IN THE MIDST OF YOUR BATTLE
In the grand tapestry of existence, we journey through life forming connections that we hope will withstand the test of time. Yet, the unexpected departure of those we deemed lifelong companions hits with an unparalleled force. It's a poignant realization that even the most steadfast bonds can unravel, catching us off guard in the dance of existence. Life, like a capricious maestro, surprises us with melodies of goodbyes we never foresaw. The heart, once anchored in the warmth of familiarity, finds itself adrift in the vast sea of solitude. The abruptness of such partings, akin to autumn leaves torn away by an unforeseen breeze, leaves us grappling with an unanticipated and profound loss, navigating the aftermath of connections that silently fade into the recesses of memory. But what if I am just the one who chooses to be this way? Am I stupid? A fool? or just in love?

The Arrangement (Omegas of Hunter's Point Book 1)
TRIGGER WARNINGS: sexual assault/violence against women Siobhan - I was raised to believe I was special, a jewel, all because of simple trick of genetics. I am an omega. As such, my life was mapped out from birth - mate an alpha of good family, have his children, keep his home - until my future was snatched away from me. Against all odds, I've built a life for myself in a society that now tells me I am worthless. As an unmated omega, my options are limited, but I can no longer afford to accept those limits. Then, an alpha walks into my life - an alpha the old me used to dream about - and he has the money to make my dreams come true. But what will he want in return? Damian - I am everything society expects an alpha to be: rich, handsome, and successful. I want nothing more than to adopt my newly-orphaned nephew, but the courts say that a lone alpha is too rough to be a caregiver. I need a mate, someone softer, someone fit to raise a child, someone to help me fake it just long enough to get custody. It'll take a miracle. What I need is an omega who doesn't want a mate. I never expected to meet her in a nightclub... #1 in AlphaandOmega 9/28/2021, 10/7-11/2022, 11/22-29/2022, 8/14/2024, 2/18/2025, 6/3-11/2025, 6/24-7/3/2025 #1 in Omegaverse 5/7/2022, 4/11/2023, 7/27-28/2024 #1 in Modern 6/10-13, 16-19/2022, 1/17-27/2025, 1/31-2/1/2025 #1 in Knotting 10/8/2022, 10/17/2023, 6/25-27/2025, 11/25/2025, 7/8-9/2026 #1 in Estrus 8/23/2023, 9/7-18/2023, 11/30-2/19/2024 #1 in Alpha 10/12-13/2023 #1 in Omega 10/12-13/2023 #1 in Contemporary Romance 12/7-8/2023, 12/10-20/2023 #1 in PNR 1/2-5/2024, 7/31-8/20/2024, 10/9-10/2024, 10/28-12/6/2024, 9/30/2025-10/1-29/2025 #1 in Heats 1/7-18/2024, 1/24-2/13/2024, 9/16-10/4/2026 #1 in Fake Marriage 5/13-15/2024 #1 in AlphaxOmega 5/30-6/1/2024, 5/10/2025 #1 in Nesting 1/18/2026 #1 in Matebond 3/28-29/2026Complete

Pessimist
[01/07/2021] - [13/04/2023] "You can't keep going around like a fucking maniac and treating me like shit. That isn't how relationships work," Sophia's voice was havoc as she verbalized her emotions. "That isn't how we work..." Tired, vulnerable and agitated at not only him, but herself. How could she let herself get this far, in such little time? He looked down, ashamed, not wanting to respond. His heart felt like it was beating faster than it should've. "I forgot how it felt to love you." As soon as those words were uttered from Sophia's lips, his world broke apart. Gone, in just a matter of seconds. - - - When Sophia Adam moves to a new town, she wishes nothing more than a boring, new life, to separate herself from her past. Moving meant completing university and getting a clerkship with a judge. Moving meant making refreshing new friends, and meeting a mysterious guy that seems hell-bent on getting to know her. To Sophia, moving to a new town was everything she imagined and more. She just didn't expect her past to follow.Complete
The Unbreakable Thread Of LOVE
What is Love? Is it merely a fleeting emotion, or could True Love truly last forever? What of the elusive Thread of Love-is it strong enough to endure the trials of time, or can it snap under the weight of despair? And what of love at first sight? Is it a genuine phenomenon, or simply a figment of our imagination? Picture this: a Girl meets a Boy for the first time, and in that moment, they discover feelings that ignite something deep within them-something they never knew existed. What is this sensation that takes hold of their hearts? But how did they come to meet? Ah, that is where the story unfolds. They encounter each other during a practice-a practice that seems mundane at first but holds the potential for something extraordinary. What kind of practice, you ask? That's for you to discover later, as revealing too much now would spoil the thrill of the journey ahead. Yet, let's not ignore the shadows that linger over the Girl. Before this moment, she was shrouded in darkness, carrying a burden that weighed heavily on her heart. Why does she hurt so deeply? Trust me, you'll come to understand her pain-and perhaps, you'll find that in the depths of their shared experiences, they may forge an unbreakable bond that even the harshest trials cannot sever. The tale is just beginning. Stay tuned, for the true essence of their story lies ahead, waiting to be unraveled.Complete
Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete
His Heart to Love
"Been about you, since I met you and imma keep it that way" You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without trying, bring down my mood without the intention to and affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain with just words how much you mean to me, but you're the only one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life.

Into the Velvet
*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."Complete
