Especially not the type of romance that novelist Elisa Gilmore writes about. Stalkers? Bodyguards? Office rivals? Puh-leeze! Determined to prove to her that cheesy tropes aren't the way to a woman's heart, he acts out everything she's written... but will he lose his own heart in the process?

"This is your chance. Run."
Elisa crossed her arms. "No. I'm not scared of him."
Darien glared at her impatiently. "Fine. If you won't run from him, then run from me."
"Excuse me?"
"Here's another one of your tropes: I catch you, I kiss you."
"That's not the trope! It's supposed to be 'I catch you, I...'" Elisa cleared her throat and paraphrased, "'...ravish you.'"
The corner of his lip quirked. "'Ravish'?"
"Shut up, I'm just correcting you."
He stepped closer, his eyes burning into her. "Do you want an upgrade? Because I'm down for that if you are."
"I don't even want the kiss!"
His eyes widened. "Then...run."

Rafayel x All Love Interest (The Forgotten Heart)
Rafayel once held the world in his hands-and lost it all. He was the Lemuria Sea God, born of cosmic earth, his heart forged from pure celestial energy. A being of immense power, unmatched and untamed. So powerful, in fact, that even he couldn't control it. And one day, his power destroyed everything. The Earth fell into ruin. The people he loved perished. Their deaths were his burden to bear. To undo the catastrophe, Rafayel rewound time. Again and again, he chose a different path-desperately trying to save the ones dearest to him. In each timeline, he met them: Sylus, Zayne, Caleb, and Xavier-his soulbound loves. To each, he gave a piece of his divine heart, sealing away his strength to protect the world and keep them alive. But each time, it cost him his own life. And yet, Rafayel never hesitated. He would rather die a thousand times than watch his power destroy them. Now, the cycle has shifted. A new timeline has bloomed-one where the Earth still stands, untouched by divine havoc. Rafayel lives, still a god, but... changed. This time, he has no memories of the past timelines. No memories of the love he shared. No memory of the sacrifices he made. But Sylus, Zayne, Caleb, and Xavier remember. Reincarnated into this new world, they live among humans-watching from the shadows, protecting Rafayel in secret. In this life, it's their turn to shield him. Because this time, he didn't give them his heart. This time, he lives. But fate is never silent. And love never dies. So when Rafayel's path begins to cross with theirs once more, what will awaken within him? Will the memories return? Will love find its way again? Or will the god who once saved the world now be the one who needs saving?Concluida

"Were you scared?" she asked as our foreheads collided together. I shook my head no. I have to act brave and masculine, right? "No. You're lying," she said as she wiped tears off my cheeks and showed me her wet fingers. Wait, I was crying? "I didn't even know I was crying!" I say through a pained laugh. "Do I mean a lot to you?" she said as her face inched closer to mine. We were just centimetres apart from touching each other's lips. My mind was devoid of every coherent thought at the close proximity. "Yes," I managed to squeak out.

We got off to a bad start, and I just kept making things worse chasing after him. Until he let me know in no uncertain terms that he wasn't interested in me.

Trust Me ?- COMPLETED
THIS BOOK IS UNDERGOING MAJOR REWRITING... READ AT YOUR OWN RISK A squeak left my mouth involuntarily as the hands scared me out of my daze. Turning, I came to face to face with a caramel tinted face. His tanned skin contrasts his green and honey colored eyes that were boring into mine. His hold on my waist disappeared and I took this opportunity to edge my way away from the window stopping against the wall to slow the pounding of my heart. What the... He's completely topless his jeans hanging so low off his hips. I swear if they were any lower I'd be looking at the top of his.. you know... The heat rushed through my cheeks at the thought of the word. He looked over at my face a smirk evident. Shit. I'm staring.. 'Like what you see?' Oh God.. Alexis is human. What else would she be? She's been read the fairytale stories and tucked in at night but it's all just fiction right? What will happen when she goes head to head with a boy who's not human at all? Oh.. Did I mention she is his mate? Lies, deception.. Love is a battlefield right?? 'May the odds be ever in your favour.' Trust me?Concluida
