Duty. Desire. 

Two opposing parts that Kiana, Ace, and Blade are all too familiar with. They've gambled with risk and been burned by love, and even being cautious has ended in heartbreak.

Kiana is thriving at school, her relationship with Ace is going strong, and she and Blade have figured out a healthy balance in their friendship and bond. But a new opportunity might take her away from the life she's built and everyone she loves--not to mention fracturing the peace they had finally found. 

With Blade learning how to live independently and love selflessly with his lingering feelings for Kiana, and Ace's work as leader of the vampires an ever-present dark cloud hanging over all their heads, their relationships and friendships will be tested like never before.

The three of them will have to decide if a chance at their own bright futures is worth losing all they hold dear, or if they'd see it all burn to keep what survives.

Two strangers. One deadly night. A love that transcends death. She never expected to die. The searing pain of a knife plunging into her stomach was the last thing she felt before everything went dark. But in those final moments, she locked eyes with him-a man she didn't know, lying beside her in the same blood-soaked fate, his gaze meeting hers. There was something undeniable in his eyes-was it crazy to fall in love when you're dying? She believed, in that fleeting instant, he was there to save her. But was he? Reincarnated and inexplicably drawn to him once again, Pearl finds herself caught in a web of dangerous desire and dark secrets. Now a successful UI/UX designer in a fast-paced tech world, she has no idea why Kian Smith-a ruthless billionaire CEO of a cybersecurity empire-feels like her destiny. As their worlds collide, the attraction between them is electric, fated, yet forbidden. But Kian has a past-one he refuses to speak of. And the more Pearl uncovers, the more she realizes their connection runs far deeper than she ever imagined. Flashbacks of a shared death, blood, betrayal, and a love that should've never been torment her, making her question everything. Is their bond truly written in the stars? Or is someone playing a deadly game of fate? In a world of power, secrets, and lies, love might just be the most dangerous game of all. And discovering the truth could cost them everything. ~~~~~ Let me tell you one thing, when these two finally let loose, it's going to be a spicy mess. The tension's wild, the chemistry's off the charts, and when they finally collide? It's going to be hotter than your wildest daydreams.

My mate. So weak. So pathetic. I have a weak and pathetic mate. I thought as I looked at her in disgust and displeasure. Just like me when I was human. She is human! I don't want a mate. I don't want a weak and pathetic mate! She can't fix me! She's nothing! Screw this! My thoughts were going berserk with the rushing flashes of my past. I tucked my hand through my hair roughly in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the replay of those horrible evocations. I laid her on the small grass patch at the side of the deserted road. She was half-conscious, so possibly she could hear me... "Hey!" I said, jerking her pale face gently. Blood was covering half of her face but she was still looking beautiful in the moonlight. The sparks weren't going unnoticed and I reminded myself that it was just the mate-bond. I was determined in my decision and there was no way I was going to change it. The girl opened her eyes slightly and with that, I did what I thought was right at that time. "I, Kane Wilson, reject you as my mate!" I said, with all the strength I could have mustered in my miserable state of emotions and with that, I left her there, feeling extreme pain in my heart. But I pushed that pain aside and ran from there in my ultimate inhuman speed. Away from her! Still feeling the Rejection Pain. *~*~*~*~*~*~* He rejected her when she didn't even know what he meant for her. And after nine years, when he met her again, he found himself craving for her, seeking her attention, her love. He had fallen for her... with no return. But would she accept him now?! Student life#1 (2/09/2018) Crave#1 (3/2/2019) Started on: August 5, 2018 Finished on: September 20, 2018 !!!

Valora Anton is a trained, lethal assassin, and she's running for her life. No one-no one-had ever come close to catching her. But when the net finally closes, she's transferred to an island prison house in the Atlantic, a place known for its brutality. She's certain this is where her journey ends-until she realizes she's wrong. Phoenix Knight is the iron-fisted warden of Atlanta Prisonhouse, feared by every woman under his control. Ruthless, unforgiving, and unbending, he rules with an absolute hand, tormenting misbehaved prisoners without a second thought. His pleasure comes from their suffering, from breaking them, bending them to his will. But when Valora enters his domain, everything shifts. There's something about her-something sharp, dangerous, poisonous-that draws him in. On one hand, he's repulsed by her icy demeanor, her unyielding nature. On the other, he's irresistibly allured by her presence, by the fire that simmers beneath her calm exterior. For the first time in years, Phoenix is out of control. And he hates it. Valora is no ordinary prisoner, and Phoenix is no typical captor. Their dynamic is a volatile cocktail of aggression, manipulation, and raw tension. Each encounter between them ignites a new spark, a dangerous push-pull of venomous desire that neither of them can resist. They are two forces of destruction, locked in a dance that threatens to undo everything they've ever believed in. The real question is: How far will they go to destroy each other? And in the end, who will be left standing, and at what cost? [Second Book of the V-Series] A Standalone Novel Complete.

27 parts Complete Mature

TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: When college student Cyra finds her life falling apart after a brutal breakup, she wishes for an escape-only to awaken in a realm filled with sword-wielding vampires, deadly elves, and more fantastical creatures. Unfortunately for Cyra, she's been chosen to marry a powerful vampire prince... and kill him. Trapped between survival and a dagger with a destiny, she must navigate a world where fairytales come soaked in blood, sarcasm, and forbidden attraction.
