A vampire who captivates, a wolf with eyes too familiar, and a fiery smile that hides more than it shows.
Maëlys thought she knew what she wanted: a simple love story, a college romance.
But some glances burn more than others. And sometimes, what you think you want is just a mask for what you refuse to see.
Between unspoken secrets, façades, and desires she doesn't yet understand, Maëlys discovers that the heart never works the way you expect - and that danger isn't always where you think it is.
Beneath the canines and behind the claws might lie what she fears most: the truth about herself.
What if it's not about choosing?
What if love is just a sidestep away - a bite, a breath, a shiver?
Between claws and canines, Maëlys' heart no longer beats for just one.

Beautiful Silence #FreshStart
" Skyes, its about us. This is very important to me. Skyes... do you love me?" I pause. Do i? I don't even know because i would have feelings then its like my instincts say, no. "The people in your past and what you've dealt with..." He stops and i think i know where this is headed. I can't speak now. Memories and flashbacks course through my mind, but i block them. " All the people in my past can't even touch me." I say to try to convince him. I've never seen him like this. So, broken. "Skyes, i love you so much that i can't lose you. I'm willing to die to keep you safe. Me and my wolf." " I know." " Then, if you do, then can you see the beauty and kindness i see in you." "I'll try, but--" "No, buts. You do or you don't. I want you to see us." Skyes Renee-Johnson is a sweet, caring, and warm-hearted girl. But after all of the people that has hurt and abused her, she now wishes to shut down.

Blood & Honey #1
~A Wattys and Fiction Award winner* A lion does not need an invitation from a lamb. That is not the way of the predator. Predators take what they want, when they want it, however they please. And this belief that I am, that evil is, enslaved by the dark night is humorous to say the least. Why would any creator make their pupil inept of withstanding the lighted world when this planet is covered in daylight for half of its life span? No, our Maker did not instill such restrictions for, up here on these earthly lands, we are the gods of prey. ~ Tristan There is only one rule vampires must follow--Bite Hard. It is forbidden for humans to know vampires exist so you can imagine Tristan Darkos's surprise when he finds one that knows what he is. He can tell by the tremble of her body, the thump-thump of her pulse, and her dilated pupils. He's going to have to finish what some other vampire started. The problem is when Tristan gets close to this human his blood turns to fire and the thirst that burns in his throat that should spell her doom twists until he's consumed by another need--one that is evocative, primitive, and...wrong. If Tristan doesn't figure out the mystery that is Kinley Shea Rylan, it is certain whatever dark force her honey blood is summoning forth will be the end of him and, possibly, the end of the world as we know it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Author note: - This is an original work with my take on Vampires.

Call Wolf
Maria can't explain what she is or what she's done. After all, it shouldn't be possible for a human to conjur fire from nothing but pure will, but that hasn't stopped her before. She can't remember how she ends up bloodied, beaten half to death on a deserted doorstep in the middle of the night, but she can remember him, bringing her in. He's a little reserved but she doesn't mind, especially as they have something in common: neither one is supposed to exist outside of nightmares and folklore. Few people know Maria exists. All of them want her dead. None have felt the wrath of her new friend yet. This is an impossible story and you'd do best pretending you've never heard it.Complete

Slowly she began reaching her hand towards the animal, feeling compelled to touch it. Would it be as soft as it looked? Did it want her to touch it? The rain continued pelting them, but it felt like its eyes were drawing her into another space, where nothing else mattered. The sudden desire to be closer to this animal was beginning to overtake her mind, especially as her hand neared its head. The whole time the animal only watched her with those large eyes. She imagined it almost asking for her touch. It didn't cross her mind how she knew he'd be soft, or how she even knew the creature was a 'he' to begin with. As her finger just barely grazed the animal, multiples things happened. She felt something shock her causing her to pull her hand back, just as thunder and lightning sounded. When the light cleared the animals' eyes, were narrowed into slits, and it was growling. It was a deep menacing sound that sent her stumbling backward, heart wildly beating. It bared fangs the size of her hand alone dipping its head. Had her touch angered the animal into finally attacking her? She kept moving backward in the rain, slipping in her converses as the creature continued growling. It was then she knew she was prepared to run, no matter what happened.
