A woman named Alana moves to New York to get away from her abusive ex. She saves a little girl from the road and gets offered a job to watch her. She finds out that the man who hired her is her father's enemy. (Both POV's) Will she choose her family, or will she choose the man she fell in love with?

Aurelia Corvelle hadn't asked for any of this. And yet had her opinion ever mattered in the first place? All her life she had spent training, disciplining and collecting scars she would hide behind her seductress facade, parading the occasional night as vigilante and murderess Crimson Noire. She had been hidden away behind the safety of the rebellion compound up until she had become old enough to sneak her way out, the thrill of the escape and the freedom exhilarating to her soul. So when an infuriating, black haired, asshole of a man happened to ruin her night away, what more could she do but stab him? So what if he was pretty. He was a nuisance. A stupid, heterochromic nuisance. And with that she sealed her fate. Kairan Emrys had never encountered something like this before. Rather a woman like this. A very dumb, cocky, blatantly irrational woman. It wasn't that he cared for being stabbed, rather that she had had the nerve to stab him as if she had not a care for her life. As if she didn't know who he was. So when this regrettably hot whirlwind dumped her arrogance atop his ego, what more could he do but trap her within his own twisted games. Life was meant to be survived after all. The entertainment and her murder would also be free. A win-win situation. And with that he sealed her fate. Yet with the trials and perilous journeys they seemed to be forcibly pushed together into, will they be able to hold true to their character, or will fate have its way with them? In a world of kingdoms, magic, friendships and betrayals, trials and tests of courage and death, will these two ever be compatible or more importantly, ... alive? PLEASE NOTE: !SWEARING IS USED IN THIS BOOK!

"He married our mother. He entered our house. But the person he destroyed... was me." A family built on lies. A sister who watched in silence. A stepfather who crossed every line. And a confession that came far too late.

TAINTED By [Sa'Bree Jasper] A royal baby, born under suspicion and shame, was sentenced to death by the King himself. His crime? Being the child of a Queen accused of betrayal. But the blade never fell. Instead, a loyal guard defied his oath and smuggled the infant into the human world, hiding him beyond the reach of magic and memory. Nineteen years passed. The boy-Alexander-grew up unaware of who he truly was, or what fate had once been written for him in blood. The guard never returned. But someone else did. A girl cloaked in secrets and duty has come to lead Alexander back-not just to his forgotten kingdom, but into a legacy he never asked for and a war he never saw coming. He was meant to die. Instead... he's the key to everything. UPDATED 2025

In the cursed land of Aeternum, death is only the beginning, and the fight for defiance never ends. Shipwrecked, broken, and nameless, Calamity rose from the wreckage not to survive, but to lead. Forged in battle and haunted by the past, he becomes the voice and sword of the Knights of Defiance, a hardened band of warriors standing against the chaos consuming the New World. Alongside brothers-in-arms like Leader, the ruthless marksman, and Ninja, the ghost in the dark, they carve out justice in a land where corrupted legions rise, sirens guard cursed gold, and every ruin whispers of betrayal. But glory in Aeternum comes at a price. The deeper they push into forgotten tombs and blood-soaked battlefields, the more the line between hero and monster fades. Each recruit faces brutal trials. Each victory costs something sacred. And when the cursed relic known as the Void Darkplate finds its way to Calamity, visions of ruin and twisted prophecy threaten to consume him whole. Enemies circle. Friends fall. And amid the rot of old empires, a new legend is born-not of salvation, but of unrelenting defiance. For fans of dark fantasy, cinematic battles, and morally torn heroes, Tyrant of Aeternum is a brutal, beautiful odyssey through war, loyalty, and the hunger for power in a world that refuses to die.

"Touch me, Blaze... and you'll remember me every time something beautiful dies." -- She was the only sin he'd die to confess. So he destroyed his kingdom for her absolution. -- 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. Power built their world. Power destroyed it. She pulled the trigger that turned his hate into a kingdom of fire, and now fate binds them to the same war. Hate keeps them sharp. Hate keeps them alive. But hate is just another mask for power. And when it cracks, they'll both discover the cost of letting go. -- In a city ruled by blood and silence, some names are spoken only in whispers. New York breathes violence like smoke-its kings crowned in crime, its peace bought in bodies. Blaze Marino, heir to a fractured Italian empire, doesn't believe in myths. He believes in control. In power. In pain as currency. But when a woman with white hair and a scar like prophecy crashes a masquerade of monsters, everything changes. She moves like fire. Vanishes like smoke. Leaves no name, no trail-just destruction and desire. And with her, the game changes. As alliances crack and old ghosts crawl from the shadows, Blaze finds himself caught between revenge and something far more dangerous: curiosity. Obsession. A pull he can't explain. They say saints die young. But what if she was never a saint at all? And if she was- maybe she always knew how her story would end.

Some stories are written. Others are dared. Aria Devraj has written hundreds of pages about love - but never lived it. When she's invited to an elite writers' retreat in the mountains, she expects quiet inspiration. What she finds instead is a dinner table full of brilliant strangers, secrets that taste like wine, and a man whose presence feels like a slow undoing. Reyan Wolfe is unreadable, magnetic, and dangerous in the way intelligence becomes obsession. He sees through her defenses. And he offers her something no one else has: the chance to write desire - not on paper, but in skin. But at a retreat where everyone is writing a lie, some dares can unravel more than hearts. A slow-burn, psychological romance about intimacy, ambition, and the stories we live before we write them.
