This year he wasn't there—left me the keys.

When I walked in, I noticed there was a new deer head mount above the fireplace.

The pupils even contracted in the light.

I texted my un...

I'm a folklorist. Folk traditions are my field.
At first, I thought it was just an ordinary rhyme, a scrap of oral history set to a tune.
"A rag doll in the mire, swinging high up to the sky..."
We all thought it was just a prank.
Until the first person drowned in the bog. Then the second fell from a tower crane. Then the third somehow drowned in a bathtub.
I stared at the black symbol surfacing o...

At last season's Grand Olfactory Gala, Vivienne Harrow presented my formula before I could reach the stage.
I confronted her. She asked where my proof was.
I had nothing. The formula had never left my head — no notes, no records, nothing. I didn't know how she'd gotten it.
I died not knowing.
Then I opened my eyes, and she was already reaching for me.
"Not this time."
I stepped back.

“You can’t handle it,” he warned, backing away as I stepped closer.

“There’s no better way to know than to try.” I replied licking my lower lip.

Funny, right?

It was my fourth time putting on a wedding dress.

To protect myself against my own parents, I hired a ten-man security detail.

I just couldn't understand what kind of parents would do ...

That night, I prayed he would feel every ounce of the pain I had endured. I should have been more careful.

The next morning, I ...

His hand moved to my breast and squeezed it. Jolts of pain and pleasure shot through me and a cry escaped my lips.
"You're nothing but a psycho and I loath your existence," I spat out, in a venomous voice.

"Answer me, Nessa. Do you want to kiss me again?"
When I finally opened my mouth to answer, Vito interrupted me.
"And before you do, you should know the power your words hold, so think very well before you do."
I wasn't ashamed to admit that I'd fantasized about it a few nights prior. "I do." I finally answered, my words just as breathless as his.
"You are certain that you want to do this?"
I...

Zoriana’s breath hitched, the air in her lungs turning to ice as she stared into the darkened eyes of the man pinning her against the warehouse door.

My parents ruined my wedding six times.

Every single time, right at the moment the ring was about to slip onto my finger—the first time, Mom knocked over the champagne tower.

The sixth time, Mom even held...

I came back to New York for one reason: to meet the man my mother arranged for me to marry.
I never made it to dinner.
His "sister"—the woman he'd been protecting since childhood, the one he clearly loved more than he'd ever love a fiancée he'd never met—snatched a twelve-thousand-dollar dress out of my hands at a Fifth Avenue boutique and had me thrown out. When I called him about it, he told me ...
