Some things, no matter how big, are hidden in plain sight.

*********************************************


She thought she was normal. She thought 
her fate would never cross the boundaries of her small town in Spain. She thought she had the most predictable life ever.


But she was a girl whose fate had already been decided. A fate written as soon as she was born. And that fate horrifying as it was, was casually handed to her as if handing her an ice cream cone.

She had lived in ignorance. She had lived without knowing that she would one day be the saviour of millions. It was as if hands from the sky had come down, taken her life and shaken it roughly while all she could do was helplessly watch and cope with the chain reaction of events that eventually would lead her to a horrifying truth, betrayal and her true identity; a one she did not know she possessed. 

History was here to be re-written by her.

He walked up behind me in the mirror and placed his left tattooed hand around my neck. I felt his warm breath on my neck sending chills down my spine. "Mmm baby you might want to watch that pretty little mouth of yours before I put my dick down your throat fucking it so hard that tears leak from your eyes," he whispered trailing his right hand down my side to my hip. "But I'm sure you would enjoy that, wouldn't you? Having my dick in your mouth claiming it as yours." he continued dipping his head down to kiss my neck. I shook my head no and he let a low sexy chuckle. "I need words baby." "N-no your w-wrong, " I stammered clenching my legs together. "Well, I guess we'll have to test that theory. Shall we?" he asked smirking at me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jaxton Capistrano has a troubled past and is looked at as a bad and dangerous person from everyone's view.

Bound by Bloodshed (Gladiator romance) by nrmartini
24 parts Ongoing Mature
Brewin Ambrade is fighting to live on borrowed time. After being molded into a weapon for the Romans to wield, killing has become second nature for the gladiator, and with each life taken by his hand, a piece of his humanity vanishes along with it. This catches the eye of Emperor Lucius Marius, who believes Brewin's sacrifices have earned him an opportunity at life outside the colosseum walls and within a set of another- his palace. Trapped by her father's iron grip and betrothed to a Roman general she despises, Cyra Marius is no less a prisoner than the man now appointed with watching her every move. She remains misunderstood... simply labeled a spoiled brat due to her defiance for the duties laid before her. Cyra yearns to see the world that exists beyond the walls lining Rome, and the broken gladiator with nothing to lose may just be the one to get her there. As their worlds clash, they come to an unexpected understanding... a connection that runs so deep it goes against everything they've ever known. Together, they begin to formulate a plan. Desperate to take back the freedom stolen from them, they'll do whatever it takes- no matter what the cost. *TRIGGER WARNING* Bound by Bloodshed is a time-piece depicting the lives of gladiators, the Roman Empire, and those at the mercy of their command. Brutality courses through the veins of this story, and though the names are that of fiction, many have suffered from the elements depicted on page, including: emotional and physical abuse, sexual acts, violence, injury, human death, animal death, blood, and gore. To all the victims of unfair treatment, know that you are seen. Readers who may wish to avoid these topics, read with caution. To those ready to fight, join us as we enter the colosseum.

My Life Of Evasion by writeon27
28 parts Complete
Passport? Check. Book of maps to every country in the world? Check. The world's best treasure hunting dad and the most incredible stepmom? Check. My amazing boyfriend of over a year and a half? Check! The same crazy guy who'd been chasing us on our last exploration and the group of other crazy people he's basically teamed up with? Ugh, check. And the newest member of our group, my baby sister Addy, who's going on her very first treasure hunt at the tender age of four months old? Oh, my gosh, check! Call me, Callie Landon, a complete fool and I'd have to totally agree. As to what type of fool, I'd let you know. I was a fool in love, a fool to do what we did every day, a fool to trust Agents Jenna Hudson and Chris Turner when they said that they had another treasure for us to find, one that's only known by the FBI and the government and hadn't gone public. And just what was that treasure? Well, we didn't know. And neither did they. It was apparently life changing, though, so I was guessing pretty big. Our group was going to be bigger on this exploration, that's for sure. And we were adding another, rather unexpected person: Sophie Barnes, who was Max's ex-girlfriend. This treasure hunt was going to be even more dangerous than our others. It was going to full of sneaking into government facilities in other countries, stealing priceless items that were supposed to be heavily guarded, car chases, near kidnappings...and enough dirty diapers to knock out a hundred men just with the smell. It was going to be one crazy adventure. But then again, it always was in the world of treasure hunting. (Book 3 in the My Life Series)
