Emma Anabelle Lanor, heir to the Kingdom of Erreira, knows that the Elites are corrupt. But when she overhears a conversation between her father and Jamison Rengard, her future husband, she realizes things are worse than she could ever have imagined. Determined not to be pushed around any longer and convinced she can change her destiny, she runs away from the palace, her only home.
Meanwhile, rebellion is brewing. The Commoners are done with Elite nonsense and are determined to take back what is rightfully theirs. The fight isn't easy, but the rebels-who call themselves Labyrinthians-aren't ones to give up.
Simon Glades and Luke Avery are the Robin Hoods of the Labyrinth. When a beautiful young girl in a golden dress with a sword at her hip stumbles into their hideout, they are to say the least skeptical. However, she insists that she's not a spy, is creepily good at stealing from Elite women, and can really kick butt with a blade.
Emma, Simon, and Luke ally together, but the Labyrinth leaders may not be so welcoming. Not to mention that there's a huge ransom on Emma's head. Will Emma be able to conceal her identity from the masters of guise? And if she doesn't, will the dark secret of her past break friendships and end with what she fears most: to be turned in to the Elites?
And who will prevail in the final clash of wills: the well-equipped, brutal Elites or the determined, fierce Commoners?

Her vision blurred, a man was speaking but she couldn't hear his words. She felt the sword in her chest, but it wasn't there. He killed him. He killed him. Breathe. Did she stop? Breathe. The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised. Anna knew better than to believe him. What was it he had said? Oh. "You...you said...you said 'no witnesses'." She was shaking violently. She took another deep breath.

Farisia Rising
Enter the civil war-torn country of Thomasia. A mysterious beast has been killing rebels. Pressure attacks of unknown origin plague the land. When Eva Courtenay, the daughter of a prominent parliamentarian, is kidnapped for ransom, she finds herself face to face with the last thing she'd expect-a teenaged boy no older than her. Despite his youth, Reggie Farris already heads a dangerous sect of rebels, grown adults willing to bleed and die for him. While in his captivity, Eva finds herself charmed by his strangeness. But the quaint reverie is short to last. Reader Advisory: 🩸 👊 🤢 This book is technically a sequel to "Oliver Twisted" but it can be read as a standalone. OT is currently unpublished, as is the 3rd book "Vaudeville". In fact, it's probably a good idea to start with this one. I may change the order-this first, OT second. And. I sometimes do character studies on pretty messed up individuals. And it hopefully goes without saying, but just because I write about something doesn't mean I endorse it. 🦆Complete

Fᴏʀ Hɪꜱ Sᴀᴋᴇ | ✔
Emily Willows longs for passion, but only with the man of her dreams: the brilliant and dashing Edward Jones. If only her oblivious, dreaming neighbour can stop with all his gentlemanly-ness and just pin her into the nearest solid obstacle available. And then, perhaps encircle her whimpering body into the solid rippling confines of his warmth to show her the greatest pleasure of being alive and breathing, and moaning beneath his- But no, he would not. He could not-he would not even want to. As they've been best friends for, well- ever. And life as Emily knows was already over when the fates showed her the blandest stars in the already sinking cargo of her unrequited love life- by producing the gorgeous product of her gender, as opposed to her own mediocre Tomboy self, the one who'd bring shame to even the finest cream of their species. Lara Williams. It was hard to pretend not to predict what happened after she crossed paths with Edward and yet even harder to pretend that the man of hot blood, desires and virility such as him would not succumb to her charms, and even go as far as to fall in love with her. While it was no secret Emily would rather run away than to stay by Edward's side as a supportive friend as he sees her to be, or rather expects her to be, it becomes extremely challenging for her when he provides her to bear the responsibility of their friendship by asking her the biggest favour he could ever ask. The one favour she was sure no friend would ever ask their own. The one she was sure to lose herself to. The one she knew she shouldn't say yes to. But it would indeed be the one to make her crazy all the way. Oh, dammit, all to hell. __ [ 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 ] ➵𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 "𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞" 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲'𝐬 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗, 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐇Complete
