Time hadn't been kind to Alex Dark. He faced war and came back to face a broken heart. But when he meets Selene (aka Lilith), a burlesque dancer at The Reyna Rose, he finds himself entranced by her entirely and is afraid of what is to follow.
Will he trust again or is he destined to be alone?
"I have been in dark places before and it followed me when I came back, but since I met you, the darkness has disappeared and been replaced with light."
"How cliche, calling me the light to your darkness soldier."

~complete~ Lilith Ashford was a name you'd easily hear in the hospital hallways but you wouldn't spot her easily until you were keen enough. She was usually in the spotlight yet not clearly seen. No one concentrated enough on her until a new medic is hired and he begins showing up everywhere she is. They say that he's cold and aloof, always minding his business and rarely interacting with the other staff but why does he keep trying to help everytime Lilith finds herself in a fix? ✪ ✪ ✪ "My eyes," for a moment, my hands stopped shaking and my attention instantly shifted to him. "Look into them when you get too overwhelmed," He uttered softly as he held the tiny palm of my hand against his. I followed the pattern of his breathing, firmly grasping onto his hand and the edge of his white coat as the lift went up to the fortieth floor. Not once did my eyes deter from his.Complete

H E A L - the death cure
Book Three-Heal - "Hold on. We need to talk about this whole 'overprotective boyfriend' thing. It's getting a little old." He shrugged and shoved his hands in his pockets looking down to his feet. "You already know how I feel about you doing this and I know there's no convincing you so there's not really anything to talk about." He said not lifting his head. "Yeah but you can't be mad at me for this. You have to trust that I'll be careful and I know that's hard, but I'll be okay. You've got my back right?" She nudged his shoulder and then his forehead to make him look at her. "Yeah. I've got your back." - ThomasxOC Started-9/29/22 Finished-11/18/22 *i do not own 'The Death Cure', I only own my OC's and their stories*Complete

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete
