"As the men turned around, their arrogant swagger diminished, and unbeknownst to Alina, they saw a frightening sight. The tall stranger held one of their own in a choking grip, and, before the eyes of those villainous drunkards, the man gagged and gasped for air, his face turning numerous colors. The suffocating man finally fell limp, and the imposing stranger cast him aside on the ground. Alina heard the stranger nearing her, so she stiffened her spine in response to what she was sure would be blows or some type of malevolent action. Instead, she was shocked to feel strong yet gentle hands on her waist, lifting her up, up, off the ground, and into the stranger's arms. She struggled in protest, but her attempts to escape were futile, and only resulted in the stranger's muscled arms encircling her even tighter, like bands of steel."
Astuam is a broken kingdom, filled with broken people. When a young apothecary's apprentice meets an intimidating stranger, her life is turned upside down. The fates that hang in the balance will soon change everything- for good, or for evil.

Moonlight
"Stop that." I jumped slightly as my eyes shot over to the familiar hulking form standing in the doorway of my bathroom. I always forget how tall Derek is until I'm standing right next to him. Or in this case in front of him. "Stop what?" my brows furrowed as I watched his reflection fully enter the room until he stood right behind me. His large hands rested on either side of me on the counter, trapping me between his arms. His chin hovered over my left shoulder as his forest eyes scanned my face in the mirror, his lips forming a small barely noticeable frown. But I noticed it. "Stop judging yourself." was his simple reply, but I know that something like that is easier said than done. "you're beautiful, red..." he leaned in further and I could feel his hard chest pressed against my back, making my insides do somersaults. "if you knew what I've done... the people I've hurt... you wouldn't think I was beautiful either..." ...... Alice Books has blood on her hands and doesn't believe she deserves a shot at redemption. A shot at love. Or a shot at life in general. What she did to have blood on her hands was out of self-defense and survival, but she doesn't see it that way and doubts she ever will... Until she meets the bad boy, Derek Wilder, who- underneath all the glares, tattoos, piercings, and leather jackets- is an absolute goofball.

Or will Derek's demons ruin everything for everyone? ...............

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

My heart beat was racing his and each breath he took sent electricity all over my body. I bit my tongue, scared of what my brain could make me say.

Honeyed Waters
She is chaos in human skin-razor-edged, ice-veined, and unafraid to draw blood with nothing but her tongue. Shadows cling to her like a second skin, each one stitched with secrets she refuses to name. She carries her own ruin in her pocket, a temptation she fingers when the nights get too long, yet something in her still craves the taste of heat before the plunge. Fate has a way of answering such cravings-this time in the form of a man who looks like sin carved into flesh. He is polished, well put together, flawless, and far too controlled-until one looks close enough to see the cracks. Beneath his perfection coils a hunger so consuming it borders on feral. His protection is not a choice, but a possession-obsessive, intoxicating, and ruthless. He doesn't just want her-he intends to claim her, worship her, and cage her, all in the same breath. When their worlds collide, desire becomes a weapon, each touch blurring the line between devotion and destruction. In his arms, she may find the only refuge strong enough to survive what hunts her-or the fire that finally consumes her whole. Together, they are a warning and a promise: honey-sweet, poison-laced, and deadly enough to bring gods to their knees.
