Desert princess

For 18 year old Tara, the desert had never been kind. It was a cruel master-one that took more than it ever gave, leaving behind stories etched in sand: tales of survival. Tara was one of those stories.

Abandoned by fate. Forgotten by the world. Forgotten by *him*-the man she had loved with every thread of her being, for whom she would have become anything. He throwed her aside as if she had never belonged to him at all, as if her love had been nothing but dust in the wind.

But that was two and a half years ago.

Now, she had changed-and so had her heart. She wasn't that girl anymore.

Or so she thought.

Because he wasn't finished with her.
And neither was the desert.

The Billion Dollar Proposal [#9]

He stepped toward her, lifted her chin in his hand and opened his mouth, but words wouldn't come out.

"Connor..."

"You could have been wearing something a lot similar to this while reciting your vows to Stephen." He wanted to sew his mouth shut when he saw the look of horror on her face. He had said something terribly wrong. "I forgot for a moment that you two are just friends and he gave you up because I love you so damn much."

The dress was suddenly too much to bear. It weighed heavy on her, and the tiara on her head had her scalp crawling with beads of sweat. The lace on the gown made her entire body itch while the blinding white material burned her eyes to tears.

"Get this off of me," she cried, desperately reaching for the zipper. A white dress and a jealous boyfriend were not included when she joined the agency.

"Have you contacted the council about the rogues?"

"Yes and they say that rogues don't band together in mass amounts."

"Did you tell them about the lack of scents?"

I roll my eyes at his question. "Of course I did."

"And?"

"And they think there's a witch out there causing havoc for the rogues," I scoff. "They said that only a witch could hide a wolf's scent but I can't seem to think of what witch would be out there doing silly experiments that won't benefit them. They'd be better off working with a pack if they had any interest there at all."

"I get where they're coming from but this is mass reports across the country," he says pointing to the map. "I've been on the phone with packs all over the country having the same issues. We seem to have a higher concentration as of late," he furrows his brows.

"Other packs have been having decreases of these rogues?" He nods.

"This past week alone we've had six sightings and it's only Thursday." I feel tension rise behind my eyes as the realization hit me.

"It's Celeste, isn't it. . ."

Tangled Hearts

[BOOK 1]

"I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards
into a smile.

"You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead.

I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions.

Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life.

Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit.

But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart.

Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.


Black as Coal | ✓

Cronan is angry. Angry that after years of waiting, he's mated to the one wolf he never wanted.

Fen is stuck. Stuck in a state of purgatory that he doesn't know how to escape from.

After learning of his mate's crimes, Cronan never expected to see him again. However, fate works in mysterious ways and the Moon Goddess isn't ready to allow the pair to walk away from each other.

The logical side of Cronan tells him to walk away before he gets entangled in Fen's web of deceit, but he can't deny the way the bond they share calls for him - nor can he deny the feeling of Fen's lips on his time and time again.


Signs From The Universe (bxb)

Alex has been looking for a sign from the universe. A sign to tell him that he needs to keep fighting. To live on for his brother who died in a tragic car accident.

When Alex stumbles across a man in town wearing a blindfold, holding a sign that says, 'You are not alone. If you need a talk or a hug. I am here.' He takes it upon himself to approach the stranger.

Was this the sign he has been looking for?

-

River has been a mental health advocate for three years. With his own demons battled, he takes it upon himself to support others. More specifically strangers. He has always found peace in helping those who suffer in silence.

When River is approached by a man who expresses his depressive tendencies, he decides to take the broken stranger for coffee, out of fear of what might happen if he lets him go. River tells him to offload, release all the sadness and frustration he has into someone who knows nothing about him.

But when he leaves, River can't stop thinking about him.

It's not until Alex comes back a few months later to thank him for listening when he needed help the most.

Alex has a lot to thank for his signs from the universe.

"You think you can handle this deal on your own?" Daven smirked, watching her with amusement.

Romaisa crossed her arms. "I don't think so. I know. And I certainly don't need advice from a man who wins cases in a system designed for men like him." She said mockingly as his smirk vanished into the air.

Romaisa Rathore isn't the kind of girl who waits to be saved.
Once teased for how she looked, she turned her pain into strength. At just 18 years old, she built one of India's top jewelry companies all by herself. Everyone saw her as just a sweet daughter from a rich family but Romaisa showed the world she's much more. She's smart, strong, and doesn't let anyone tell her what she can or can't do.

Daven Wilson is the definition of success. A top lawyer from Manchester, England. He's sharp, ruthless, and dangerously charming. Coming from one of England's most prosperous families, he's used to winning, both in the courtroom and in life. His trip to Bangalore was meant to be a break, nothing more. But then he meets her. Romaisa Rathore. His best friend's younger sister. Off-limits. Stubborn and a storm in the form of a woman.

She challenges him in ways no one ever has. But beneath the sharp words and heated arguments, something unspoken lingers something undeniable.

They can't stand each other. But they can't seem to stay away either.


Craving Oblivion (New York Billionaires Book 3)

She feared the dark and escaped it.
He ruled the dark and lived in it.

Zarah:
I've spent my entire life in the spotlight, living up to the facade of the perfect Romano Princess, turning a blind eye to the dark, twisted world of the wicked.
Nobody ever saw through me... except him.

Logan Ivan Markov, the paragon of morally gray; an intelligent criminal lawyer and agent.
He was charming, deadly, and a devious manipulator sitting in expensive tailored suits, playing the part of an ethical and calculative attorney.

Those who knew him knew the dangers of a man like Logan. But not me.
He was a puzzle I couldn't solve, a message I couldn't decode, a mystery I couldn't unravel, the oblivion I chased. I knew from the moment I met him that we were destined to animosity, to stay far apart. But our bickering and fate had other plans.

I never expected to get wrapped up in the dark world of corruption and billionaires; I never expected to need saving, but most of all, I never expected Logan to save me, let alone marry me.

...

Logan:
All my life, I've lived in the dark and twisted world of corruption, danger, and betrayal. Most people knew the life I came with. The murders, the money, and the brutality. Most people... except her.

Zarah Amaira Romano was the bane of my existence from the moment I met her. She was the embodiment of chaos, someone who made me feel too much, someone I couldn't erase after a single night together. She could bring me to ruins if she tried.

I knew from the moment we met that Zarah was more dangerous than any bullet or dagger to the heart, she was worse than any drug. I knew if I got too close, she'd be the fire that burned me. The oblivion I would crave.

But when she became the key to all the secrets I spent my life trying to unravel, I knew what I had to do. I never expected to get involved with her again. She was too bright, too passionate... untainted.
Until she became my wife.

Ashton is haunted by his grief and struggles focusing on anything else. To make matters worse, he keeps having dreams about the glowing winged figure repeating the same phrase: protect the savior.

So, when Ashton nearly meets his fate at the hands of Infernum cantivat, Beatrice awakens another power whilst rescuing him. They realize their connection may be deeper than they originally believed.

  Ruana Ambrose was the very epitome of chaos. She may not have powers, but that didn't mean she didn't know how to cause trouble wherever she went. As a powerful warlock's Familiar - something that was considered to be a myth - it wasn't uncommon for people to hate her very existence. Not only that, but she was a Raven, a species that was outlawed in the kingdom of Valoria due to being spies. While all ravens could shift, there was one thing she couldn't do. She had no powers. And that would be her downfall.

  Amroy Damaris was one of the most powerful warlocks the Continent had ever seen. He was ruthless, and coldhearted, until he was around those he loved. With a raven for a Familiar, it's the perfect chance to spy on the Royals and stay two steps ahead. But sometimes, she was much more than he bargained for. She was cunning, charming, witty. Dangerous. A lethal combination. He shouldn't have felt the way he did, but he couldn't resist her. He was drawn to her. She would be his downfall.

  But after multiple attempts against Ruana's life, they realize there's a traitor amongst their midst. And soon, they are in a race against time to figure out who is attacking her, and most importantly, why. Love and loyalty are put to the test as they work to figure out who has put out this hit on Ruana and stop them before they finally succeed.

"What are you doing?"  She asked breathlessly as she placed her hands on the hard surface of his chest.

"I don't want you to run this time."  He responded. She could feel the deep rumble of his voice through his chest as she slid her hands down an inch over his pectoral muscles. It was an involuntary move but as she felt his chest flex beneath her touch, she couldn't help but feel proud that she caused a reaction in him.

His breath fanned over her lips and subconsciously her tongue darted out to wet them. "You don't want me to run?" Juliet asked as she regained her footing and he slid his hands up to her rib cage slowly.

"No." His voice was hard and firm. "No running."

"No running from what?" She knew what he was saying but she wanted him to do something about it. It was a burning need racing through her body. Her eyes closed as the tip of his nose brushed against hers.

"Me." At that moment her world stopped and she refused to wait a second longer. She eagerly pressed forward to grab his lips with her own. They were soft and warm but she only had a moment to dwell on that fact before he kissed her back with a heavy passion. One of his hands left her side to weave its way into her hair, pulling her impossibly closer.

A Tangled Courtship

EVERYTHING IS A FIRST DRAFT

Princess Anne has gone her whole life thinking she is due to be the first queen to rule Canlyra without a king in her way, until her parents announce she is suddenly set to marry the unnervingly attractive and charming Prince of Otren, Christopher.
Prince Christopher and Anne quickly devise a plan, "royally fail as a couple so much, that even a blind person could see they would never work as King and Queen".
The betrothed couple must walk a fine line of convincing the royal court and their parents they are not right for each other and being a royal couple for the people, to not instil fear for their nation's future leaders and give the rebellion brewing amongst the seven lands, fuel to their fire that is a threat to the monarchy.
With royal dates specifically designed to make Princess Anne and Prince Christopher fall in love, expensive ball gowns at every life event no matter how small, engagement parties, wedding plans for a ceremony destined to fail, and a royal ball. "A Tangled Courtship" is a riveting tale that shows just how much two people can have in common when their freedom depends on them working together to destroy any chance of them being a couple.

Set in a dystopian future where humans are forced to return to their Victorian Era ways to stop carbon emissions from rising and all the technological advancements made in the past are now drowned in seawater.

CONFESSIONS

Dev murmured 'Happy Birthday Chandni' as he fed me a small piece of cake.

Wait!
He never called me Chandni and why was he sounding so husky all of a sudden?

Stop it!
As usual, I was imagining things.

I shook my head as I sliced a piece of cake with cherry and tried to feed him. But the icing was soft, and the cake began to slip away from my fingers.

Dev grabbed my hand...

(Oh my! I will remember this day forever!)

...closed his mouth around the cake and my fingers!

... and a hot rush which started somewhere in my core began to spread inside with lightning speed and I felt my cheeks burn.

His mouth was so warm and his lips, they were everything I imagined them to be, and more.

My lips parted as I watched him close his eyes and lick my fingers. Was the cake so good?

Damn it!

Why couldn't he look at me when I was looking at him so desperately, ready to confess my love that I had buried for five long years?

*****
Dev was Chandni's best friend once,  but they hardly shared a happy moment now a days, even though they met frequently. As next door neighbours.

He had become a hot Pilot and she was leaving for Australia in a week's time to do her Master's in IT.
No point in confessing her love for him now,  right?

Most of the romance novels end at an alter - but Lillian's story starts at one.

Being married to the millionaire James Clark was not something Lillian Vince signed up for when she decided to visit her parents one afternoon, right after her college classes ended.

Yet, life had been waiting to spring this surprise on her.

She could have said no, but her parents' tears were all she considered before agreeing, despite her brain screaming a big no.

James is anything but an ideal husband. He left the responsibility of finding a way to end the engagement before it even happened on her. But, despite every effort, she walks down the aisle.

The problem? There's no agreement that says they can break their marriage off. It's a lifetime deal.

Being trapped into this marriage, follow Lillian's story towards emancipation.

ONCE IS A CHARM

COMPLETED - Ezra Miller is the charming ice hockey goalie of every girl's dreams, Sophia Olson a prima ballerina with a feisty mouth and the most flirty spirit. It's no surprise that when these two meet at a bar, sparks fly. It's a simple agreement: Only once giving in to the temptation and then they'd go back to being perfect strangers... But life was never simple for the both of them, so why would this be any different.

He's the arrogant nightmare she wishes to forget, and she's the girl that makes him break too many promises. They are forced to face each other, their heartbreaking past and life-changing secrets, but once they cross the line and give in to what they truly need, there's no way back.

Two different people, who have more in common than they ever thought. Call it a coincidence, or bad luck, but we all know it's much more than that.

🦋

Once is a Charm is a spin-off from my second book Moondust. It can be read as a complete stand-alone. You don't have to have read Moondust to get this one.  However, if you have started Moondust haven't read the last chapter yet I recommend to do so because you're gonna be confused because of a plot twist near the end of the book that changed everything. The story starts a month or two after the end in Moondust.


Because Of You ✔

❝ I don't have time to waste thinking about a boy who will only destroy my future,❞ I say getting closer to him with every word, maybe a little too close.

I feel his breath fanning my face. He licks his lip as a sneaky smirk slips onto them, his greenish-gray eyes shift between my lips and eyes, making my traitorous breath hitch.

❝ You saying you think about me, Torres? ❞

Now heading off to UCLA on a full-ride with her best friend, she's finally getting the chance to get a strong education and become a successful doctor.

But every perfect plan has bumps in the road, and this one just happens to be a beautiful one.

Aiden Grey lives life like he's dying. He parties, drinks, smokes, burns through his money, and sleeps around with every girl at UCLA. He isn't attracting the ladies by being a brooding bad boy, but by being so carefree you feel your problems slip away when you're with him.

Too bad Mariana can't afford for her problems to slip away.

His Little One✔

"I think you've already starved me enough, Amia, just one taste. I promise I won't bite." Marcello implored, his hands slipping gently between my thighs whilst his thumb slowly caressed my skin.

Amia embodied everything Marcello Ortega, a violent and dangerous mafia leader, loathed. She was his cock's itch, and the only way to get rid of it was to either destroy her or pin her against his bed, relieving his impediment.

Amia was returning home from work late one night when she came across a critically injured man on the street and, being the kindhearted and unselfish girl she is, decided to assist. She had no idea that the man she had assisted was the vicious and callous underground Mafia leader, and she would soon find herself entangled in sweet yet deadly illusions.

Kidnapped to love

The cool night air stung her cheeks as she stumbled through the deserted alley, her heart racing with panic. The echoes of her footsteps bounced off the walls, but no matter how fast she ran, the shadows behind her seemed to close in.

"Keep running, doll" a low, sinister voice called out from the darkness, sending a shiver down her spine. "You can't escape me."

She halted, her breath ragged, fear rooting her in place. Her mind screamed at her to keep going, but her legs wouldn't move. And then she saw him-emerging from the shadows, his tall frame dominating the space, his cold eyes locked onto hers.

"W-Why are you doing this?" she stammered, backing away slowly, her body trembling.

His lips curved into a dark, amused smile. "Because you're mine, doll" His voice was calm, terrifyingly so. "And no one takes what belongs to me."

Crystal is a 20-year-old, breathtakingly beautiful college student with a bright future ahead of her. Innocent, determined, and full of life, she never expected her world to be torn apart by a man like Dimitri.

Amara Milano. The powerful and lethal.
Tristan Harper. The heartless and deadly.

Together, the two would be a force to reckon with.
Unstoppable. Untouchable. Unbeatable.
But hate had other plans.

...

Amara:
They say that revenge is an act of passion and vengeance of justice.
With enough money, time and vengeance, anybody could be powerful and in this corrupted empire of New York, I was lethal.
I spent my entire life seeking justice for everything that was taken from me and my morality quickly faded to gray.

Despite that, nothing could have prepared me for a man as heartless as Tristan Steel Harper.
But I never lost inside or outside a courtroom and I'd win this too, even if I had to fight for my life.

What I never expected was the fire ignited between us and the twisted lies spun in this game. Because this fire could burn everything.

Tristan:
The need for ruthless control is insatiable and only someone heartless could control this corrupted empire.
I was a man who relied on violence, revenge, and brutality to win every battle inside and outside the courtroom.
I spent years trying to avenge what I lost and my morals quickly bled into the darkest shades of gray where weapons became my specialty.

But I was unprepared for the lethal weapon that was Amara Ruby Milano and I gravely underestimated her.
Nothing could stop me from taking my revenge on those who wronged me, even if the person standing in my way was her.

Nobody warned me about her dirty little games and I never expected to fall into her trap.
The one thing I knew was that her life always belonged to me and if killing Amara Milano was what it would take, then I would shatter her.

To Love and To Live

A story of buried pain, unexpected bonds, and the kind of love that heals in silence.

Arian never asked for a legacy soaked in secrets. He never wanted to inherit a business built on pain, nor be dragged back into the shadows of a father who shattered her heart. Living with a heart disease, every day is a tightrope walk-and now, his life is twisting faster than he can catch his breath.

Between hospital visits, a mother who fled without a warning, and the weight of everything she tries so hard to carry alone, Aen meets Arian-the mysterious guy with his own buried demons. He shows up when she least expects it, offering laughter and joy, but she can't let herself fall. Not again. Not now.

What if healing doesn't come from escape-but from connection?

Things Money Can't Buy

Anna accidentally caught the attention of an attractive billionaire: the CEO of the company that she had just started working for after graduating college. She was just trying to make it through work every day, but he seemed adamant about finding ways to distract her from her work. Jason Bennett was strong, confident, and powerful, so he wasn't used to people saying no to him and his money--and she wasn't about to make his life too easy. She had a tough childhood, so being independent was ingrained in her from a young age. When some family issues arise, maybe the cocky billionaire is exactly what she needed to take some of the burden off of her shoulders for once in her life... even if she doesn't want the help.


Thorn (Werewolf) ✔

She collapses down in front of me and runs her hands along my shoulders and down my arms. I close my eyes as she lifts my shirt over my head.

"I can hear your heart racing," she whispers.

I roll my head back as her lips press into my throat. I'm becoming so hot that it feels like I'm in transition. I run my hands beneath her shirt and up her back, pushing her closer into my throat.

"Any requests?" she says.

"Be gentle with me."

"Really?"

I smile before I grip the ends of her shirt and I tear it in half, all the way up her spine and all the way down the middle of her torso. It makes her gasp. "No," I say.
------------

Since meeting her mysterious saviour deep in the woods, ten things started to become clear.

1)	Irresistible British men didn't just exist across the world.
2)	Survival was a lot more complicated than just looking for water.
3)	They were bonded together in a way that didn't make sense.
4)	Her life, which was filled with so much human suffering, finally had some faint glimmer of hope.
5)	She should have known that humans don't sleep walk every damn night.
6)	The man ate animals raw and kept a mysterious, giant wolf as a pet.
7)	Hunters will never stop looking for her.
8)	She doesn't care.
9)	Their desires burn for each other and it's out of their control.
10)	Werewolves are real.

"Y-you," she stuttered, staring at the handsome man sitting on the sleek black throne, "you're..."

  He rolled his eyes, waving his hand impatiently and said, "Hades. Come on, say it with me. Ha-des."

  "Hades," Ariel breathed out, still not believing the sight before her. Every picture she had seen of the gods had not depicted Hades' beauty. The god sitting before her was not a crusty old man with a white beard; no, he was a Calvin Klein model.

  "Yes," Hades clasped his hands together and grimaced, "the God of Death and riches; that's me." Ariel nodded, still refusing to believe but knowing she had to and Hades' grimace turned even bitter, "And you, darling, will be staying with me for quite some time."

"Death would be too good for you," the evil glint in his crimson orbs startles me, not expecting this to be his reaction, "you've never been owned? You've never lived a day in your life by the code? Let's see how much I can torture you and make you beg for your death you stubborn ass bitch."

No...

"K-Kill me," I lift my right hand, the weakness in my punch to his face amuses him. I'm beyond beaten, my blood continuing to trickle from my wounds. In my past experiences, it should slow within the next few minutes...it always does. "I-I wi-will not b-be owned!"

The vampire's eyes revert to those haunting malachite orbs, reaching into his pocket with his freehand and revealing a tranquilizer.

"No," he sneered, "you want to die having fought as hard as you could. You'll recover and then I'll break you all over again, if you don't follow the code of conduct, you'll be severely punished. You'll beg for your death as a sniffling coward, not as someone who fought for their life."

To Wish is to Sin

Amara has lived her whole life under the shadow of the mafia, raised to be the perfect heir to her father's ruthless empire. Trained from a young age, she learned the deadly skills needed to survive in a world built on power, loyalty, and secrecy. No one outside her father's mafia knows who she truly is, and that's the way it's always been.

Lucien, the man who trained her and works by her side, has always been a constant in her life-a skilled, reliable partner who makes every mission possible. Their relationship is built on professionalism, but there's always been something else simmering beneath the surface. It's playful, dangerous, and forbidden-nothing more, nothing less. At least, that's what Amara tells herself.

But when Harry Styles, a member of a rival mafia, enters the picture, everything changes. He's not just another threat to the family business-he's a force she can't ignore. Charismatic, calculating, and dangerously charming, Harry draws Amara into a game where the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. Torn between her loyalty to her father, the life she's been raised for, and the magnetic pull Harry has on her, Amara is faced with a choice that could unravel everything she's worked for.

As the tension between the mafia families escalates, Amara's world is forced to collide with Harry's. But when a connection that was never meant to happen turns into something far more dangerous, Amara finds herself questioning everything-her loyalty, her family, and the one man who could destroy it all.


Maybe Happily Ever After✔

I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "Does that usually work for you? The cute little remarks and that nice smile." I teased.

He gave me a sheepish look of surprise. "Most girls would be flattered at my attempt to flirt with them."

I scoffed and shook my head. "Well, as a member of the "most girls" community, I can say that I am not."

"Wow. That's a bit harsh." He gave me a smug look and crossed his arms.

"Sorry," I shrugged. "I'm immune to boy charms. In fact, I think I'm allergic."

"Well, don't think so highly of yourself. Just because you have cute dimples and a pretty face, doesn't mean I find you attractive."

------------------------------

Maya Cameron is a senior at Ohio State University and this is the year where you need to get your life together before you get pushed out into the real world. Writing is the only thing that keeps her sane after all of the trauma she's been though.

With her mom and dad's unfortunate death, she's been left under the care of her evil step-aunt and forced to stay with her annoying step-cousin. As if college isn't stressful enough.

And then there's this other guy in her life. They met online by accident and have been talking for months but she's not brave enough to make it something real.

Will Ashby is the all-around superstar on campus. He's practically royalty because he's the running back on the Ohio State Football team: one of the best college football teams in America. Will is the person guys want to be and guy girls want to be with. But in actuality, he'd rather blend in with the background noise. His only focus has been football and finishing his degree. That was until he met this girl. He doesn't even know her name or what she looks like, but she's the girl he'd want to be real with.

Because of circumstances, Will needs an English tutor or he won't be able to play. And much to her dismay, Maya is the perfect person for the job.
