On the side of her neck, I saw two round holes resembling to look like fangs or some sorta sharp pointed teeth." I finally just told him. He first looked at me weirdly before bursting out into laughter. "Fangs like a vampire?" He teased and I should've seen this coming. I burst into a hard enough uproar to pee myself. "You are so mean!" I chuckled. "Alright, I'll be nice to my vampire nerd," he said winking at me. "You haven't found anybody else that lived in the city?" He asked just wondering.

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.

Entangled Hearts: A Billionaire's Second Chance

Natalie Collins is a career woman, and she has worked hard for what she has today. She resides in a rich and active city, substituting her painful past. Such is the life of the protagonist, who is immediately thrown for a loop when she comes across Scott Foreman, a charming billionaire with whom she seems to have shared a past. In a bid to recapture the past and also make amends for his misdeeds, Scott returns to his city after years of empire construction. A meeting between two of them in the framework of a highly publicized charity event causes a storm in the soul of Natalie. The passion between them is remembered, as is the anguish of betrayal by Scott, whom she loved but who was killed by Chris. Although she is much wiser than that, Natalie agrees to be business partners with Scott since she thinks that the business aspect will prevent her from ‘losing her head’.  As they both come together and start working, they realize that they are healing each other sexually and slowly start regaining their married relationship. Scott becomes honest about his sins and seems to want to be a new man, but Natalie cannot forget what she felt for him and, at the same time, cannot let him use her. Indeed, for the purpose of trying to get some sort of clarity, she returns to the family home, where she goes over her interactions with both Scott and David, her current boyfriend, who is present, affectionate, and supportive. Convinced that she needs to confront herself, Natalie has truthful dialogues with the two men. She tells Scott her feelings of fear and hope and thus creates a foundation on which to restore confidence, and she discusses with David her weaknesses. Finally, Natalie makes her decision to forgive Scott and to try in her newfound relationship to get a fresh start for the two of them. Reconnecting as a couple, they have to deal with Scott’s jealous ex-girlfriend and the stress of Natalie’s high-stakes job. However, despite all this, they stand together, help, and, as a result, become much more energetic. Scott does not cease to regain Natalie’s trust and confidence in him, and through his patient sincerity, he is able to do it, and their love deepens. One of the prominent narrative motifs is a trip of lovers; the last scene before the credits roll is the moment Scott proposes a marriage to Natalie, and the girl accepts the ring. The union that signifies their love and pledge to each other is their wedding and the vows and contracts that are made and received. As has been seen many times among young parents, they organize the process of child care along with their working responsibilities. This is evident when Scott chooses to avoid work in order to assist Natalie and, in the process, support his expanding family.  Together, they develop new business opportunities, and the family foundation is created to make an adequate contribution with their achievements. The happiness that was perceived on screen—the sweetness of a love that had dreams as its backdrop—was apparent in their friendship. They move to the epilogue, and viewers witness Natalie and Scott in their happy family, still loving each other and still legally married. They are able to look at the barriers they have overcome and the joy in having met each other because the affectionate relationship is more than physical. This stands for love, affection, and, to a certain extent, the permanency of their relationship, which they created. "Entangled Hearts: “A Billionaire’s Second Chance” is a worthy example of an absent or true love story, commitment, and second chances that successfully overcome all of them.

Noble Blood, Convict Chains. Based on a true story.

Set against the sweeping backdrop of 19th-century England and Australia, Collin Peacock: Noble Blood, Convict Chains is the compelling story of Collin Peacock, a man born into the shadows of nobility, fighting to carve his place in a world that constantly pushes him aside. Born on December 13, 1805, Collin and his twin sister, Mary, are the illegitimate children of Jane Peacock, a commoner, and Lord Peter Campbell III, a wealthy sugar plantation owner from Jamaica. Though their father acknowledged them in his will, societal norms prevented him from offering more than financial support, leaving them to grow up in the quiet village of Little Fencote, Yorkshire. Despite his noble blood, Collin was a man of modest means, working as a stockman and poultry seller. His strong will and keen intellect, sharpened by an education his mother secured for him, set him apart from others in his village. Life for Collin took a devastating turn in 1836 when he was falsely accused of receiving stolen pigeons, a crime instigated by his father’s family, the Campbells, who had stopped paying the small sum left to Collin and Mary after Lord Peter’s death. The accusation led to his arrest and a harrowing trial at the Old Bailey. Despite his protestations of innocence, Collin was sentenced to seven years of hard labor in Australia, torn away from his wife Ellen and their four daughters. The journey to Australia aboard a prison hulk was nothing short of a nightmare. Collin’s name was misspelled as “Colling Peacock,” an obvious clerical error that became a new identity in his convict records. Yet, even as he faced the brutal conditions of penal life, Collin found ways to maintain his dignity. He used his education to teach other convicts how to read and write, and his skills as a horseman earned him respect among both prisoners and guards. When news of Ellen’s death reached him from England, Collin’s grief was profound, but it also marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life. Upon completing his sentence, Collin married Jane Brennan in Australia, and together they started a family. With his indomitable spirit, Collin seized the opportunities available to him, acquiring land and building an agricultural empire in Laidley, a town that would later become part of Queensland. Collin Peacock: A story of resilience, betrayal, and redemption. It chronicles one man’s journey from the green fields of Yorkshire to the harsh, untamed landscape of Australia. Collin’s life is a testament to the power of perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds, as he rises from the ashes of a fractured family legacy to create a legacy of his own.
