"To the Kingdom of Aethelgard, she is a saint in silk. To the man who once broke her heart, she is a lie wrapped in lace."
Princess Elara Vane is a masterpiece of deception. To her people, she is the "Gilded Dove"-the wise, kind, and radiant heir who refuses every suitor to focus solely on the prosperity of her realm. They see her smile; they don't see the bone-deep exhaustion or the mysterious pain she hides behind a mask of royal perfection. She has a kingdom to save, a goal to reach, and no room for the vulnerability of love.
But the past has a way of rising from the shadows.
When a silent, formidable knight in blackened steel-Sir Kaelen Thorne-returns from five years of exile to claim his place as her sworn protector, Elara's carefully constructed world begins to fracture. Kaelen was her childhood shadow, her first love, and the man who allegedly betrayed the crown.
As a web of courtly intrigue spun by her ambitious cousin begins to tighten around her, Elara must navigate a second chance she never asked for. Between stolen moments by the Whispering Creek and the blood-soaked reality of a looming war, secrets are unearthed that rewrite everything Elara thought she knew about her family, her magic, and the red thread of fate that binds her to the man she was supposed to hate.
In a world where oaths are written in ash, can a heart bound by lace ever truly be free?

Dreams
They say dreams come true. But that's Anakin's worst nightmare. **This is book no. 2 in my series, The Sting of Time! No. 1 was my book, Memories. You can read this book without having read Memories, but this one will make more sense if you have. :)** Three years on, Anakin Skywalker's nightmares of his mother have returned ... but with one crucial twist. They are about Padmé. Anakin struggles to fight his worst fears as dreams of the death of his beloved wife plague his nights. Are they a glimpse of the future, or are they simply reality distorted by his emotions? Will the past influence his choices in the present? And if so, will it be for good ... or evil? Also, when the Jedi Temple is bombed and Obi-Wan isn't there when it happens, things go from bad to worse. Anakin has the world weighing on him: will he crack? Or will he thrive? Can his friends help? Or will they ultimately be his downfall? ___ This is the sequel to my other Star Wars fanfic, "Memories," so if you haven't read the first book, this one might not make as much sense. This book is also noncanon, angst-saturated, and romantically-tinged. I hope you enjoy! ^.^Complete
Chemical - Post Malone
"Whatever, just call him and get him to sign the papers. It's not that hard," Kitty adds before taking another sip. Miya is going to have to drive her home for sure. "That's the thing, Kitty...I did. He won't sign the papers," Miya says. Kitty's jaw drops open, clutching the bottle to her chest like a baby. "That good for nothing bastard!" Her head is spinning a little but she is not sure if it's from the wine or from finally entering into a conversation about Austin. It's been five years since she has allowed herself to even think about that miserable asshole. "He said, and I quote..." Miya says and watches Kitty carefully, "you tell my wife that if she wants a divorce, she needs to come over with the papers herself." Dickery...absolute dickery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kitty married Austin on a whim - silly teenage love. He had promised her the world, literally. Then he disappeared along with every ounce of her dignity. It's taken all of five years to piece of herself together, but she has and it's been a bitch of a time. Now she has found someone who is man enough to give her the life Austin ran away from. The only problem is she is still married to Austin - nothing that a simple signature can't fix. Austin, however, has now decided he wants to talk, but it's five years too late and Kitty can't think of anything she wants less. So while Austin tries his hand at finally talking to her, Kitty blows up his truck, buys an elephant and gets well acquainted with the police department in an attempt to get her point across - she does not want to talk, she only wants his signature on those dam divorce papers.Complete

Dimitri's POV in Vampire Academy (Fanfic)
A VA fanfic from Dimitri's Point of View shedding light on this incredibly beguiling character that we all love so much. My intention with this is not to simply retell the events of VA, but instead deeply explore Dimitri's thoughts and feelings as he interacts with Rose and the other characters/events that revolve around her. COMPLETED STORY I didn't include the first chapter since Richelle Mead has already written that from Dimitri's POV called "The Meeting". I don't own the Vampire Academy series. The setting, characters and story are the property of Richelle Mead, and are not my intellectual property. This written work is only intended as fanfiction, and I only own the additional elements not included in the original Vampire Academy series. There is no financial gain made from this nor will any be sought. This is for entertainment purposes only.Complete
