When dangerous men arrive at her family's gates with threats of fire and ruin, Azira discovers that her father has been hiding secrets older than she is - secrets buried beneath generations of debt, betrayal, and blood. Secrets powerful enough to set an entire city ablaze.
Suddenly, her dreams of balancing ledgers and proving her worth seem painfully small against a conflict that has been smoldering for decades.
As old rivalries between the city's peoples edge toward open violence, Azira is forced into a future she never imagined, one that demands impossible sacrifices and binds her fate to those she has always been taught to distrust.
Caught between loyalty and survival, duty and freedom, Azira must decide whether love can grow where it was never chosen... before the choices made for her become impossible to undo.

I Am Who? - Book 2
*SEQUEL to I Am Bree* **Copyrighted** His hand snatched my wrist out of the air, tugging it. With my momentum, I slammed right into him, but I went fighting, my free fist pummeling his stomach. He grabbed the hand and pushed me backwards, keeping the space small between us. I was too angry to notice anything until my back hit the wall. "Look at me." His voice rumbled right above me, barely more than a whisper. "Don't tell me what to do!" I kicked at him, continuing to struggle as fiercely as I could. "Look at me." He said again. "Like hell." I kicked him in the shin, but he didn't even flinch and closed the space between us entirely so I could barely move. "Look me in the eyes and tell me what you think of me." He growled. I looked up at him, panting heavily from my anger. "I said: don't tell me what to do." I ground out. "You don't have the right to talk to me that way." He moved back slightly. "That's right." A strange glint appeared in his eyes. "Think hard on this right now, Bree, and remember it the next time someone else tries to talk to you like that." I had never heard him speak so seriously and with such conviction. "What is wrong with you?" I snapped. "You did that on purpose." The corner of his lip lifted gently in the hint of an arrogant smirk. *I couldn't find the original creators for the pictures I used to make my cover, but all the credit goes to them!!*Complete

As their fates intertwine, Seraphina finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and power.

In the end, one of them must fall. But will it be to darkness-or to desire?Complete
