Opal Mailo has her life carefully planned. Fixing the gap between her teeth is next on her list. She doesn't expect her charming (and unfairly handsome) dentist, Dr. Apollo Merrill, to completely derail her plans.

Seventeen-year-old Aviva Osherov, the daughter of a poor rabbi in Chernigov, has never fit the life chosen for her. She is expected to marry young, obey without question, and accept a future she does not want. But Aviva hungers for things forbidden to a girl of her world- to study Torah, to choose her own path, and to dream beyond the Pale of Settlement. Rumors of pogroms sweep through nearby towns, casting fear over her community like a shadow that refuses to lift. And when Aviva crosses paths with Nikolai, a quiet Orthodox Christian boy who sees her humanity instead of her religion, everything becomes more dangerous. He saves her once. She trusts him once. And suddenly the one person she should fear becomes the one she cannot let go of. Their forbidden bond risks her father's honor, her sister's future, and the safety of their entire household. Whispers turn to threats. Threats turn to violence. And when the pogrom finally reaches Chernigov, Aviva must face an impossible choice: Stay with the boy who taught her what freedom feels like... or flee to America to save the only family she has left. A story of courage, forbidden love, and a girl who refuses to be silent beneath a darkening sky.

Dark/Gaslamp Fantasy. Character-Driven, Atmospheric, Mythic Horror Camilia has spent her life on the margins of the Sanctuary, a hidden stronghold carved into the heart of Harem's Hill and guarded by ancient rites older than the Empire itself. When the Inscriptum, living Writs of the Emperor's will, descend on her people, the Sanctuary falls in a single night, leaving Camilia trapped underground with a dying leader, a handful of survivors, and a voice in the darkness that has been watching her for years.

"The pipes groaned in the bathroom with no door where I'd lost my virginity the night before to a man who'd cooked a gangster in front of me as a birthday present. He calls me Kotik." The story is set in 1990s Russia. Katya Petrovna was raised right. She takes over the care of her mama and little brother when their father passes, and has to navigate a gritty, cold, and economically depressed post-Soviet Russia ruled by political corruption and organized crime. She meets Vitali Konstantinov, a seemingly nice man who woos her with flowers, gifts, and the temptation of a better life. But Vitali isn't as he appears. And if true love tells you how to dress, what to eat, and when to get on your knees-well, such is life. Note: this is a 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ fiction, but it is also a slow burn. I promise you that it pays off. WARNING: This story is dark, although it may not seem so from the start. PLEASE READ TAGS/AUTHORS NOTE and take care of your mental health 💕
