Fame, fortune, and family vs. First love. In the Victoron, there can be only one Champion.
City-boy Matt Zeagram can't fathom why, out of all the habitable planets, his ancestors colonized Boreas, the harshest hunk of ice in the Milky Way. No matter. One day, he'll escape this miserable, melting ice cube and never look back. His ticket out of here-the Victoron- an annual, multi-phase competition designed to find the best and brightest of the United Cities' incoming senior class. This year, he will be Victoron Champion. After years of studying and training, he stands on the precipice of fame, fortune, and fulfilling his dreams. The only downfall-leaving his first love, Kendall, behind.
Heartbroken, outlander Kendall Lewis never expects to see Matt again. A glorious future awaits him inside the domed cities. As for her, she'd be thrilled if her absentee, yet still overbearing father granted her so much as a smidgeon of say over her own life. Instead, on behalf of the outland government, her father drafts her to compete in the Victoron as a spy. With aggressions between the cities and the outlanders rising faster than the flood waters, Kendall must win the Victoron in order to gain access to intelligence that will allow her people to survive the world-wide thaw.
As the Victoron progresses and Matt and Kendall vie for the top rank, the competition isn't the only thing that heats up. It's a battle between scorn and forgiveness, duty and desire, glory and love.

The second blooming ( FROZEN VOWS)
--: "Frozen Vows" Jennie Kim was never the type to believe in love. Two years ago, she married Kai, the perfect heir of the Kim family, but their marriage was built on power and duty-not affection. Before anything could change, Kai died in an unexpected accident, leaving Jennie as a widowed businesswoman with no room for emotions. Now, just two months after his death, both families demand she marry again-this time to Lisa, Kai's younger brother. Unlike Kai, Lisa is nothing like his cold-hearted family. He is kind, intelligent, and built his own company without relying on his family's wealth. But because of his independence, his own family sees him as an outcast. Even Kai despised him. Lisa never wanted to marry Jennie. She was his brother's wife. He knows she doesn't love him-maybe she never even loved Kai. But now, forced into a marriage neither of them asked for, Lisa and Jennie must find a way to coexist. Jennie tells herself she doesn't care about Lisa. But when every woman around her starts admiring her new husband, why does it make her heart ache? Will this forced marriage remain a cold contract, or will Lisa's warmth melt Jennie's frozen heart? --- hope you like it guys lisa as man in itComplete
The Multiples
At lightning speed I threw open the covers of the bed , checking for any trace of missing clothing ; Every ounce of my fiber, of my being was yelling at me to get out of here ,to run as fast as I could and never look back. I guess in a way , it serves me right for being here again. I was weak. I was too weak to even stand. Watching all the eyes in the room fall on me and my shaking hand , I almost hesitated. But I didn't think. And that's the problem. **** Olivia Davis was no ordinary preppy teenage girl living off of her father's fame and fortune. Living from one shopping spree to the next , riding the best and newest car. Infact , she was the exact opposite of who her father wanted as the princess of his multi billionaire company. She was loud . Cold. And had an attitude that would put her grandmother to shame . She was nothing anyone expected from someone who graduated high school with honours . So what if her graduation gift was the news that she has a fiancé ? Not one . But TWO ! None of which she had a say in what so ever . But they say that two is better than one right? *started 18 June 2019* *finished 26 March 2020* *edited 9 April 2020*Complete
The Jack of Souls (Multi-award winner!)
************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.Complete

Before The Bad - Volume I
"If I told you my secrets, you would never look at me the same." His fingertips graze my jaw, travelling up behind my ear and into my hair. I let out a soft sigh, unsure of how I feel about all of this. It's all sort of abrupt, but the way my stomach flutters when I'm around him is undeniable. Jaxon inches his face closer and I'm sure he's going to kiss me. Only he doesn't. He shakes his head and steps back, rethinking his choice. And now, he's gone. He's left me, in the empty parking lot of Cardinal Carter, and all I'm left with is the chanting from the field. I turn my head and watch him pick up his pace as he nears his Jeep. He fooled me. Again. Really, I should've never let an old flame burn twice. ---------- If anyone's experienced childhood trauma, it's Stella Blake. In her just fourteen years of life, she's witnessed her abusive, alcoholic father repeatedly beat her mother, saved her mother's life during the last straw, and truly knows what poverty is like. Headed into her freshman year of the prestigious Cardinal Carter Academy, Stella finally feels as if she's better. She knows she is. Her mother and her are doing fine now-financially and mentally. So what could go wrong? Jaxon Spade is the complete opposite. A once good boy turned Juvenile, the Junior carries an immense secret. One that he's sure will dethrone him as king. Jaxon is set to be the heir of the Canadian Mafia, also known as his fathers company, Spade Industries. Often seen as a rich boy who doesn't understand the ways of survival, he was once declared as Stella Blake's first love. Hiding family troubles of his own, Jaxon emotionally struggles to get by. That is, until he lays his eyes on Stella Blake. Prequel to Good Gone Bad - if you'd like some insight on the characters after their high school experiences, I suggest you read that first.Complete
