I never thought I'd see him again.
See them again... and it doesn't help that my husband is no longer my husband. For years i remained out of reach living a quiet boring life, until my curiosity got the better of me. I went in search of things I never should have. I've harnessed powerful abilities only a sorcerer would have. And now someone else on the path is interested in my abilities.
Someone who would take my light and kill me.
Even worse the five men I left behind seven years ago loathe my presence and want nothing to do with me. No one can know my secret, because my life depends on it. If I thought they hated me now; I was so much very wrong, because I was about to find out just how they really despised me for what I'd done.

The Queen's Slave (Book 1)
"So." She mused, sliding one black nail across her lip in a sensual caress as she stared at me with eyes the color of molten gold. "You are the one they call Huntress." Disregarding the pain in my side from the most recent beating, I straightened my shoulders and stood tall, my chin jutting out in defiance. "Yes." "Mm." Those intriguing eyes watched me from her languid position on the throne. "But, you are not just a huntress, are you?" I allowed the predatory instincts I usually worked so hard to keep hidden, to surface, feeling the burning of my eyes and shifting of bones under my skin. A slow grin slid across my face as my beast stared back at her through my human skin. The Queen didn't react to my sudden change of character, instead choosing to lean forward in interest. "How fascinating." • Once, the world was ruled by humans and technology. They were governed by a president that made choices for all. Vampires, werewolves alike hid their existence from the humans for centuries, blending in as a whole. Now, they hid no more. States are now territories governed by kings and queens, humans are regarded and used for no more than their blood and body before they are discarded and forgotten. Werewolves and vampires were at war, and it was said that the wolves had all been but snuffed out, save for one. When Adira is captured while hunting outside her homeland, she is unexpectedly sold to the Queen in the North. Wolf blood is sacred, it is said to hold inexplainable powers, and as the only wolf-borne known to humans and vampires alike, Adira fears for her life. Thrown into a world governed by everything she's been trained to hate, Adira fights for her rightful place in the world, a seat at the Queen's side. But proving her worth won't be easy, the price for failure is her life.Complete
Full Throttle
I've made it out of that nightmare I used to call home. The last person my parents had entrusted with my safety was a lie. The man I was being married off too turned out to be a ruthless monster. Escape was my only choice if I was going to come out alive. Now, I'm hundreds of miles away from the only home I knew. Living in a car, scraping by. Enduring what I was afraid of to begin with. A rich girl like me was not meant for the streets. But I'll be damned if they drag me down. If it means survival from here on out to keep me away from the hands of my own family so be it. But the universe seemed to have a different plan for me. One with three men, 3 bikes and a load of baggage they are not ready to deal with. Protecting myself is a priority, especially with the life that is growing inside of me. Distance is key, survival is crucial and staying the hell away from these men is detrimental. They've got no idea the hell that is me, Juniper Vanderbilt.

Obsession Series 8: Condrad Santino
Obsession Series 8 People ask me, "Why aren't you one of the Montelust Men?" Simple. I don't need a title to matter. I'm Condrad Santino-the one they call when shit gets real. I fix things. I clean up messes. I disappear problems before they hit the surface. I don't live in the spotlight. I live in the shadows. They toast champagne. I carry silencers. They fall in love. I vanish before anything gets too close. Or at least... I used to. She changed that. The Lady in Red. I met her during a surveillance op at a masquerade ball. I was supposed to watch from above-no contact, no distraction. Then she walked in. Red silk. Black mask. Amber eyes that locked with mine across the room. And just like that-I forgot the mission. We danced once. Brief. Electric. Her touch burned. Her scent lingered. She said nothing real, gave no name. But I didn't need one. She felt like something I hadn't known I was missing. Then she disappeared. Moments later, chaos broke out. One of our targets went dark. When I turned back-she was gone. No trace. No face. Just eyes burned into my memory. I've been chasing her ever since. No ID. No leads. Just a ghost in red. People say I'm insane. That it was a fling. A dream. But I know better. She was more. She was hiding something. But I'm not backing down. I don't care if I burn the world to find her. Because once you've danced with fate- You never forget the music. And I sure as hell won't stop... Until she's back in my arms.Complete
Storms of the heart ♥️
His betrayal was the storm that could have drowned her, but instead, it awakened the fire she never knew she carried. He expected her tears- but she didn't shed a single one. He expected her to plead- but she gave him nothing except a cold, final silence. He expected her to break- but she walked away with her head high, leaving him to realize the weight of what he threw away. And when she stepped out of his life, she stepped into a world where her love was not taken for granted- into the arms of a man who understood loyalty, valued respect, and knew how to hold a woman like her... not as a possession, but as a partner. She didn't lose him. He lost her. And she found someone far more capable of loving the storm in her heart.Complete

The Beasts blended in amongst us as if we were the same, except humans didn't have the same predatory instincts and we couldn't change our forms like they could. Soon after we learnt that we weren't the only species people began going missing. Some were unlucky and taken as something that the Beasts called a Mate that one word made fear spread throughout my veins, I would rather sell my soul than have one of them mutts chain me to them. Six months went by before the government, that was un-tainted by this vile race began to take action into their own hands contacting other countries and militaries causing the great war to happen, sending both my parents off to fight for our rights. Only one of them came back, two months was the longest we lasted before we were overpowered by them. Six years of living in this dysfunctional environment and my hatred had never dwindled. Some people still believed in god and had faith in him, I didn't know what I believed in but I prayed like everyone else that I would get through another day without hearing the soul crushing word 'Mate'.

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete
