They've never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will."
Alessandra is tired of being overlooked, but she has a plan to gain power:
1) Woo the Shadow King.
2) Marry him.
3) Kill him and take his kingdom for herself.
No one knows the extent of the freshly crowned Shadow King's power. Some say he can command the shadows that swirl around him to do his bidding. Others say they speak to him, whispering the thoughts of his enemies. Regardless, Alessandra knows what she deserves, and she's going to do everything within her power to get it.
But Alessandra's not the only one trying to kill the king. As attempts on his life are made, she finds herself trying to keep him alive long enough for him to make her his queen-all while struggling not to lose her heart. After all, who better for a Shadow King than a cunning, villainous queen?

The man pushed back the bush concealing her and moved his face so close to hers that she could smell his cologne running off him and with just moving an inch forward, their lips would be smashed together. "Mine." He growled. She shook her head. She didn't want to be his. She didn't want him to be hers. But how could she turn down her mate? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meet Cordelia Hale She's beautiful, nineteen, long red Ariel-like hair, tan skin, and bright green eyes.

His Heart, Mine
She swears she hates him. He's convinced he hates her more. But when secrets, lies, and late-night whispers begin to blur the line between enemies and something they wouldn't even consider, neither of them is ready for what's coming. *** Aliana is loud, impulsive, and dangerously unpredictable. She lies when she's scared, smiles when she's breaking, and keeps everyone away with her endless sarcasm and sharp tongue. She doesn't need anyone. Especially not him. Ali is silent storms and cold stares. The boy with the bad reputation, a past no one talks about, and a temper that makes people flinch. He wants nothing to do with drama, especially when it wears red lipstick and calls him names. They can't stand each other. So why do they keep ending up alone in the same room? Why does every fight feel like foreplay? And why does hating him hurt more than it should? ~~~~~~ He kisses me, again and again, raw and consuming, and then pulls away; I can feel his green eyes piercing my soul. "What you told me last time, say it again," he whimpers breathlessly. "What?" I manage to ask, confused, and reel him in again for another kiss. He pulls back again, his breath hot against my skin. "That you hate me, tell me that you hate me." "I hate you," I tell him almost instantly, the lie burning on my tongue. He kisses me harder and more hungrily, and the words slip out again from my tongue: "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." His murmurs deepen into groans, and at this exact moment, I ask myself how I'm still standing, still breathing, still present. ~~~~~~Complete

Forced To Marry A Gang Leader (COMPLETED)
MUST READ: This book has been written till chapter 42, then the chapter after is an explanation of what I was planning for the ending as I don't have time to update and feel that you guys deserve to know. I'm so sorry for any grammar mistakes as this book was written a while ago, when I was quite young and I don't know what possessed me to name my characters Shadow and London but read at your own risk hehe. Regardless, I've had many messaged about this book so I thought I'll republish it again but like I said it's not the best! "I do." What would you do when you come home after 2 years and you're told you're going to marry a gang leader? London Pierce definitely didn't take it well. Unfortunately she didn't know much about gangs, so when she slaps the most feared gang leader and her future husband. Lets just say he didn't take it well. Shadow Winters hates it when people disrespect him. He's the type who won't think twice before killing you. He's very cocky and might I add has very bad anger issues. Mix him with London, who doesn't take shit from no one, who has terrible anger problems and is not afraid to put up a fight. I don't think it's a good combination. But what will she do when she finds out the real reason for why she was forced to marry Shadow? What will she do when she realizes she's slowly falling for Shadow?Complete
