Loyalty Stories

When an Imperial Decree demands that every noble household send their eligible daughters to the palace for the Xuancai (Imperial Selection), the Nangong Marquisate faces a dilemma. To protect their favored daughter from the risks of the inner court, they send Ning Xiang-the ignored, illegitimate daughter born of a lowly maid-alongside her legitimate sister, Nangong Bi. Bi is arrogant, haughty, and convinced she is destined to be the next Empress. Ning Xiang, however, enters the palace with only one goal: to survive long enough to eventually earn her freedom and find her mother. The young Emperor Li Zhao is a man of sharp intellect and deep isolation. Haunted by the fact that he has no heirs, he is surrounded by women who view his lap only as a stepping stone for their families. At the center of the web is Empress Xiao, a woman whose elegance masks a ruthless, calculating mind. She maintains her power by ensuring no consort stays in favor long enough to threaten her position. Beside her are the "Four Consorts," each more insidious than the last, turning the harem into a battlefield where a single wrong word can lead to execution. From the cold chambers of a Cairen to the silk-lined halls of the Huang Guifei (Imperial Noble Consort), Ning Xiang transforms. She sheds her innocence, learning that in the Daming Palace, one must either be the predator or the prey. As she stands one step away from the Empress's throne, she must decide if the power she has gained is worth the soul she has traded for it-and whether she can finally protect the empire from the schemes that threaten to burn it down. "In this garden of peonies, only the one with the sharpest thorns survives the winter."

Three years ago, Freya Whitmore watched Cole Vassallo kill a man. Sirens followed. Chaos followed. And in the space of a heartbeat, the boy she loved decided she'd betrayed him. Cole disappeared, sent away by his father while Freya was left with the memory, the damage, and a truth she never got to say out loud. Now he's back, enrolling at her university before he takes over his family's criminal empire. Freya wants distance. Cole wants control. He acts like she's the enemy, like she's a mistake he can't afford, yet he's everywhere: watching, interfering, stepping in whenever anyone gets too close. Freya despises his world. Cole swears she has no place in it. So why does he keep pulling her into his orbit... and calling it protection? Because people are starting to notice what Cole Vassallo can't hide and when they realize Freya is the one thing that gets a reaction, they don't come for him. They come for her. And Cole has to decide what's stronger: his need for revenge... or his cruel devotion.

Vratika frowned at her reflection, lightly touching her lips. "Shit... I forgot to bring my lipstick," she muttered. Kabir, leaning lazily against the doorframe, raised an eyebrow. "Toh?" She rolled her eyes. "What if it wipes off?" Kabir walked closer, that familiar mischievous smirk appearing on his face. Tilting his head, he said softly- "Lipstick ki quality check karu, jaaneman?" For a second there was silence. Then Vratika smacked his arm. "Shut up, veer!"

[Original] When Bailey's best friend Gwen goes missing, the perfect little town of Haven crumbles and Bailey's uncanny ability to simply 'know' things leads her on a path of self-destruction. Putting her on the outs with friends, family, and even the law, she strives to find Gwen, but the longer she's gone the more Bailey is plagued by torturous nightmares...Nightmares that just happen to predict the future. WARNINGS: Gore, violence, mentions of date rape drugs, cursing, teenage angst/drama, and as you read further there are some very disturbing scenes, particularly in the prologue and after chapter 16, and 27 (off the top of my head-I think)). There may be a few scenes before 16, but the most note worthy are after that chapter. Don't let what happens in chapter 01: Hello World pt. 1 throw you off from the feel of the prologue... I don't jump into the action right away. It takes awhile, but eventually the feeling transitions back to the prologue. I started this story in 2008 and it is still not complete. I have plans to edit while it's incomplete (I'm in the 3rd edit, unfinished now) and then I'll edit it at least three more times once it's finished. Changes are being made now. I'm hoping to complete this by the end of 2016. Cross your fingers! Updates? Will not happen often. I'm sorry I can't give a more concrete time period. I just don't write that way! Thanks for your patience. Please take the time to review and thanks if you do! Thanks to Pixee_Styx for that wonderful cover!

Because sometimes the greatest wars are not fought on the battlefield... but inside the heart. And sometimes people are not the enemies. The borders are.
