Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Complete
Witchcraft and nasty little murders
Ophelia is a witch, although she does not use her powers because of the events of seven years ago. One night, she has a strange dream in which she finds herself at the scene of a ritual murder. From then on, she is the prime suspect in the case, so Detective Darren Harper is always on her tail. They soon realise that it's better to work together to solve the crime. Meanwhile, a forgotten figure from her past comes forward and turns her life upside down. Dark past, mystery, passion and murder mark the pages of this story, as do the blood spilled and the tattoos in the skin... Will Ophelia dare to face her ability and the knowledge that she can not only harm, but help others? Can she find her way through the ever more tangled details of the case? How long can her best friend Lyra help her without getting into trouble? And most importantly, will she give in to her past or can she turn over a new page in the book of her life?Complete
