Song of the Seraph - A Dark Fallen Angel Paranormal Romance
I never asked for this. I never asked to be drawn to him, a man with the weight of centuries on his shoulders and the darkness of the world in his eyes. But now that I've found him... I can't let go. Lily's life has been nothing short of a struggle-until the night she stumbles onto Seraphiel's doorstep, drawn by a force she can't understand. He's a stranger, but something about him feels like home, like a missing piece of her soul. The more time she spends with him, the more she realizes he's no ordinary man. He's an angel-battle-worn and broken-and she's the reincarnation of someone he once loved. A love bound to a prophecy that threatens both their lives. As the connection between them deepens, so does the tension-an attraction that pulls them closer with every stolen touch, every lingering glance. The sparks between them could ignite something far darker than either of them imagined, something that may cost them their lives-or their hearts. "I don't know if I'm strong enough for this," Lily whispers, her breath hot against his skin. "But I'm willing to find out." As forces from Heaven and Hell close in, Lily must decide: Is the love she feels for him a gift... or a curse that will destroy them both? Can their love survive the darkness? Or will the prophecy tear them apart before they can claim each other completely?Complete
Capturing Her Heart
{REWRITING N PROGRESS!! - 13/25 have been rewritten. you've been warned} ---- ---- --- ---- --- Elysian Monroe held one conviction above all others: she simply couldn't believe in love. The agony and despair it often brought seemed entirely avoidable to her. She could never comprehend why people would gamble their well-being for something so fleeting, something labeled as "love." Determined to unravel this mystery, she pursued a career as a relationship therapist, hoping to gain insight into the nature of love. Yet, what she found only reinforced her beliefs; she amassed a collection of facts that painted love as a hollow endeavor. To Elysian, love was ultimately pointless. On the other hand, Akari yearned for a different kind of freedom. For a decade, her life had revolved around the man she now sought to sever ties with-the father of her child. Exhausted from the emotional toll of their relationship, she found that her sole focus should be on her daughter. At least, that's what she had convinced herself. But Akari couldn't quite decipher Elysian, and this enigma only drew her in further. As she interacted with Elysian, her curiosity began to deepen, compelling her to explore the layers of the woman sitting across from her-Elysian Monroe.

I can't stop thinking about you. Your laugh, your smile, your voice. How you manage to pull a joke at a time like this, to how peaceful, and beautiful you look when you're sleeping." I smile.

Bound by Flames (f/f angels and demons | dark / forbidden romance)
Her voice came out grainy. "I'm tired of being the devil's whip." She ground her teeth together. "I'm tired of killing for evil. I saw you the other night and it made me feel something I'd never felt before. The want to protect you." She looked down at her feet, her expression unfamiliar. "I've been a monster for five hundred years." She looked at me. "And when I saw you, I saw good. I saw purity." - "And what did my angel think about?" She growled. I could feel her breath in my ear. The possessiveness that clouded her burrowed into me. She bit my ear again and I sighed in pleasure. "Tell me," she demanded. "I thought about you," I admitted. My core began to throb. "And was it good?" She moved her lips down to my neck, biting the artery that beat rapidly. I swallowed. "No one has ever made me feel like you do." My voice came out husky. I couldn't take much more of this. - Camael never asked to be saved by a demon. She didn't even know that demons could be saviors. Her purpose was to do the right thing, even when it felt so wrong.

Pulling them together. Wrenching them from the lives they knew. Chemistry had its own magic.Complete
