In the fae world of Merah, status is everything to the elite. The Rochester family is rich, powerful and desired by many. They are also watched closely by those who would do anything to see them fall from grace.
With the passing of his father, Elwin is left to carry on his father's legacy of ensuring that their family remains at the top. His own choices could leave the family in disgrace but it is not the only problem that Elwin faces. His father, Barwin had a secret that could make their status crumble if it got out. As Elwin learns the truth, he struggles to maintain the image that is necessary to fulfil the needs of his large family while keeping their enemy at a distance.
His father's past is not the only challenge that Elwin faces. In the years before his passing, Barwin created a decree, one that all of his sons are bound to. Elwin must complete the decree in order to be free but his stubborn brothers are determined to get the most out of their freedom before they are doomed to their father's demands.
~Book 1~
Calion Rochester has lived his adult life on Earth, refusing to return home unless necessary. Even with the death of his father, he refused to return to Merah permanently. That is until a Raven appears at his house. 
Calion is forced to return to his home world to begin the process of finding a wife. He argues that he should be allowed to live as he pleases. The relationship between Elwin and Calion is frosty, made worse by the issues surrounding their past.
Elwin has his own issues. He's hiding a dark secret from his family. It could cause serious issues for their social standing if the truth is revealed. To make matters worse, he begins to develop feelings for a woman who should be off limits.
Will the warring brothers put aside their differences to complete the decree for Calion? Could the growing feelings that Elwin has for the woman cause a tear in their family that will never be repaired?

#8- teenfiction on 2/3/25 #9-billionaire on 2/3/25 Elliana wasn't always the powerful woman the world sees today. Five years ago, she was Isabella-a struggling girl who made a desperate choice, one that led to a single night with billionaire Xander Martin. She walked away without looking back, carrying a secret that could change both of their lives forever. With no meeting again, they both parted their ways but what if she meets him again after so many years but this time things have been changed. She is no longer that girl cursing her fate. Instead she wrote her fate herself. Will he be able to recognise her after five years and the secret she is hiding from him? Now, when she's back in America for the first time in years, ready to open an art gallery and leave the past where it belongs, her fate has other plans. When she unexpectedly comes face-to-face with Xander again, the careful life she built begins to crack. He's just as intense, just as dangerously compelling-but he's also full of questions. Questions she isn't ready to answer. As old feelings resurface, so do buried secrets-ones that neither of them saw coming. But some truths were never meant to be found, and when dark secrets from their past emerge, Elliana realizes that walking away once was hard enough. This time, it might be impossible.

Still mourning from the untimely death of her mother, and a week before leaving the Nassau county with her best-friend, and with that, everything else she had ever known, Sol find herself wrongfully charged and incarcerated for the murder of a member of her family. Already depressed at the idea of her once-promising future now marred by the bleak confine of a prison cell, she now also has to the deal with the fact that she has just caught the eyes of a man, whose power and reputation for brutality alone precede him. ....... "Little flower" , He said, his fingers gently tilting my head up to look at him. "Yes", I breathlessly exhaled "If you ever speak to me like that again, I will rip your fucking throat out.", He continued with a terrifying smile. ...... - And because his ancestors were never picky about their business endeavours, partly due to their direct ties to royalty, and due to their connections to upper-class members of the justice system in Europe and eventually in North America and Asia, the man's family had been direct benefactors of both world wars due to their involvement in the weapon industry, and as suppliers of the adrenaline-pumping drug both the Germans and the French/Americans were injecting in their soldiers before sending them to battle. It's safe to say the man's power knew no bound or restrain. Power that carried through with every single one of the man's actions. Indeed, The man never yelled and never raised his voice, he never had to. The man was curt in his speech. His deep, raspy, baritone voice almost always resonated through with the same monotonous tone. Unless it was to handle his bi-daily entertainments, which were often eccentric in genre and deriving from eclectic sources. It was only then, you'd see the man's eyes twinkle with amusement, frequently at the expense of others. - ______ WARNING [Contains mature, potentially triggering content]

"Tell me to leave," he said, his voice a low, dangerous whisper that sent shivers cascading down my spine. My breath hitched as I met his piercing gaze, my heart racing in my chest. "And if I don't?" His lips curled into a slow, wicked smile, his eyes dark and consuming, laced with something that made my pulse quicken. He leaned closer, his voice dropping even further. "Then don't blame me for what happens next." "You're playing a very dangerous game, Leo," I managed to say, though my voice trembled as my eyes flicked to his lips. "Am I?" he murmured, his tone soft yet devastating. "Because from where I'm standing, you're the one pulling the strings." His smirk was ever-present, and the amusement dancing in his eyes told me he was thoroughly enjoying this-and it was dangerous for both of us. ~~~~ They were both hiding, but neither expected to be found. Calista Carlisle, Hollywood's sweetheart, escapes to the sleepy town of Mendocino after a public breakup turns her life into tabloid fodder. She's traded red carpets for creaky coffee shop chairs, hoping to stay invisible. But nothing stays quiet for long-not when Leo Donovan, the maddeningly smug owner of the café, keeps finding ways to break through her defenses. Leo isn't just any barista. Billionaire by birth, recluse by choice, he's traded boardrooms for espresso machines, running his late mother's café chain under the radar. He's done with the high-stakes world of fame and fortune-until Calista waltzes into his café and flips his carefully curated life upside down. Their connection is magnetic, but the secrets they're running from might pull them apart. In a town too small for pasts as messy as theirs, one thing becomes clear: they're either each other's safe haven-or their ultimate undoing. "They were supposed to be each other's escape-until they became each other's greatest temptation."

SLOWLY BEING REWRITTEN! People say we're products of our parents. that all of their good traits are passed onto us, that we pick up the bad traits along the way. But what if our parents have no good traits? What does that make us? Are we all bad? Kinsey couldn't speak on the behalf of her father. She'd never met the man. He was just another one of her mother's well-kept secrets that she'd vowed to take to the grave. None of the family knew who the girl'sfather was, or how Kate came to meet him. But Kate was an expert when it came to lying and secret-keeping, it came as second nature to her. Especially when it came to keeping it away from her daughter. From what she did know of her mother Kinsey knew that she wasn't a good person, she lied impulsively, consistently made her daughter feel as though she was nothing, and regularly abandoned the girl so she could disappear without a trace. Sometimes she'd leave her alone, other times with her uncle Chris. Kate Argent lacked any maternal instincts. That was why Kinsey failed to believe that people are products of their parents. It wasn't possible. It couldn't be, not unless her father was a saint and she had just managed to inherit all of her traits from him. She was nothing like her mother. She never had been. And if that day did ever come where she felt as though she had turned out to be like her mother, she knew that she'd failed as a human. Failed herself. Failed her Uncle Chris who had been more like a parent to her than her own, as well as Victoria. Everyone that she ever loved would be failed. But of course, Kinsey didn't realize any of this. Not until the real secret came out. {Seasons 1-6} {#3 in argent}

Whoever Fiáin was born to be died along with her twin brother. She died when a strange white wolf came into their territory and murdered her brother in front of her. All her life, Fiáin had lived with the guilt of having hidden rather than trying to defend her twin, and it didn't matter to her that she had only been a cub herself, or that the effort would've been futile. In her eyes, her brother's loss was her fault. But just as painful as that guilt was the fear that accompanied it; a fear so relentless that she'd never taken her place in her pack, and had settled into a position only one rung above omega. But her family think she's failing to step up, and her father believes that if he just pushes her hard enough, her inner wolf will push back. Cróga, on the other hand, had always known his place. He'd grieved for his younger brother too, but as his father's heir and the subject of an elven oracle's dire prophecy, he couldn't let fear hold him back. Whatever dreams or desires he might have had didn't matter, because one day he would be an alpha male, and a commander of both the Tírgarda and a naval fleet, duty-bound to guard the coast of Tírlaochra from invading forces. His own guilt weighed heavily on him too, because the oracle had forewarned that he could only take his place once his father lost his life, and Cróga wasn't ready to face that loss, or to face his own self-doubt. When the white wolf reappears, Fiáin isn't prepared for her father's decision to send her away, to be the mate of a wolf she barely knows. She's even less prepared for a journey in the company of Styrkr, a male from across the sea who wants to travel Tírlaochra before taking more responsibility in his own pack. None of that matters for long, though, because when the black ships appear from the fog that blankets the sea, war returns to a land that's known peace for centuries, and both Fiáin and Cróga will need to find their places, for the good of everyone.
