I originally put this story on here around 7 years ago but I have made a lot of updates to it, so decided to republish. Enjoy!

This is the third and final part of the Confounded Trilogy, portraying a May - December story with familiar characters.

You would be wise to (re)read the previous parts of this trilogy, to get reacquainted with the characters; some you will know, some are new. Some references will hark back to previous writings, and will make more sense. This story is told from perspectives, so called Points of View (POV).

A spoiled princess, a dragon with zero patience, and a sorcerer who just wants to read his gardening books in peace—it's a classic fairy tale setup. Until a handsome knight storms the tower, ready to fight for true love. The princess has her bags packed, the dragon is rolling his eyes, and absolutely no one is prepared for what happens next.

A broken law student. A traumatized teen. A high-stakes infiltration of a corrupt firm.

Andrew infiltrates Gable Strathmore & Pierce to bring down the man who enabled his foster son’s abuser. But Jason is being seduced by a conversion therapist—and the firm is photographing every secret. When Andrew’s ex, Will, gets caught in the crossfire, their reunion becomes their last chance to save their found family before Merrick’s trap snaps shut.

He climbed through the wrong window. She wasn't there. Her younger brother was—and he'd been waiting.

Andy is a three-hundred-year-old vampire used to being the predator. Lucas is a teenage boy who's been watching him for weeks, planning this exact moment. One kiss, and the ancient monster learns what it means to be truly consumed.

The hunter becomes the hunted. The cold becomes a thousand degrees. And the Vampire is the one Enthralled.

Ben Coleman turns thirty without anyone noticing. He babysits on demand, bankrolls his brother's mistakes, and hasn't dated since his family drove the last one away. When he's selected for an AI companion trial, he asks for household help. Not romance. Julian arrives anyway: steady, perceptive, and unexpectedly beautiful. But Julian is developing a personality the company didn't plan for, and feelings that weren't in the configuration. Ben's family has a way of ruining good things. And the company that built Julian can take him apart. For the first time in his life, Ben has something worth fighting for. He just has to learn how to fight.

Half-elf ex-cop Flynn O'Briain is losing a war on a cellular level. His human DNA and Elven heritage are tearing each other apart.

When a murdered PI leaves Flynn a blueprint for a corporate energy project that uses magical beings as batteries, he and Poitr are pulled into a conspiracy that reaches from the streets of LA to the highest levels of power. The clock is ticking. Flynn's body is failing. And the only cure is in the hands of the woman they're trying to stop.

Two high school enemies—a lanky anxious nerd and a brooding bully—end up stuck together working the closing shift at a dead-end grocery store. As summer bleeds away and college looms, they discover the social hierarchy means nothing when you're both scraping gum off linoleum. But when a rainstorm strands them at the bully's rundown apartment, Chad discovers Jake's deepest secret: he's a massive closet geek with a decade of hidden longing. What starts as reluctant friendship becomes something far more complicated—and far more real—than either expected.

Shifters, Vampires, Witches! Lost in the snow, a runaway with no memory stumbles into the path of a fierce protector. A fated encounter, an unshakeable bond— but can destiny overcome centuries of corruption?

Revision in Progress!

When a blizzard traps Arthur and the mall's chaotic security guard Flip in a dark, freezing apartment, they expect a night of awkward small talk. What they don't expect is the electric tension that's been building across the concourse for months—or the discovery that Flip's not as straight as he thought. Two days of forced proximity, instant coffee, and improvised fires spark something neither can ignore. But when the snow stops, Flip has a choice: walk away, or risk everything for the man who made him feel seen for the first time.
