"I don't need tomorrow, all I want from you, right now, is tonight." ******************************************************************************************* Trapped in a contract with no exit, an agreement made without her consent. Erin will learn that there is more to the end of her story, more than the life her father sold her into too, and it is going to be one HELL of a fight to come out on top.

Reyna the Unyielding was once a legendary warrior, feared on the battlefield and respected across the land. But after hanging up her sword to raise her newborn, she thought her days of heroism were over... until an ancient prophecy declares that her son is destined to defeat the dark sorcerer, Malekar the Malevolent. While the kingdom panics, and old heroes refuse to come out of retirement, Reyna decides she can't wait for fate to sort itself out. With her baby strapped to her back, Reyna assembles an unlikely team--a nervous young sorcerer, an ancient druid with questionable memory, and a monk who swore never to kill again--to stop Malekar before her baby even learns to walk.

When a powerful witch hunts the demons responsible for her parents' murder, she finds herself face-to-face with one of the very creatures she despises. But this demon is unlike any other. Dangerous, mysterious, and irresistibly charming, he offers her something no one else can-answers about her parents' death and the secrets of the dark forces that haunt her.

Elemental Heir | ✔️ by xKJFERGUSONx

(Complete) **A MATURE FANTASY** Book #1 in the Elemental Heir Series. Now published and available in PAPERBACK and KINDLE on AMAZON!! 🤍 "Your ready wit never fails to surprise and delight me, Brenya." He murmured, his lips only inches from my own. I blinked, my lips parting, as his heady scent encircled me. He licked his lower lip, running his teeth over it as his electric blue eyes burned into mine. The heat of his bare chest seeped through my thin cotton shirt, thawing my icy irritation. "Even when you're being cross." He added in a low voice. He leaned closer, before I could respond, and ran his teeth along my jaw. I suppressed a moan. "I wouldn't be cross if you weren't so keen on irritating me." I said, unable to hide the smile in my voice. I felt his answering smile against my neck. "How can I make it up to you?" He whispered, planting gentle kisses up and down the column of my throat. He moved to the other side of my neck, flicking his tongue once against the mating mark near my shoulder. My hands slid up his abdomen, exploring the dips and hard lines of his muscles. Heat uncurled deep in my belly, spreading lower, and lower, until I felt my panties dampen. He growled into my ear, sending shivers down my entire body. *~*~*~*~*~* ~#1 in ROMANCE 9/13/18~ ~#1 in ACTION-ADVENTURE 12/05/18 and 4/25/19~ ~#1 in ACTION-ROMANCE 1/16/19~ ~#1 in DRAGONS 6/9/19~ ~#1 in FAIRIES 7/20/19~ *~*~*~*~*~* ⚠️!!

Lenora's Grimoire by Falling-Rivers

Cherish thought she'd escaped her past years ago--settled down in some forgotten, sleepy town, gotten a steady job at the local library, and subtly hidden the witchcraft books donated from the local covens from the public. Cherish Harmond was wrong. Her cedar tree had screamed at her before dying on her front lawn that morning. Cherish hadn't even realized trees could scream. Faced with the desperate plea for help from a stranger, the past she thought she had successfully outrun has returned, and she must come to terms with it, to use her powers for good--because if she doesn't, she might unleash a curse onto her sleepy, normal hometown forever. **Submission for ONC 2021 ***Please note, this is also available on Amazon via ebook and paperback***

My Fucked Up Fairytale by pinenutters

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: Cyra is pulled into a foreign world where humans are rarities while vampires, elves, werewolves, witches, and more strange creatures are the norm. That's the least of her worries though. Now the bride of one of the most powerful vampires in all of the kingdom, she is faced with two choices. One: give in and accept her doomed future with a husband who detests humans, or two: successfully kill him before he is crowned King of Bestias. WARNING: This story contains scenes involving sexual assault/harassment. The chapters containing these potentially triggering subjects all have warnings at the start of them!

Forgotten Embers | ONC2025 by Lukinglass

A kingdom doomed to burn. A beast fated to rise. A love that should have changed everything. The curse that will never forget. Once every quarter year, on the same fateful night, the kingdom is reduced to ash. The people cower, the king grieves, and when the sun rises, the world is restored; perfect, untouched, and utterly unaware of the devastation that came before. No one remembers the ruin. No one questions the cycle. This time, though, something is changing. Fragments of forgotten lives claw at the edges of her mind. The king hesitates when he should be certain. Old wounds ache with memories that shouldn't exist. And for the first time in centuries, she has a choice: let the curse claim them once more, or break the cycle; no matter the cost. But to do that, they must remember. And if they do, she might lose him all over again. Because the past isn't done with them. And this time, when the flames rise, there may be no reset... only reckoning. Written for the open novella contest 2025. Prompt 129 : The ink of our souls binds us beyond the pages of time.
