After years of feeling like she would never be able to gain independence, Ophelia finally scrapes together enough money to purchase a run-down home a few hours away from her old neighborhood. Alone for the first time in her life she now has to face challenges she never expected, realizations she couldn't have fathomed in her wildest nightmares, and an unwelcome resident in her home willing to drive her to the brink of madness if that's what it takes.
Walking through her front door for the first time marks the changing of her life as she knows it forever. For better or for worse, that remains to be seen.

Chained A Fated Mate Romance
This is a fated mate romance between a reluctant fiery woman and an alpha male who is more then used to getting his way. Their bloodlines make them special, either miracles or abominations depending on who you ask. Being fated means they have a biological need for one another that comes more naturally then the touchy feely side of things. Add that to an Overlord who's out for one thing and a world they can't really trust and I would say it has a way of keeping ones interest. Angels, Vampires, Nephilim, Witches, Gryphons and even Fate. This Series will have a bit of everything and is told from two perspectives. ~E~ Fate is a grade-A royal jerk. I'm too young for this... Mates are supposed to be a rarity dangit. No this isn't happening. I won't let it happen. I'm supposed to be free, the only one not born to serve. One seductive brooding man isn't about to change that... right? Right. Now I just need to get him to stop undressing me with his eyes. ~C~ He called her a gift, trying to claim credit for what Fate has provided me. She's hardheaded, brazen, and has a constant need to disobey me, but the burning desire I have for her veils it all. She thinks she has a choice; thinks the fever can be denied. Stubborn little minx, soon enough, she'll be begging to be mine.Complete
The Red Crystal
It is called a Love Curse. Ophelia McQuoid's witch soul is bound inside a towering red crystal, released only once every fifty years for a mere thirty days. The terms of her freedom are deceptively simple: an immortal must trade his life for hers. But curses are never merciful. There is a clause. She must make him fall in love with her-and not just desire, not obsession, not pity. It must be the truest form of love. After two hundred and fifty years of failed attempts, Ophelia has learned a cruel truth: thirty days is not enough time to earn a love deep enough to damn an immortal. Especially when the curse tethers her close to the crystal, a silent prison she can never truly escape. When she awakens again, something is wrong. The crystal is no longer just a vessel-it is draining her life force. If she fails this time, Ophelia will not return in fifty years. She will fade into the glass forever, erased from the world she once knew. And then she meets him. A vampire king-ancient, powerful, arrogant-who is nothing like the careful, distant immortals before him. He is daring. Obnoxious. Infuriatingly attentive. And worst of all, he refuses to let her go. For the first time in centuries, Ophelia's curse may finally be breakable. Or it may destroy them both.Complete
Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Complete
