Don Alessandro's Obsession

MATURE CONTENT: No rape element or non-consensual sex. Rivalry, death, bloodbath, massacres; in that order - the war between the Italian Mafia and the Russian Mafia was not a smooth sailing. Alessandro Ruffo, who had just taken over from the former Don of the Italian Mafia, finds himself wedged between enemies who hunted for his blood and would do anything to have the Italian mafia empire taken away from him. Regardless, Alessandro was strong enough to take them down and is recorded as the mob boss with the most kills. However, Aless’ strength wavers when a weakness, in the form of an eighteen-year-old autistic girl, walks into his life. Swan Skylar, the younger sister of the man who ran away with his money, becomes Alessandro's newest obsession and his weakness. When his enemies figured this out, Swan's life is put in danger and Aless must do everything in his power to protect her even if it meant accepting defeat at the hands of his enemies ~ “I will–I will serve you in place of what my brother owes you.” Alessandro relaxes into his sitting stance, regarding her in a mesmerizing gaze. “How so?” His gruff tone resounded in his enormous office. “I–I can help you wash the dishes or wash your clothes or clean your shoes or—” She is interrupted by Alessandro suddenly jerking onto his feet and ambling towards her in a polished stance. “Raise your head.” Alessandro's command is calm and relaxing. When she doesn't respond, Alessandro takes her chin in his delicate fingers and tilts it up slowly until she meets his gaze. He stared dreamily at her bright, sparkling blue eyes and whispered gruffly, “What is your name, amore mio?” “Swan.” She responded softly. “Alright, Swan. How about serving me with something different? Take for instance, your body.” WARNING: The female protagonist of this novel is autistic and might display the behavior of an eight-year-old.

DRAGON Queen

A Slave. A King. A Coward. A god. And 6 kingdoms. Arlankis, Kronos, Mrygyan, Summer Isle, the Free Nation and Vilandres. The Great War between men and dragons ended with men triumphing over the scaled, fire breathing beasts and with victory came great greed and cruelty as men became kings and princes and noblemen and women. But centuries have passed since the war and a chasm has been wedged between nobles and common people. Years under the reign of terror brought back slave trades and quest for power. Stubborn, hot-headed and the leader of a small gang of slaves, Mare’s only claim in life is that she has the blood of dragons running in her, a notion that remains to be tested, and as such has been chosen to unseat the cruel king of fantastical Arlankis, and bring a new dawn to her people. She is a hero. A hero without a proven claim. But her attempts at heroism backfires when her plan to assassinate the king goes horribly wrong. She is not the hero she wants to be, rather she becomes the king’s slave, chosen to please him at his every whim, a task she loathes with as much intensity as she loathes the king. Her only regret is that her actions have not just condemned her into sex service for the king but her friends, Llod and Veren have been condemned to the same fate, serving noble families of the kingdom. Yet, her journey in the king’s castle is only beginning when an incident happens to truly prove that she is indeed a dragon lord, able to command one of the few dragons remaining after the Great War. This puts her in a new light and Vallezarii, king of Arlankis makes a decision to marry her so that she will give him dragon heirs. To her surprise, she is not the only one bestowed with such powers. Perci, the king’s heir, has secrets of his own that only Mare knows. He is a dragon lord and a captive of his so-called “father”. Like Mare, he seeks freedom from his duties and seeks to unite the 6 kingdoms again, bringing them once more under the reign of dragons. The is the true prophecy; A hero would arise to unite the kingdoms again bring dragons back into power. Whether that hero is Perci or Made remains to be seen. But there are challenges along the way of their quests. First came love: Even though Mare has become the king’s wife, she and Perci can hardly stay away from each other not even after his marriage to the princess of Mrygyan, a union made to merge the nations as one. The consequences of their illicit affair will cost them their position and most possibly their lives and the lives of those they love. Then came betrayal and terror: Slowly, dragons begin to rise again and the want for power is once again an unquenchable taste and every one wants to rise with the dragons, everyone wants a share of the kingdoms and will stop at nothing – even killing to satisfy their desires as long as they seat at the table of a dragon lord. Then came the mystery: Amidst the quest to bring dragons into power, there are others who seek to keep the dynasty of dragons buried. And this opposition come from no one but the long descendants of dragon lord. And with this confusion comes the mystery… A seventh kingdom. The Dragon Seat.

Metal Puppets

The global war ended two hundred years ago, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Nations fought until resources were almost completely exhausted. By the time a cease-fire was called, the ability to return to the pre-war industrial era was nearly impossible. With the lack of resources, humanity declined to a quasi-medieval society of city states. Now 200 years later "Metalmancers" or those with the ability to control and shape metal have started to appear. With these Metalmancers and their abilities to salvage and possibly operate pre-war technology, forces have started to come into play to vie for control, once again sending this scarred planet into war. Mand and Val are two such Metalmancers who have been living on their own for the past several years. With new forces in play and old enemies on their trail, will they be able to lean on each other to survive this new emerging world? ** It's really hard to fly a dragon made of metal. They could of made a bull, a horse, or really any simple device that could haul a wedge-shaped plow, but someone insisted that they try and build a bloody dragon. That someone now had her hands wrapped around Mand's waist and was having the time of her life. "See, I told you this was a great idea," Val exclaimed. "We'll have that field done in no time!" "You're not the one trying to steer this thing," Mand returned. "Now be a good sister and lower the tail so we can get to work." Mand felt Val shift her weight and suddenly become very still as she began to concentrate. Inside the shell of the dragon, a complex system of gears began to whirr and rotate. The dragon's tail began to curve beneath the belly of the construct, until the wedge-shaped tip curved towards the ground. Mand had her work cut out for her as well. She focused her mind on pumping the dragon's wings to keep aloft. The descended tail made the whole operation twice as taxing as it was before. The tail clicked in place and Mand began their pass towards the field below. "Are you sure this will work?" she questioned her sister. "It's my butt too," Val pouted. "You should have more faith in my plan!" Mand brought the dragon closer and closer to the earth. She began to sweat as the ground inched closer. Finally, at the edge of the field, the tip of the tail sunk into the soft earth, plowing a furrow as the dragon swooped along. When the dragon reached the far end of the field, Mand pumped the wings to get them back in the air. It was only when she brought the dragon around for another pass that she realized how hard she was breathing. "See, I told you this would work!" Val shouted happily, kicking her legs out as they approached the field once again. Mand felt darkness overtake her.
