If anyone wants to support this lil indie author (and get a free ebook out of it) I’m looking for Street Team members to help promote my upcoming lesbian dark fantasy romance, The Cost of Vices!

Happy #lesfic Friday! Here’s a little sneak peek into my new WIP, The Cost Of Vices, a dark fantasy romance!
The Cost Of Vices Lesfic Friday Laugh Bellamy pushed herself up on her elbows and looked at Vesper with that fucking smirk still firmly in place. “Are you mad that you can hate me this much and still can’t bring yourself to let me die? Or are you mad that this is turning you on?” Vesper sucked her teeth, trying to ignore Bellamy’s taunting tone. “Get. Out.” She growled, again. Bellamy laughed, a light, smug noise. “You could close that door, have your way with me, take out all that anger you’re holding in. Punish me for ruining your day. You know you want to, I’m helpless to stop you.”

Wars In Wonderland out in June 2025❤️🥰
Wars In Wonderland quote: She was relieved to find a real proper meal in front of her. Despite seeing the cooking happen, there was some part of her that wondered if she would have to subsist on bread and fruit while she was stuck in this world.  “Thank you. This looks amazing.” Alice praised, happily diving into her first bite of some type of fish on a bed of cooked vegetables with bread and jam on the side, and it was delicious.  “Cooking is my favorite human thing. It was one of the first things I really liked about them so I learned how to do it.”
