Ever thought what it feels like to constantly supress your real emotions and to hide your honest opinions of those around you? In a word, how it feels like to wear a mask?
That's what Evangeline Elliott has been doing ever since she started working as a lady's maid. She is torn between two different worlds: hers and theirs - the noble and rich families from Yorkshire.
Set in England during the post-Edwardian era, this is the story of a young woman who arrives at Downton Abbey with only one goal in mind: to start fresh. Yet in spite of her attempt to stay out of trouble, she gets caught in in the middle of a family conflict, again. But this time, she is the one who unconsciously sets things in motion and what's more, she will have someone on her side, someone from "their" world.
"When two worlds collide" is a novel that deals with prejudices, sacrifice and, above all, the unfailing power of love.

Dragon Blood
"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future.

The Protagonists
"Every fiction book that has ever been created occurs in the same universe. While knights are fighting dragons, the next vampire phenomenon is being played out. This world is beautiful as it swirls with possibility and everyone's fantasy comes to life. But it is far from good. Corruption reigns as governments vie for representation in the books being published upstairs, in your world. Our lives do not matter. Our thoughts and feelings are dirt for the sake of entertainment. I myself have been whittled down to the "damsel in distress" archetype and it has cost me dearly. Society is a mess and anyone who speaks out is immediately silenced." Those are the words of Paige Burns, just another character in our books. She is stuck in a boarding school until she meets a witty, outspoken girl who brings with her a book written by someone who has escaped their horrid society, which, by the way, has some shocking similarities to our own. They break the book's code and with two stalkers and me, they embark on a journey to break free of a society they fear they can no longer fix. Throughout the journey, I recorded every conversation, every incident, every thought, and every last fear. And here it is.Complete

Euodia's Sun | Your Omegas Are Mine [Soulmate Reverse Harem]
In a post-apocalyptic world where men are Omegas, and women are Alphas... Crushed by a bus, Quinn should be dead. Instead, she found herself in the body of a fictional character- Euodia, the antagonist in an R21 Boys Love apocalyptic novel featuring vampires, shifters and fairies. A villainess who had been killed by the seven main characters, the Omega kings of the uprising. Quinn knew that she should stay out of their path. That the only way for her to live was to survive in the wastelands-a feat that was not difficult with her newfound ability to cast spells and purchase items from her past. But the kingdom came to realise that Omega men could not survive without an Alpha mate; that children were no longer born; and too many females had been killed in the war between Alphas and Omegas. Quinn should be exempted from the Mating Laws. Nobody cared for a Beta-a human-like Alpha that could never satisfy an Omega. Still, they kidnapped her; made her serve the men. And in the elite halls of Azarius, she found the seven kings who had murdered Euodia in cold blood. Her soulmates. And as much as they hated her, they needed her to survive.
A Country Divided : Through Blood United
On a warm morning in the 1850's, Evangeline relaxes in her massive Missourian estate without a worry in the world. Evangeline's day collapses as her twin brother and father burst into the living room, chasing after the "family friend" because she did not fulfill her morning jobs, revealing the friend's true role in the house: a slave; brought into the Freebourne's family estate as their property. The event forever altered Evangeline's view on both the idea of slavery and her family, provoking her to run away with Jewel, and instead of the warm feeling of compassion toward her father and brother, a newer, colder perception emerged: hate. Although she still deeply cared for her flesh and blood, her feelings competed as she abhorred her family's principles. Her hate for her brother's Confederate opinions and her will to fight for freedom for all could drive her to take the lives of those opposed to her -including her twin brother- but does that really make Evangeline a killer?
