Excerpt:
Dorothy tongued the back of her teeth, as if prodding her mouth to form a reply. Nothing came. Another brisk breeze passed over the fields, crumbling the stalks of golden wheat. The driver broke the silence as he cleared his throat.
"You know, priest, I could turn around and tell them I refused to drive you," he offered.
Dorothy remained silent.
"After the Onyx Order fell there's, well," he grunted to clear his throat. "If the Onyx Order couldn't save a grand city, what hope is there for a writer?" His soft eyes flickered away from the road to see the young woman's flat face. When she remained non-responsive, he continued, "you know, we could do with a good writer in my city. Lots of folks need a good story to take away their fears."

My favourite enemy ( gxg intersex )
Katie and Luna are the leaders of two rival high school cliques: the Greens and the Reds. And they absolutely can't stand each other. Every week, they get into intense fights. When Luna has Katie in a tight grip from behind, or when Katie manages to straddle Luna and climb on top of her, their faces inches from each other and bodies almost merged. It's quite the rivalry, isn't it? At least that's what Katie tells herself. Because, how else can she explain this overwhelming urge to be so close physically to her enemy, while her boyfriend is the hottest and most popular guy in school and she should be gravitated to him not to her mortal rival. Every character in this story is over 18 years old. Be careful this story contains: Profanity Smut Violence Abuse Disclaimer: This is an enemies‑to‑lovers story, and it includes a lot of toxic behaviour from both main characters, especially in the beginning. If that's something you're not comfortable with, I genuinely recommend stepping away and protecting your peace. All of their toxic traits, and the deeper reasons behind their actions, will be explored and explained throughout the book. Their behaviour isn't meant to be romanticized, it's something they will actively work through and grow from as the story progresses. This isn't just a light high‑school story, even if it might seem that way at first. There are a lot of traumas and psychological layers hidden underneath, so please approach with caution. And please don't expect the characters to be perfect - they're messy, and that's the point. But if you give the book a chance, you'll understand why.Complete

[COMPLETE] Her hands are under my shirt in seconds. She palms my breast through my bra and squeezes like she doesn't care if it leaves a mark. I cry out but the sound is muffled by her lips as her thumb flicks my nipple. "I hate you," I whisper. "Then hate me with your legs opened," she snarls, dragging my shirt over my head and tossing it somewhere behind her. Her teeth scrape down my throat, biting at the skin just below my jaw until I hiss. My back arches as her fingers undo the clasp of my bra and when it falls her mouth is latching onto my nipple, sucking it so fucking hard I nearly scream. I grab her hair and yank her head back but the look in her eyes only makes me wetter. "Shut up and fuck me," I snap. She grins.

Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank HerbertComplete
After Curfew
Willow's always been known as the good girl with the wealthy parents who could do no wrong. Little do they know that this seemingly perfect girl has some less than perfect secrets; and the fact that she's been sneaking out past curfew every night since the beginning of summer isn't the worst one. Distancing herself from the people at school has become lonely, but everything changes when a group of bad boys that she meets after curfew one night transfer to her school and begin to take an interest in her; one even more than the rest. But will they be able to protect her when events from her past re-surface and begin to get her into more trouble than she ever wanted? ********************** We were a circuit, electricity flowing through us at every connection, every light touch igniting a heat that was exhilarating but dangerous. Like we could catch fire and burn to the ground at any second. "Did you take your own advice? Did you ever forgive yourself?" I whispered, my words evaporating in the heat around us. He moved towards me, trapping me against the car door as his lips traced over my jaw, down to my neck. "This," he whispered, his thumb tracing the waistband of my jeans, making my breathing falter. "Allowing myself to feel this happiness, to feel you...this is me forgiving myself." He kissed me, calming the raging storm in me and igniting a new one. I wasn't sure which would cause more destruction, but I knew only one had pretty blue eyes and a effortless smile that could convince me it was all worth it. It probably was.Complete
