After being forced to marry the Prince of the Great plains, Lyra expected chaos and planned to fulfill her duty. What she didn't want to happen was to have the brooding Bastard of Blackwater, the most dangerous knight alive, as her personal guard.
He knew she was in a cage-and yet he mocked her. She knew he always saved her-yet she feared him.
But when court politics arise and tragedy strikes, Lyra must run to her safety. And unfortunately for her-she can't get back home without the bastard.

Necromancy In D Minor ✔️
Sin and symphony. That's all a necromancer needs. Octavia is a woman of many hats -- a maestro, an educator, a wanderer and an accomplished liar, and she wears all of them at once if need be. Masquerading as a music teacher, she travels the world on a mission to rid it of the netherborne -- a scourge from beyond the grave. When her travels take her to the tiny island of Hedalda, she finds a town on its knees, under the heel of the netherborne, and a people who believe necromancers are the worst thing to happen to humanity. Wit and a song, necromancy through music, was all she ever needed. But this time it isn't enough. The scourge looms larger with each song Octavia plays, and to save Hedalda she must navigate a web of deceit, look beyond sin and symphony, all while keeping her true identity a secret.

Still, With You
"Some stories are heard best in silence." Aria is a film student who finds more meaning in the pauses than the dialogue. She lives life in the quiet, editing the world frame by frame. Reyhaan is the noise. As the lead singer of the world-famous band VYER, he's spent his life under stadium lights-until he walked away from it all. Now, he's in Aria's class, not to be seen, but to disappear. When a shared project forces them into the same orbit, they discover a language that doesn't need sound. Between late-night edits and rain-soaked tram rides through Amsterdam, something steady begins to take root. But in a world that never stops talking, can a love grown in the quiet survive the return of the noise? A slow-burn story about identity, artistic longing, and the spaces words can't reach.Complete

"Then you must not have looked at a lot of girls," I responded looking at our feet. He pulled me into an embrace and put his hand on my hips. I tried to wiggle away from him, but he pulled me even closer tightening his grip on me. My head was off to the side. I didn't want to look at him. His finger found his way to my chin and he guided me to look into his eyes. "I will help you see yourself how I see you. I will help you see that you are beautiful.

Sweet Like Poison...(BWAM, Mature Paranormal Romance 18+)
Vampires; I'd only ever heard stories about them, never had the privilege of meeting one in person.

What I had not anticipated, was that, a mistake foolishly made by my own father; the breaking of a blood covenant, would effectively result in me coming face-to-face with the head of these nightly creatures; the one and only hybrid. And this volatile man, was the epitome of darkness, and the embodiment of death... ALL CONTENT WITHIN THIS BOOK IS PURELY FICTIONAL AND WORKS OF MY IMAGINATION. MY BOOK IS NOT FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN!!
