๐!๐พ๐๐ผ๐Marymount girls are good girls. Weโre chaste, weโre untouched, and even if we werenโt, no one would know, because we keep our mouths shut.Not that I have anything to share anyway. I never let guys go too far. Iโm behaved. Beautiful, smart, talented, popular, my skirtโs always pressed, and I never have a hair out of place. I own the hallways, walking tall on Monday and dropping to my knees like the good Catholic girl I am on Sunday.Thatโs me. Always in control. Or so they think. The truth is that itโs easy for me to resist them, because what I truly want, they can never be. Something soft and smooth. Someone dangerous and wild. Unfortunately, what I want I have to hide. In the locker room after hours. In the bathroom stall between classes. In the showers after practice. ๐๐ฆ โ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐๐ฆ โ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ โ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก. For me, life is a web of secrets. No one can find out mine. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ผI cross the tracks every day for one reasonโto graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League.

The witch with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents who torments me daily and thinks I wonโt fight back.At least not until I get her alone and find out sheโs hiding so much more than just whatโs underneath those pretty clothes. The princess thinks Iโll scratch her itch. She thinks sheโs still pure as long as itโs not a guy touching her. I told her to stay on her side of town. I told her not to cross the tracks. But one night, she did. And when Iโm done with her, sheโll never be pure again. *TRYST SIX VENOM is a standalone, new adult, bully romance suitable for readers 18+.

Malice
Heather WalterHeather Walter - 2021
But in this darkly magical retelling of โSleeping Beauty,โ true love is more than a simple fairy tale. Once upon a time, there was a wicked fairy who, in an act of vengeance, cursed a line of princesses to die. A curse that could only be broken by true loveโs kiss. Youโve heard this before, havenโt you? The handsome prince. The happily-ever-after. Utter nonsense. Let me tell you, no one in Briar actually cares about what happens to its princesses. Not the way they care about their jewels and elaborate parties and charm-granting elixirs. I thought I didnโt care, either. Until I met her. Princess Aurora. The last heir to Briarโs throne. Kind. Gracious. The future queen her realm needs. One who isnโt bothered that I am Alyce, the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Humiliated and shamed by the same nobles who pay me to bottle hexes and then brand me a monster. Aurora says I should be proud of my gifts. That she . . . cares for me. Even though it was a power like mine that was responsible for her curse. But with less than a year until that curse will kill her, any future I might see with Aurora is swiftly disintegratingโand she canโt stand to kiss yet another insipid prince. I want to help her. If my power began her curse, perhaps itโs what can lift it. Perhaps, together, we could forge a new world. Nonsense again. Because we all know how this story ends, donโt we? Aurora is the beautiful princess. And Iโ I am the villain.
