Servatia looked up to find a sword levelled at her neck. She squeaked in a very unladylike manner before a man spoke.
"You have three seconds to tell my why you're here or I'll separate your head from your shoulders." His voice was cold and chilled her all the way to her toes.
Servatia felt her stomach heave in fear and her legs gave out, collapsing and depositing her on his doorstep. 'Either I'm going to be taken back to the castle or I'm going to die at the hands of this man.' She lamented as tears started to fall from her eyes.
"Enough of this," the man re-positioned the sword, pressing lightly against her throat, "What do you want?"
The feel of steel against her throat had Servatia gasping, "Please, please just hide me." More tears fell as she begged. She knew it was unseemly from someone such as herself to beg, but at the moment, all she cared about was living.

The Pirate's Prophecy
He laughs, the sound rich and rough, sending a shiver down my spine. "God, you're infuriating." I mutter, glaring at him as our blades lock. "And you're intoxicating." He replies, his voice dropping to a whisper. My breath hitches. In that split second of distraction, he twists his blade, knocking my cutlass from my hands. Before I can react, he steps forward, pinning me against the railing, his blade at my throat. His breath brushes my skin, his green eyes dark and unreadable as they stare into mine. "Yield?" He murmurs, his voice soft but dangerous. My chest heaves. Our breaths mingling in the narrow space between us. His eyes are locked on mine, dark and smoldering, and I can't look away. "Never." I breathe, my heart hammering in my chest. The tension between us snaps, sharp and undeniable. His gaze drops to my lips, lingering there for a moment that stretches impossibly long. *********** They never asked to be chosen. They never asked for a prophecy. But destiny doesn't care what they want. Isabella's world shatters when she and her friends are thrust into a realm of magic, danger, and secrets older than time itself. Forced into a fight they don't fully understand, they must rely on each other-and on the mysterious stranger who carries more shadows than answers. As love blossoms where it shouldn't, as loyalty is tested, and as grief carves its mark into their hearts, Isabella learns that strength isn't born from power-it's forged in the bonds we refuse to let break. But every victory comes at a cost. And when one war ends, another begins. Epic, romantic, and heart-wrenching, a story of friendship, sacrifice, and the kind of love that refuses to be forgotten-even in the face of destiny.Complete
The Hunted - Book 1 of the Lost Royals Series
"I shall never tell," the Queen replied. Without another word the man thrust the dagger into her and Adrastea let out an involuntary scream, quickly covering her mouth. But it was too late. The Human snapped his head around and looked at the door. His face was square and dirty, with a scruffy blond beard and a long scar across his forehead, nose, and cheek. Adrastea stared with wide eyes at the horrid thing, still covering her mouth. The man leaped for the door and the Princess jumped back as it swung open, running as fast as her legs would carry her back down the hall. "GUARDS!" she screamed hoarsely, dashing up the stairs. She could hear the man's footsteps right behind her but did not dare look back. "GUARDS!" Adrastea yelled again. Reaching the top of the stairs the young Princess halted, looking down the empty hall. The guards were gone.Complete

Sneak peak: "Ssh... They're going to hear you! Be quiet and act like you're sleeping!" he whispered loudly. Celine shut her mouth and moved as far away from him as she possibly could without falling out of the bed. "At the first opportunity he could slit my guts open to get that gem," she thought nervously. She was still holding the dagger so she moved the hand that was holding it to where he could see it. "I'm still armed so don't try anything foolish," she warned him. He looked shocked and a little taken aback. "Like I'm really going to do anything improper with all these soldiers crawling around," he said in irritation. They both fell silent. Then he hastily got up from the bed. "Anyway, you're not my type," he replied angrily. He walked over to the chair and grabbed his cloak and spread it out on the floor in front of the fire to make a pallet. Then he laid down and turned his back on her. Celine ignored him and listened to see if she could hear what was going on below. She could hear the soldiers speaking downstairs in the tavern but couldn't make out what they were saying. It sounded like they were already setting up their headquarters. "Just my luck," she thought. "I don't know how I'm going to get out of this one! The enemy is all around me!" Then she glanced over at Brandon who was still lying by the fire. "Even in this very room!"Complete

The Prince's Assassin
The blade of my hidden knife stops just a few centimetres from the prince's warm skin of his neck. He lays there, eyes closed and rhythmic breathing. His defined jaw relaxed and his teeth barely showing behind his pink lips. I hear voices coming from the hallway. I glance up at the door then back to the sleeping Prince. The door handle rattles, the guards yell from behind the wall. I bite my lip, balancing the blade just on the skin of the prince's neck. The door bursts open just as I slip out of the bedroom window into the cool midnight, no evidence of my attempt to assassinate the prince. ~~~~~~~~~~ Trained Assassin, skilled in over 4 martial arts, specialised in weaponry and one on one combat... And I couldn't kill the prince. So my question is, what stopped me? ____________________________________ "My chest literally hurts.

Faded Armor Timeless Love
A familiar voice cut through the din of battle. Her breath caught. Max. His commanding tone carried across the field as he directed his troops. "Hold the line! Push them back toward the ravine!" Camilla pressed herself deeper into the shadows, pulling her hood lower. Five years had passed since she'd last seen him, yet his presence still made her pulse race. The hood's rough fabric scratched against her cheek as she adjusted it, ensuring her face remained hidden. "The mysterious captain fights well," Max's voice carried from somewhere behind her. Too close. She dispatched her opponent with a move she instantly regretted - a distinctive disarming technique Max had taught her years ago. "That move..." His footsteps approached. "Captain!" A messenger rode up, providing the distraction she needed. "Enemy reinforcements approaching from the north!" "Not possible," Camilla muttered, forgetting to disguise her voice. "We destroyed their northern supply lines." The messenger shook his head. "They've found another route, through the mountain pass." Max's sharp intake of breath told her he'd recognized her voice. "Cam?" She kept her back turned, barking orders to her troops. "Secure the perimeter! Prepare for-" "Camilla." His hand caught her shoulder. She shrugged it off, still not facing him. "We have more pressing concerns than reunions, General." "Look at me." "The enemy is-" "That's an order, Captain."Complete
