This collection is actually 4 separate short stories, written to both shock and entice...all wrapped into one novel. I would be honored to have this work considered for the Just Write It: 8-Chapter Challenge! :) (brief summary of each short story down below!!) Each story has 4 parts each that includes tales of passionate and terrifying lust with themes of horror, death and betrayal. These stories are not directly intertwined so can be read separately or out of order, but no matter how you decide to read them I'm just so so unbelievably grateful that you've decided to!! Thank you!:) -A Mind Not My Own: Adriel wakes up locked in a room with no memory of how she got there. Who is the person on the other side of the door? -Visitant: Sabrina loses the love of her life in a horrible tragedy and refuses to let him go. Will Matteo come back to her or has she lost him for good? -Beneath the Waves: A stunning merman, Edin, approaches Ivi at her secluded, hidden beach. Will Ivi face her fear of water and finally find love with this beautiful, mythical creature? -Fang Marks: Jacob is regularly visited by an enticing and mysterious vampire, Luna, who comes to his bedroom every night. Is she there for love or to bleed Jacob dry?
