Join Clara on a gripping journey of courage and discovery, where the pursuit of truth reveals the darkest facets of human nature. Will she emerge from the winter of deceit, or will the lies consume her?

Beneath the Frost
The snow-draped Swiss Alps, with their frosted forests and icy winds, provide the perfect canvas for a love story waiting to unfold. But in Beneath the Frost, the holidays are more than a backdrop-they are the spark that ignites hope, healing, and passion. Elias Savoy has spent his life carrying the weight of his pack, his role as Alpha etched into every muscle, every command, every lonely night in Chillon Castle. He's stoic, powerful, and untouchable-or so he seems. Beneath the layers of duty and dominance lies an ache he cannot name, a longing for something more. He's spent years braving the storms of his past, but even the fiercest wolf can't endure the chill of solitude forever. Luca Weber arrives in the sleepy village near Chillon Castle with little more than a suitcase and a dream of escaping his own emptiness. A writer searching for inspiration and perhaps a piece of himself, Luca stumbles into Elias's world during a ferocious snowstorm. Their first encounter is equal parts danger and desire, leaving them both shaken-and undeniably drawn to each other. What begins as a quiet friendship deepens with every shared glance, every whispered word by the fire, and every festive tradition they share. From hunting the perfect Christmas tree in the snow-blanketed woods to decorating the castle with lights and garlands that glitter against the icy stone, the season pulls them closer. Luca's warmth softens Elias's edges, while Elias's strength gives Luca a place to feel safe. But winter's beauty conceals its dangers, and an old enemy lurks on the edges of the pack's territory. A rogue werewolf, embittered and vengeful, threatens not just Elias's pack but the fragile bond blooming between him and Luca. As the winter solstice approaches, bringing the longest night of the year, Elias and Luca must face the storm-both within and without.

Perhaps things would have turned out differently. Maybe I could have avoided what was to come. Maybe it's a game life wanted me to play, and there's no forfeiting or escaping. I simply have to follow the rules and hopefully make it to the final round, even if that means that I'll be buried six feet underground like him. __________________________________ "Things happen when you least expect them, whether they're good or bad, and in my case, it was everything and more."- Linda Smith Linda Smith, in a million years, never expected her life to take a crazy turn.

ALEX | a. hotchner (sequel to BLAKE)
He grabbed my arm at the last second and pulled me back, pressing my body tightly against his. "You like living on the edge, don't you?" He asked with a teasing smile, he was so close I could feel his breath on my mouth. "Only when I know you're there to catch me if I fall," I smiled back at him, biting my lip. His smile disappeared and a frown was put in its place, "we should talk." "About why you're being an ass to me?" I asked, feeling bold. I saw the shock register on his face before he could hide it. "I wasn't aware that I was," he said and cleared his throat. My heart was beating out of my chest and I could smell him so clearly, pine and a hint of lavender, mixed with the scotch from his breath. I knew he hadn't been drinking a lot, but I had, so I took my chance, the urge to kiss him taking over. Though his lips were pretty, it was the feel of them that sent my mind into a sensual state of intoxication. His lips gently pressed against mine made my legs shake. His hands held me tight by the waist and mine was lost in his hair. In that kiss was the sweetness of passion, a million loving thoughts condensed into one moment. The hint of a promise. A promise of realness, a promise to love him forever. - This is the sequel to BLAKE. This is a Criminal Minds story. I do not own Criminal Minds.

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
