The Phoenix is a terrifying mercenary, a soldier who travels the ten kingdoms, fighting for any who can afford his price. It is said that he is eight feet tall, with the strength of ten men. He breathes fire in battle, burning his victims alive. It is told that he is the unholy combination of a sorcerer and a dragon, and that with a wave of his hand all those who oppose him fall to their knees, defeated. The only reason he carries a sword into battle at all is because it amuses him to fight those who believe they have a chance against him. But The Phoenix is not what everyone expects...him...to be.

Destiny of Fire: The Normality (WotP)
"I felt so caged again, as if I had wings but I wasn't allowed to fly, a voice but I wasn't allowed to speak. It was a scary feeling at first, but later you just get used to it, but you just want freedom and the feeling of safety. Why did I have to be caged in this dump? I thought about the Phoenix again. Did the Phoenix hate me? What had I ever done to this Phoenix? I balled my fists up in anger as I stared outside the window still, watching a great brown eagle fly outside." ("The Normality" is part 1 of "Destiny of Fire", the first book of the "War of the Phoenix" series) For quite a long time, a legendary bird called the "Phoenix" tried to possess a woman and her children to come in hopes of taking over the world.

Beautiful Trauma (Complete)
Book One in the 'Beautiful' Trilogy. Aria Valenti thought she'd buried her past the day she walked out of New York. Now she's back - older, wiser, disguising secrets, and still haunted by emerald blue eyes that once promised her the world and destroyed it. Dominic De Luca is no longer the reckless boy she loved. He's the Don. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. With blood on his hands. But when their worlds collide again, secrets ignite, and enemies circle closer. She's the only weakness he can't afford, yet the one thing he can't seem to let go. A story of love, betrayal, and the kind of passion that can burn a city to the ground. ******************************************* Rankings: #1 under #badboy (06/02/2021) #1 under #action-adventure (29/11/2020) #1 under #sexy (20/11/2020) #1 under #truelove (16/10/2020) #1 under #action-romance (02/10/2020) #1 under #gangleader (23/09/2020) #2 under #gangster (24/06/2020) #2 under #secrets (20/06/2020) #2 under #badboy (09/06/2020) #1 under #mafiaromance (28/05/2020) #1 under #stronglanguage (28/05/2020) #1 under #sexy (16/04/2020) #2 under #lust (27/04/2020) #1 under #truelove (10/02/2020) #2 under #mafia (10/02/2020) #1 under #action-adventure (19/02/2020) #1 under #shooting (19/02/2020) #1 under #badboylovestory (19/02/2020) #1 under #mafiaromance (10/2019)Complete

Beside
''Tell me how it feels,'' he says. "Good," I gasp, my entire body trembling. Deeper. Harder. Perfect. Like we've been doing this for years. His hand finds my jaw, fingers firm as he tilts my head up, making me look at him. And that's it. Waves of heat zip to my toes as my nails scrape down his back. I don't think about what comes next -- him pulling his shirt on and leaving. I don't feel heartbroken when I imagine myself alone in here. It's casual, our intimacy. And it's too late to renegotiate. ***** When Fox hooks up with his new roommate at a masked club, he has no idea their fling is just the beginning. The woman he's living with is the same girl who shared candy with him under a playground slide. 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 STANDALONE NOVEL *ANGSTY EMOTIONAL SLOW BURN *MEN YEARNING Copyright © 2024-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
