"I can't tell you that."
Those are words Lily Shield has been hearing a lot, especially from her closest friends. Too many secrets seem to be floating around her existence as well as those around her. But that's to be expected when she's trying to crack the case of a mysterious shadow that spies over what seems like every word said. After the investigation progresses, Lily begins to realize that a spy, often a motive to kill, has infiltrated a safe house for her: the agency. And as things progress further, Lily discovers that the person behind all of this might be closer to her than she thought.
For Lily, there's nothing but secrets beneath secrets.

The Lycan's Flame
Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?Complete
Beyond the Mask!
Detective Freen stood at the entrance of the Armstrong mansion, her eyes scanning the opulent foyer. The crystal chandelier refracted the morning light, casting a kaleidoscope of colors on the marble floor. But Freen's gaze wasn't on the lavish decor; it was on the body lying on the floor. Becky Armstrong, the heiress to the Armstrong fortune, knelt beside her parents' lifeless bodies, her eyes vacant and her face pale. Freen's heart went out to the young woman, but she knew she had to remain professional. "What happened here?" Freen asked, her voice firm but gentle. Becky looked up, her eyes locking onto Freen's. "I...I don't know," she stammered. "I came home and found them like this." Freen's eyes narrowed. Something didn't add up. She could see the fear and grief etched on Becky's face, but there was something else, something Freen couldn't quite put her finger on. As she began to process the crime scene, Freen couldn't shake off the feeling that this was more than just a random murder. There were secrets lurking beneath the surface, secrets that Freen was determined to uncover. Little did she know, this case would not only test her skills as a detective but also challenge her emotions and force her to confront her own demons. I do not own the characters but story is mine:)Complete

Ambrosial
This is a fanfiction, considering that anything from this account will be fanfiction. All credit goes to the marvelous author @RobThier, for creating a masterpiece such as Storm and Silence, and it's sequel: In The Eye of The Storm. The characters are not mine, just merely borrowing them. x. Ambrosial (adj.) 1. worthy of the gods; ambrosian; 2. extremely pleasing to the taste; sweet and fragrant; She was something that I couldn't decipher. She was a mystery just as I am. She was something that I couldn't help but let my mind wander to. She was always a question that needn't be answered. You just have to understand her. And, I do. That was what I was afraid of. I can't afford to lose time. But then again, time seems not to be lost when I'm with her. And maybe, that's enough for me. {I can warn you right now that this would not be the same as the original because I suck at imitations and I do not plan on borrowing Sir Rob's writing style (which is flawless, by the way), and my writing style will probably be dominant. This would probably cause a lot of confusion (most of my stories do) since I am not really used to reading or writing Historical Fiction. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will not tolerate ludicrous comments, whining and comparing this to the original.} Cheers.Complete
