What happens when a powerful sorceress falls in love with a vampire fledgling? The world burns.

Revenge, forbidden love, tragic pasts, and secrets.


Catriona doesn't remember her name, where she lives, or even her appearance. All she knows is that she has powerful magic and that HE must pay for what HE did to her. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember who HE is or really what HE did. All she knows is that sick sour feeling in her stomach when she remembers that hand reaching for her, and that her last act will be to watch HIM die bleeding at her feet. There's no dying until then. 

Never mind the magic that tethers her to three strangers and threatens to strip her of her mind. Never mind the pain that comes when they're too far apart, like razor wire slicing in her brain. Everything is a distraction from making HIM pay... except maybe Vrythien. The pale elf has his secrets, more than even her empty mind holds. Beautiful enough to be ruinous, he's too pretty to be a distraction almost as though he's made to draw her in... and keep her from doing what she needs to survive.

Nova disguise as a boy to enter the military school. If she is discovered as a girl, she will be kicked out. She is desperate to hide from trackers who have been following her for a dozen years. No one would think to look for her in an all-male military school. She hides among werewolves and is one of the very few nonshifters at the school. She catches the new instructor's curiosity, and her identity is threatened. He claims to be her mate, but she knows that her kind don't have a mate and desperately tries to avoid him. If he stumbles upon her true identity, she is screwed. "What are you doing?!" growls his highness, ripping the knife from my hands. It tingles as his fingers close around my wrist. Fresh blood flows from the wound, turning his hands red. Deep throaty sounds, rumbling in his chest. "You hurt yourself," he says softly, pain evident in his voice. I look up and frown. "It's just a small cut," I reply, annoyed. None of the other cadets get this kind of attention. Besides, we have to learn this to pass the exam. "Shhh, it's going to be okay," he says, pressing me close. My whole side explodes with sparks. It tickles me. "You have to stop hurt yourself. Why are you even here? How am I going to protect you here?" he asks angrily. "I don't need your protection!" I shout, pushing him away. I get an angry growl back. Quickly I grab another knife and throws it over my shoulder, hitting bulls' eye. He glares at me, and the room has gone completely silent. That's when I discover that I may have gone too far with the insanely possessive highness, even though I'm grateful for the extra lessons he gives me. Then suddenly everyone hurries out of the training area. Leaving me alone with the growling, red eyed alpha. *This book contains graphic depictions of violence, sexuality, strong language, and other mature themes.* English is not my first language.

Valora Anton is a trained, lethal assassin, and she's running for her life. No one-no one-had ever come close to catching her. But when the net finally closes, she's transferred to an island prison house in the Atlantic, a place known for its brutality. She's certain this is where her journey ends-until she realizes she's wrong. Phoenix Knight is the iron-fisted warden of Atlanta Prisonhouse, feared by every woman under his control. Ruthless, unforgiving, and unbending, he rules with an absolute hand, tormenting misbehaved prisoners without a second thought. His pleasure comes from their suffering, from breaking them, bending them to his will. But when Valora enters his domain, everything shifts. There's something about her-something sharp, dangerous, poisonous-that draws him in. On one hand, he's repulsed by her icy demeanor, her unyielding nature. On the other, he's irresistibly allured by her presence, by the fire that simmers beneath her calm exterior. For the first time in years, Phoenix is out of control. And he hates it. Valora is no ordinary prisoner, and Phoenix is no typical captor. Their dynamic is a volatile cocktail of aggression, manipulation, and raw tension. Each encounter between them ignites a new spark, a dangerous push-pull of venomous desire that neither of them can resist. They are two forces of destruction, locked in a dance that threatens to undo everything they've ever believed in. The real question is: How far will they go to destroy each other? And in the end, who will be left standing, and at what cost? [Second Book of the V-Series] A Standalone Novel Complete.

"I've had enough of your games," He growled, sending an involuntary shiver up my spine. "For the last time, who... the fuck... are you?" The demand had his voice dropping a pitch lower with each word and it suddenly got harder to breathe. A ripple of anxiety began a slow crawl up my spine, and I moistened my lips. "I- I'm Willow, Julie's girlfriend?" Why was I nervous all of a sudden? "Again with this shit, I don't care who the fuck your little girlfriend is. What do you want?" ~•~•~•~ Following her father's passing, Willow Macomber and her family were plunged into the harsh realities of poverty, where they struggled to make ends meet while burdened with debt. Saddled with a neglectful mother consumed by addiction and betrayed by a world that preyed on the vulnerable, Willow's once fragile heart hardened over time, leading her to develop a deep mistrust of men and seek solace with a woman who offered the love and security she longed for. Unbeknownst to Willow, Julie's deception poses a grave threat, entangling her in a complex web of deceit. Enter Dorian Wilhelm-White: ruthless, self-absorbed, volatile, and strikingly handsome, Dorian embodies everything Willow despises. Yet from their very first encounter, she was his, whether she liked it or not; and against his better judgment, Dorian is drawn to her fierce defiance with a passion. Sparks fly despite their stark differences, and attraction, unlike anything before simmers beneath the surface of their anger and suspicion. However, Dorian harbors his own darkness, and Willow soon comes to realize that giving in to him may come at a steep price... But is it one she's ready to pay?

A Pet for the Dragons

122 parts Ongoing Mature

❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book.
