Word Count: 105,000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He turned slowly back, dreary eyes meeting mine. The towering man was nearly seven feet tall and all bulging muscles. His hair was dark and cut long skimming his smooth angled jaw. Brows watching me with the same intensity as I was watching him. Very lovely rich tan color. Shirtless and barefoot, but wearing simple leather pants, with some kind of pack hanging to his hip. Stomach raw with some deep gash and body littered with cuts. The entire picture of him was genuinely mouthwateringly handsome, but with the dagger still held in one hand entirely too deadly. "Stay right there Dothraki!" I called, my rifle finally having something in the crosshairs again. I'd never watched the popular show, but the videos I saw sure had him looking like he could play one of the built characters. The dagger dropped to the ground and he fell to a single knee after it, though he didn't bend to pick it up. He bent to ...bow? His head stayed inclined as he bent and spoke. His voice was smooth and husky, deep and baritone. Exceptionally beautiful. "Earth female safe." 1st in Aliens: 09/21Complete
The Forsaken Vow (The Unwanted Bride Series: Book Three)
Peace is a delicate thing. And one knock at the door is all it takes to shatter it. *** Juniper has fought for every moment of peace she's earned-every fragile connection, every stolen breath of safety, every unexpected bond with the men who were once forced into her life. What grew between them was never supposed to happen, yet it became the only thing keeping her grounded in a world designed to break her. However, when a foundation isn't fully set, the smallest movement can cause a crack. A man from Juniper's past arrives without warning. Carrying old memories and feelings she had forgotten. His arrival means salvation-a chance for the men she cares for to finally walk free, and for her to reclaim pieces of herself she thought were lost for good. But not everyone has a sense of rescue from this new arrival. The once relaxed conversations grow tense. Their easy closeness replaced with tight smiles and quiet arguments that stop when Juniper enters the room. The trust they built begins to splinter under the weight of unspoken fears. And something sharp and dangerous hums beneath the surface, a tension Juniper can't name but can't ignore. As old memories blur with new promises, and as loyalties strain under choices no one wants to make, Juniper finds herself caught between the life she once dreamed of and the life she never meant to love. Someone is keeping secrets. Someone is afraid to lose her. And someone is about to change everything.

DARK HORIZON
A realm on the brink of war. A bond that threatens to consume them both. Cora's life takes a dangerous turn when she's thrust into a world of secrets and magic. Mistaken for a fae, her blood is thought to hold the power to restore balance to a crumbling realm. The first thing she learns when she's captured: never trust a dragon. Ash has always known what it means to be feared. He comes from the Third Kingdom, the only realm where dragons remain awake inside their bonded. Considered little better than beasts, the people of the Third live in isolation, training to control the instincts and will of the creature that lives inside them. Alone in the Outlands, he never expected to find a fae. Especially not one like her. When her cry shatters the forest, he understands the instinct that drives him to her side. What he does not anticipate is how fiercely he will have to fight the beast that already sees her as its own. With witches whispering of prophecy and a dark king determined to bring about a new era of ruin, they must choose: fight the fate that binds them or risk becoming the very force that brings the realm to ruin. Because the longer they travel together, the harder it becomes to tell where Ash ends and the dragon begins.
