If The Savior Stood Beside Me Novels & Stories

My wife Susan had the power to save lives, but when our son was rushed to the ICU and needed her help, she refused no matter how much I begged. While I was crying myself hoarse when I received news that our son was dead, I heard her purring over the phone, "Mark? Don't worry, your puppy's way more important. Of course I'll save it." There was a limit to her power that she could only use it once a month, but she nonchalantly used it for Mark's pet dog! Shaking with rage, I seized her by the collar and bellowed, "We're talking about a human life here, and your son at that! But an animal is worth more than that?!" Susan shook me off, smirking in disdain. "Mark has always been by himself—is there a problem that I took his side? And what could happen to our son when he has his daddy? Stop giving me that attitude!" Just two hours later, Mark posted on social media a photo of him with Susan kissing his pet dog together, with the smug caption: [Who had bet that a son matters more than a dog? Know when you're beaten. Now pay up!] So he had a bet with someone that Susan would choose his dog! Worst of all, Susan lovingly replied: [If Mark wants to win, I'll always be there for him.] Even as I felt heartrending pain, I was laughing coldly as I sent my own reply. [If you all love to bet so much, why not bet when you're gonna drop dead?]

Madeline Crawford gave Jeremy Whitman everything. Twelve years of love, loyalty, and quiet devotion, and he repaid her with a prison sentence she did not earn. She watched him fall in love with another woman through the cold glass of a window she was visiting. She swallowed her tears every single night in a six-by-eight cell. She learned, slowly and painfully, how to rebuild herself from nothing. Five years later, she walks back through Havenport's gilded doors not as the broken girl Jeremy once discarded, but as a woman the city will not soon forget. She has money now. Connections. A plan. And a rage so cold and precise it could cut glass. She is going to ruin every single person who helped put her there, starting with Jeremy Whitman himself. But then something goes wrong. Jeremy stops being the enemy she remembers. He becomes something far more dangerous: a man who is sorry. A man who is fighting for her. A man who, in front of the entire city, drops to his knees and kisses her feet and says, 'Madeline, I was wrong to love another. From now on, I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you.' And Madeline looks down at him and feels nothing she expected to feel. She says, 'I will only forgive you if you die.' What she does not say is this: she is not sure she means it anymore.

My father called me to his study to deliver an order. I, Victoria Castellano, was to take my illegitimate half-sister Isabella’s place, to marry the comatose heir of the rival Moretti family and secure a truce. I didn’t cry. I laid my kid gloves on his polished desk and made my three demands. Sever all ties. My mother’s entire legacy. And give my bodyguard, Nicholas, to Isabella. Everyone knew my obsession with him. I loved him until I overheard the truth. He was the hidden Rossi heir, undercover only to protect his precious Isabella. Every time he’d saved my life, he was just guarding his link to her. So I let him go. I won’t tell him I’m marrying someone else. And I’ll never tell him that three years ago, in Lake Tahoe’s freezing depths, the lips that breathed life back into a drowning man—the memory that haunts him—weren’t Isabella’s. They were mine.

Zarek has always understood his role, an Omega constrained by the unforgiving regulations of the Red Claw pack, merely a pawn in the manipulative games of ruthless Alphas who view him as nothing more than a means to an end. When he is handed over to Alpha Ryker, he is thrust into a tormenting nightmare of domination and suffering, compelled to accept a future he never desired. Everything shifts when Zarek’s true mate steps out from the darkness. Kaidon, a formidable Alpha from the Blood Moon pack, bursts into Zarek’s world, displacing Ryker and claiming him as his own. Zarek’s wolf detects a hint of hope, but the wounds of his past run too deep to easily overlook. Armed with Alpha Kaidon’s steadfast promise of safety, Zarek confronts a decision: to accept the bond that might liberate him, or to escape in order to safeguard the fragments of his broken heart. Still, shadows from both his history and the present refuse to release their grip, with threats lurking in every direction. In a realm where loyalty is scarce and power dictates fate, Zarek must discover his inner strength and learn what it genuinely means to be free. Will he allow Kaidon to be his redemption, or gamble everything to shatter the chains by himself?

Lara is the epitome of evil, the sign of destruction, she is a savior to one and destruction to the other.

When I was ten, Jonathan Cooper saved me and told me he would protect me for life. When I was 15, I met William Reed. He also told me he would protect me forever. Yet, the year I turned 23, the two men who swore to always keep me safe threw me into the ocean for the sake of their true love.

She was built to be a weapon. He was built to never need anyone. The Moon had other plans. Zara Ashcroft is the deadliest warrior in the Silverblood Pack — feared by enemies, trusted by few, and ruled by no one. She doesn't believe in fated mates. She doesn't believe in weakness. And she absolutely refuses to believe that the cold, ruthless Alpha sitting across the peace summit table is hers. Alpha Kade Voss of the Ironfang Pack has spent years turning himself into something no one dares to touch. He ended wars with a single decision. He buried his pain so deep even he forgot it was there. He never expected to feel the mate bond — and he never expected it to lead straight to the one woman who would rather put a blade through his chest than accept him. Two enemy packs. One undeniable bond. And two wolves too proud, too broken, and too dangerous to surrender. But the Moon doesn't negotiate. And neither does he. Deny Me If You Can is a slow-burn werewolf romance featuring an alpha hero, a warrior heroine, pack warfare, and a fated mate bond that neither of them asked for.

Jane lived her entire life in the shadows. All this time, she only knew how to bend her head down, to make sure she wouldn't offend anyone or caught eyes as she worked for her aunt and uncle as a laundry maid. Until one day she was kidnapped and sold. "Our young master is blind." the butler announced to her. "And he would need entertainment." "Entertainment...?" Was this a child? "Without entertainment... our young master could get violent." Jane turned stiff as she saw beyond the closed door, a face of a man who was smiling back at her with his gleaming platinum blond hair. The way he looked at her felt almost as if he could see her even though he's blind.

Love was never safe. But with him... it’s beautifully dangerous. Soren has never known peace—only pain. Abused by a father who broke him. Abandoned by a mother who vanished without a backward glance. And betrayed by the man he once called home. Now, he doesn’t believe in love. Doesn’t believe in rescue. He survives. That’s all. Then Travian enters his world. Cold eyes. Quiet power. A patience that feels like a threat. He doesn't ask for Soren’s trust—he claims it. Slowly. Roughly. Completely. Travian sees the fire beneath Soren’s scars. And he wants it all. But just as Soren begins to let him in, the past strikes back—vicious and unforgiving. Kidnapped. Caged. Forgotten. Soren is thrown into the hands of the monsters he thought he escaped. But Travian isn’t the type to walk away. He’ll rip through hell, drenched in blood, to bring Soren back. Because Travian doesn’t just want his heart. He wants his rage, his darkness, his surrender. And this time, love won’t save them. It’ll destroy everything in its path.
