Francis Collins

Dikhianati Oleh Suami, Dicuri Oleh Saudara Ipar

Melanie Collins adalah istri yang sempurna—penyayang, kuat, dan dapat diandalkan. Selama beberapa tahun terakhir, dia telah mengelola keluarga dan bisnis suaminya yang berantakan sendirian sambil menunggu suaminya kembali dari belajar di luar negeri. Tetapi ketika akhirnya dia kembali, dunia Melanie hancur—dia tidak sendirian. Bersamanya adalah 'teman' terbaiknya. Patah hati dan bingung dengan perubahan pada suaminya, Melanie tidak tahu harus berpaling ke mana. Dan kemudian dia tersandung pada kenyataan yang lebih dingin. Semua yang dia percayai adalah kebohongan. Memendam kemarahan dan penghinaan, saat dia mencoba menerima pengkhianatan itu, seorang yang tak terduga muncul dalam gambar, berniat menggoda dan menaklukkannya. Masalahnya? Pria itu adalah mantan iparnya... Dan melawan penilaian yang lebih baik, dia tertarik pada anak nakal ini... Tetapi saat Melanie mencoba memahami perubahan tersebut, dia menemukan bahwa ada lebih banyak yang terjadi daripada yang pernah dia bayangkan. Apakah kedua bersaudara itu benar-benar jatuh cinta padanya? Atau apakah dia hanya pion dalam permainan yang lebih besar? Sejak dia sudah bersandar pada meja, dia langsung meluncur ke atasnya, dan dengan satu gerakan cepat, dia mengaitkan sepatu botnya di kaki kursinya dan menariknya—menariknya—lebih dekat. Gerakan mendadak itu membuatnya sedikit tersentak, dan ketika dia melihat ke atas atau lebih tepatnya ketika dia melihat ke depan, dia mendapati dirinya menatap langsung pada resleting celana jeansnya... Dia melihat ke atas kemudian dan menatap matanya. Dia menangkap dagunya, "Apakah kamu ingin memeriksa apakah aku hanya berpura-pura, melon manis?" Melanie menegang. Dan kemudian mendorong kembali kursinya tiba-tiba, sehingga Adam hampir kehilangan keseimbangan, saat dia berdiri. Sebelum dia bisa menyeimbangkan dirinya, dia meletakkan tangannya di bahunya, jarinya menyentuh lehernya. Adam menegang, matanya bersinar saat dia menunggu untuk melihat apa yang akan dia lakukan selanjutnya. Dan dia, tentu saja, mengejutkannya ketika tangan lainnya perlahan bercokol di bagian dalam pahanya. Dan kemudian, tangan di bahunya mulai bergerak. Jarinya menelusuri sisi lehernya sebelum terangkat saat dia melirik ke sudut mulutnya. Sedikit potongan logam berkilauan di sana. Dia menyentilnya dengan lembut, nyaris tidak menyentuh, tetapi Adam bisa merasakan panas di seluruh tubuhnya, saat dia mendekat, bibirnya nyaris beberapa sentimeter jauhnya... sehingga mereka berdua bisa merasakan napas satu sama lain… Dia tersenyum perlahan kemudian. "Hati-hati, Adam," dia berbisik, suaranya bermain-main, tetapi membawa tepi tantangan yang tak salah lagi. "Teruskan, dan aku mungkin akan menantangmu."

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."

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.

Ashes of the First Flame

Ashes of the First Flame A novel by [Francis 9439] For centuries, the world of Elaris has burned under the divine light of the First Flame, a sacred fire worshiped by the tyrannical Solar Dominion — a theocratic empire that claims godhood and unity through conquest. The Empress rules with holy fire and iron will, casting down cities that refuse her light, branding all who resist as heretics and rebels. But across the shattered lands of the Free Marches, a spark of defiance refuses to die. Kaelen Virelth, the exiled son of a disgraced noble house, is thrust into leadership after his brother is assassinated. Once a scholar and a pacifist, Kaelen becomes the reluctant face of a rebellion. As war spreads like wildfire, Kaelen must decide whether to become a killer to save the world — or lose everything he loves. On the other side of the war, Serenya Valir, a devoted priestess of the Flame, begins to question the cost of blind faith. Sent to root out traitors within the Dominion, she uncovers dark secrets buried beneath sacred temples — and a prophecy foretelling a choice that will either redeem the world or end it in ash. Amid the chaos rise other forces: the exiled Scorched Order, mage-knights blamed for a forgotten catastrophe; the elemental Aetherborn Tribes, whose magic the Dominion fears and hates; and the seductive spies of the Sable Garden, who pull strings behind every throne. As old gods stir and ancient powers awaken, love blooms between enemies, loyalty crumbles into betrayal, and the line between salvation and damnation blurs. To stop the cycle of fire and ruin, someone must destroy the First Flame — or become its final bearer. But power never dies quietly.

SAY I LOVE YOU

Kimberly est secrètement amoureuse de Jordan Collins, un célèbre basketteur de son lycée, depuis un bon moment. Sa fascination pour lui est telle qu'elle le stalkait assidûment sur tous les réseaux sociaux, que ce soit Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok ou même Tinder. Son obsession est si profonde qu'elle avait même choisi "Jordanlebg" comme mot de passe Wifi, un choix qui s'est retourné contre elle lorsque son voisin a réussi à pirater son ordinateur pour se connecter à son réseau. Mais là n’est pas le pire, son voisin en question se trouve être le meilleur ami de Jordan, et il a maintenant un accès privilégié à la vie de Kimberly et sait presque tout sur ses sentiments pour Jordan. Face à cette situation délicate, Kimberly se demande quoi faire. Devrait-elle prendre le risque de révéler ses sentiments à Jordan au risque d’être rejetée ou devrait-elle garder son secret pour elle-même ? "- Et puis, putain, je te jure que si tu lui dis, je porte plainte pour piratage informatique. - Et moi pour harcèlement. Je suis sûr que ça intéresserait les flics de savoir que tu stalkes les gens. C’est à se demander si tu n'as pas une photo nue de lui. - Ah, ta gueule !", meugle-t-elle, énervée. Bradley glousse, son regard moqueur se pose sur elle alors qu'il s'humecte lentement les lèvres, laissant planer un suspense taquin dans l'air chargé d'électricité. - Ça fait combien de temps que tu es amoureuse de lui?" lance-t-il, un sourire narquois aux lèvres, cherchant à percer le mystère qui entoure les sentiments de la jeune fille. - D-deux ans," répond-elle du tac au tac, sa voix légèrement tremblante trahissant une émotion contenue depuis trop longtemps. Et là, c'est la goutte d'eau qui fait déborder le vase. Bradley éclate de rire, un rire contagieux qui résonne dans la pièce, secouant son corps de spasmes incontrôlables. Puis, soudain, son expression se fait plus sérieuse, son regard plongeant dans celui de la jeune fille avec une intensité troublante. - Merde, t'as quel âge, 15 ans?" lance-t-il, mêlant moquerie et incrédulité, avant d'être interrompu par un soupire agacé de la part de Beverly , qui réplique avec une pointe d’énervement: "Vas te faire foutre!" - Mais plus sérieusement, tu es mignonne et tout, mais..." Il s'interrompt, la dévisageant d'un air critique, son regard balayant son apparence de haut en bas avec une franchise désarmante . "Mais je ne pense pas que Jordan serait intéressé par une fille qui porte encore une culotte Hello Kitty," lâche-t-il finalement, pointant du doigt un détail embarrassant que la jeune fille n'avait pas remarqué. Instinctivement, elle baisse les yeux sur son pantalon, réalisant avec horreur qu'elle a oublié de refermer sa fermeture éclair. Son visage s'empourpre instantanément, trahissant son embarras dans un éclat de rouge vif qui contraste avec la gravité de la situation.

The Entangled Grudge

"Cursed by vengeance, bound by fate" ************* "In shadows' embrace, grudges entwine, A tale of vengeance, an oath malign. Two souls adrift, in darkness they're bound, Seeking redemption, a fate unbound. Whispers of old wounds, revenge takes its hold, In the labyrinth of grudges, stories unfold. A dance of darkness, a symphony of pain, In the web of hatred, hearts break and strain. Forgiveness withheld, destinies entwined, In the shadows of vengeance, souls confined. Through echoes of spite, their paths converge, In 'The Entangled Grudge,' a tale they urge." *************** Jade Collins thought she was coming home to peace — instead, she walked into her father's funeral and a legacy soaked in blood. Thrust into the heart of a mafia empire she never asked for, Jade must navigate betrayal, secrets, and a power struggle she’s unprepared to face. But something else is watching her. Something not of this world. A voice whispers her name. A presence lingers in the dark. Memories that aren't hers begin to haunt her. As she unravels the mystery behind her father's death, she finds herself drawn to the one soul she should fear the most. A bond forms — impossible, dangerous, and otherworldly. Because the dead don’t always rest. And love doesn’t always come from the living. **Sneak Peek** Jade says, eyes narrowing, voice dripping with defiance “You think you can control me, Tristen? You’re nothing to me.” Tristen with a dark smile curling on his lips, his voice a low whisper in her ear “Perhaps. But your past... and your heart—both belong to me now, Jade. Whether you like it or not.” Jade steps back, her eyes flashing with fury “You don’t get to decide that for me. I’ll break free of your chains, even if it means burning this whole world down.” Tristen speaks, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of admiration and menace “Then burn it. I’ll watch, and when it’s all gone, I’ll still be here—waiting.” ************* Can vengeance ever sleep when hearts refuse to forget? Will their hearts heal a history of bloodshed—or will they be doomed to repeat it?
