms. Together, they face ruthless kings, cursed werewolves, and the dark schemes of witches.

Whether captured by the monster of her nightmares or captivated by the kiss of her unfortunate first love, Alaska Rivera is constantly surrounded by enemies. She can't escape the leader of the enemy pack who wants her dead for her parents' actions, and she certainly can't escape Hunter, the boy who used to be her dream but is now nothing more than the one person she despises more than anything- maybe, sometimes, even the real enemy. But there's just something about Hunter that keeps her hooked and wondering if anything could ever change, despite him still being her protector from the leader of the enemy pack. When the stakes get higher and higher, and when it grows near impossible to escape the real enemy, all becomes fair in love and war- even the spitfire to melt the Heart of Ice. © All rights reserved.Complete
