Strength and Sensuality [Completed]
A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence.

It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work.

The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City AwardsComplete

WHEN MORTALS WRESTLE FORCES
Enam meets Reginald in the most unexpected way ever- in a night club, the night her lover of four years cheats on her. She's devastated and he's frustrated with his life at present, and we all (well, most of us) know, devastation and frustration, plus alcohol do not mix well. They have a one-night 'thing' and it is as literal as the term: "one-night thing". They part ways, in the most unexpected way, again. But sometimes, the heart wants unexpected things....in the most unexpected way. Fate brings them back together again in yet another unexpected way (At this point, maybe I should just change the title to unexpected way?). And just when their coconut heads (or hearts) have come to agree that it was more than just 'physical entanglement' that night, several obstacles and dangers loom in the dark for them. Forces are at war with mere mortals.... In the face of a battle that doesn't look winnable (because the story is hardly told of mortals who went to war against forces and won), what do Enam and Reginald do??? I cannot tell you what happens; whether they overcome or not (because I want you to read my book so I don't go broke), but one thing I'll tell you: You're waiting to know? Oh read the book for God's sake! Didn't you read that part where I said I'm about to go broke? Love, Always. Mz. Sefa❤️
