As Jonathan walked into the meeting hall he looked into the eyes of the Mage council, wise men he'd known for centuries. Ha! He thought a bunch of ridiculous fools! This was a complete waste of time plus the fact that the two most powerful keeps were under attack right now. Jonathan tried to hold back his power, damn it! The fucking Crystal was more active t...
Prologue I've been wanting to do a fun romance story for a while, but wasn't inclined to go into the tropes and cliches I see all too often in both Harlequin novels and erotica. Not that there's anything wrong with said tropes and cliches because I will admit I have some guilty pleasure from certain ones, and I know I'm not alone in this. But if this is not...
I will apologize for the long wait. I have a list of excuses, but I don't want your pity. Life can be difficult. I hope enjoy the story! This chapter has been self-edited, so go easy on me. I tried my best, but I tend to miss things. Do comment! Good or bad, I want to hear it! ~Adare ************* "What effects?" Nana's face was an indecipherable mask, w...
Paulo took a deep draw on his cigarette as he stared out over the blue horizon. Standing at the edge of the long, wooden pier, he listened to the gentle rush of the waves, along with the thunking of many small rowboats. Every sea-worthy vessel was tied. He heard the familiar footfalls of Marcus coming up behind him, followed by the pattering of smaller feet...
There were bags and bags of clothes scattered about Cindy's bed late that night. Tight vinyl dresses worn for late-night clubbing, short night gowns with matching thongs, tiny skirts and tank tops, and stiletto heels of all colors covered Cindy's room. There were long sexy full-length robes with matching nylon stockings, dark fur coats and tiny glittery stri...
I wanted to apologize for how long this took to be put up. Part 13 was NOT supposed to be a cliff hanger. I had planned on 14 to be released right afterwards, but life got in the way. A situation came up in my own life and I had to settle that before finishing 14. I made a decision to put up the last part, despite the ending. It was not my intention to make...
Chapter 17 I woke in pain. My head was killing me. To my surprise I could reach my magic, so I healed myself. I slowly opened my eyes and I was lying in Harmon's arms and he was radiating concern, mixed with rage. There was also some type of... field in the air. It stopped me when I tried to open a portal, or really do anything outside of my body. We were...
One of the things that Alan hadn't anticipated with having four women living with him -- magical or not -- was the laundry. Normally, he had to wash clothes once every week or two. With this many people to do chores for, he found he had to wash clothes every other day and dishes twice as often. For some reason, he had assumed that their clothes would be magi...
The Magician's Assistant A long time ago on a stormy night in Kansas... The sky was getting darker. A terrible storm was approaching. Dorothy knew she and her dog Toto needed to get home soon or their Auntie Em would be worried sick. They decided to take a shortcut through the woods. That turned out to be a mistake, for soon they found themselves terribly...
A big thanks to Lady_Sith for all she does to help me out. And another thank you to those readers who have e-mailed me and continued a conversation. The constant Q&A about this universe is fun, and inspirational to me. As always, comments are always appreciated. Thank you for reading, Axle. ****** The thick concrete that had once protected Simon and El...
