She was promised to one, but she belonged to another.

Sheema has been dying for centuries. Her soul is trapped in a loop, reincarnating only to die young. It's a curse levied upon two immortal rivals who dared to cheat fate: Ethan and Drakos. They are bound to her by a love that transcends death, but their immortality is anchored to her recurring rebirth. She's finally found something that makes sense of her lucid dreams and memories of a life she never lived, and yet her immortals have their own plans for her future. As she discovers the truth about herself and her past, she needs to make a choice. [Mature content]

Relapse. After the Point - a story about love born from ruins. About pain that never truly fades - it only changes its shape. About finding your way back to yourself when all that's left is the truth. This isn't a story about falling. It's about what comes after the fall. Because sometimes, to heal - you have to break again. Sometimes, you have to hit the ground - to finally feel that it's real.

It's not just a slow burn love story; it's about living with a disability and finding someone who never sees it as a flaw.

WARNING: Contains spoilers, so read 'Lady Samurai' first! Shizuka is the daughter of Lord Takeda. She is proud and independent. She wants to be respected for who she is. But that's not easy being half Japanese - the daughter of an important Imperial minister and an infamous Westerner. She is a highly skilled warrior, but also a beautiful woman who breaks hearts just by smiling. But she dreams of true love, of feelings as strong as those shared by her parents. Then she is torn between two men. One is a potential political ally. The other is her heart's choice. As Japan descends into chaos of civil unrest her whole family might be in a mortal danger. Will Shizuka choose to follow her duty or her heart? Will she prove herself to others, and, more importantly, to herself? If you, like me, found it quite difficult to abandon Lottie and her family at the beginning of their great adventure, you might find yourself wondering: 'what happened next?' Well... Here is what I imagined might have happened... Cover by AI

Beneath the roots lies a realm unspoken, where shadows breathe and rivers run black. A single step too far unravels the veil between worlds, turning play into curse, and innocence into exile. Beyond the roots, the air itself conspires, forests whisper of forgotten kings, and demons walk as both beasts and men. Yet above that abyss rises a kingdom of warmth, a fragile jewel cradled in sunlight. Its streets awaken each dawn in a riot of color: banners ripple, stalls spill with fruit and cloth, and fountains laugh with crystal spray. Children dart through blooming gardens, their laughter ringing louder than bells, while elders sit beneath arching roots, telling stories of brighter days. Here, joy is stitched into life itself. The baker greets with sugared bread, the blacksmith's hammer sings with the town musicians, and couples dance when lanterns glow like fallen stars. Festivals turn nights into oceans of song, where drums thunder and torches paint the sky in fire and gold. In this place, hope does not hide-it parades, it feasts, it laughs. The people call their home a sanctuary, untouched by sorrow, where each day begins with promise and ends in peace. To live here is to believe, if only for a moment, that darkness is nothing more than a distant dream. But beneath their feet, the roots stretch into silence. For every blossom hides its shadow, and every feast masks a silence that waits. The kingdom may be a cradle of joy, but its foundation drinks from the same soil where nightmares stir. Here, survival is no gift. Every choice is a bargain, every path a trial. What seems human may wear another face, and what seems monstrous may hold a broken heart. Secrets buried for centuries stir in the soil, twisting destiny tighter with every breath. This is not a tale of crowns or kingdoms, but of a world where light is fragile, where hope withers, and where even the roots that bind the earth tremble before what waits below.

Between Two Worlds: The Freya Wild Story Book 1 in the Freya Wild Series In the heart of Stockholm, 2024, Ann Charlotte is a quiet force-an ambitious university researcher driven by data, theory, and discipline. But when her digital alter ego, Freya Wild, begins to take shape, everything changes. As Freya, she dives into a world of online expression, performance, and bold self-experimentation. What begins as academic exploration soon becomes something else: a personal revolution. With every post, every project, every connection, Freya challenges the rules-about gender, ambition, and the meaning of authenticity in a hyper-connected world. Spanning from 2024 to 2026, this is a story of duality and becoming. Between Two Worlds is not about escape-it's about transformation. And the future? It's still unwritten. Smart. Emotional. Unfiltered. Book one opens the door to a new kind of heroine-and a new kind of hope.
