Keira Collins

Betrayed By Husband, Stolen By Brother In Law

Melanie Collins was the perfect wife—caring, strong, and dependable. For the last few years, she had managed her husband’s messy family, and business alone while waiting for her husband to return from studying abroad. But when he finally came back, Melanie’s world fell apart—he wasn’t alone. Along with him was his 'best' friend. Broken and confused about the change in her husband, Melanie didn’t know where to turn. And then she stumbled into another cold reality. Everything she had believed was a lie. Seething with anger and humiliation, as she tried to come to terms with the betrayal, an unexpected person steps into the picture, intent on seducing her and conquering her. The only problem? The man was her ex brother in law... And against her better judgment, she is attracted to this bad boy... But as Melanie tried to make sense of the changes, she discovered there was more going on than she ever imagined. Had both brothers loved really fallen in love with her? Or was she just a pawn in a bigger game? excerpt Since he had already been leaning against the table, he simply slid onto it, and with one swift motion, he hooked his boot around the leg of her chair and pulled it—pulled her—closer.The sudden movement made her jolt slightly, and when she looked up or rather when she looked ahead, she found herself staring directly at the zipper of his jeans... She looked up then and met his gaze. He caught her chin," Would you like to check if I am only pretending, sweet melon?"Melanie stiffened. And then pushed back her chair suddenly, so that Adam almost lost his balance, as she stood up. Before he could balance himself, she placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingers brushing against his neck.  Adam stiffened, his eyes glittering as he waited to see what she would do next. And she, of course surprised him as her other hand, slowly settled on the inside of his thigh. And then, the hand on his shoulder started to move. Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths… She smiled slowly then. "Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."

Pengantin Setan

*Novel Fantasi Sejarah Slow Burn* Elise hendak berganti pakaian dengan gaun yang tergeletak di pojok tempat tidurnya ketika ia mendengar ketukan ringan dari pintunya. Penasaran, ia memutar gagang pintu hanya untuk mendapati seorang pria tinggi menjulang di hadapannya. “Tuan Ian!” Serunya. Ian tersenyum dengan tatapan nakal yang selalu dia gunakan. Matanya yang berwarna krimson melintas sejenak di atas ruangannya dan melihat gaun hitam di atas tempat tidurnya lalu memindahkan pandangannya ke wanita di hadapannya. Ia maju selangkah dan bertanya, "Darimana kamu mendapatkan gaun itu?" “Tuan Harland yang memberikannya padaku.” Jawab Elise dan merentangkan lehernya untuk melihat alis Ian yang terlipat dalam keanggunannya. “Tahukah kamu mengapa seorang pria ingin memberi wanita sebuah gaun?” Ia memberikan teka-teki yang selalu harus dipikirkan dua kali sebelum dijawab. Namun kali ini, ia tidak menemukan jawaban dan malah menggelengkan kepala. “Saya tidak tahu.” Senyumannya bertambah memikat seolah sesuatu tergerak di dalam dari mata merah menyala yang ia miliki. Ia perlahan menggeser tangannya melewati kerah gaunnya, mengirimkan rasa dingin yang membuatnya terperanjat sesaat karena suhu yang beku. Setelah membuka dua kancing pertama di kerahnya, ia menundukkan kepalanya, berbisik ke telinganya, “Karena mereka ingin menjadi orang yang melepas pakaian tersebut.” Ia berhenti dan mencium lehernya, mengubah kulit pucat menjadi merah sebelum menarik gerakannya untuk memperbaiki tatapannya pada Elise dan menjawab dengan santai. “Sayangnya, kamu tidak bisa memakai gaun itu di sana dengan ini.” Ia tertawa kecil dan menyerahkan sebuah kotak ke tangan Elise. “Dan kabar baiknya adalah saya telah menyiapkan sebuah gaun untukmu.” Elise adalah gadis kecil terkutuk yang bisa melihat hantu. Keluarganya membencinya dan melemparnya dari satu keluarga angkat ke keluarga angkat lain. Namun, kesialan tidak berjalan sendirian. Ketika ia dibesarkan oleh bibinya, ia dijual sebagai budak. Ketika ia mengira bahwa ia tidak akan menjadi apa-apa selain korban bagi penyihir, ia diselamatkan oleh seorang pria yang identitasnya jauh berbeda dari makhluk mitos biasa. *** Buku ini ASLI dan bukan Terjemahan Bergabunglah dengan diskord Penulis: https://discord.gg/YPKueb4

Reign of the Time Gap Queen

Time Gap Queen and the Alpha Apex Predators series will continue in this Novel. Time is at the brink of running out for Kai to find a safe place to hide Victoria from the Vampire Covenant as other threats begin to rise. Vampires from other dimensional worlds begin to lurk on Earth as they await the go-ahead to kill Victoria. Worry strikes Kai's mind and heart because he doesn't know if she'll get her votes, but even if she does, it's inevitable that vampires from every species will strike to kill his mate. With time slipping away, he and his friends also keep trying to search for Grandpa Vlad, the Collin Coven Headmaster because he needs his help to prepare for a rumored Vampiric World War Three to transpire. Not to mention, it's time they all faced their biggest rivals who want to steal Victoria and Kai's sister-in-law Zoey to make their Coven the strongest. Can Kai take on these threats from other Alpha vampires that either want his mate for themselves or wish to kill her? Will Kai be able to transform Victoria into her true form as a vampiress or will her fate to live be demised too soon? While Kai and his friends are doing what it takes to ensure his pregnant mate survives long enough to turn her on the Brightest Blue Moon, Victoria still struggles to keep her time-gap gift under control. As the Brightest Blue Moon nears, her psychic time-gap gift to mentally travel to the past keeps getting stronger. At the same time, she's trying to prepare herself for motherhood to care for her immortal babies. Nothing gets any easier when she has countless maniac vampires and their Alphas trying to kill her. In her futile attempt to keep herself and her unborn vamp babies protected against these intelligent vampires, she learns quickly that it's nearly impossible. As usual, she fights for her survival. At the same time, she's drawn closer to Kai because of the blue moon, but a part of her heart is still snared by her first lover. Between their ups and downs as a fated couple, they always find a way to balance each other. The first novel called: "Time Gap Queen and the Alpha Apex Predators" is still under editing and needs to be rewritten to fix some flaws I made with the FL, but it is completed. "DO NOT" let those flaws reflect on this novel because it will take time to fix them. This is my first time writing a series like this, so it's been a learning experience for me with writing a Fl. The story isn't all romance. This storyline runs deeper than that, and the vampires aren't weak. Also, it's only labeled as historical because the FL can mentally travel to past events in ancient times. This second Novel will be dark, gory, murderous, bloody, and steamy hot like the first one. You've been warned. Further warnings will be added as needed in certain chapters. Recaps will be added to grasp certain events and the vampires' way of life. Overall, the story will take a whole new direction, so you can read it as a standalone if you don't wish to read it the first novel. I will leave reference chapters from the first novel for you to read if you want to glance at it. Enjoy the action and suspense with these bloodthirsty vampires and vampiresses.
