CONGRATULATIONS TO MY WINNERS!

YOU HAVE ALL BEEN EMAILED.
In order to claim your prize YOU MUST REPLY TO THE EMAIL.  I cannot accept winners through Facebook because there are so many scams. If you do not see my email, please check your SPAM.

DAY 1 – Heather Cicio
DAY 2 – Sunday Barnaby
DAY 3 – Lisa Aguilar
DAY 4 – Amy White
DAY 5 – Melissa Berengue
DAY 6 – Jean Siska
DAY 7 – Rita Wray
DAY 8 – Deanna Sutherland

DAY 10 – Lisa Beatty Sargent
DAY 11 – Jess Blackcloud
DAY 12 – Amanda Wooten


Welcome to my annual 12 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS! 

If you’re new to this – here’s how it works:

1.   Each day from December 1 through December 12 I will put up a new giveaway HERE on my website with instructions on how to enter, a detailed description of the prize, and some stuff about the book or series. Each giveaway is different and each has ONE WINNER. MY GIVEAWAYS ARE ALWAYS OPEN INTERNATIONAL 

2.   Each giveaway runs UNTIL DECEMBER 13.

3.   Winners are CHOSEN and NOTIFIED on December 14. I will be notifying winners USING THE EMAIL USED TO COMMENT ON THIS BLOG – and all winners will BE LISTED AT THE TOP OF EACH GIVEAWAY POST HERE ON MY WEBSITE on December 14.

4.   Winners have 24 hours to respond, then another winner will be chosen.

5.   ALL PRIZES WILL BE MAILED ON DECEMBER 15.  If I’m waiting on a winner to respond and they miss the December 15 mail date, that prize will be mailed when I get around to it. I live in the middle of nowhere so a trip to the post office is a “thing” for me. 🙂 So make sure you’re checking for winners on the 14th.

6.   I will send newsletters announcing giveaways on December 1, December 6, December 12, and a Winner newsletter on December 14. I NEVER send this many newsletters in a month so sorry if that feels spammy. 

7.   You can also FOLLOW MY BLOG. I will also make a blog post HERE announcing ALL WINNERS on the 14th. If you want to follow this blog there will be a form at the bottom of each post to do that. Then you get an email when I POST HERE. I don’t do that often – December is the exception because of the 12 Days and my yearly “Wrap-up” post.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.

THAT’S IT! I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS!

The world is INSANE right now so I’m just trying to spread some cheer and give back to all of you who support me and enjoy the stories I create.

NOW LET’S GET ON TO THE FIRST GIVEAWAY!

TODAY’S BOOK HIGHLIGHT IS CREEPING BEAUTIFUL SERIES!

McKAY
I wasn’t the one who broke her but I played my part.
She came to us when she was ten. I raised her. I loved her.
I taught her how to survive in a world of evil men.
But it wasn’t enough.
 

ADAM
I wasn’t the one who saved her but I did my best.
She needed me as much as I needed her.
Bought and paid for on the auction block.
But not for the reasons you think.
She was my weapon.
 

DONOVAN
I wasn’t the one who lied to her but I hid her truth.
She was broken before I got there.
Wild and angry. Defiant and bratty.
But she trusted me most.
She loved me best.
So I set her free.

Indie Anna Accorsi is a woman lost in her past.
A pretty little nightmare.
A gorgeous piece of misery.
A mess of lovely darkness.
She is creeping beautiful.
And now we want her back.

WHAT WAS YOUR BEST MOMENT IN 2022?

I bought my first horse. I actually bought two. I’ve been riding horses since I was four years old. I’ve owned donkeys for almost fifteen years. I’ve done the whole show jumping thing and I even majored in equine science in undergrad. I literally took show jumping as an elective in college. But this was the first year, of all my MANY years 🙂 , that I have owned my own horses. They are in my backyard. Actually, they’re in the front right now. But not a day goes by that I don’t walk by a window and see them outside. I love them! So that was a really cool thing that happened this year.

 


AND HERE is a sneak peek of tomorrow’s giveaway!

      I’m leaving Saturday to visit my daughter for 3 weeks, in Florida. I been there 5 times this year. But, my favorite memories are getting up early going to watch Sunrise. We sit and drink our Starbucks. Lol
      It’s magical, just being there as the sun crests the ocean. The colors of the sky. The beauty of a new day. Then take a deep breath. It’s magical. Enjoying that moment with my daughter. No matter how many Sunrises we watch. While watching its just peaceful. That moment. That joy. That’s us. 29 years and hopefully many more…

    I can’t specify a specific day, but I’ve recently come to realize that my new-ish dog is going to turn into a great little dog. Her predecessor was an absolute flake, so this is a very, very welcome feeling. Two dogs before her was what some call my “heart dog”, who was one of the all time best dogs in history.

    My 82 year old dad had a heart attack in Oct. Through the testing they did for his heart they found a cancerous tumor on his left lung. We were devastated. The docs put 5 stents in his heart. Then we got the best news ever. The cancer is stage 2 and the prognosis after treatment is very good. It sounds crazy to say this is the best thing to happen to me in 2022 but without the heart attack they would not have found the cancer til it was very difficult to treat and the prognosis would not be good. We are calling it a miracle.

I brought my work bestie along(she was fired too). The best part is they are based in Colorado and are flying both of us out there for the week after Christmas.

    Best moments in 2022! I got to see Reba in Concert in February , that’s was the tickets I got last year for Christmas. Then for my Birthday my husband got tickets to see Garth Brooks. I won two tickets from the radio station to see Garth so I got to give them as an early birthday present to my sons best friend and her mom. I got to share her first concert with her. It was a pretty good year considering I injured myself at work, had to have surgery, physical therapy, and sat at a desk (which I am not used to). Usually I am on my feet all day rooming and taking care of my patients.

    Having hair again. I had decided on New Years Eve that I didn’t want to watch my hair fall out slowly so since I lost a fistful of hair that night and I still had two more months of treatments I decided to “one and done it” and I was rocking that bald head. Until about mid April it didn’t really start to grow back. I now have about 4 inches again, though still a long way to go until it’s down past my waist again. I am just grateful to be here today.

    Easy to answer this one. One of my 3 cats, Skittles, knocked out the screen window and ran off back at the end of August. A full week of papering telephone poles and dropping fliers in mailboxes, spending countless hours walking a half-mile radius of the house, calling out pathetically for the silly cat to just… run up to me and jump into my outstretched arms as if that’s a thing missing cats do. But hey, heartbreak makes you do and hope for impossible things. Anyway, after a full week of this, I’m standing at my kitchen window one morning, getting breakfast ready for the sweet group of homeless neighborhood cats that I feed twice each day (and house in heated dog houses in the winter), and I look out past my deck toward my shed, and there’s little Skittles… his black and white head peeking out from under the shed, shaking and meowing pathetically (I just know he was calling “Mom, Mom, Mommy!” in his own little squeaky meows), and I ran out back with my arms outstretched and he came running up to me for that previously mocked at impossible reunion. Yep. True story. But BEST moment of 2022 without question!

    My best moment of the dumpster fire that has been 2022 was when my husband’s surgeon told me that they will be able to save his leg and he will be able to walk again. Since March, we have been dealing with the fact that my husband got an infection in his heel, which lead to gangrene, strep and staph infections in his heel and Achilles tendon. After one botched surgery and a very scary trip to the ER, we switched surgeons and hospitals and finally had competent professionals who were more invested in finding the best form of care for my husband so that he will have the best quality of life going forward. After seven surgeries (including the removal of his Achilles tendon) and three skin grafts, my husband is on his way to recovery- with both legs intact.

    I’ve been in constant pain for years and tried everything. This is going to sound stupid but I saw an ad on fb for tourmaline socks. Apparently they help with edema, neuropathy weight loss and pain, Well I bought a few pairs, mainly because I wanted to see if it would help the swelling in my feet, and yes I know I was living in hope.
    Anyway they arrived and after a few days I thought yep I was stupid. Decided to wear them a little bit longer and after using them for a week I realised I was getting out of bed with no aches and pains. I wasn’t in constant agony anymore. Sure there was still pain but probably more like a 3 than a 10. So I now call them my magic socks.

    It’s been a busy and stressful year, so I surprised my husband with an overnight trip to see The Big House Allman Brothers museum in Macon and dinner at the Rookery. Super chill and the first time for both of us, and not packed with too many activities. Just a quick trip to get out of town, take it slow and relax for 24 hours. After dinner, we sat in the parking lot of the hotel and had a few drinks and listened to music, talked, and laughed like teenagers. My favorite moment of 2022! 🥰

    I love your horses and Blue. 😂 My best moment of 2022 was the realization that we’re the creator of our reality. Our outer world is a reflection of our inner world. It’s a mirrored reality. If I don’t like seeing what’s in the mirror, change my inner world (my thoughts, beliefs, assumptions, etc). Quantum physics is proving that the law of assumption is true. We live in the Matrix. I can go on and on about this shit, but it’s pretty deep-ass shit and most people don’t want to hear about it. Anyway, I’m still working on my self-concept, getting rid of the habitual self, etc., but I’ve proved to myself this shit that Neville Goddard and other people from the past has said and taught are fucking right. So yeah, that’s been the coolest thing that happened to me this year (so far). 😊

I got to have a lovely 2 week vacation and come home to a brand new company pick up. I’ve put in my time with this company for years, and I have to say it feels good to be appreciated.

    My greatest moment was more of a revelation that came from my worst moment. I had an accident while vacationing out of the country that resulted in 3 fractured bones in my ankle. 5 days abroad in a wheelchair, the long trip home, surgery being delayed 2 weeks for the swelling to go down, and 8 weeks of being non-weight bearing before I could even start PT was rough. But through that all my husband of almost 30 years was an absolute rockstar. He just took care of everything that needed done without a single complaint or even grumble of frustration. Seeing firsthand how loved I am, when definitely at my worst, made me really appreciate the blessings in my life.

    Probably when it came time for raises at work. Last year was hard for our company…it’s nice that management recognized that when considering reviews. We did a lot of extra work because, like every other company, we struggled to fully staff three shifts. It was nice to hear that my boss was truly grateful for the job I was doing and that he truly liked working with me. I’ve been with the same company for 18 years and have never had that great of a review. Companies sometimes forget that employees need to hear when they’re doing well and not just when they’ve done wrong. It felt amazing to be appreciated.

    Thankfully I had a lot of great moments in 2022. One of my best involves a foster dog that we took in. We have fostered many dogs, she was the 10th we had fostered. She was only 3 weeks old and was extremely sick. She had severe pneumonia as well as being unable to nurse. She was relinquished by the breeder to the rescue. They handed her to me with an ominous warning….3 different vets has said to our her down but we want to give her a chance. They assumed she had many underlying unknown health issues and figured she wasn’t going to survive. Well…after 5 weeks living in a homemade oxygen chamber, round the clock syringe feedings, and lots and lots of love…she made it! And then she was adopted BY US! She was our first “foster fail”. She is going to have her first birthday soon. We are blessed.

Some friends walked for me, donated money or did both. Ultimately we raised more money than we had in previous years. My personal goal for the event is to bring awareness to the public what a life changing disease this is that has no cure and the activity did that.

One of the days we were on the island of Capri and my son doesn’t like smaller boats so we were on the island by ourselves while the rest of the group took a boat tour. We got to spend the day together just the two of us, taking pictures and making memories in a beautiful place while in the middle of a fabulous trip. I will cherish that time always.

I didn’t even realize how conditioned I had become to being micromanaged and controlled until I woke up one day and realized that my life wasn’t my own anymore. This new transition has me relearning and allowing my muscle memory reflexes to kick back in.

    My best moment of 2022 was going on vacation with the family and just totally being relaxed. It was a novelty because most times I don’t get to fully relax because it’s our vacation home so sometimes to cut back on the expenses I’ll cook a few meals and find something to do. This time around I did absolutely nothing. I ignored everything until when we ready to leave. It was truly refreshing and having both kids home from college for the summer was also a blessing

    Selling our former home in Pennsylvania after our kids moved into their own homes. We moved to Louisiana 3 yrs ago and the kids stayed in the old house until they could save money for their own homes. We were in that house for over 20 yrs. Such a relief to know we are done with that and our kids are happy with their new homes.

    Someone dropped a 10 week old puppy into my dads backyard this year, while that was a horrible thing to do, the best moment was when my dad realized he could keep her. I tried to find the owner by posting about her on all the lost dogs sites and facebook. We took her to the vet and she didn’t have a microchip. I started calling her by her now name and my dad was like “Well you named her, I can keep her now.” She is his best friend.

    My best moment of 2022 wasn’t about me, it was about my friend, her husband, and the baby that God blessed them with. My gf and her hubby lost a baby at 5mnths gestation several years ago. It destroyed them. Years later they decide to try again, but mother nature wasn’t accommodating. For years she cried on my shoulder about her “failures” and wanted to give up. We talked and talked, and talked some more. I told her to give up, to let nature do its thing. Well hell, 6 months later she was pregnant again! Although because of health reasons, the baby was born 5wks early, but healthy! Mom and baby boy made it through everything and they are both alive! Eli, the BLESSING that he is, is now 8mnths old and a happy chubby baby. I am in love with him! I declared myself his Aunty and I treat him like he’s my family. I love all 3 of them so much!

    So you see, it wasn’t exactly MY moment, but yet, it was. Knowing that they both lived and knowing that they finally have the baby that they always wanted, made my year one of the best years ever.

    Merry Christmas xoxo

Since my pool had no vegetation for them to eat, and the yard wasn’t that big, they walked away. Very cool experience!

I legit started crying, and then I post that shit on all over social media where I knew my old employer would see. I’ve always been a person who keeps their mouth shut and moves on, so when I could post that and the reasons why, it felt fucking good.

I was doing the job of 4 people, they kept laying people and expecting people to work 12-14 hour days. God intervened, and I am doing so much better. Now I’ve been given more time for my health, my family, my sanity, and to take a class I have wanted to take for 15 years. I am super excited for the next steps on the path that God has for me. 😊🙏🏻❤️🎉

    The best moment came from all the kind people who helped us when we lost our home. Due to the new rent ordinance, our landlady couldn’t afford the upgrades that would allow us to stay at our old place and she gave us six weeks to move out. For six months we were homeless and would’ve been living in a tent at a campsite that we had found if not for the kindness of my daughter’s school. My husband is a three time cancer survivor but he continues to have complications so my daughter’s teacher started a fundraiser as she knew practically all of our money went to medical bills. Staff at her school were keeping an ear out as well as our friends and even our employers. And the kindest act ever was when two of the teachers took us in as they had two empty rooms. Eventually, a friend of a friend let us know about an apartment for rent and after getting everything settled, we finally had a home again! It was a very difficult time, my daughter lost the only home that she had ever known, but we made it through and it only brought us closer together. The acts of those people redeemed my faith when everything felt lost. I will never forget this year or the moment we realized that we had a new home.

    2022 was a quiet year for my family, but I think the best thing that happened was that God blessed us by helping each of us recover a few weeks ago when we all came down sick. My father actually got Covid while the rest of us just had the nastiest case of cough/ sore throat that we’d ever had. Thankfully, my mom kicked it very quickly. Then we found out my father had Covid so we isolated him in his own area of the house. My grandfather was extremely bad, but once we got him Theraflu he recovered within days! I had a horrible cough for about four weeks that I could not shake but finally did. We were extremely lucky/ blessed that my father was the only one who got Covid and even more blessed that he’s feeling much better! God willing that’s all over.

    I finally got out west and was able to hike the rim of the Grand Canyon with my family. It took a lot of planning, coordinating, and some serious saving for our budget road trip but it was so worth it (okay, maybe not the car camping we had to do on two nights, we discovered that you DO use up the air in the car if you don’t crack the windows…). Seeing the sun rise over the canyon with my husband and our kids was pretty awesome.

    First, I really liked seeing the pictures of your horses, they are gorgeous. My cousin’s family lives on a ranch, and they raise horses, I love to go out to the arena to watch them ride. I’m not inclined to get on one though.

    I spent some time thinking about my best moment of 2022, luckily, I had lots to choose from. We went to a family wedding this summer in our hometown. It was so much fun to catch up with generations of my family that I haven’t seen in a really long time. We planned the trip to spend a week seeing friends and family that we haven’t seen in person since 2018. Lots of catching up over good food and great company. We hit all of our old haunts and ate all of our favorite regional foods. It was a great week.

He is autistic and doesnt really want to be at school. but this year his cousin is also at this school and he is making a ton of friends. I am so happy to see him put himself out there to meet new people. Just having his cousin there has been a blessing. But he is playing with a ton of other kids even when his cousin is out sick.

I travelled to China in September 2020 and returned home in March 2021, then travelled back to work again August 2021 and returned hom April 2022, then travelled to China again in August 2022 and returned on 3 December 2022.
    During my 2020/2021 stint my husband got COVID on 20 December and I had to arrange a home care nurse to look after my kids (4&6 at that time).
    I missed 2 Christmases, 2 new years celebrations, 2 of my husband’s birthdays (including his 40th) and my oldest first day of grade 1 in this last 2 years.
    Today I am on a surprise holiday with my kids after arriving at home a week ago as a surprise as well. We have plans to spent Christmas with my extended family! I have planned a big birthday party for myself and my husband in January and I will be able to witness my youngest daughter’s first day of school. 2022 is good!

    My best moment of 2022 was meeting a softball mom who changed my life. I was overweight, depressed and didn’t have a lot of friends. She owns 2 nutrition clubs and I starting going and just talking with her. We clicked instantly and became good friends. I started using the products and started losing weight, my depression was fading and I made new friends. Now I work at the clubs and also have become a distributor for the Herbalife products used there. Thank goodness for softball!

    My best moment this year was a compilation of events with my oldest son. He graduated high school in May as Valedictorian. I didn’t think he would do well with his speech, because he is not social or a good public speaker, but he did really well. Then, he went to college and received several scholarships and admitted to the honors program.

    After years of doing ancestry dna research I thought I’d finally found the sur name of my biological father and where to find the tombstone of my grand parents and three of their sons. So I took the hour and a half drive through the country to the small church side cemetery, hoping to compare the dates of the lives and deaths of the three sons.. maybe one of them was my father..
    I found myself praying at the headstone of my grand parents.. like a nut.. I introduced myself to them told them about myself and my family and begged them to show me a sign or point me in the right direction if they had any ability to do so. I was a hot sticky midmorning so when I got back to the car I wanted to cool off in the ac before hitting the road while cooling off I remembered there was another name in the family I wanted to look up. This name had popped up in the recently released census info from the 1940’s. So I googled it while cooling off in the cemetery parking lot. Turned out the man I googled lived right around the corner from where I was … I shot you not !!! I drove by just to take a look.. thinking at least I could see where my people were from, there was a man waving from the porch, I call it the country wave, anyway deciding he looked friendly I decided to see if he might be able to tell me something about the family I was looking into. As our conversation began, he started to glow.. seriously.. I’ve never seen such a thing.. my husband could see it from the car.. he ask for my mothers name then told me he used to work with her, lol, he said “yeah, I know her” I said “umm how weelll did you know her?” He gives me this huge grin while spreading his arms wide open to embrace me and says” come here kid, it’s me, I’m your father, I’m so glad you’re hear, that you found me!”
    Cue the endless tears and hugs!!

    It hasn’t been a great year, but probably when it became real that my son got into a really good college. I mean, he got accepted into all the schools he applied to, but when he got the letter for the one he really wanted to go to, it was awesome. But it didn’t feel real until we went to orientation and had to drive halfway across the state and I cried when I had to leave him there overnight. We see the school merch in local stores, so my daughter and I still say, ‘hey, we know someone who goes there’.

    We have sort of gotten used to him going there and what he studies, but when we tell people and they are like ‘whoa, that’s super hard’, then we have to be like yeah, that is hard, Ethan is awesome, and spoil him extra hard when he comes home for the weekend. It’s still hard having him so far away, then he tells us about various crimes that are happening around the campus because it is an open campus or when something really funny happens at home and he’s not here. But I know it will be worth it in three and a half years. I’ve just got to get through them.

Then my mom had to go to a nursing home and he legally owned her home and moved someone in he knew she hated. He never told me and then gave me two weeks to remove all her stuff or he was throwing it out. He blamed me for the fallout because he said I did know but I did not. Anyway he texted me on my birthday this year out of the blue. It was nice.

We ended up being stranded overnight due to flooding. Luckily we have a small camper we stay in sometimes and stock with some essentials. We had an impromptu getaway and our teenagers had to fend for themselves in town alone. Not only was it kind of exciting but we got some beautiful pictures that day and a happy memory.

    It was a crazy year in my house. The kids are trying to get life going after all the COVID stops in their life. My youngest struggled a lot these last few years. No grad no 18th birthday and his job was in a gym which of course closed and was his release. My other son in school in another city was doing classes online which for him was difficult. We decided to try and fulfill a life long dream and we made it to Mexico for the Day of the Dead. I painted our faces we took in the culture and we truly had an amazing family adventure which was worth the expense to finally try to get them going into their new adventures. We all want what’s best for our children and hope that we’re doing well by them. Thank you so much for the probing questions that makes us think about the most positive things in life and what truly matters. Wishing you and yours the most incredible holiday season and a very Merry Christmas ❤️📚🎄

I never buy cars just to buy them. I drive my cars until the wheels fall off! But I never stopped thinking about that car. This past April it was time for a replacement.

    Early in 2022, my precious baby girl Dixie (my 12 year old Beagle) was in so much pain that she wasn’t getting up unless we carried her outside to go to the bathroom. She was scheduled to be euthanized… I don’t know how I got so lucky, but I got a miracle the very next day when she started getting up on her own again!! Needless to say, I canceled her euthanasia appointment, & 6 months later, she was back to going on hour long walks! She is still alive today, struggling with cancer, liver disease, hypothyroid, degenerative disc disease, chronic ear infections and something new, bothering her stomach area that I am taking her to the veterinarian about today, but she is happy. And as long as she remains happy and comfortable, I will enjoy every second with her until she’s ready to say goodbye for real!

    My year of 2022 has been mostly about business. I am a self-employed photographic artist, contracting is too left-brained for me…but I’m back on GSA and that enabled me to continue a 16-year project doing art for our US Army medical center at Landstuhl GE, I’m about to be the only artist approved to sell to the VHA, and if all goes well, I’ll have the funds to be able to be back out seeing the world now that (hopefully) the pandemic crisis abates. The best thing about 2022 is being able to lay the groundwork that will let me see the world again. That, my darling (adult) son, feeding the critters (possums, raccoons, skunks and our Kitty!) that came when the world got quiet during the lockdown. Not much cuter than a raccoon gently taking a grape, fingers-to-paws).

    The best thing in 2022, hmm… My husband turned 70 and retired in August. I kind of followed along, but detoured and opened a leather shop, buying all the equipment, tools, hardware and stuff from my former employer of 13 years. I’ve not had time, to work in it yet, as my sewing customers are still keeping me busy.

    I would say my best moment in 2022 was when we moved to California. My husband got a job there and had to start in May, but our 8 yr old son still had to finish up the school year until the middle of June. I stayed back with our son to finish school and my husband moved. For the first time in our 17 year marriage, we were apart. When school finished, that same weekend we flew out. Seeing my husband after so long and watching our son see his daddy again, after 7 weeks, was such an emotional thing. That was my best moment.

THE DANGER IN THE DAMAGE

A soldier searching for redemption.
A man addicted to control.
And the woman caught between them…

Ean Shephard knows trouble when he sees it and Olive Creed is the kind of trouble that can burn his whole world down. As Collin Creed’s baby sister, she’s completely off-limits. But her quiet strength, combined with her sad vulnerability, keeps pulling him closer. Shep came to Edge Security to escape his past, but falling for Olive could ruin his second chance and the fragile peace he’s fought so hard to find.

Brose Sinclair has always played the long game. He and Olive are more than just partners inside the shadow organization they both work for, they’re lovers. His absolute authority keeps her on track and Olive likes it that way. But her sudden attraction to their target threatens everything they’ve worked for and for the first time, Brose finds himself questioning whether control is enough to keep Olive by his side.

Olive Creed has spent her life learning to play her role perfectly. She can’t afford to mess up. Not with Brose watching her every move, looking for mistakes. Mistakes she sometimes makes on purpose just to spur on his titillating punishment. But as she starts to fall for her target and her world begins to crumble beneath her feet, Olive finds herself wondering—which one of these two men would truly be there in her darkest hour?

Brose—the one who owns her mind?

Or Shep—the one who wants her heart?

The Danger in the Damaged is a battlefield of betrayal and control, where loyalty is a weapon and obsession takes no prisoners. It’s a best-friend’s-little-sister romance caught in the crossfire of dark secrets and mind games—and this time, Collin Creed isn’t the one calling the shots.

Inside the pages you’ll find…

Enemies to Lovers
Best Friend’s Sister
Power Dynamics
Forbidden Love
Dark Protector
Forced Proximity
Possessive Love
Morally Gray Characters
Damaged Heroes
Redemption Arc
