When Nataly returns to Puerto Rico, it's supposed to be a brief pause-one last breath before moving on.
But the island has other plans.
A night of music and color shatters under a sudden earthquake, and in the chaos, Nataly locks eyes with a stranger whose presence feels disturbingly familiar.
As she digs into the roots of her family's past, Nataly uncovers a land bound by secrets, betrayal, and a sacred tree pulsing with ancestral power.
The deeper she gets, the clearer it becomes: nothing about her return is coincidence. And neither is the boy with the haunted eyes.
Some inherit money. Some inherit land. Nataly inherited a curse.

Blood
Blood binds. Blood betrays. Blood remembers. She's living an ordinary life - lectures, late shifts, and trying to keep her head above water - until the night everything changes. A stranger in the glass. Whispers she can't explain. Dreams dripping in crimson. Drawn into a shadowed world where nothing is as it seems, she's pulled from routine into a maze of haunted whispers, forbidden attraction, and ancient rituals she doesn't understand. Each step uncovers more of a legacy she never knew she carried - a bloodline tied to power, darkness, and a dangerous bargain she never agreed to. Now, as her hunger grows and her heart tangles with the very creature who may destroy her, she'll face the ultimate question: fight the darkness that claims her... or surrender to the blood calling her home. Happy reading.....🥰🥰🥰Complete

I Accidentally Summoned a Demon
"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.

Celestial Bodies: Of Runts and Lycans (sample)
-sample- "Answer my question and I would more than love to continue." I find myself nodding frantically and his chuckle echoes in his body. "Use your words." I find myself blushing again but I say nothing. He pulls a breath away from me. When I continue to say nothing he leans back down, briefly brushing his lips over mine with no pressure behind it. His hand on the base of my neck moves up slightly, tilting my head back to his side so my neck is to him. His fingertips brushing over my skin sends a large wave of tingles through me and I can't suppress the shudder that leaves me. He brushes his nose against my neck and I tighten my fisted hand to a point of pain. His hand on my waist quickly goes to my fisted knuckles and smooths them out onto his chest once again. "Can you feel how fast my heart beats for you, Celeste?" It is much faster now. "It's because it belongs to you. All of me? Belongs to you." ~ Finding herself suddenly alone and injured, Celeste finds herself on the grounds of one of the largest packs in the country.

As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The Witchline
A generation of witches emerged in a world where two factions, the Druids and the Witches, held power over the Earth and its elements. Gifted with the ability to harness the powers of Light and Dark, they dedicated themselves to honoring the Goddess Mother and the natural world. They celebrated life, abundance, and the cycles of nature through festivals and rituals. The Goddess Mother blessed two witches with extraordinary power, one with Light and the other with Dark, and bestowed upon them a book containing all the spells necessary to honor her. With this book, they could even cheat death itself. However, they were forbidden from using their powers for evil. Meanwhile, the Druids delved into the dark side of nature, making pacts with gods of the afterlife who demanded blood sacrifices. The Elder Druid, consumed by envy, plotted to steal the witches' power. Spreading lies about their wickedness to mortals, the Druids convinced them that only witch burnings could lift the curse. The Elder Druid's greed knew no bounds, and he sought the Goddess's book, whispering more falsehoods about the witches. Fear gripped the land, and countless innocent men and women were burned at the stake until the witch hunts finally ceased in the late 17th century. The two High Strega, the last of their kind, devised a plan to protect their magic and revive the Witchline. The Goddess revealed a prophecy: when a daughter of Dark and a son of Light possessed the book, the Witchline would be restored. They separated, hiding their true power and passing the book from one High Strega to another across generations. Until now...Complete
The Secret Vampire
**Completed but NOT edited. It's highly suggested not to read this book. I have yet to start the rewriting and editing process. This book has too many mistakes to even count at this time. I have much better books than this one which is why I must say looking back at this book is just embarrassing. I mean it's one of those 'this author seriously didn't know the difference between there, their, and they're back then?' Ew, I know. It's hard to read and the book is rushed. So if you do decide to continue on then read at your own risk and don't leave Rude comments because I did warn you that the book sucks, I don't need anyone to tell me what I already know.** ------- Lets start off with the basics. My name is Charlotte and I'm a Royal Pure Blood Vampire that's a Princess and next in line to be Queen. Pure Blood Vampires are stronger, faster, and more powerful, everything about them is better than other regular vampires. But when you mix blood of a pure blood vampire with Royal vampire blood then you are one of the most powerful Vampires in the world and that's exactly what Charlotte is. Her mother is a pure blood vampire and her father is royalty. There are only a few who are this lucky and are very wanted. Wanted dead. Charlotte doesn't tell anyone that she is a Vampire and refused to even show any signs she is one by using a little magic. She acts like a normal teenager at school with human friends and even a human boyfriend. Everything was going great until a group of Royal vampires join her school. Of course, humans don't know the existence of vampires so they have no worries. But Charlotte on the other hand has to worry about exposure of her secret. Especially because this Royal vampire is a future king. Join Charlotte on her little adventure with humanity and royal vampires. ----------- •Highest rating: #12 in Vampire (11/29/15)Complete
The spark and storm
They called her *witch* before they ever saw her power. On the night her village turned to flame, sixteen-year-old **Maya** watched her mother unleash a storm of crystal and fire to save them both. Now hunted and exiled, Maya flees into the forbidden **Blackwood Forest**-a place whispered to be alive, where spirits of light drift between the trees and ancient gods still dream beneath the soil. But something in the forest is watching her. Something old enough to remember her bloodline. And when it speaks her name, the world itself trembles. Bound by prophecy and shadow, Maya must uncover the truth of her family's power-the *Crystalborn*-a lineage once sworn to guard the earth's heart from the darkness below. Yet with every step deeper into the forest, that darkness awakens...and it knows her name. As the boundary between magic and madness thins, Maya will have to decide what she's willing to become to protect what remains of her world. Because some destinies are not chosen. They are awakened.
