A tale of shadows, sun, and a love that defies fate.
Raven has spent her life surviving. Haunted by a past she can't outrun and powers she can't explain, she's learned to stay hidden, to trust no one, and to never let anyone close enough to uncover the truth.
Until Wren.
New to the city, Wren is all warmth and light - curious eyes, quiet strength, and a heart that beats like birdsong in the morning. She doesn't know the danger that hums beneath Raven's skin. She doesn't know the storm that's coming.
Drawn together by something ancient and unspoken, the two girls find themselves caught between forces that want them silenced, secrets buried deep beneath blood and magic, and a destiny written in stars they never asked for.
As sun meets moon, and light meets shadow, Raven and Wren must decide: will they fight for each other... or burn with the truth?
This is a dark, romantic fantasy about broken pasts, forbidden power, and the kind of love that refuses to be quiet.

For sixteen years, she lived under her grandmother's watchful eye, sheltered from the outside world, never understanding why she was kept hidden. But secrets have a way of unraveling, and when Caitlin finally steps beyond the confines of her small-town life, she discovers the chilling reality of her family's past. A curse, generations old, runs through her blood. A darkness that has haunted her ancestors now awakens within her, threatening to consume everything she knows. As Caitlin's reckless thirst for freedom leads her into dangerous territory, she finds herself entangled in a world she never believed existed-a world of shadows, secrets, and creatures of the night. At the center of it all is Hunter-a brooding, dangerously alluring vampire whose presence both terrifies and excites her. He awakens something deep inside her, an undeniable hunger that has nothing to do with fear. But as their passion ignites, another truth is revealed. With enemies lurking in the darkness, Caitlin is thrust into a battle she never asked for. Ancient forces want her dead. Powerful creatures seek to use her for their own sinister purposes. And the two men who now dominate her life-one her lover, the other her blood-will do anything to keep her safe. As her world spins out of control, Caitlin must decide: Will she run from her fate, or will she embrace the darkness within? Some love is forbidden. Some bloodlines are cursed. And some destinies... are inescapable.Complete
always been you - second chance wlw romance
This book may NOT be reproduced, reposted, copied, or translated in any way unless you receive permission directly from the author. Felicity Rose Bennett has everything the world thinks she wants-chart-topping songs, magazine covers, fans who call her perfect. But the world doesn't know she's hiding. Burned out, suffocated by fame, and haunted by a stalker no one else knows about, Felicity flees to her mothers' quiet Toronto lake house just to breathe for the first time in years. She doesn't expect Harriet Johnson to walk through the door with a suitcase and a key. Harriet has spent the last four years running from her past-alcohol addiction, heartbreak, and the memory of the only girl she's ever loved. Sober now and fighting her way through med school, she only wanted a quiet summer. She didn't know Felicity would be here. She didn't know that sharing a roof again would feel like falling into a storm she thought she'd survived. They were childhood best friends turned teenage lovers-until Harriet broke Felicity's heart in the worst possible way. Now they're twenty-two, trapped by old history and new secrets, in the same house that once held their whispered dreams and first kisses. The deal is simple: her side, my side. But nothing about Felicity and Harriet has ever been simple. Not the history, not the wanting, not the way every look feels like a dare and every brush of skin threatens to set them both on fire. In the thick of July, in a house full of memories, two girls who once had everything will have to decide if second chances are worth the risk-and if loving each other is worth surviving for.Complete
