BLURB : The house was dim and quiet, the storm outside swallowing every sound. Johnny knew this place like a dream he'd walked through once before - marble floors, long hallways, family portraits that seemed to watch his every move. He reached the base of the staircase and froze. A light glowed faintly from upstairs - Olivia's room. He took the steps two at a time. When Olivia heard the faint creak of her door, she thought it was Frank again. "Frank?" she whispered, heart skipping. But then Johnny stepped out of the shadow, rain dripping from his hair, his eyes locking on hers. "Johnny," she breathed. Her pulse spiked. "What are you doing here?" "I had to see you." "Are you insane? My father-" "I don't care about your father," he said, stepping closer. His voice was rough, desperate. "I needed to see your face. I needed to know if it's him." "What?" "Frank." His words hit like thunder. "I needed to know if it's him you want now." Olivia's throat tightened. "Johnny, please-" He took another step, close enough that she could smell the rain on him, the whiskey still lingering on his breath. "Just tell me the truth, Liv. Do you love him?" ⭐️ NEW CHAPTERS EVERY WEEK ⭐️ After years of studying abroad, Olivia Moretti returns to Old Westbury to a life she barely recognizes.

"The world called it sin - They called it love Because when love becomes a sin, desire becomes rebellion". (A Limited 10 Chapter Novella)

High school senior Jason Morris has been living something of a double life. On one hand, he's one of the best cellists in his school's recent history and a half-decent student. On the other hand, he's spent years deeply intertwined with the street life of West Midnight, a neighborhood that sticks out like a sore thumb in the town of Midnight and a place where fate is not kind to the residents. Jason knows better than to think he'll be the exception to this curse, boys like him are especially unlikely to get out of West Midnight, but he's come to peace with it over the past half a decade. At least, Jason is at peace with everything until he has his chance to become one of the lucky ones. With an offer from the area's best arts college hanging over his head, Jason must choose which part of his life he's going to hold on to, and which part he's going to let go of. Is he going to get out of this neighborhood and have a chance to become something greater than he ever imagined, or is he going to live and die a West Midnight boy through and through? And what will the choice he makes give him or cost him?

After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, Elizabeth Evans is left adrift. With no place to call home. No plan for the future. Only a useless college degree, lingering substance abuse issues, and a penchant for burnout. When a childhood friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back. Life in New York City is more complicated than this small town girl could have ever imagined. And it would seem the gods have a few more tricks left up their sleeves. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her growing feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. The scales must be weighed. Between lust or power. Between desire or reason. Between getting what she wants or doing what's expected of her. She must also ask if those are really the only options. What if she wants more? What if she wants it all? And what is she willing to do to get it? To find out, Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. Neither the universe, the city, nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy. And only two things are certain; the gods certainly have a sense of humor and the heart wants what it wants. (A New Romantics Novel: Book One)

She moaned low and breathy, like something just beneath a prayer. The sound didn't seem coy. It felt possessed. Jacob stumbled back behind a tree, his pulse hammering in his throat. His lips ajar. He didn't even remember breathing. The crucifix beneath his shirt felt like ice against his chest. He gripped it anyway. The metal biting into his palm. He told himself he hadn't seen what he saw. ************* In Little Harmonie, purity is worshiped, sin is hunted, and witches burn. Father Jacob should condemn Delilah. Instead, he craves her. Her beauty tempts him, her power unsettles him, and her darkness feels too much like his own. But the deeper he falls, the uglier the truth bleeds out: the town is rotten, the sermons are lies, and the real monsters don't just lurk in the woods... they wear holy robes. In a place that calls itself pure, obsession is holy, and love is the most dangerous curse of all.
