Death, Life, or Love-what would be your undoing?
They call him a bastard-the unwanted prince.
A tainted heir of lowly blood,
the king's blade,
the chained executioner.
He bears many names,
but are any of them truly his?
"Life is a luxury. You're lucky I let you keep yours."
"Lucky?"
I never asked to be born-
least of all with only a fraction of the blood you dare call pure."
"People are all the same.
When death bares its teeth, they abandon everything-everyone-
just to save themselves.
I would gladly spare them the choice...
and end their struggle."
A prince crowned with thorns.
Irony gilded in gold.
A life preserved for the broken,
a soul forged by the forsaken.
In a world that taught him only cruelty,
could love be the one thing
that saves him-
or the very thing that destroys him?

Soulbound (Bound by Desire #1)
What did they mean? I knew who I was, didn't I? I was Rosalia Mallory, a girl left on the doorstep of our town's foster agency to find a new home. From there I went through three homes before at the age of 16 instead of having to live in the group home I secured enough money to, along with the money the foster carers were given for me, to buy an apartment building. Alongside a job bartending and waitressing I had enough money to attend college and am currently studying Religion and Mythology, Creative writing and Art. Just a normal teenage girl with a normal life. But at the same time, I'm not. Who am I? Seems like the most cliché question a teenager can ask right? Except when your missing months, if not years, of your life suddenly that seemingly simple question takes on a whole new meaning. After all, if you don't know your whole past how can you answer that for yourself?Complete

Alpha Draven, Child of Beautiful Shadows, and he's on a quest for love. So when he finds his mate, he has hope. Hope that maybe, there is someone who will love him. But there is a devastating price to pay for having a mate that is a runaway vampire slave. Fights will take place, wars will be waged, and lives will be taken. Can a being known for taking lives also save them, or will he come too late as his mate suffocates in a puddle of her own blood?Complete

A Deadly Love- Book Two
There are worse things than death. ___ "What is wrong with you?" I seethed. She had my back against the wall, pinning me down so I couldn't move. She was much stronger than me, even when I used my strength to get out of her embrace. I held her gaze and I knew that she was gone. There wasn't an ounce of goodness left in her body. She laughed at my question. Of course, I knew what was wrong with her. But I have to find a way to get her back. "What is wrong with me? Ha, nothing sweetheart." she told me with a smile on her face. "I'm just having a little fun." "Yeah, and fun for you is killing innocents," I growled. "Oh, I hate to say this to you but they aren't all innocent." I finally broke free of her and I dropped her to the floor. I held her down with both arms while I was on top of her. All she did was give me a smile. An eerie smile that made a shiver run down my spine. "I should kill you for what you've done," I whispered. "I should make you pay." "Oh, but Sebastian, you won't," she said. "You know why? Because at the end of the day I'm still me, and you will never hurt me, will you?" I hated that she was right. I couldn't kill her. My mind told me that it would be the best to do it but my heart told me otherwise. I mentally cursed at myself for letting this happen to her. "Elora, I know you're still in there." I said. She was still on the ground, but she was not resisting which seemed odd. "She died a long time ago," she said finally. "Alongside her love for you." ___ Book Two in the "From Death to Life" Trilogy #13 in BloodlustComplete
