I am thrilled to be partnered with e.l.f. Cosmetics for their #EyesLipsFierce Write-A-Thon.
Based on a true story.
I thought my life was full of harshness until I met her. When I first met her, she was a twenty-four-year-old mother of a six-year-old son. We became friends instantly and I got to hear her story. I was shocked and devastated.
Who could have guessed that a kind, gentle, lively girl had such a painful past?
From that point onward, I realized how blessed I am. I promised that I would never pity myself and I will strive everyday to achieve my goals and dreams.
If she can fight even though she has nothing, why can't I when I have everything?
P.S. For every story written under the #EyesLipsFierce e.l.f. Cosmetics will be donating a dollar to Girls Inc, a nonprofit that seeks to empower women!

Sparks To A Flame
"Getting closer to me is like walking straight into the flames of a burning building." "Then burn me." I interrupted, staring deep into her eyes. "Engulf me in all your raging flames and let's see if I survive." She gazed at me for a moment, her head slightly shaking, eyes warning me, "You wouldn't want that... You'd only regret it." "I'd only enjoy it." I corrected. "I'd crawl through those flames, burning and melting down to the bone if it meant finding that one place of security. That one place that's free of flames." [For some people, the past is a place in your mind where you could reminisce on good times and valuable moments with the people you called family. For Nicole, it's where her darkest secrets lie and where the people who were considered "family" visited her in her nightmares. Trust is almost a thing of the past for her. She's avoided because of it, feared. No one dares to understand her, no one dares to even look in her direction... But HE did and he wasn't going to be pushed away easily.] . . .

BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete

Blind Instincts
*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment.

BLIND 🌑CORA HALE🌑
It happened so fast. It was all chaos. The emotions. The tears. The pain. Flashes. One second...I could see. The next...I had been blinded...by my best friend. My own best friend lashed out at me and slashed his claws across my eyes. Permanently blinded. Never to see again. Now I'm terrified...I've always been afraid of being blind. And now that I am...I'm living my worst fear for the rest of my life. And on top of that...since I'm blind...they kicked me out of the pack and stopped being friends all together. Leaving me alone by myself. Helpless. Defenseless. Useless. Never able to drive my mom's beloved Jeep ever again. Overwhelmed with this constant fear of being blind. It never went away. It was just darkness. Endless...perpetual...darkness. And the sad part is...I'll never be able to make it stop. So...there you have it...my friends are no longer my friends, my former best friend blinded me, I can never drive again, and now I'm depressed...oh, and terrified. So...yeah. Now I'm the much less cool version of Dare Devil that has no fighting skills, no sixth sense, no nothing. I'm just...blind. But there was one person who went against everyone else. A beautiful werewolf...named Cora Hale. And if it wasn't for her...I'd be dead right now. ©️stayleyhasmyheart All Rights Reserved.

They fear us because we are different. They fear us because we have special powers, because the goddess gave us gifts. The goddess gave us these powers to protect the non-gifted. They don't care about that. They fear us because they think we will hurt them. They believe we are power hungry, the irony. They have hunted us for centuries now. Killing us because they are afraid. We just want to live out lives in peace. Why must there be a fear for people who are different? Why must there be such hate for people who just want to live their lives? My name is Lydia Martin. I fight for my freedom. This is my story. The story of how I fell in love with my target. The story of how I fell in love with the one man I wasn't supposed to fall in love with.Complete
