Veingloria: The Beltraine Sisterhood *New Book Release!* Available on Amazon Kindle/ Kindle Unlimited.

In the heart of the moon-ruled, perpetual night of Nyxhaven, stands the Beltraine Sisterhood, an Academy where witches banish vampires. Gloria gets enrolled into its hallowed halls as the only Channeler, from whom energy is siphoned for the vampire-banishing ritual. But she holds a dark and terrible secret: She's a vampire! One wrong step away from being scorched by the purging fires of Salvia, Gloria skirts around her clueless peers, and the three powerful nun-like Headmistresses of the Sisterhood. With her blood cravings intensifying each night and a mysterious scar twisting around her navel, Gloria knows it's only a matter of time before her world comes crashing down.

As the drama unfolds at Beltraine, four royal vampire families are embroiled in a cutthroat political battle for leadership of the fraternity. Draven Blackcross is slowly losing his grip as Nyxhaven's Vampire King. For one, the other three houses plot to have him deposed for his questionable past with their enemies. Even worse, the families are on the verge of discovering his daughter, Tamsyn is a witch. But as unnerving as these facts are, they pale in comparison to a chilling development that has him panicking: a prophecy predicting the return of the BloodVeil. After all, who wouldn't worry about a person with the power to not only destroy him… but to crumble entire worlds?

Draco Malfoy and the most Forbidden of Curses -Chapter 6-

- A different Draco / Hermione adventure - Draco and Hermione walked side by side up the broad obsidian staircase, neither of them saying a word.

Draco stole a quick glance at his former rival. She looked strained, but in what way he could not tell.

Is she excited to meet her dear Potter, or terrified of what she might find?" he wondered. He decided it best to say nothing and instead shifted his gaze to take in as much of the environment as possible. His eyes widened as they reached the top of the stairs.

The exalted architecture matched the decor of where they had dined, if not surpassed it. A synergy of gold and obsidian pillars rose to a balcony floor on either side. It felt more like they were in a castle than a home.

However, there were bookcases along the sides of the hallway, and far too many of them. Almost every available space along the wall was filled with a midnight bookcase, each shelf of it packed full with more books than Draco ever longed to read. If he and Hermione were wed in this world, he could certainly see it in the mansion.

His suspicion was confirmed as he looked further down the hall. His eyes first locked onto a giant portrait hung above a bifurcated staircase ahead. A portrait of an all-too-familiar man and a woman faced back at him. The woman's sharp jawline was outlined by the wavy brown hair flowing down around her, a confidently smug look rested on her face. The blond-haired man rested behind her; his arms wrapped around her waist, his lips curled to a mischievous smile.

They looked intelligent; they looked sinister, and in a twisted way they looked… satisfied.

Draco heard Hermione's breath draw in sharply. She must have seen the painting at the same time that he did, or was she looking at something else?

On either side of the painting was a black banner, and on that stood a single-headed chimera. The lion's head of the chimera roared triumphantly while its snake tail hissed menacingly, flashing its fangs.

There was no doubt in his mind now. This home belonged to both of them, together.

Draco hardly had time to process the fact, as his eyes met the one who was standing on the stairs awaiting them. This may have been a different time, in a different world, but there was no doubt, he knew those eyes.

The Dark Lord stood at the center of the second staircase, midnight robes carrying up to a black hood covering the top of his head. His lightning scare arched from the top of his forehead, splitting in two. Each line crossing his eye as they symmetrically went down his face, finally vanishing at the edge of his chin. Voldemort's cruel leadership and almost-reptilian appearance had always sent a shiver down his spine, but what lurked Potter's eyes now was a new kind of darkness that he was foreign to him, one more primal, one more vicious.

"Mr. and Mrs. Salwise, how good of you to meet me here," Harry said, his tone overwhelmingly confident, as if almost daring defiance. Draco noted the formality.

From the tone, Potter is not accustomed to a challenge that he could not surpass. There might be opportunity in his overconfidence, Draco's mind raced for answers. His tone is formal, maybe even political, but with a hint of fond familiarity. Like two close colleagues always on the watch for the other's weakness, and an opportunity to stab the other in the back. Old fashioned bureaucracy, befitting closer to a royal court than of a modern business. I can play this game.

"Well, you did reach us at our abode after all," Draco replied with a tone closely matching The Dark Lord's. Not flaunting the air of superiority that was in Harry's voice, but reaching a level that still boasted arrogance and hid the newfound fear he had for his old rival. Draco followed the response with a smirk; his performance was perfect.

Hermione flashed a quick glance over at him. The look on her face was undecipherable, Draco could not tell whether she was impressed that he could play this game too, or disgusted in the way he was playing it.

"Always one for humor," Harry replied. Shutting his eyes, the Dark Lord smiled faintly and huffed. "I suppose it would be befitting if this was your only abode."

Only abode? Just how rich are we? Draco thought, struggling to keep a neutral expression.

"You could not be more correct, now how may we be of service, Grandlord?" Draco replied.

The more direct we are to business, the less of an opportunity there will be for either of us to make a mistake and reveal that we aren't the real Mr. and Mrs. Salwise, Draco thought.

"There is the matter of importance which we need to, once again, discuss," Harry said, his voice firm. "I do understand that some things take time, especially issues like this of a more sensitive matter. For that I have been patient, but my patience is wearing thin."

Alright, a few dirty deeds to regain this Dark Lord's favor. I should be able to do that, even if it is to Potter, Draco thought, already beginning to feel triumphant. Though his ambivalence is more frightening than Voldemort's, but what possibly could he ask of me that my Dark Lord hasn't already?

Hermione looked over again towards Draco, this time a faint expression of worry was across her face. She is probably afraid that we will have to kill someone. It's no surprise; Gryffindors may be known for their bravery, but there are defined limitations to how far that bravery will go, Draco thought, his confidence welling. Do not worry, Hermione. A Slytherin can thrive in many places where Gryffindors do not dare travel. I will carry out the tasks that you are too afraid to conduct.

"Could you provide clarity to what you mean?" Draco asked assertively.

This is it, this is how I win the Dark Lord' favor, Draco thought, a faint smirk crossing his face. Just do whatever task the prior Mr. and Mrs. Salwise were putting off, and I'll have The Dark Lord's favor for sure.

"We most certainly would not want to keep you waiting on any task we could perform for your objectives," he continued.

"Do not toy with me, Draco. This is not the first time we have had this conversation," Harry growled.

"My apologies," Draco replied courtesy. "Could you please remind me which conversation you're —"

"You and Hermione have not succeeded to breed! Does that conversation sound familiar to that empty head of yours?" Harry snapped.

"Hermione and I haven't — what?" Draco asked as he blinked three times.

The perils of the journey ahead will push Anna to the limit and answer the one question that has always plagued her... Will she ever be enough?  

  Excerpt:

He took a step closer. “Not everything that night was because of the alcohol. You know that. If things don’t work out with Jack, I think I could make you happy. I’ve loved every minute of our time together.”

Anna curled her lips inward. Truth was, she had too.

He tipped her chin up, leaned close, and paused, searching deep into her eyes. He closed his lids and kissed her cheek.

She put her arms around his waist. “It would take me a long time to get over him. It wouldn’t be fair to you.” Being honest with him felt like a weight lifted off her shoulders.

“I never thought I’d have a chance at fair.” His cheek pressed against her forehead. “But I’m confident we would be happy. I know I would be.”

She kept her arms around him while her heart thrummed. You left him.

Zac glanced back toward the stairs. “We need to go.” He squeezed her hand as they started up the steep steps. When Anna needed to catch her breath, they stopped on a landing and looked back at the ocean.

Anna’s gaze landed on several broken gull shells on the beach near the stairs. “See those eggshells?” She pointed. Broken. “That’s what I’m like. You should find someone who’s whole.”

Zac was silent for a moment. “Those shells aren’t smashed. The chicks had to hatch to become who they’re meant to be.”

Anna watched the gulls hovering over the surf, following the ever-changing patterns of the wind and waves. “They do have a serenity about them.” A gull’s cry pierced the air, and the breeze carried it out to sea.

Zac stared into the sky. “They always call me home.” He pulled her close with one arm and kissed the top of her head.

Anna didn’t know what to say as they climbed the last steps. She hadn’t told him everything. How she’d been a slave in Kasdod, how she still saw the faces of the men she’d killed with sword, arrow, and flame. How she’d shed so much blood he’d never understand. Zac reached back and helped her up the last few steps. Perhaps he sensed her aching side. They came to a stop in front of King Darragh.

Blurb:

Will the 4th of July fireworks light the way to love for Summer and Ace when they find themselves thrown together in Friday Harbor this summer? Seattle marketing specialist Summer Connelly welcomes the assignment to supervise the construction of a company float for the annual 4th of July parade in Friday Harbor, WA. Not only will it be a chance to prove her leadership skills to her boss, but an opportunity for a much-needed escape, especially since she hasn’t taken any time off since her divorce was finalized over a year ago. Ace Lockhart is tired. He works himself to the bone at his Portland contracting company, but something in his life feels off. When doctors tell him his elderly father has taken a turn for the worse, he heads to Friday Harbor to be with the old man, simply because no one else in the family will even speak to him after what he did. As fate would have it, Summer’s plans for the parade go up in smoke before any fireworks are even set off. Can Ace be the ticket to light at the end of the tunnel? Will their days together prior to the big show lead to fireworks in more ways than one?
