"A tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny." This Aesop moral is the foundation upon which genius Autist and founder, Marlo H. Prater, has built her life's work; action-based advocacy is the name and high-stakes extractions are her game. For someone so selfless, Marlo is quiet closed off to the rest of the world; loss and trauma keep her bound to an unsatisfactory life. 
Iris Fitzhugh is a hollow shell of who she once was; she's also a mother of two trapped in desperate and dark marriage to a wicked man with an unknown yet sinister connection to our hero.

Will a mysterious extraction request to rescue a beautiful, kind woman change the course of Marlo's life and heart forever? Or, will she fall prey to an elaborate scheme to lure her back into darkness forever?

Bow-Legged by MalloryHayes1999
17 parts Ongoing Mature
Shall we do an experiment? Hear me out: an enemies-to-lovers where love is complicated but never toxic. Where the female lead knows what she wants and takes it. Where the male lead doesn't growl, rage or slam her into walls. A journey with all the angst, secrets, spice and heartbreak of dark romance without the abuse. Are you ready? ******************************************** It's 1984, Queen on the radio and rage in the streets. Moira Bourne, stretched thin between her nanny job, family drama and university classes, fights for the recognition she deserves. Evander Ward, fresh from a gap year in Europe and eager to prove himself, is ready for redemption. Two people whose paths were never meant to cross. When they do, the collision blows their life to smithereens. ******************************************** "Pass the tea, will you?". It came over me - it being it all, the shame, the anger, the sense of injustice and the nine hours I hadn't slept the night before. Those, maybe, more than anything else, because I reached for said tea and, possessed by that mighty cocktail of resentment, spat in it. I did so making sure he could see it, he could hear it. Then I passed it over to him and waited. His smile, at this point, had turned overjoyed, putting the previous ones to shame, revealing their graft. He had received the answer he was hoping for. He took the cup and chugged it down. Looked me straight in the eye and drunk it all. ******************************************** Fair warning: mentions of racism, ED, assault, sexism, and classism ahead. You know where your limits lie.

65 parts Complete

{Formerly "Every Bookshop Needs a Cat"} Anya Ferguson arrives at Fleckney, having lost her job in Bristol. She's determined to support her daughter, even if it means enduring every possible mistreatment from the family of her ex-husband. Except, it seems that fate isn't done torturing her. When her daughter breaks into a small cabin in the woods in search of her cat, Anya is placed in front of an impossible task to pay off the owner of the cabin for all the destroyed property, including an antique vase that had been in his family for generations. She's ready to be his cleaner and his cook - but what will she do when she's tasked with being his fake-fiancée? "Paint Me Anew" is the second book in Fleckney Fields Series, but can be read independently. All of my stories take place in the fictional county of Fleckney - so, if you like the place, stay and read about it in other stories.
