Henriad (History Plays, Book 5)
The heir to a criminal empire must deal with his father's terminal illness, raising his siblings alone, falling in love, and the excrutiatingly painful trials that come with growing up. Since his mother's untimely death, Harry has been fiercly protective of his siblings and the family business, which would be easier if his father would trust him instead of pushing him aside. All Harry wants is to care for his family like his mother wanted, but everyone seems to prefer if he stayed out of the way. How is he supposed to learn to grow up and be a man if his father won't give him the time of day? Growing up is painful for everyone, falling in love is confusing, and family is even more confusing, somehow Harry must learn to navigate it all through heartache and triumph.

Kissed By Death
In the shadow-drenched kingdom of Virelund, Prince Casimir is feared as much as he is worshiped-an heir forged from midnight, blood, and prophecy. With eyes like dying stars and a heart buried beneath cruelty, he is destined to bring ruin... or salvation. No one truly knows which. Least of all him. But fate has teeth. When the personification of Death arrives to claim a soul long owed, Casimir doesn't bow-he dares to look Death in the eyes, and in that moment, something impossible blooms. Death, ancient and eternal, cold as cosmic void, finds itself fascinated by the defiant prince who does not flinch at destruction. Then there is Riven-warm, reckless, and devastatingly human. A boy who grew up with dirt-stained hands and a laugh too bright for the world Casimir inhabits. Riven carries no crown or dark prophecy, yet his presence shifts kingdoms more than any throne. He sees the prince beyond his shadows, and Casimir hates how easily he lets him in. Torn between the stillness of annihilation and the fragile pulse of life, Casimir stands at the center of a deadly triangle: One lover whispers forever. One lover whispers live. As an ancient curse awakens and the realm edges toward collapse, Casimir must choose- surrender to an immortal love that would unmake the world, or grasp the mortal boy who reminds him he still has a soul worth saving. For Death is patient... And love can be more dangerous than destiny. [UPDATE FRIDAY 4:30PM PST]Complete
Written With Hearts
My name is Abby Blair. I write erotic romance. I don't practise what I preach, though. With a string of failed relationships behind me, my books are now the only passion in my life. I create fictional men, because the real men in my life often let me down. I create a woman's perfect fantasy, because my fantasy doesn't exist. My female leads luckily get what I don't. Devotion. Love. Sex... A happy ending. So when I meet Yate Sheridan at my very first book signing, he makes me question a lot of things. He is like one of my leading men, jumping out from a chapter and jumping into my real life. He is charming and wickedly sexy, with a smile that could cause a roomful of knickers to drop in an instant. There is no question; Yate is appealing. He is also a cover model...a definite no-no for me. I don't like my men to be constantly drooled over, I leave that for my readers to do with my fictional men. So, as much as I like Yate, I can never date him. I'm way too insecure to go out with a guy like him. I have a painful past regret that has chipped away at my confidence. Being with someone like Yate, would only feed those insecurities. I write about sassy, confident, and bolder than brass heroines. They are sadly, everything that I'm not. When Yate kisses me; I know that I need to walk away. I need to walk, whilst my knickers are still on and my heart is still in tact. Only he doesn't want to leave things there. After that single kiss... He wants more. I'll admit, he gets under my skin, but I don't think I can give him what he wants? Yate Sheridan, well let's just say, he has other ideas. This is our story. ***DOES CONTAIN SWEAR WORDS & SCENES OF INTIMATE AND GRAPHIC NATURE*** WRITTEN WITH HEARTS Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2016 K B Mallion All rights reservedComplete
Là où notre histoire s'est arrêtée
Maël Laroche avait 16 ans le jour où il a été condamné à dix ans de prison pour homicide volontaire. Après des années à subir en silence le harcèlement de son camarade, Armand Le Brillac, il a choisi d'y mettre fin de la pire des manières : en le poussant violemment dans les escaliers, causant sa mort instantanée. Depuis, il purge sa peine en prison. Mais alors qu'il est sur le point de retrouver la liberté qu'il attend depuis des années, Maël est envahi par la peur. Cette angoisse est d'autant plus forte qu'il n'est pas prêt à affronter Florestan, son ancien amour, dont la trahison a déclenché le harcèlement qui a tout conduit à ce drame.Complete
All the Things Between Us
She began to fear every sound since she had met him. With every step she looked over her shoulder. Fear of him kept her wary. Trying to run from the nightmare he put her through was all that mattered, but the pain of being away from half of your soul was almost as unbearable as the fear motivating her. Diana had been without love for a very long time, and it doesn't seem like that's going to change. With the constant cruelities of her life, and only more to come, all that matters is escape. Escape by any means necessary. Life is rarely fair. Life on the run is even worse.

Broken and Battered, My Love [Pertemis Story]
"From maiden's vows a weary soul resides, to Olympus it shall rise, a hero's broken soul must submit, in order to end his battered rift, heartache must not prevail, for in the end it will end with maiden's veil, through crossroads the two souls must choose, and make sure that the pit will lose." *~*~*~*~*~*~* Percy Jackson never looked back. But, when his true love dies, things change. The gods force him-unwillingly-into godhood, and he's having a hard time coming to terms with it. When a maiden goddess and a hero are forced to come together, will true love eventually bloom? Or will they be tied together for eternity-in misery? After all, misery just loves company. (Cover art is not mine, nor are the Percy Jackson characters. The plot, however, is my own.)Complete
