✩ Darling Disaster ✩| Fairy Tale Gone Wrong |
Fairytales were never meant for girls like her. Illyria was meant to be the jewel of her kingdom-a perfect bride locked away in a floating castle, guarded by a beast until a hero came to claim her. But. Unfortunately for everyone, Illyria has never been good at following the script... or staying put. With a emotion-driven magic and a dragon who cares more about snacks than savagery, her escape from the tower is anything but graceful. But freedom comes with a price. The prophecy tied to her whispers doom: if Illyria falls in love with the wrong man, kingdoms will crumble. And the wrong man is already watching. Lucien Duskbane- "The Villain" in every wrong stories - is dark, ruthless, and far too handsome for anyone's good-intended to use Illyria as a weapon. What he didn't expect was a girl who laughed at danger, out-magicked her own disasters, and turned his carefully constructed plans into a mess of silk, fire, and sass. Now, with a sparkly prince chasing her for marriage, a villain pursuing her, and an ever-growing trail of magical mayhem in her wake, Illyria must decide what kind of disaster she's willing to be-darling or deadly. But one thing's certain - this is not how fairy tales are supposed to go.

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.

a thousand instincts (#1)
Life Lesson #1: If you are planning on going to a nightclub in the middle of sketchy, dark woods, don't. Life Lesson #2: If there are too many attractive, healthy people in said nightclub, be alarmed and rethink Life Lesson #1. Life Lesson #3: If you were foolish enough to ignore rules 1 and 2, I suggest you haul ass. Aeress is one of those special people who obviously need a couple more life lessons... ----------------------------------------------------------------- He chuckled. It was dry but it was an addictive sound. "No," he brought his nose against her collar, "not at all." His lips skimmed over her exposed skin. She sighed at his touch, riding the sweet, overwhelming waves that came with. "You've barely touched me," Aeress had her hands skimming up the back of his neck and in between his strands. "And I'm falling apart." His voice was a little hollow and this worried her. "The bond we have is responsible for that." She tugged at him until he looked up. For a moment she just basked in how handsome he was. "I don't think so," she leaned in for a kiss, "I think that you are just about the most fascinating man I have ever met. And we have only just met. I don't think a bond can simply erase the will of an independent woman like me." His eyes came to life with a blazing fire. He closed the distance between them and kissed sensation back into her body, setting off every nerve in her flesh. Everything came to a boiling point, sizzling with need. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°° Highest Rank: #7 in Werewolf, #79 in Romance
