Death by Desire: A Vampire-Lycan Love Story
Cora is unique among the vampires in Gray Vale. She is half fae. She has a beating heart. And she can bring life to the vampires around her, allowing them the ability to die when they desire it rather than being cursed with the same dreadful existence for eternity. Cora’s gift makes available this “death by desire” that is prized in the vampire world. Offering life to vampires is a beautiful gift, but it can also be used as a weapon. And that is what the royal family of vampires wishes to do. With no other choice, she must marry into the royal family for protection from those who are threatened by her ability. But when a “pet” lycan is gifted to her who is her true mate, will she find a way to break off the engagement, threatening her family and everyone else she loves in the process? Can her mate's lycan pack possibly win against the vampires who do not want to part with her? Or will they be forced apart? Published exclusively on Webnovel.

Gowns
Ekaterina was in Cora's room early with the new dresses she had designed for the coming days.
Cora's eyes were swollen from crying herself to sleep the previous night after Zane had left her room, and she had been fighting with herself all morning about whether or not he was actually right. Why did he have to put that doubt in her mind? She had been sure that her instincts were right to keep her heart going.
Was she being selfish? Was it actually the best thing to embrace this other side of her if it meant keeping herself safe and keeping her family from worrying about her?
"Miss Cora, are you all right?" Kat's eyes grew large when she saw how red and swollen Cora's face was.
"Yes, I'm okay," she smiled weakly. "It will go away."
Kat looked at her as if she did not believe it, but she wheeled in her long rack of gowns anyway for Cora to look at.
"I tried to keep in mind your style with what the Queen was asking of me," she said.
