Myth. Monster. Mine. SpectreI wasn't even a man when I took a life for the first time, although you couldn't say I was a child. If I'd ever had a childhood, it hadn't lasted long. My father, may he rot in hell, had seen to that. I took his life as well and that, too, happened before I was old enough to be considered a grown man. I never regretted it for a second. That path almost led to my own grave, and would have, if I hadn't stumbled across somebody who was as different from my father as day was from night. Sarge had seen the monster lurking inside, so he took control, gave me guidelines, rules, so I wouldn't be the monster my father had planned. It worked. I restrained the worst of my rage and honed the skills that had been drilled into me-theft, stealth. assassination. The broken child ceased to exist and I became Spectre, an assassin spoken of in whispers, hired to take out the worst of humanity. Then I was sent to kill her.and my world came to a screeching halt. TiaIt's taken a long time, but I finally had a nice, steady routine. I stopped trying to conform to the neurotypicals of the world and found my own normal. Normal went out the window when I walked into my kitchen and found a strange (hot), dangerous looking (so fricking hot) man drugging my new dog. It probably wasn't the smartest thing to leap at him like a banshee and attack, but that's what I did. When my attempt to wreck the vehicle was averted, my kidnapper didn't hurt or threaten me. In fact, he told me he wanted to protect me. This (hot) guy had to be crazy. But if he was crazy, what did that make me? Because I believed him. More, I found myself seeing something beyond the rigid, blank mask he wore. He kept trying to push me away, but I couldn't seem to keep my distance. He calls himself a monster.but when I look at him, that isn't what I see. I just see him.and I know he's meant to be mine. Warning: This isn't a snuggly, comfy read. The male MC is a hired killer, while the heroine is neuro-atypical. Some dark material is involved-the hero kidnaps the heroine. There's also violence when he goes on a rampage against those who put a contract on her. Also references of abuse (not against the heroine). Also very graphic, erotic scenes with minor bondage play.

Spectre

Tyriel, the half-breed daughter of an elvish prince and a Wildling lady, had heard it said that a union between an angel and an incubus would have been more likely than the love match between her parents. Wildly independent, she had no use for days at court in the elvish kingdoms. Leaving that life behind, she made her living as a hired sword. As a mercenary, she fought with all the passion of the Wildling clans and the magic of her father's people, the reclusive fae. It was a carefree life.mostly. If the loneliness seemed to haunt her at times, she just hid it with a smile.  That carefree existence changes when she meets Aryn of Olstead, a powerful, sinfully seductive swordsman. Without even trying, he catches her eye, then her heart and soul. Aryn of Olstead was no stranger to the lonely life on the road. While he might be drawn to the half-fae merc with wicked eyes and a seductive laugh, he knows better than to let himself get too close. Part Wildling, part elf, Tyriel is everything magical in the world. Aryn is only a hired sword. Yet, the two bond and spend years working at each other's side, until destructive secrets and hidden needs drove a wedge between them. As a trust built through sweat, blood and battle slowly erodes, their partnership falls apart. Tyriel disappears without a trace. When Aryn learns she's in danger, nothing else matters but finding her. Rescuing her comes with a high price.one higher than he ever imagined.  Warning: Story depicts violence and implied off-the-page sexual assault

Think you know fairy tales...? Guess again. Grimm's Circle, where the stories of fairy tales, folklore and myth were actually created to hide the darker, uglier truths. Demons, monsters, creatures that would steal your soul, settle inside you like a parasite, take over the minds of those you love...and you'd never know. The Grimm, guardian angels who fight the monsters, and too often, themselves. There's no gingerbread cottage, no glass slipper, no damsel with long locks stranded in a tower and there certainly isn't a magic mirror. But there are plenty of kick-ass women and brooding, seductive men, all whom put their near-immortal lives on the line to hold the line between this world and a realm of pure evil. TW: Violence, fighting, kick-ass guardian angels fighting demons, references to off-page sexual violence and abuse, death and reincarnation. There is also lots of love, cursing, swearing, sex...the good things in life. Candy HousesNo Prince CharmingCrazed HeartsTarnished KnightLocked in SilenceGrimm TidingsBlind DestinyFurious FireGrimm's End
