Introduction
Cassidy Fairchild always felt like an outsider in the mundane world, but she never expected to be the anomaly that changes everything. When she is summoned to the Academy of Elemental Arts, a boarding school rooted in a far away realm, hidden from the human world, she discovers it wasn't just an ordinary school like the ones in the world she knew, she discovered she was the wielder of the never seen Fifth Element, the element written in the prophesy, a power as volatile as it is ancient.
In this realm where magic is a weapon, Cassidy finds an unlikely family in a group of gifted students;
Madeleine: The steady heart with the power of Earth.
Jake & Cara: Fire wielders whose blades burn as bright as their resolve.
Damon: The cold precision of Water and Ice.
Sage: A master of the forbidden arts of Blood and Water.
Phoebe: The whirlwind force of Air.
But the Academy’s gilded halls hide rotting secrets. As the shadows at the edge of the realm begin to take form, the signs spoken of in the prophecy of war begins to surface. The misty demons are no longer just bedtime stories, they are an invading army, and some of the school’s elder elementals may not be the protectors they claim to be.
Greedy external forces have caught scent of her awakening. To them, Cassidy isn't a savior, she’s a source of infinite power to be harvested. While the students fight to save their lives from demons, they must also protect the very essence of magic from those who would drain the world dry to possess the Fifth Element.
Chapter 1
THE FIFTH ELEMENT 🌊🔥🌪️⛰️☯️.
~Chapter 1~
Blood.
It was everywhere. Soaking the dirt, painting the stones, running down my arms like I’d tried to hold it all in and failed.
I was supposed to be the savior. The one who ended it.
Instead I stood there, not standing.... But trapped. Every muscle locked like clay, every breath burning my lungs. A statue with a pulse.
And I watched them die.
A boy went down first. Fire flickered around him, then went out when the spear hit his chest. He looked at me as he fell. His eyes... Begging me to do something.
A girl was next. She reached for me, green light dying on her fingertips, before her eyes went empty.
One by one, they fell. I knew them. I loved them. But their names wouldn’t come. My mouth wouldn’t open to say them.
I had the power to save them. I could feel it clawing under my skin, begging to get out.
But I couldn’t move. Couldn’t speak. Couldn’t do a damn thing but watch
The man who did it turned to me last. His face was shadow, but his voice slid into my skull like ice.
“See, Cassidy? This is your doing. All which could have been avoided if you didn't try to be a savior.”
Then he smiled a menacing smile before the world went black.

~Cassie’s POV~
My name is Cassidy Fairchild. For eighteen years, I’ve been a normal teenage girl living a normal teenage life with my mom.
Until a week after my eighteenth birthday.
That was the day everything changed.
My mom and I were always moving. New city, new apartment, new school , rinse and repeat. She said it was because of her job.
It’s why I suck at keeping friends. Every time I managed to make one or two, we’d pack up and leave. Phone numbers got lost. Messages went unanswered. Then I’d start over.
Now we’d moved again. Again, I’d be the new kid. Again, I’d have no one.
It was exhausting. Like I didn’t belong anywhere.
~~~
“Cassie, baby, will you be okay at your new school?” Mom asked. Worry pulled at the corners of her eyes.
“I’ll be fine. Like always,” I sighed. “I just wish I didn’t have to start over again.”
“I know, honey. I know you’re tired of moving. But trust me, everything I’m doing is what’s best for you.” She put her hands on my shoulders, steady and warm.
“What’s best for me, or what’s best for you? You’re the one getting paid.” I rolled my eyes and stepped out of her grip.
“One day, and I hope it’s not soon, you’ll see that everything I do is for your own good, pumpkin.” She grabbed her bag and keys from the counter.
“Right. Whatever you say, Mom.” I held the front door open. “Are you driving me, or should I take the bus? I don’t want to be late on my first day. Bad luck.”
“Sure, I’ll drive you. Be right out.”
She scrambled for her keys. I went to wait in the car.
~
We made a stop at the parking lot of Westview High. The very school I enrolled in this time around.
I got out of the car and slammed the door harder than I meant to, and Mom gave me an encouraging smile before driving off.
The hallway swallowed me whole. Lockers, noise, stares. Being the new girl had perks and downsides. Mostly downsides.
“Hi. You must be Cassidy Fairchild. The new girl.” A brown-haired girl with kind eyes stopped in front of me. “I’m Veronica. I’m your assigned guide for the week.”
“Oh. Hi,” I gave her an awkward smile. “Thanks. And you can call me Cassie, by the way.”
Everything about me screamed awkward.
“Oh, sure. Cassie.” She flashed braces. “Do you have your printed timetable? I can take you to your first class.”
“Yeah. Here.” I handed her the crumpled A4 paper.
She scanned it. “Biology first. Same as me. We can walk there together, if you want.”
She seemed nice. But I wasn’t ready to make friends yet. Not until I knew if we’d still be here next month.
“Sure,” I said.
Veronica led the way. I followed.
The one thing I dreaded about being new happened immediately.
“Cassidy, would you like to introduce yourself?” the bio teacher asked and I knew I couldn't say no.
I introduced myself briefly and Awkwardly.
After bio class, Veronica walked me to English Lit. She wasn’t in this one with me, so I was on my own.
I slid into a seat at the back. No attention. That was the goal.
It lasted three minutes.
The teacher noticed me a new face and asked for another introduction.
I got through it. Barely. On my way back to my seat, someone stuck out a leg.
I stumbled, caught myself on a desk, and looked down.
A honey-blonde girl with fake lashes and doe eyes smiled at me. “Oops. Sorry. You should watch where you’re going… new girl.”
Moving to a lot of different schools made me aware of different characters in a school. I’d met her type before and I knew exactly how to handle her.
“Apology accepted,” I said, keeping my voice level. “And you should learn to keep your legs to yourself… old girl.”
A few people snickered and I went to my seat without looking back.
~
The bell rang for lunch and I quickly shoved my books into my backpack.
“Hi. I’m Jamie. Welcome to our school.” A boy stood by the door, grinning.
“Oh. Hi. Thanks.”
“So, Cassidy. Your name is Cassidy, right?”
“Just Cassie.”
“So, Just Cassie, want to grab lunch together?”
Veronica appeared in the doorway at that exact moment, waving me over.
“Sorry. Maybe some other time. I have to go.” I slipped past him and joined Veronica.
“Do me a favor, Cassie,” she said as we walked. “Don’t talk to that boy. He’s bad news.”
“Oh?” I just nodded.
I wasn’t planning to get involved with anyone yet. My Rule was: know them for a month before getting attached. Just Incase.
We headed to the cafeteria to get some lunch when all I wanted to do was go home.

Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.

Not wolfless. Not weak.

Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.

And neither do dreams.
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
The Family Books 1-3 (A Mafia romance)
The saint to my sinner. with her innocent eyes and devilish curves.
A Madonna that was meant to be admired but never touched.
Until someone took that innocence from her.
She left.
The darkness in my heart was finally complete.
I avenged her, I killed for her, but she never came back.
Until I saw her again. An angel dancing around a pole for money.
She didn’t know I owned that club. She didn’t know I was watching.
This time I won’t let her escape.
I will make her back into the girl I knew.
Whether she likes it or not.
2/ Judge and Jury- I can’t stop watching her.
I’m not even sure I want to.
Taylor Lawson, blonde, beautiful, and totally oblivious to how much dangers she’s in.
She’s also the one juror in my upcoming murder trial that hasn’t been bought.
The one who can put me behind bars for a very long time.
I know I should execute her.
After all that’s what I do.
I am the Judge.
I eliminate threats to The Family.
And Taylor is a threat.
But I don’t want to kill her.
Possessing her, making her love me seems like a much better plan for this particular Juror.
3/ Rags and Ritches-
Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
Lilly’s life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household.
Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost.
At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments.
They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
The Softest Chains
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps.

But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.

Legacy Of Dragons, Royal Dragons Book 2
Ria and the Balaur brothers never imagined how far their family would come.
After surviving betrayal, loss, and the lies that nearly destroyed everything they loved, they dedicated themselves to building a future. What began as a training facility for dragons soon grew into something far greater—a place where dragons and other species from around the world could learn, train, and thrive together.

The family Ria fought so hard to protect has expanded beyond anything she once dreamed possible, bringing new friendships, new adventures, and a growing legacy of grandchildren.
