A murder mystery set against the backdrop of an alternate, medieval Earth:

In a time where men lust for power and laws are merely an inconvenience, Ami is afflicted by the worst sort of misfortune - undeniable beauty. Her cutting wit, honed through years of being on the run, proves to be sharper than her facial features and a weapon she wields expertly against the world.
 
Mikael harbors grand delusions of being able to solve mysteries that have baffled even the most astute of lawmen. The delusion becomes high fantasy when he actually expects to be paid for his 'services'.

After a chance encounter, Ami finds herself bickering endlessly with Mikael, her defensive facade clashing constantly with his unhealthy levels of self-admiration and conceit, leaving her wondering why she's subjecting herself to this torture. 

To make matters worse, when Ami swipes a commonplace looking strongbox from an unscrupulous banker, she becomes implicated in the banker's murder investigation.

Can the duo look past their petty squabbles and unravel the complicated nest of intrigue and subterfuge that surrounds the murder? Will Ami be able to let down her defensive walls and let Mikael help exonerate her?

Constance thought she could finally stop looking over her shoulder. She has a steady job as a hairstylist, rents a small apartment next door to her best friend, and keeps a routine that distracts her just enough to not have to dwell on her past. All seems right in her world until a homeless man who's on the FBI's Most Wanted list comes barreling through the salon, effectively ripping apart all the hard work she put into her life. Now she is forced to live as a fugitive from the law alongside the infuriating man who might just be the one to drag the skeletons out of her closet. Between her unresolved past and his unsure future, Constance works to clear his name so she can go back to living inconspicuously before the FBI catches them, or worse before the Mafia catches her. *** Luca didn't want to get attached. He had learned the hard way that people are innately bad and nobody really cares about you; his situation is a prime example of that. However, when a bossy woman shows kindness for no other reason than she wants to, he can't help but return to her house to save her from the goons following his trail and suddenly finds himself responsible for a woman with a past as mysterious as his future. With his new traveling companion having the appetite of a bear and an inability to be quiet, he soon learns that Constance is hard to keep at arm's length. While desperately trying to prove his innocence, Luca gets unexpectedly wrapped up in the strange, caring, trouble-making girl who just might be the key for him to get his life back. *** Highest Ranking: #1 Scissors #6 FBIagent #9 FBI #10 OnTheRun

49 parts Complete Mature

Tiffany Cotton was not who she said she was. The peculiar woman had shown up in Ravensfield one night, wielding a pistol with a familiarity that odd, run-of-the-mill spinsters shouldn't know how to do. She was bizarrely intelligent, wore gowns that were two sizes too big for her, and a smile that transformed her face. Kaede C'Lainn had a difficult time noticing anything anymore since he drank of a liquor that had been tainted with an enchantment, forcing his hand in an act that riddled him with guilt. But he noticed Miss Cotton. Particularly how she had the penchant to show up in places that she shouldn't be. There was something about her that spiked his intrigue... and suspicions. And after the last bout of recklessness on his part, he was not about the make the same mistake twice. He believed Miss Cotton to be part of a syndicate to end his brethren's life, and Kaede wouldn't allow that to happen again. Even if it meant apprehending the one woman whose kiss put all his broken pieces back together again in a world that rejected his kind. This is a fantasy-historical-romance with a lot of steam and a lot of romance! FMC is motivated to do some serious butt-kicking and MMC has a tail... :)
