Violet Garden

Mated to the Mad Lord

#Rated 18-Mature Themes Violet’s life was never her own—her father’s crushing debt made sure of that. But when the debt collector kidnaps her as payment, she takes a desperate deal: become a servant and spy on the mysterious and tyrannical Lord Cain, the ruler of her Werewolf district. There’s just one catch: Lord Cain only permits male servants in his house. Disguised as a boy, Violet cuts her hair, flattens her chest, and dons a voice-altering band to pull off the deception. Everything goes according to plan—until Cain, a man known for his cold personality starts to take a peculiar interest in her. Violet’s disguise becomes a prison as she battles her own growing attraction to him. But this is no love story. Cain’s obsession to her is dangerous. Beneath his icy gaze lies a mind fractured by years of affliction by a curse. A curse made by Violet's biological mother: A powerful witch. ************* "TAKE IT OFF!" Violet’s knees nearly buckled at the thunderous command, her chest tightening with panic. The raw anger in Cain’s voice was as sharp as a blade. "My lord! I-I’m a man!" she stammered, gripping her shirt tightly, her fingers trembling as they clung to the fabric. "I don't like other men!" she cried, a desperate plea in her voice since the second she took her shirt off and he discovered that she was a woman was the moment she died. Painfully. Cain’s glare was unyielding, his voice dropping into a growl. "Don’t insult me, You think I do. You kissed me!" Her breath hitched as he stepped closer, his presence suffocating. "If you don’t take it off," he said, his tone low and dangerous, "I’ll rip it off myself." Violet’s mind raced, panic threatening to overwhelm her. She couldn’t let him find out—he’d kill her. Painfully. Glancing away to avoid his gaze when she caught the undeniable bulge in his trousers. Heat flushed her face, her thoughts spinning in desperation at the only idea she could think of to make him back off. 'This has to work. It has to!'

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Desafía al Alfa(s)

Dos siglos después de la Gran Guerra, la paz entre humanos y hombres lobo finalmente se logró, o eso creen todos. Los hombres lobo reinan como dioses, y los humanos permanecen alegremente inconscientes de su verdadero lugar en el nuevo orden mundial. Para mantener este frágil equilibrio, cada año, un puñado de humanos "afortunados" son seleccionados de varios distritos para asistir a la Academia Lunaris, una institución prestigiosa que promete gloria, estatus y una oportunidad de mezclarse con la élite. Los elegidos son considerados como los pocos afortunados, destinados a casarse con poderosos alfa y ascender como luna. Este año, Violet Purple está entre las elegidas, para sorpresa de todos. Para una niña huérfana adoptada por una prostituta deshonrada, esto es un boleto dorado para una vida mejor o eso le dicen. Pero la Academia Lunaris no es el paraíso que pintan ser. Todo lo que Violet y sus compañeros humanos han aprendido es una mentira. Los humanos están lejos de ser iguales; son peones en un juego mucho más grande. La academia no es más que una jaula dorada, y los estudiantes son corderos llevados al matadero, juguetes para que los alfas jueguen en sus despiadados juegos. Para empeorar las cosas, Violet atrae la atención de los jugadores más peligrosos de este juego, los Cuatro del Terror: el Alfa del Norte, Alfa del Sur, Alfa del Este y Alfa del Oeste. Cada uno es más peligroso, más retorcido y más poderoso que el anterior. Pero incluso entre ellos, los alfas están divididos, cada uno con sus propias ambiciones mortales. Sin embargo, todos tienen los ojos puestos en ella. Esperan que Violet se sume al juego, que siga la línea como los otros que adoran a sus pies, que se rompa bajo sus juegos. Pero Violet no es como los demás. Ella se niega a inclinarse. Ella los desafiará a todos.

Den Alphas trotzen

Zwei Jahrhunderte nach dem Großen Krieg wurde endlich Frieden zwischen Menschen und Werwölfen geschlossen, zumindest glauben das alle. Werwölfe herrschen wie Götter, und die Menschen sind sich ihrer wahren Stellung in der neuen Weltordnung nicht bewusst. Um dieses zerbrechliche Gleichgewicht aufrechtzuerhalten, wird jedes Jahr eine Handvoll "glücklicher" Menschen aus verschiedenen Bezirken ausgewählt, um die Lunaris-Akademie zu besuchen, eine prestigeträchtige Einrichtung, die Ruhm, Status und die Chance verspricht, sich unter die Elite zu mischen. Die Auserwählten werden als die wenigen Glücklichen gepriesen, die dazu bestimmt sind, mächtige Alphas zu heiraten und zu Luna aufzusteigen. Dieses Jahr ist Violet Purple unter den Auserwählten, sehr zur Überraschung aller. Für das Waisenmädchen, das von einer in Ungnade gefallenen Prostituierten adoptiert wurde, ist dies eine goldene Eintrittskarte in ein besseres Leben, so sagt man ihr. Aber die Lunaris Academy ist nicht das Paradies, als das sie dargestellt wird. Alles, was man Violet und ihren Mitmenschen beigebracht hat, ist eine Lüge. Die Menschen sind bei weitem nicht gleichberechtigt; sie sind Spielfiguren in einem viel größeren Spiel. Die Akademie ist nichts weiter als ein vergoldeter Käfig, und die Studenten sind Lämmer, die zur Schlachtbank geführt werden, Spielzeuge für die Alphas, mit denen sie in ihren rücksichtslosen Spielen spielen. Zu allem Übel erregt Violet die Aufmerksamkeit der gefährlichsten Spieler in diesem Spiel, der Terror Four: das Alpha des Nordens, das Alpha des Südens, das Alpha des Ostens und das Alpha des Westens. Jeder von ihnen ist gefährlicher, verdrehter und mächtiger als der andere. Aber auch unter sich sind die Alphas gespalten, jeder mit seinen eigenen tödlichen Ambitionen. Und doch haben sie alle ein Auge auf sie geworfen. Sie erwarten von Violet, dass sie mitspielt, dass sie sich fügt wie die anderen, die ihnen zu Füßen liegen, dass sie sich ihren Spielen unterwirft. Aber Violet ist nicht wie die anderen. Sie weigert sich, sich zu beugen. Sie wird sich ihnen allen widersetzen. *********** Mit einem Grinsen, das ihr Unbehagen bereitete, reichte er ihr den Antrag. "Genehmigen Sie diesen." Direktorin Jamesons Neugier übermannte sie, als sie ihm das Papier abnahm und mit den Augen den Text überflog. Fast sofort blieb ihr der Atem im Hals stecken, und ihre Augen weiteten sich ungläubig. "Was zum ...?" "Es ist perfekt, nicht wahr?" Ashers Stimme klang fast schadenfroh. Verdammter Psychopath! Jameson konnte kaum glauben, was sie da las. "Mr. Nightshade, bei allem Respekt, diese Bewerberin....this hat gerade zugegeben..." Sie konnte den Satz nicht zu Ende bringen, immer noch entsetzt über den eindeutigen Inhalt der Bewerbung. Sie holte tief Luft und fuhr fort: "Es tut mir leid, aber ich kann das nicht genehmigen." "Sie hat mich herausgefordert", sagte Archer mit einem dunklen Schimmer in den Augen. "Was?" "'Warte, bis du mich im Bett siehst'", wiederholte er die fettgedruckte Zeile aus dem Antrag und sein Grinsen wurde breiter. "Und ich kann es kaum erwarten, es herauszufinden." "Mr. Nightshade-" Er stand auf und unterbrach ihren Protest, als er sie mit einem intensiven Blick fixierte. "Genehmigen Sie den Antrag. Ich werde nicht noch einmal fragen." Ohne ihre Antwort abzuwarten, verließ Asher das Büro in der Gewissheit, dass sie seinen Anweisungen folgen würde. Er bekam immer, was er wollte. Archer Nightshade ging mit federndem Schritt den Flur entlang. Zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit fühlte er sich lebendig, sein Blut pulsierte vor Erregung. Die anderen Kardinalalphas hatten keine Ahnung, was er vorhatte, aber sie würden es bald merken. Er hatte gerade das Spiel in Gang gesetzt. Und das Ziel war Violet Purple. Das Spiel war eröffnet. Anmerkung: Dies ist keine gewöhnliche Werwolfgeschichte. Alles, was man über Werwölfe zu wissen glaubt, wird in diesem Buch in Frage gestellt. Und ja, es ist ein umgekehrter Harem. Probieren Sie das Buch doch einmal aus.

The Dragon's keepsake

Sometimes, God has chosen the right path for you, but you go against it... ~~ Isabel was a commoner living in the village of the kingdom of Valaraeth, a place where dragons roamed the skies, high and mighty. These untouchable heavenly beings could only be ridden by the royal family and nobles. "Is it not unfair?" she would muse, her pretty eyes shining with awe and enthusiasm whenever she saw a dragon flying over her village. She yearned to be with them, to touch them, and to ride across the beautiful world on their backs. Her dream came true when she discovered she was a royal—the youngest daughter of the King of Valaraeth. But every pretty dream came with a price, one she neglected to consider in her hopeful reverie. Taken to the palace, Isabel's life seemed perfect: beautiful dresses, elder royal siblings, and a loving queen mother. But the facade shattered when she learned the truth—their cruel and twisted personalities lay hidden beneath their beautiful masks. Every member of the royal family had a dragon bonded to them by blood in childhood. Her dragon was the youngest of the Emberstorm clan, an ancient lineage of fire dragons. Isabel was the first in a hundred centuries to be chosen by a fire dragon, sparking jealousy and hatred from everyone. ~~~ Excerpt: "I, Scorvius Drá Ashéncrest XII, Sovereign of Valaraeth, hereby sever all ties between the 6th Princess Isabel Drá Ashéncrest of Valaraeth and the esteemed lineage of Ashéncrest. Let it be known across our realm that she stands alone, stripped of her birthright, for she has committed an unforgivable sin—the slaying of her own dragon, the last dragon of the proud Emberstorm lineage." With solemn resolve, the king decreed her fate, yet Isabel remained unmoved. Her thoughts were consumed by the haunting memory of her dragon's final breath. She found herself thrust upon the platform of condemnation, judged in the unforgiving gaze of the assembled court, denied the chance to plead her case or offer explanation.

Song of the Gardener of Souls [BL]

Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement. As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral. With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be. Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret. When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust. As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side. He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first. ************************************* Updates 3-4 times per week. Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff. When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice. There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy. This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love. ************************************* Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!): Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze. Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan. A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left. But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another. He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else. One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer. Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out. "What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest. "The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it." "Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him. Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again. "I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it." Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you." "I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction. "I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…" "You want what?" "I want more." Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"
