Chapter 1

 

 

The ugly concrete building loomed before us, making my body itch with unease. I gritted my teeth and tried to mentally prepare for the long flight ahead. There was a reason faeries hated airplanes. Metal had an unfortunate way of draining our energy.

“You didn’t have to walk me in,” I said to Talisen, my brother’s best friend and the guy who’d just spent five hours transporting me from Eureka to the Sacramento airport. “I would’ve been perfectly fine if you’d dropped me off at departures.”

“Are you kidding?” Talisen draped a casual arm over my shoulders and made a show of stretching his legs. “One more minute in the truck and my limbs would’ve seized up.”

I eyed his lanky but muscular body. Tall, broad-shouldered, and tan from his long days of working outdoors in my mother’s nursery. He’d dressed nicer than usual today. Gone were his faded blue jeans, scuffed work boots, and pop-culture T-shirt, replaced by olive khakis, a short-sleeved, button-down shirt, and black canvas shoes. “I think you could’ve survived until you hooked up with your lunch date.”

He pulled the glass door open for me. “Date?” ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Chapter Nineteen

The kitchen staff began serving the new recruits. One young familiar looking man stood up after being served.

“Sir, if it’s no trouble, I believe I could complete that paperwork you mentioned while I eat. I’m not that tired.”

Several more added their own comments on the subject. Now that they were here, they were eager to get things started. Raphael had chosen wisely–this group of young men appeared to be the best recruits he’s seen in a long time. He nodded, grabbed the forms from the upstairs office. Just as he approached the first table to pass them out one of the men stood and offered to do that for him.

He leaned back against the wall and watched as the men tended to eat with one hand and write with the other. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

24B BC For as long as she can remember, Samiya has walked in darkness. She has never understood the reason behind her mother’s having given her away at such a young age. All she ever wanted was the woman’s love, to know that she meant something to her, once and for all. Yet that hope died the moment her mother left her in the hands of cult intent on wreaking havoc on the world itself.

Raised to do the cult’s bidding, Samiya has never questioned her destiny. She is evil, after all, a certainty that becomes clear when the Pharoah orders her to partake of a prophecy surrounding Osiris and several of the other gods. While she’s not sure as to whether she can truly fulfill the task she’s been given, she knows she needs to do everything possible in the hopes of surviving to see another day.

As the minutes go by, and the days begin to blend into one another, Samiya soon realizes that she’s neck deep in the heart of a conspiracy she never truly knew existed. Warring factions are determined to get their hands on Osiris’ legacy. One side wants it for the greater good, and the other is intent on cloaking the world in eternal darkness. Unsure as to which side she should be on, she does the only thing she can do – survive. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

TRF ButtonEver since she met Darian Alexander, Natasha Hemingway’s life has been anything from normal. Where once she swore that she’d wanted nothing do with all things supernatural, she’s now had a profound change of mind. Immersed in a world she never could have imagined being a part of, she’s content with the protection and affection that Darian and his lover, Xavier, lavish on her. Her wish is their every desire, and they’d do anything to make her happy. Unfortunately, everything isn’t as good as it can be.

Natasha still feels the loss of her beloved best friend, Annette. She knows there’s nothing she can do to bring her back, yet she can’t help but to wish that things were different. Deep inside, she understands that the circumstances that brought about her friend’s demise was not of her doing. Yet she can’t help but to blame herself, none-the-less. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

RC BC A tooth’s life is truly ordinary, and quite uneventful. The darkness that surrounds it is something it knows intimately. Rarely, will it see the light of day. Though it can hope to have its world turn out differently.

In Root Canal, we join a tooth whom has lived its entire life surrounded by that darkness. Its life is the same, day in and day out. It shares space with others of its kind, along with a warm pink tongue, and a generous cheek to keep it cozy. In its mind, its living the high life. Yet everything changes when its beloved owner changes things up, and introduces it to a whole new environment.

Acidic drinks, sugary sweets, and salty foods – there’s a myriad of items that can take away from a tooth’s life. The ensuing cavities are a nightmare, and the pain that follows can be never-ending. A tooth can only hope that the person taking care of it will be more lenient. That he or she will wisen up, and make its life better. Sometimes, for some, unfortunately, that is a possibility that may never happen. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

TBATB ButtonDiana Highwood’s life and choices have been made ahead of time for her. She’s destined to marry someone who can provide her with everything she needs, regardless of her desires. It doesn’t matter that her mind and her heart are set on someone she knows she can’t have. Her mother has decreed that only a wealthy, respectable man can land her hand in marriage, and the woman refuses to see reason.

Diana knows that following her mother’s wishes will provide her with the stability and respect she’s come to know ever since she was a child. She’s done what her mother has requested, time and again. It’s been ingrained from early age that she must please her parents at every turn. Their wishes are her command, and as a well-bred woman, she must do everything they say. Sadly, she cannot the deny the stirrings of own her heart. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

TBATB Button

How could she help staring? The man had wrists as thick as her ankle.

As always, he wore his sleeves rolled to the elbow, exposing forearms roped with muscle. He pumped the bellows, commanding the flames to dance.

Broad shoulders stretched his homespun shirt, and a leather apron hung low on his hips. As he removed the glowing bit of metal from the fire and placed it on his anvil, his open collar gaped.

Diana averted her gaze—but not fast enough. She caught a moment’s glimpse of pure, superheated virility. Sculpted chest muscles, bronzed skin, dark hair…

“Behave yourself,” he said.

The words startled her breathless. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
