If you bought your copy, thank you. OR if you used your Kindle Unlimited, thank you. OR if you read this from Kindle lending, thank you. Any legal means, thank you. Thank you for respecting me and other authors for their hard work, understanding this is our job, and while we love it, we do deserve to be compensated for all the hours, and hours, and hours we put into it.
If you did not… Go buy one! You are a thief and your parents and grandparents and cute animals all around the world are ashamed of you. There is no justification for committing this crime because it is a crime, no different than walking into a physical bookstore, taking a print copy off the shelf, and walking out of the store without paying for it.
There is no such thing as a victimless crime. If you truly believe that, you’ve never been a victim. And the victims aren’t only the authors, but the fans who lose authors that quit over our constantly being stolen from and mistreatment. Mistreating the authors that write the books you like or read—not liking them isn’t an excuse for theft, it’s just extra weird then—that’s not a fan. Fans leave reviews to support. Fans send messages of love. Fans… Well fans are nice. Be nice.

My name is Tamsin Vale and I’m the last known fairy… And I think I’m out of time. The walls are closing in from all sides and we’re quickly running out of options.
But I don’t think help is coming.
Making up with Darby and Lucca—having them at my side—has helped my soul, but I’m still missing pieces of it. I want to let Hudson back in, though I don’t know how.
And I really wish I could move on from Craftsman. Why can I not let go of the man who nearly destroyed me?
There are too many other things I should be focused on. McGrath is circling and must be handled. The warlock elders are stepping up their attempts to get me. Others are getting too desperate and that makes people dangerous, but trying to make friends with the wrong people will get me killed.
I really wish help was coming because I don’t think I’ll survive without it.
Artemis University is an ongoing hot burning reverse harem, university-age paranormal academy series with darker elements, strong language, violence, and a heroine who follows her own moral compass of what is right… And who she ends up giving her heart to.

“Okay, let’s fuck,” I announced after swinging up into Hudson’s room the afternoon before classes resumed from midterm break. I’d seen him at dinner, and the energy crackling between us had pushed me over the edge. It had been building and going insane all semester, invading my dreams—even over break—and I just… I couldn’t deal with it anymore.
“I’m sorry?” he whispered as he blinked at me, rubbing his arms as it swarmed his body as well.
I let out a frustrated growl as I fisted my hair. “I can’t take this anymore! Let’s just fuck it out. I need it to dissipate. It’s so distracting to the point it’s gonna get me in trouble. So fine, we can fuck. Let’s fuck.”
And in a flash, it stopped. It was as if I’d jumped in cold water when my skin was sunburnt. I gasped, and it was my turn to blink at him, completely confused as to what had just happened.
Except he wouldn’t look at me.
“There, it’s gone. You—we don’t need to now.”
Rage filled me as I realized what had been going on. “You’ve been controlling it? Controlling me with—”
“No.”
“Bullshit,” I rasped, hating he could still break my heart. I turned to book it back out the window, but he was faster, grabbing me around the waist and making me move further into the room, cutting off my escape.
“No, I will not let there be one more misunderstanding between us that I cause,” he declared, chuffing in a way that let me know his dragon was riding him. “I cannot control the mating energy between us. I can’t. It is a draw and a bond. I did not know, nor think, it could happen between those of a different species. I thought—and for months—it was because of the way your magic spiraled.”
There was more to it, but he was waiting for me to accept that. I flipped on my telepathy, listening to his thoughts that were racing too fast for him to lie, nodding when I believed him, and he could continue.
“I thought it was because of the way you’d protected my family, bonded with River, that we were important to each other. I don’t know. Fate brought you here, and Melody back to our knights—I don’t know.” Again he waited and I nodded. “Then I found evidence it could be from another species, but it wasn’t clear. It was all—I should have looked into it more and talked with you. I was wrong.”
“What was this now?” I asked, not wanting to talk about that.
He cleared his throat. “The only time the energy stops is when both mates have been injured by the other. Fate won’t force physical attraction or push for sexual intimacy when both are injured.”
I couldn’t even hide my reaction,
