Ever heard of a 'Fahrenheit 451' fireman? 🔥 What happens when the service officers are hired to start fires instead of putting them out? 🧨 Cassein was a fire-based shifter just trying to get through the day-to-day. 🐦‍🔥 Now he's trying another way to fight. 📚 buff.ly/TNXZBdD #burnitdown #lightitup #tbr

My short story called "Once Burned" sets a man out to set fire with fire. Image of fire gloves on burning black canvas.

The door to your closet slowly creaks open...are you sure the heater did that? Somebody's watching you. You have something they want. What do you do? A) Give it to them. Go away! B) Start fighting...Did my fist just pass through?! C) Bargain: You look like you could do something for me. #bogey #tbr

#AITA: Is Zaina in the wrong for snagging a man away from his lusty lackeys who got there first? 🫣❤️‍🔥 Or does the hero need to be rescued whether he knows it or not? 🤨 Find out in Quench to the Hilt. 📚 #spicyreads #rescuethehero #saveme #eroticfantasy #Romantasy #fantasyharem #pricedrop mybook.to/lp69

"AITA for doping a swordsman into giving a grease monkey like me the sword he keeps in his pants, instead of delivering it as promised to his two needy, delusional travel companions? I'm a blacksmith, after all. Pounding swords is my thing. And I'm pretty sure I'm better company than an assassin, even if I sweat red." Read Quench to the Hilt for $2.99 for a limited time.
