"Funny how you think you can defeat me."
"Funny how you think I can't."
Keska Lenell has no people, no family and no home. Having been destroyed by the Cruel Ones, beings with unparalleled power and a thirst for blood, Keska knows what it's like to be stripped of everything. Empty, cold and lifeless, there's only one thing which keeps her sane. Vengeance, and she's hell bent on getting it.
Unfortunately, getting revenge turns out to be quite troublesome when you have an incredibly high bounty on your head. Keska is confident in her abilities, having evaded a multitude of hunters already, but a certain bounty hunter with annoyingly pretty eyes is proving to be more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
Mav Wolfe has worked for the Crest House for as long as he could remember. Sure, working for murderous, godlike people took a toll on his morals, or at least they would if he had any, but they paid handsomely and that was well enough for him.
Known as the best bounty hunter in the west of Pell, Mav has never met a bounty he hasn't turned in. That is, until the hunt for Keska Lenell begins. With a smart mouth and irritatingly attractive smirks, Mav has never been more eager to get the job done. Unfortunately, hunting her down is proving to be more difficult than he had imagined.
Mav quickly learns that his bounty is strong, smart and definitely doesn't like to play nice.

Predator and Prey
[The Force Awakens/ a bit before] (Book 1) Zheth Crogh's life was never easy, not that hers should be. Being a bounty hunter always creates enemies and being a smuggler with a sharp wit doesn't help either. However, she somehow manages to survive whatever is thrown her way with a smirk under her hooded face. Zheth's reputation for her silver tongue isn't the only thing that has spread her name through the galaxy, her skills in killing are just as in demand as her mentor, Boba Fett's, had been. When war broke out between the Resistance and First Order she planned to use the rift in peace to her advantage like all of her kind. However, Zheth will soon learn that payment and loyalty are two different things as secrets are revealed, people reappear, and chaos begins to reign supreme over all in this war. She will have to decide who she should really serve, not just as a hired bounty hunter and smuggler, but as a friend who could almost be a family member to some if she'd let them in. Death is the end to all people, or aliens, who choose her path though and in the end she could end up just like her victims if she takes a wrong step.Lengkap

Children of the Dead
Enver Williams is leading on a normal life but that is all ripped away from her when she is taken from her home town. When Enver comes to realize that there are others like her in more ways than one, she is determined to free herself and her newfound friends from the physiological torment of her closely supervised enclosure. ••• "Do I make you nervous, Enver?" Another idiotic question. "Wouldn't the man who kidnapped you and threatened to kill you make you nervous?" I snap at him. He only smiles an odd, crooked grin. I can make that disappear. "Wouldn't a murder make you nervous?" Now it's my turn to pull the strings. He looks at me with hurt in his eyes. "How many times do I have to say it?" He pauses, I guess hoping for some sort of mercy in my eyes, "I didn't kill her." "Liar!" I shout. "Why won't you believe me?!" "Would you believe yourself?" "It wasn't me who shot her," he sits on a stool, resting his elbows on his knees. "Then how do you know she was shot?" "I saw it. I saw him kill her," his voice was riddled with such pure vulnerability and pain it begged me to believe him. "Who?" I try to sound sympathetic, but it comes out as scared. Maybe, subconsciously, I am scared.Lengkap

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Lengkap
