What Happens After Dark Phoenix

Never Trust A Shadow After Dark

WSA 2025 entry. Lady Melisandre ‘Lisa’ Belmont was a young, French beauty wrongfully accused and publicly executed for crimes she did not commit. Mysteriously reborn as a contender for a modern day American variety games and entertainment show. In this new lifetime she's claimed the body of a beautiful aspiring actress who got fed up with constantly being duped by her conniving manager. The last straw was being forced to marry a complete stranger. Coerced to sign up as a married couple for a reality tv show where contestants vie to win the coveted Shadowhurst legacy. Rumored to be an inheritance worth billions that was left behind by the elderly recluse Eleanor Shadowhurst. What might be an ideal situation for the other women is a nightmare for Lisa who wakes up trapped in a marriage she never wanted. A sense of guilt for taking over the owner’s body makes Lisa not want to do anything that would jeopardize her career as an actress. She has no choice but to play along as Lisa can see no way out of the contract which seems pretty ironclad. After reading the contract, she realizes that it may be beneficial as long as the couple doesn't get eliminated before reaching the top ten. Lisa stands a chance to win a lifetime of lucrative endorsement deals & royalties, that can only help boost her career as an actress. Win or lose Lisa will still get paid by her husband the enigmatic and handsome Bane Shadowhurst as long as she does nothing to cause a scandal or get the couple disqualified early. His main stipulation is that Lisa pretends to be in love with Bane. They must awkwardly overcome their differences and live with other competing couples on a sprawling, isolated estate located on an island not found on any map. Every need is met, every comfort is provided, even the security of the mansion is world renown for its defense. All of these couples have secrets and are fleeing from their own personal traumas. It seems like the opportunity of a lifetime until the unthinkable happens. Hysteria grows as suspicious accidents escalate, couples feel their personal safety is threatened as the security system is repeatedly breached. Everything is hush hush, the handlers, the producers and media company can’t be trusted. Life hangs in the balance as the group is slowly cut off from the outside world. An insidious intelligence wants to stop Lisa from leaving the island alive. It will stop at nothing to dominate Lisa against her will, invoke terror and consume her soul. Only true love can overcome the insidious evil and save their souls. Lisa will just have to search her heart before it's too late and never trust a shadow after dark.

Wait, What? I'm a Phoenix?

Being normal is boring... Dull... Monotonous... Simply gray.... So... I read books!!!!! Well of course not educational ones, how boring would that be! I read transmigration and cultivation ones, you know, The cultivation life, The overpower female lead, The mind blowing scheming, The powerful prince charmi - - -. ... " BANG!!!" Ava just found herself flying out of her house without being able to wipe the stupid grin from her face, due to her writing - turned - daydream, and landed on their lawn, face first. " What the f*ck?", she murmured while pulling her sorry ass up with a bleeding nose. ~~ whoosssshhh ~~ 'What the hell?', curses sprang again and again in her mind as she looks at their house, being consumed with red flames in one moment, and then green flames the other minute. As an ordinary student who barely listens to their class discussion, " Just what kind of chemistry is this?" *** " All of those female leads already have male leads right? RIGHT?!", she asked herself. " You never thought of me as a male?", a deep voice emerge behind her back, making her jump in shock. She is greeted by the most handsome frowning face she has ever seen in her whole existence, making her almost drool. " You're a beautiful scenery", she mindlessly replied, making the already frowning face turned black. " That's it?", he asked in an almost growling voice, irritated at the little girl's nonsense in front of him. Seeing his black face, she can't help but frown. " Huh? Hmpp---", her eyes widen as she realize the strange soft and moist thing sucking her mouth, making her legs turn into jelly. He catch her falling form and kissed her even deeply. He licks, sucks and enter, making her brain turns blank in pleasure. When he felt that she is already not breathing anymore, he broke the kiss. " Remember this young lady, I am a man. Your man." Photo not mine.

I may do flashbacks or even write a prequel after this novel is finished depicting his long, long journey just to get to the beginning of this novel. Be Warned! There will be several triggering topics addressed in this novel, though it is not a dark romance it does touch on abuse: neglect, mental, verbal, physical and sexual. This is a Boy Love, LGBT or gay romance novel that will have explicit scenes. I will not be putting warnings up as I go along. I am working through some of my own trauma through writing this novel, so I understand it is not for everyone. That said this is very loosely based off some of my own experiences and any coincidences between names, places or events is just that a coincidence and have nothing in common unless I state other wise and will credit it if I do as well. Cover art was made by me using A.I. image generator and editing it myself. I hold all rights to this novel.
