Peter Ballard

Yours, Illegally.

Selena thought her life was picture-perfect. Married to her high school sweetheart, Peter, with a quiet, comfortable home and the kind of stability most women dream of. But stability shatters when Peter, the man she trusted most, suggests an open marriage... just to explore things with his secretary. Devastated and emotionally shattered, Selena walks into a nightclub for the first time in nearly a decade. One reckless night. One familiar face. That’s all it takes to set her world spinning. Jack Brooks, her brother’s best friend, the one man who always felt a little too off-limits, is there. Older, bolder, and far more dangerous to her heart than she ever remembered. What begins as an impulsive escape turns into something addictive. Jack becomes her forbidden thrill that grows into something raw, obsessive, and all-consuming. But secrets have a habit of surfacing. And when Peter discovers the truth, the fallout is catastrophic. The marriage implodes. Family bonds rupture. And Selena is left to pick up the pieces alone. She flees to New York, determined to rebuild from scratch. Hardened by betrayal and scarred by the mess she left behind, Selena shuts down the part of herself that once craved love. Now, she plays by her own rules; a seductive, ruthless, and untouchable woman with no attachments and apologies. After years of struggles, success, and power come in her way, but emotional detachment has a price, and Selena doesn’t realize how much of herself she’s lost until she sees Jack again. And suddenly, the walls she built start to crack, because it was never guilt that haunted her... it was love. But is love enough now? Can Jack forgive the woman Selena has become? Can he accept her, flaws and all? Or has too much been broken to ever put back together?

game of finding love

In a world where the legacy of ancient empires determines fate, goodness magic lies dormant—waiting to be awakened by the kiss of the anointed. These rare individuals are born of noble bloodlines traced back to the once-rival empires of Crispin and Liputian. The two kingdoms, once bonded by peace, discovered four elemental gems beneath the sea: orange (fire), black (earth), blue (water), and green (air)—the sacred sources of all magical power. But peace gave way to greed and conquest. The Crispin Empire, lustful for dominion, enslaved the Liputians and claimed the four gems and two enchanted half-necklaces. Yet from the ashes of oppression, Queen Deli and a cunning Liputian slave named Nick conspired to reclaim what was stolen, stealing the gems during a grand festival—sparking a legacy of revenge, rebellion, and restoration. In the centuries that followed, power again corrupted. The Liputians, now in possession of the gems, splintered into four secretive clans, each guarding a single gem and a magically sealed puzzle book meant to preserve their fragment of power. The promise of unity was lost to division—until a new generation rose. In a modern society plagued by systemic evil—where the state colludes with cultic groups to exploit the young, monopolize economies, and pass corrupt laws—a band of students dares to challenge it all. Nick Putian, Jasmine Rose, Tiffy, Mikal Kaal, Jenny, Elizabeth Shadd, William, John, and Lama are drawn together by myth, ancestry, and the stirring call of justice. What begins as high school romance and rivalry—love triangles between Nick, Tiffy, Jasmine, and Elizabeth—turns into a quest to redeem a broken nation. Guided by ancient maps only readable by those of Crispin or Liputian descent, the group unearths their destinies as potential anointed kissers, capable of unlocking the elusive goodness magic through love’s purest expression. Elizabeth, Tiffy, and Nick are revealed as ideal candidates, bound by blood and fate. Together, they face impossible missions—from decoding ancient riddles in the Chillbi desert, surviviving Crapaud Forest, the desolate Chillbi Desert, and enduring the volcanic threats of Mount Volta, to enduring arrest at Mansoon Basement, and confronting sea storms and secret enemies at Hina Sea. Each location offers not only physical trials but emotional tests: betrayal, tension, near breakups, and the threat of moral collapse. Ultimately, it is not power or bloodline alone that secures victory—but unity, love, and sacrifice. Through an unlikely kiss between Nick and Tiffy, the long-lost goodness magic is finally awakened. The cultic systems collapse, and the government—exposed and humbled—cedes the mystical Hina Island to the allies, where they begin forging a new state rooted in justice and peace. This is a tale of how youthful courage, ancestral power, and the choice to love over rule can reclaim the soul of a nation.
