Elara's move to Redwood Haven feels like the fresh start she's been craving since her mother's death. With a stable job at Living Bread, an affordable place to call home, and Ben-her beloved boyfriend and manager, who is everything she could have dreamed of-charming, caring, and devoted-life is finally falling into place. But as her relationship with Ben deepens, so does her involvement with his devout family. Elara has always been open to different beliefs, but as disturbing truths about Ben's family come to light, she begins to wonder: when does faith go too far? Now, Elara must decide if she can escape before she's drawn into something far darker-or if it's already too late to turn back.

The Hunger of The Thirteenth Bloodline by SamiGarcia
21 parts Complete
When Eira Solenne drags a dying vampire back from the brink with nothing but instinct and defiance, she unknowingly breaks a thousand-year prophecy, and awakens the hunger of a god. For centuries, the Elder, an ancient being of ruin, resurrection, and divine cruelty, has controlled the Thirteenth Bloodline, binding every bride to a fate soaked in blood and obedience. But Eira is unlike the twelve who came before her. She remembers death. She remembers loss. And she refuses to bow. What should have killed her instead transforms her, awakening two impossible forces inside her body: Moonfire. Shadowfire. Light and darkness fused by love and rebellion. When the Elder rises to claim what he believes is his, the world fractures, the moon cracks open, the sky falls, and fate itself warps around Eira's heartbeat. Lucien Hale, the vampire she saved, becomes her greatest strength and her greatest weakness. Their forbidden bond defies divine law... and ignites a war the Elder never prepared for. As prophecies shatter and ancient powers awaken, Eira must choose: Become the anchor that steadies a dying world... or let the world burn to save the man she loves. But the Elder has waited centuries for his perfect Bride. And he will tear heaven, earth, and Eira's soul apart to take back what she stole. A world built on fear is crumbling. A bloodline cursed to obedience is breaking. And a girl who was never meant to survive is about to remake the rules of gods and monsters. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, gothic romance, forbidden bonds, prophecy-breaking heroines, and love powerful enough to kill, and resurrect, gods, The Hunger of The Thirteenth Bloodline is the explosive first novel in a cinematic, emotionally devastating paranormal saga.

34 parts Ongoing
Elara Jones finds solace in silence and sugar. A shy, curvy baker with a softly spoken heart, her world is small and predictable: a quiet office job and a fledgling home bakery where she pours her soul into every treat. She is innocence embodied, and she's content with her simple, invisible life. Kaelan Vance is a king in a world of shadows. A mafia tycoon with a empire of legitimate companies and illegitimate dealings, he commands with a look and takes what he wants. He is a man forged in ruthlessness, his heart untouched... until a glimpse of Elara shatters his control. He isn't just drawn to her beauty; he's captivated by her quiet strength, the peace she radiates, the innocence that stands in stark contrast to his own stained soul. What begins as a fascination quickly spirals into a dark, all-consuming obsession. He must possess her, not just her body, but her heart, her smiles, her very soul. For Elara, Kaelan is a storm she never saw coming. His attention is terrifying yet intoxicating, a whirlwind of danger and desire. He showers her with a devotion that feels like love but looks like madness. He will burn the world to keep her safe and break anyone who dares to look her way. This is a story of two hearts colliding: one learning to love, the other learning to let go. One is a quiet melody, the other a destructive symphony. Can a love built on obsession ever become a sanctuary, or is it just the most beautiful prison of all?
