This romantic adventure follows the monumental journey of orphaned brother and sister, Ben and Elizabeth Robinson. They are unknowingly descended from a highly evolved race that colonised and integrated with us over 5000 years ago after fleeing from their doomed planet, Angelos.

This gentle and deeply compassionate race had evolved over the millennia to have a dreadful power over Nature, but they chose to integrate with us at the cost of diluting their bloodline and consequently reducing their longevity and powers. 5000 years later there remains only two full blooded 'Angels', Maelstrominha and Crystalita, nubile Matriarchs of their civilisation, who's pure genes are their only hope for the rejuvenation of their kind. Elizabeth and Ben are siblings of that same bloodline, a rare occurrence and essential to the Angels to achieve this continuity.

When the Angels colonised, they brought with them baggage in the form of another much darker corrupt race, the 'Shadows', who they lost control of over the centuries. The Shadows did not integrate and consequently did not dilute their powers and, as a result, the balance of power tipped their way. They became the ruling power in today's global society consisting of the oligarchs, corrupt politicians, religious leaders, zealots and terrorists.

Elizabeth and Ben get caught up in the dreadful, on-going power struggle between these two conflicting races, fighting a war for peace and harmony on the one side and ultimate global domination on the other. The adventure and enduring love stories that ensue will have you riveted!  Quote one reader who has read the whole book: "Fantastic book! Exciting and gripping, the plot takes you on a trip through various historical characters and different times! It's a real page-turner and definitely worth a read. You won't regret it and I promise that if you like fantasy adventure with romance, you won't!

"There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are.

You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you." . . . Elio Nott is perhaps one of the most well-known bachelors in the Wizarding World. He's dashing, charming, and never serious. Which is why when Elio turns twenty-three with no signs of settling down, his parents decide to force him into the world of pureblood balls and matchmaking, much to his chagrin.

Annalise Riddle is quiet, slow to trust, and prefers the company of her piano to one of her peers any day. As the daughter of the Dark Lord, she is constantly in danger so Annie spends her days shyly hidden away for fear of being harmed by one of his many enemies. So she isn't expecting to go to a ball and meet a stunning boy with grey eyes and a charming grin that takes away all of her defenses. Panicking, Annie leaves and vows to never see him again. Until he shows up another night to search for her. A Game of Cat and Mouse tells of a woman afraid of love and a man so determined to have her that he will stop at nothing. This book contains instant attraction, billionaire-esque playboy MMC, a sprinkle of dark romance, cinderella retelling, brother's rival, "he falls first AND harder", forced proximity, and lots of male pining. This is a spinoff of the Slytherin Boys series. It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required.

The Scientist by SSEBMI
9 parts Ongoing
If I cannot be loved I'll be wanted. "There was basically nothing that the scientists had not altered and played with, changed it's appearance or structure. Directed electricity through it to made it move or to restart a heart, by using machines and generators. The difference was that the Gifted only needed some power of will." "The air in the rooms had grown heavier and hotter, Eliza couldn't breathe. She stood outside the bathroom, in the corner, where the hallway opened to the huge living room where the party was the most alive. Someone had gotten up to the coffee table and was dancing themselves to death. In the middle of the floor there was a honey blond boy with pearls around his neck and five people glued to him, unbuttoning his shirt, kissing his collarbone. " The weight of being expected to do great things had dragged Eliza and Kal down their whole lives. Whilst trying to find comfort to their hurt they manage to unravel truths that were hidden for a reason. And when every hand around you is soaked with unknown blood, who can you trust? The Scientist is the first book out of three to tell this story of young love, power, morality and madness. WARNING! Book rated K16 This book talks about heavy topics such as depression, de@th, child abuse and sèx. It also views over ideologies and religion, politics and other often very different feelings provoking topics. This is not a thing to comment negatively about, you have been informed. Other than that I hope you enjoy the story and (this is Wattpad so it might not be a surprise but) just so you know English isn't my first language and I'd be happy if you can inform me of some misuse of words so I can get better. Remember to be nice :) I OWN THIS STORY AND ALL IT'S RIGHTS. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT PLAGIARIZING IS A CRIME. (hey that rhymed) (hey that too) (enjoy the book, i love you :)
