Blood. It is all I have ever known. From the moment I was brought into this world, shrouded in it, to present. I carry sword and shield in hand, leading my army to battle, feeling the blood of the enemy spray onto my face, covering my body with crimson rain. War. It is all I have ever known. They call me the God of War, not knowing that my reputation precedes farther than what is actual truth. Death is my companion. From...

Prologue  It wasn’t the way she talked, or the way she carried herself in those six inch heels, and skin tight dresses. It wasn’t because of her strawberry scented hair, or her sun kissed skin that made me hate Lana so much. She was as beautiful as beautiful could get; a natural blonde, with thick long, wavy locks that she normally wore around her shoulders, tousled, and windblown. Her big aqua eyes were alluring, but hid...

LOGAN  I couldn’t get her off my mind all night. It was bloody maddening. I felt like I had an affliction that I just could not cure. Ever since our intimate encounter in my office, Ava’s body, her lips, her touch, her scent had been infused in my memory, haunting me everywhere I went.

Do you know what it’s like to be in love with somebody you hate? To have them completely consume you, and occupy your thoughts at all hours of the day, including your dreams at night? That’s how I felt about Professor Logan Wesley.

That sexual tension between them had changed the atmosphere in the room as soon as Lexi opened the door and looked into Ian’s frosted eyes. She just couldn’t understand why these feelings were there, and developing so quickly. How was it possible for him to completely control her body without even touching it? Because that’s ex...

They always say that one night stands can lead to a variety of awkward situations. You can wake up the next morning feeling absolutely hung over and filled with regret after a night of drunken sex that you can hardly remember. You can wake up next to your best friend and feel despairing dread because you crossed a line that you can never take back anymore. Or you might feel doomed because you realize you’re in love with t...

Prologue  April 7, 2011 2:00 a.m. I am a runaway, lost at sea. I am a broken bird, yearning to fly free. I am a sinner, unworthy and unholy. I am a rose, wilting slowly. I am a raindrop, touching your cheek. I am a child who plays hide and seek. I am nothing, and yet I am everything. I am contradiction and complexities. I am a face with a hundred entities. I am love and I am hate. I am the voice that cannot communicate. I...
