To be a soldier one needs that special gene, that extra something that enables a person to jump into a one on one combat, something, after all, that is unimaginable to most of us, as we are simply not brave enough.
Meet Caitriona Moore, a beautiful and single child psychologist from Greece who has spent her entire life hiding behind a book. But when she decided to let herself loose and experience love, she didn't imagine that her first love would cause her such pain. What she didn't expect was for her to fall in love with a marine, out of all people. Now she has to decide whether she is ready to take that step and probably suffer from heartache or ignore her heart's desire. Heart vs Logic.
Meet Liam Brooke, a young marine who is about to report for duty. He is not interested in finding himself a girlfriend especially now that his future is uncertain. He doesn't want to hold her back but he can't imagine a life that she is not a part of. He wants to be able to return home to her. But can he ask her that? Can he ask her to give up her dream on living a carefree life?
No matter what happens the heart will always win!

Paper Cranes
Published on Amazon! Link in my Bio. One test, only two results. Teague had everything a dominant could hope for: a loving family, freedom to chase any career, and the privilege of higher education. The only thing missing was a submissive to complete his life. But with mounting student debt threatening his future, he makes a bold choice-enlisting in the army to secure financial stability. It seemed like an easy decision at the time. After all, there hadn't been a war in years. Basic training, drills, maybe some security detail-he could handle a few years of service for the country he loved. What could go wrong? Then, war erupted. Thrown onto the front lines, Teague finds himself deep in the chaos, far from the secure future he once envisioned. His mission now: sweep through the war-torn, supposedly abandoned city of Duro. But as with everything in war, nothing is as it seems. Then there was her, a woman. Her fate had been sealed the second she came from the womb. As the fourth wife of a powerful lord, her life was a shadow-always the least favored, the least important, the least considered. Her only goal: survive another day. But when horrors tear through her home, she's forced into a choice that changes everything-one that leaves her with blood on her hands. Captured and taken behind enemy lines, she faces an impossible decision: who can she trust in a world governed by power and control? The ways of her captors seem so similar to her own people, yet Teague insists they are not.Complete![Halo: Front Lines [BOOK ONE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/276823252-256-k871444.jpg)
Halo: Front Lines [BOOK ONE]
[COMPLETED] War. Sacrifice. Two inevitabilities of human nature come together once more as the human race encounters its latest Great Filter. The Covenant. A genocidal alien alliance hell-bent on the utter destruction of man-kind. A theocratic society convinced that humanity is the only thing standing in its way between eternal damnation, and ascension to godliness. As humanity quickly realizes they're outmanned, outmatched, and outgunned they call on the young and vibrant to defend their way of life. Joseph Gray. An ordinary young man living an ordinary life finds his society crumbling apart at the seams due to an ever-intensifying plague of insurrection that seems to spread faster than it can be quelled. After joining the Marines to make a difference, to bring stability to his society, he soon realizes that he's no more than a minuscule cog in a very large machine. Harvest. A major farming colony at the edge of UNSC-controlled space goes offline. Just as Gray thinks he'll coast out his short-term service in the Corps, tragedy strikes, and a new player enters the field. Now Gray must desperately juggle the responsibilities of maintaining his relationship with the girl of his dreams, raising a future family, surviving the Covenant onslaught, and most of all: Keeping his humanity. The Covenant doesn't play by the rules in their quest to exterminate humanity, and as the UNSC grows desperate, Gray's world will be rocked time and time again. ***Warning: Mature Content*** Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Halo.

Always Faithful
Our favorite characters from The Royal Romance are U.S. citizens in this Alternate Universe, and are involved in the military life. In this series, the characters will be members/spouses of the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force. You will follow their lives as they are stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I am SO excited about this series! I served in the U.S. Air Force myself, as well as my husband served in the U.S. Marine Corps. A lot of what is written in this FanFic series will be based on real-life military standards and ways of life, but some of it will be fiction. My husband was actually stationed in Okinawa, Japan several years ago, so a lot of my knowledge and ideas for this story will be "researched" through him, as well as my own knowledge and experiences in the military. I am air lifting our precious characters out of Cordonia and transforming them into U.S. born citizens who proudly serve the U.S. military. The characters may stray a bit from canon, specifically "Prince/King Liam". The military mindset/personality can be very different, especially in contrast to how the characters are in The Royal Romance. In this series, I have them growing up as Americans. They will not be exactly as you know them, however, I will be sticking to their personalities as much as possible. Always Faithful will involve a lot issues that many military members and their spouses go through. It is not my intention to make this series "dark", but it will not always be sunshine and rainbows. This series is for mature audiences only.Complete
