✰【ENEMIES TO LOVERS】⥈【VAMPIRE FANTASY】✰ "WHAT IS FATED... CANNOT BE CHANGED" In a world governed by ancient vampire leagues and unspoken laws, Nic Vancarthen survives by precision, execution and distrust. A strategist by nature, he believes alliances should be clean, missions contained, and emotions kept in control. That belief begins to fracture the moment Olandria enters his path. Olandria blessed with beauty, skills and formidable power is unwilling to offer explanations for who she is or where she comes from. Her presence complicates Nic's mission and unsettles his instincts, drawing him into a web of half-truths, political tension, and forbidden forces older than the leagues themselves. As rival powers maneuver in the shadows and enemies close in, Nic and Olandria are forced into proximity neither of them asked for. Will they be able to individually accomplish their goals or let emotions take the reign? Who can truly be trusted when the past refuses to stay buried? The Vancarthens is a dark romance fantasy of bloodbound loyalty, forbidden power, and the fragile bonds that hold when the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all. WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS BOOK: ✔ FANTASY ✔ ACTION ✔ ADVENTURE ✔ PLOT-TWISTS ✔ SLOW BURN ROMANCE WORTH THE WAIT 18+

They were never supposed to work. Olandria doesn't do messy. Nic doesn't do rules. But when you're forced to share a space, lines blur... boundaries shift... and tension turns into something neither of them planned for. And the worst part? They might not want it to stop.

Olandria has hated Nic for as long as she can remember and the feeling has always been mutual. But when the line of hate starts to blur into something different, something new, what happens to the resolve of Olandria Carthen?

A one night stand that turns into something else

She doesn't believe in chasing love. Not when it never seems to stay. Olandria has built a life she's proud of-her boutique, her clients, her independence. She knows her worth. So when every man she meets disappears without explanation, she tells herself it doesn't matter. Until it starts to. Nic Vansteenberghe doesn't do relationships. He does control, business, and keeping things exactly where he wants them. So when a high-stakes deal depends on him having a stable girlfriend, he needs a solution-and fast. Olandria needs a fake boyfriend. Nic needs a perfect image. It should be simple. It isn't. Because the one man who keeps interfering in her life... is the same one who's been making sure no one else ever gets the chance. And the worst part? She doesn't even know she was already his.

It's been a month since the villa. Olandria is still struggling to adjust to her new world- one filled with flashing lights, headlines, and expectations. Anxiety, stress, and doubt have become her constant companions. She and Nic have promised to take things slow- very slow. Like they're falling for each other all over again. But in a world fueled by fame and money, can their love really survive?

Under His Roof Nic built a life without attachments, moving from city to city for three years, never staying long enough for anything to matter. But just as he decides he's ready to settle, his past catches up with him in the form of a truth he can't ignore he has children. Determined to find them, Nic follows a trail that leads him to Olandria, the woman who has been raising them as her own. For two years, she has built a stable, loving life for the twins, and she has no intention of letting a man with power and money take that away. But Nic isn't used to losing control, and he isn't walking away from what's his. Forced into the same space, their worlds collide her determination against his authority, her love against his claim and as boundaries blur and tensions rise, one thing becomes clear: This isn't just about the children anymore

Olandria is a civil litigation attorney who has just been put on a case regarding club owner Nicolas Vansteenberghe. Throughout the trials and tribulations of the case, she reconnects with a dream she once had. With the stories that she has heard about Nic, she was made to believe that he was the kind of man everyone accused him of being. Her mind changes, though, as he reveals parts of himself he has never allowed anyone else to see. Will this be a blossoming romance between two people with unfulfilled dreams, or a disaster that will ruin the both of them altogether?

~ Three years later ~ A shared past. A complicated present. And a connection that refuses to fade.
