Kate is a modern woman, but when her uncle leaves her a large estate in his will, she finds herself sucked into a completely different world.
Gone are jeans and mobile phones, to be replaced by stiff gowns and headdresses and the overwhelming sense that something isn't right.
Kate has to hide her modern mind and immerse herself completely into a past world, surrounded by people who wouldn't always wish her well.
When she arrives at the sombre court of a dying king, more secrets are revealed until she realises that she's in imminent danger, all because of the truth.
*** I began writing years ago, and it has been set aside as other ideas came into my head and took over. But upon the request of someone, I decided to share this with you. Compared to my writing now, I'd say it's easy to tell how much I've matured and improved, but I invite you to be the judge of that and have a read of my other two works. ****

What would it take to say it's you
Helena has always been the unwanted daughter. It took her parents ten years to give birth to a male heir. Even though she's always been neglected, considered as an alliance token and made to marry whomever her father pleases, she's always believed that in a world where men got to go to school and be whatever they wanted, she could change her future and take it into her hands. After all the attention is focused on the upbringing of her brother, she takes it as an opportunity to slip out of the house and mingle into the world of men. Arthur is the heir to a long standing dukedom, his father expects a lot from him so he's given him all the freedom he asks for in exchange of doing what's asked of him. On a night out with his friends he meets William a man that he immediately recognizes as a woman in disguise. He indulges her in her lies giving her all the time in the world to come clean to him and share her secret. But what happens when she doesn't seem to want to share her secret? And what's to become of them when his father forces him into a marriage he's not ready for? *************** This is a work of fiction. It's far from being historically or culturally accurate.

Amulet
Emily has always been a simple village girl-or so she thought. Raised by her loving but secretive Nana and Uncle Sebastian, her life has been anything but ordinary. Every five years, they uproot and move to a new place. And then there's the one thing that sets her apart from everyone else: she can teleport. In the Six Kingdoms, creatures known as "Travelers"-those who can cross between realms-are believed to be long extinct. But Emily is living proof that the legends are wrong. She has inherited a rare and powerful gift, one that once belonged to her mother. Yet, this ability is dangerous, a secret that must be kept at all costs. When Emily stumbles upon the truth about her parents' past, she is thrust into a world of hidden legacies, forbidden magic, and long-buried secrets. As she unravels the mysteries surrounding her origins, she must learn to control a power that could tear the very fabric of reality apart. Who can she trust when even those closest to her have secrets of their own? With only a forgotten amulet, the echoes of a mother she never knew, and the unwavering love of her guardians, Emily must navigate a path fraught with peril, love, and betrayal. Because in a world where the past refuses to stay buried, her destiny is not just her own-it could determine the fate of all realms.

The Ring
This is book one of a three book series. All of them are on Amazon, but I started writing the story on wattpad and wanted to keep it here for memories. Enjoy! _____________________________________________ "Beautiful women always fall for me." Sarcasm was laced in her words. "Glad to know i'm just a number to you." He stopped crawling beside her and dropped his joking manner as he saw the dark haired girl had grown visibly upset. Kandor shook his head, "I don't dream of you that way in the slightest, Chrissa." Her eyes shifted to his lips, and then back up at his eyes.

Rich People Problems
As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.
