Everyone around me calls me a monster. I can’t say that I blame them, over the
years I was turned into one, into my worst nightmare – something that I tried
so hard not to become. What no one knows is what I had to go through, and I
doubt that they ever will.
Sure, I married a monster and maybe he did turn me into what I am today.
But sometimes I wonder….who really turned me into this foul being? My mother?
Or was it my husband?
Regardless, it doesn’t matter. I am what I am, and everyone hates me for it,
even my own brother and sister.
Here I am, thrown to the side of the road like a piece of trash – hurt by the
only person that I thought cared – Sergei. It turns out that he never did, or
maybe he only cared when it benefited him.
Now I’m trying to mend the only relationships that I can salvage, while trying
to protect my family from the war that is coming. Being a Petrov was never
easy, and it never will be.
When I travelled across the globe to Gainesville, Tennessee I expected to mend
a relationship with Dmitri and Ksenia. Instead, I began a relationship with
someone else, someone who is just as much of a monster as me. Only, no one else
knows that.
He’s opening up to me in ways that my husband never did and while our
relationship grows I only hope that I can keep everyone I love safe from the
fight that is waiting on our doorstep.
After all, Petrov’s survive – no matter what.
We always survive.

dreams. They wouldn’t stop.

There is
only one thing I love more than music, and that’s Gemma.

“Gemm-maaa.”
Hunter teased. “You were moaning and muttering our names in your slee-eeep.
Sounded hot. Want to tell us what you were dreaming about?”
Gemma’s
breath hitched, and her eyes shot open. Two pairs of eyes beamed down at
her—Hunter’s azure and Kyle’s espresso. Both guys had smiles as wide as the
Brooklyn Bridge. They exchanged a quick glance, then burst out laughing.
Shit.
“Did you
have a wet dream, Gem? About us?” Hunter bobbed his head in a slow, rhythmic
motion and gave her a you’ve-been-so-busted kind of grin.
Heat rushed
up Gemma’s neck. Knots clenched in her stomach.
They’d heard.
They’d
seen.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
She sat up,
tugging her bra back into place. Damn thing never stayed put. Not when she
barely filled an A-cup. “You wish,” she snapped, unable to look either of them
in the eye. “As if I’d ever have a dream, wet or otherwise, about you two
idiots. That would be more like a nightmare.”
But she was
lying. To herself. To Kyle and Hunter. Her two best friends in the world.
“Here. This
will help you wake up, if nothing else.” Kyle handed her a takeaway coffee.
“Latte, just the way you like it.”
Gemma took
a sip, savoring the dash of cinnamon topping. “Thanks.” But she was in more
need of a bucket of ice thrown over her right now than a hot, delicious,
belly-warming latte.
“Do you
need to go change your panties?” The glint in Hunter’s eyes sparkled.
“What?” She
threw him her most evil stare. “Don’t be ridiculous.” The guys could tease her
all they wanted. She wouldn’t let them get to her. It was just another stupid
dream.
“I could
help you if you want?” Hunter held out his hand, but she slapped it away.
Kyle
elbowed Hunter in the arm. “Okay, dude. Enough.”
Shaking her
head, she jumped to her feet. On her way past Hunter, she rammed her shoulder
into his arm and stormed out of the dressing room.
Chin up,
she strode along the concrete corridor and owned it like she was live on center
stage. There was no way she’d let the guys know her whole body was on fire.
Sipping on her latte, she attempted to wash away the images that flickered
through her mind. But it was impossible. With each step, her heart thudded,
causing the ache that resided there to flare. Each breath sent a shudder
through her entire system.
She had a
problem.
A huge
problem.
She’d tried
to suppress it, hide it, deny it for months, but it grew stronger and stronger every
day.
She was,
without a doubt, in love with Hunter.
But he was
a playboy. He’d never commit. She didn’t want to clock up another failed
relationship to rival her mother’s long list.
She
straightened her shoulders and kept putting one foot in front of the other. She
had one more show to get through, then she had two weeks’ vacation away from
the guys. Surely, time apart would put an end to her wild dreams.
The first
dream she’d had about Hunter had been funny, the next few rattling, but after
four months of them occurring every few days, enough was enough.
There would
be no more fantasies involving him. No more ogling. No more dreaming about his
hot body, kisses, and oh, the sex. No more concocting what-if scenarios.
Because music was all that mattered. With a new record to work on and a fully
booked schedule, she wouldn’t gamble with the dynamic bond she shared with the
guys. Their journey to fame had bound them together. She wasn’t going to fuck
that up for anyone or anything. Not even her heart.
She had to
fix this.
It was
driving her crazy.
Hiding her
feelings for Hunter had become an exhausting obsession. She had to find a way
to stamp them out. Because she remembered all too well what it was like to be
hurt, betrayed, and let down. First, by her father, then her ex-boyfriend, and
always, always, always, her mother.

What do you hope readers take with them after they’ve read [The Battle is O'er]?
I hope they’ll feel as if they walked beside Shawn and Niall for a time, and all the rest in the story, that the inhabitants of the Blue Bells world have become people they knew and cared about. And many readers seem to very much feel that way. I hope they’ll carry with them the beautiful story of a man who recognizes his flaws and makes a decision to turn himself around. I hope they’ll remember the humorous moments and the poignant moments and smile long after the book is closed.
"...I enjoyed every bit of plot that I read and could take the storyline seriously. . . . I would recommend this to lovers of fantasy novels, and now-complete series with complex storylines, characters, and worldbuilding."
Clive moved in silence beside him for a time, flashing his light around the cells that opened on their right, and down another passage. “That one comes to a dead end,” Shawn said. “I’ll take a look. Stay here. Be ready for anything.” He followed the passage, quickly, his mind on Niall. His brother would be searching too, neither of them knowing if Simon had crossed or not. He hoped Niall would be okay—not ambushed by Simon. He hoped he wouldn’t be ambushed himself, nor Clive, nor the chief. He doubted they could take on a medieval knight with years of brutal warfare under his belt.
Yes, Let’s Go Back to the Old Couple Inverness, Present “So you want to tell me where you were for a year?” his mother asked. “I’ve given you plenty of space, but I’ve waited long enough and I think you owe me some answers.” Shawn stared into the fire. “An old couple in the west of Scotland?” Carol snorted. “One of many stories you’ve told. if it were true, you’d have said so from the start.” He took another long drink, letting the tea thaw out his insides. “What has Amy told you?” Carol shook her head. “Nothing I can make sense of. A ring from Robert the Bruce. You turned up in the tower of Glenmirril. None of it makes sense.” Shawn set the tea mug down, rose, and lifted the linen shirt made by Christina, revealing the scar.
Simon Arrives at Claverock Claverock Castle, Northumbria, December 1317 Simon stared up with pride at the great stone walls of Claverock, at his banners snapping on its towers. His steward had kept the place up. It was all worth it, he thought. He drew breath. This was his moment! “Open the gates!” he bellowed up at his towers. “Your Lord of Claverock is home!” Men looked down from the walls above the gatehouse. One pointed and shouted. Two ran, and soon the portcullis creaked, lifting. His steward raced through, falling to one knee, as he cried, “My Lord! My Lord, is it really you? We thought you dead, my Lord!”
Niall and Company Meet Christina Coming Home Scottish Highlands, December 1317 They were two days into the ride, when a scout came racing back to them, spurring his garron. “Lochmaben ahead!” he shouted joyfully. “Milady Christina rides with them!” Cheers rose from the men of Glenmirril. Relief washed through Niall. Their ruse with James Angus had not entirely silenced the whispers, though Margaret had been stalwart in looking down her nose at those who did so, reprimanding them and silencing them. He was grateful the rumors had not diminished the love of the people of Glenmirril for Christina.
Niall Meets Joan Creagsmalan, Southwest Scotland, January 1318 Niall waited in the hills outside Creagsmalan as Conal, Lachlan, and Owen rode in. He and Hugh sat on a pair of boulders, watching sunrise spill light over the water beyond the town. “Are ye sure she’ll believe it?” Hugh’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed. “Surely she knows the Bruce will not return his lands until he swears fealty.” “Hope,” Niall said. “She wishes to believe it. Moreover, Bruce is known for mercy. She will count on that, for she does not wish to leave Scotland.”
Angus Warns Shawn “Sit down. We need to talk.” Angus’s voice snapped Shawn’s attention back to the hospital room. Angus sat in a wheelchair by the hospital window, wearing jeans and a heavy fisherman’s sweater, a book in his hand. He laid it down on his lap. “You’re up!” Shawn stopped in the doorway, feigning energy. In truth, he’d had multiple late nights, on top of a heavy load of arranging for the album Ben wanted out yesterday. He wanted nothing more than to be in bed, asleep. But when he collapsed in bed, he turned and rolled restlessly through the dark hours with nightmares—if he slept at all. “Shut the door.”
"I found the novel to have an interesting premise with realistic characters and development. I like that the story was told from the past, future, and present. Overall, it was an interesting book..."
Simon Meets Eamonn Again “Good to go home to your young bride, eh?” The man gave a wink as he waved for a stable boy. Simon grinned. It felt odd and light on his face. Smiles, in his experience, had always been a deliberate tensing of muscles. This time, his features moved on their own, without his will, and his heart lifted, too. “Cat’s got your tongue,” the man laughed. “She must be a fair delight to the eyes!” He slapped his horse on the rump and melted into the crowd, leaving Simon alone and feeling foolish in the midst of the courtyard, as more men poured through the gates.
Amy Sees the Pool He mentioned it as we entered his foyer. “By the way, I put in a pool.” A pool in the yard, I thought, a small pool or a hot tub on the deck. But this—this is beyond what anyone would conceive from, “by the way, I put in a pool.” I stand on the terrace where Shawn loved to barbecue. Black velvet sky shows overhead. Starlight shines down—but now it pours through a glass ceiling. I catch my breath as I take it in—on my right, a room like a medieval castle vault; stone walls with Gothic arches at intervals, alternating between windows of leaded glass and stone niches framing….“Sconces,” I breathe. “You put in sconces.” “They’re electric,” he says defensively. And then, with the child-like joy I loved, the innocent joy that made me believe his public self was the facade: “You like it?”
Beatrice and Simon Northumbria, England, 1318 Beatrice’s head shot up as the door burst open, yanking back from her husband’s embrace. “Sir Kenrick....” The guard, Erol, stumbled to his knees, shoved by a man in chain mail. “Lord Claverock!” Kenrick jumped forward, reaching to help his man up off the floor as he said, “Why did you not send word you were coming? I’d have met you in the hall.” Beatrice backed up, gripping her shift close as she studied her cousin. She’d not seen him in years, not since he’d been a vile boy, dropping spiders in her hair. The malice in his eyes had not changed.
"The Battle is O'er blends the excitement of a modern thriller, with the immersive details of the best historical fiction. Vosika clearly shows her writing chops here, drawing her story forward with a cast of colorful and relatable characters living through extraordinary circumstances. I'd highly recommend this to fans of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series."
Escaping the Bishop’s Palace Linstock, 1318 “Is he dead?” Lachlan whispered, looking at the man on the frosty ground. Owen shook his head, working at the bolts on the huge doors. “A potion is all. He’ll appear to have fallen asleep at his post.” At the same moment, they heard a shout from the courtyard. Owen eased the door open a crack. They slipped through, onto the dock that ran alongside the castle wall and pulled the door shut behind them. Lachlan scanned the river, whispering, “Conal!” His breath hung in the air.

He wrestles with a prophecy and an ancient letter that never changes, a letter that details the fate of his own son, if he cannot stop it—and possibly the fate of the world itself, as he learns of Simon Beaumont’s plan to use his knowledge of the future to destroy it.
Shawn’s selfishness once cost him everything. His newfound selflessness may do the same.

Two professional matchmakers. One fake relationship. He's a playboy. She's a good girl. What could possibly go wrong?
According to Binary Search's matchmaking service, Meg and Zander's odds of ever having a successful relationship are statistically improbable. Meg has run the numbers and knows the probability, but for some reason she can't quit thinking about her coworker, Zander--the self-proclaimed eternal bachelor.
To make matters more interesting, Zander approaches her with an unusual proposition. He's in need of a pretend girlfriend. Meg thinks this could be the answer to get him out of her system,and maybe knock the arrogant man down a few notches in the process. But what she doesn't realize is there is more to this man, something he carefully hides behind his arrogant exterior. And when her feelings begin to be anything but pretend, she knows the odds of getting hurt are more than probable.
Will they let the odds over come them, or will they find that all the reasons they are wrong for each other are exactly what make them a perfect fit?

Teegan guards dark secrets and doesn’t believe she’s worthy of Gerard’s protection. While one wolf wants to save her another ruthless Alpha, Kano Hok’ee, has laid claim to her.

When Jonas’s reckoning comes, he must go to land during the cycle of the full moon. But when the next cycle comes around, he doesn’t return. Fearing what might have become of him, Adelaide follows and gains legs for herself. But living life as a human is much more difficult than she imagined. And finding Jonas is just as hard.

As a girl, she was chosen by the death dog. In one week, she lost everything. Her parents, her brother. Even her community of shifters shunned the power she sheltered.
She swore she’d never return to their prejudiced hatred, but when her uncle dies, Ripley is called back to Troutdale to settle his affairs. She thinks she can get in and get out unaffected, but Joe Elliott has other ideas.
He needs her, and it’s not in all the old ways her body remembers so well.
His twin brother has been bitten by a rabid wolf, and as the death glow overwhelms the town, Ripley’s padfoot gift explodes into the curse she’s always feared.
Ripley owes these people nothing after the way they’ve treated her. But that’s the thing with gifts. Sometimes they cost more to ignore. Love is only one save-of-the-day away.
For The last year w have been dealing with the world of food allergies. We found out last September that my oldest son had a severe dairy allergy along with alot of outdoor allergis. Armed with an pi pen we startd to navigate this world. Next thing I know he starts reacting to things left and right. Now he is no peanuts, almonds, cashews, gluten, corn, dairy and peaches.
To add my 3rd child ( he is almost 6), gets severe migraines. After a few appoinments we found out that any dairy, gluten, msg, strawberris and nitrates are his triggers. If he has any of these, and we don't catch it with medicine fast, he is laid out for at least a day with a migriane.
I found out i have a mild dairy allergy and gluteen intolerances, as well as the msg, sulfaties and nitrates that trigger migrains.
So its been rough. My oldest just wants to be normal and eat like everyone else. So I try very hard to make foods for our family that he can eat to.
WHich brings me to the Tiramisu. I love baking and watching The Great British Bake Off. Its so awesome. My husband happens to love deserets, so it works well. I stopped baking for awhile dealing with all these changes.
A couple days ago we saw and pisode where they made a Tiramisu cake and I knew I had to mak it for my husbnd (his favorite desert besides pumpkin pie). After alot of research I found a sponge recipe and realized that I would have to make my own cream recipe.
So this is the Gluten Free Victorian Sponge Cake. I used soy mild and a gluten free flour blend I make. I also made it in a baking sheet since I needed to make layers
The sponge cut into 4 pieces for the layers
For the cream I could not find anything that didnt us nuts in some way. So i combined a bunch of different ones and tweaked it.
"Mascarpone" Cheese
16 oz Firm Tofu
2 tsp Nutritional yeast
4 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp powder sugar
3/4 cup non dairy milk (I used soy because thats what I had)
I broke up the Tofu and put in my nut milk bag to squeeze out the water. You can use cheese cloth or a dish towel. Then I added eveything to the blender and bleneded until smooth. I had to scrape it down a few times. If I had a food processor I woufl have used that.
Next thing I did was make some coconut whipped cream. I took 2 cans of cocont milk and put them in the fridge. After a few hours I opened the can and then scraped off the cream. I beat it with my hand mixer until it was whipped cream.
After I had the cream and cheese done, i mixed them together.
Then I started assembling. It went like this;
Put sponge down
Brush coffee on the sponge ( I used Cafe Bustelo coffee I had brewed and chilled in the fridge)
Then the Cream/cheese mix on the sponge
Then some dark chocolate shavings ( I used enjoy life dark chocolate)
Repeat with the rest of the sponge
On the top You put the coffee on the sponge and do a crumb coat with the cream/cheese mix. Then add more of the mix and top with cocoa powder.
Not the prettiest but dang tasty lol.
For next time I wont be making the coconut whipped cream because of the coconut taste.
Also making sure the chocolate pieces are smaller and more coffee on all the sponge layer.
He is my non food allergy hubby eating his second piece for breakfast. He said it was really good for being allergy friendly.
