Faced with a choice between the fleeting allure of wealth and a life of deeper meaning, she must navigate her path with courage and conviction. Will she choose the ephemeral beauty of riches or embrace a life of purpose and fulfillment?

With sorrow, anger, and the weight of her destiny pressing down on her, Aurelia must summon her strength to reclaim her power and safeguard her legacy, or risk losing everyone and everything she cherishes.

Is it possible to go too far to keep a promise? Tiberius Hamilton hated his father as a boy. He never thought that he would one day yearn for reconciliation with the old man... until, that is, after they separated. Now he is determined to mend the wounds between them by keeping the last promise he ever made to his father, but in order to do so he will have to pay a heavy price -- one that will force him to become part of a dark world of horrors he had never thought possible. Thus begins a journey of death and bloodlust, wherein a young man will have to wrestle between the man he once was and the monster he is now. Cut off from the light of day, plagued by an eternal hunger, and believing he has truly foregone all hope of redemption, Tiberius must come to terms with the damnation he's brought upon himself.

Blossom and Bloom Graceful and Tender - She couldn't believe her ears, or her eyes. Her husband, the man she loves, the father of her unborn baby, was asking for a divorce. "Mason," She stammered, but he held his hand up in the air. "I'll arrange a place for you and our child to stay, I'll send weekly support for the child. Just sign the papers," He urged her and handed her the pen. She took it hesitantly, hoping that this was only a dream, she prayed to wake up. "I love you," She whispered and signed her name on the allotted space. And though she would miss him, she knew better than to fight for a man's love. Somehow, he didn't love her anymore. It hurt her heart, but once a man made up his mind, nothing could make him change his mind. She even knew that much. She placed the pen down and walked to the door.
