Sylvia Moore wants nothing more than to lead a life of her own choices, and escape her abusive and manipulated past. But as twins Harlyn and Amerry reel her into a violent political uprising, Sylvia begins to realize that she has no means to control her own life; she has only a single talent that aids in her survival against the law and those who benefit from it: her ability to adapt to each situation, and an incredible endurance to keep on living.
But in the midst of murder, betrayal, kidnapping and deteriorating moral values, Sylvia gains the burden of not being able to forgive herself for each person she hurts, from family to lovers and friends. Sylvia is nothing but the tale of a woman who gains only to lose, and to portray the life of someone who is simply nothing more than a pathetic coward.

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
