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.

Escaping Duty

Seeking answers to prove she's not crazy, she receives another shocking truth that hits even closer to home. Mason returns home to escape his past, but familiar faces return, and new threats arrive in town. Keeping an eye on the enemy, he struggles to avoid getting involved any more than he should. But, when their paths cross, they learn not everything is black and white, and the people you least suspect could be your enemy. ------ 'This is a dumb idea' she thought to herself. 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.

So I will continue to crave her, to yearn her, to ache for her. She is my covet. She is the blade that will stab right into my heart and yet I will thank her for noticing it in the first place. She is the heaven I watch from hell. She is desire. She is destiny. She is the illness I will happily accept upon me. And now, I will have to watch her be someone else's.

Monster: Origins
Monsters are real. They've always been here, hiding in plain sight. Sam had no idea... until something ancient and hungry stepped out of the woods and tore his life apart. Now he's not just running from the darkness... he is the darkness. Twisted into a creature he doesn't understand, driven by a brutal urge that he can't control, Sam must choose: protect the ones he loves, or embrace the monster inside. In a new city, Sam is hunted on all sides by those who slay things like him without mercy... Hunters. Sam hides among them, searching for answers as he helps them track something hiding right under their noses... Sam himself. But as he gets closer to their secrets and their daughter Autumn, his own secrets risk coming out. What will happen when his curse attracts even greater threats that slumber beneath the city, from a dark, hidden place that might destroy them all?

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.

Grim Echoes
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.Complete
