Book I of the Hidden Hearts Series --- In the city of Sainthollow, ruled with an iron fist by Lord Eins, fear and loyalty are his greatest weapons. His son, Lord Wels, stands in stark contrast, kind hearted, compassionate, and beloved by the people. Yet one servant, Anwen, finds herself ensnared in Lord Eins' relentless wrath. Targeted and punished for reasons she can't fathom, she endures a torment that lays bare the true cruelty of his rule. As summer's warmth settles over Sainthollow, Wels begins to notice the quiet strength and resilience that define Anwen. Her endurance sparks something within him, a need to protect her, to become her secret guardian, offering fleeting moments of mercy amidst his father's cruelty. With each stolen glance and whispered word, his feelings deepen, forcing him to confront the growing conflict between his duty to his bloodline and his urge to defy his father's oppressive reign. In a world where even the simplest kindness invites suspicion, Wels is willing to risk everything to shield Anwen from the man who should have kept her safe. As tensions mount and forbidden love blooms like summer's wildflowers, both must decide how far they are willing to go, for freedom and for each other. --- Started: October 15, 2024 Status: Complete || Soon to be published on Amazon.

"When Love is War" Vera Devereaux's world was shattered the moment Dante Mercier's family betrayed her father leaving her family's name in ruins and her every move laced with vengeance. She swore to make them pay, to burn the Mercier legacy to the ground. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. At a glittering gala where enemies wear smiles like weapons, Vera and Dante's paths cross-and the war between them begins anew. But this isn't just a battle for revenge. This is a battle of wills, of pride, of something deeper-something darker. As Vera's hatred for Dante consumes her, a force she can't deny pulls her closer. The man she despises might be her greatest enemy-but also the most dangerously captivating thing she's ever known. And he's not backing down. With every sharp word, every cruel glance, Dante ignites a fire inside her that she can't extinguish, a fire that burns with equal parts fury and desire. They are forced together in a deadly game of power and manipulation neither willing to give in, neither willing to lose. But what starts as a war of destruction turns into something far more perilous. In the fight to ruin him, Vera risks losing herself. In a world of lies, betrayal, and shattered loyalties, Vera must decide: hold fast to her hate and finish what was started, or surrender to the chaos that Dante brings with every stolen glance, every broken rule. When love is the battlefield, there are no victors-only those who survive the war.
