But when Valerie is thrust into a war for a throne built on cruelty, she discovers that some legacies are not inherited... they are conquered. As she uncovers the horrors her family hides behind gilded walls, she vows to expose every secret - even if it means tearing her kingdom apart. Her rebellion will shatter a dynasty. Her mercy will forge a new kingdom. In a realm where heirs are broken to prove their worth, Valerie must decide: become the monster her family made... or destroy the crown that created them. The bones of the royal family are cracking - and a new queen will rise from the ruins.

I died and woke up as Cryselle Argentum, a princess whose fate I already knew too well. This world was not unfamiliar to me. It was the setting of a novel I had once read, a tragic story where a neglected child grows into a misunderstood scholar and meets her end at the hands of her own father. Knowing that future, I resolved to survive by doing the opposite of what the story demanded. I would stay quiet, stay small, and stay out of sight. But the world did not allow me to remain unseen. I met Silas Argentum, my father, far earlier than I was ever meant to, and every interaction felt like walking on thin ice. Was he dangerous? Yes. Was he cruel? Perhaps. But he was also attentive in ways the novel never described. So tell me, if fate has already been written, what happens when the person meant to die decides to rewrite the story herself?

Charlie never meant to fall in love. He just did what he always does - listened, remembered, stayed. Mary Jane never believed in love the way people talk about it. Too loud. Too fragile. Too demanding. She preferred things unnamed. Unclaimed. Safe. What begins quietly in a library grows into shared walks, inside jokes, borrowed jackets, and silences that feel like home. To the outside world, they look effortless. To each other, they feel real. And for a while, that feels like enough. But love isn't just about care or intensity. It's about compatibility. About being able to speak without fear. About not shrinking to stay. As feelings deepen, the cracks don't arrive as explosions - they arrive as pauses. Unanswered questions. Apologies said too often. Effort mistaken for closeness. Love slowly turning into something that asks more than it gives. This is not a story about betrayal. No one cheats. No one is cruel. No one is the villain. This is a story about two people who loved each other deeply... just not in the same way. A quiet, honest coming-of-age novel about misfit love, emotional timing, and the kind of heartbreak that doesn't destroy you - it teaches you.

Ardent Currents - Book 1 One lost his dream. One found his heart. In a far future, two men find their fates in each other. Jamar Devereaux I told myself that all I ever wanted was my mother's company. It's why I'm back home to study business. Deep down, I know I only tell myself this lie because I can't have my true dream. He ruined all that for me... and then the accident stole my memories. Now, Mother's managed to put us in the sights of the Union's most notorious loan sharks. And what they want just might be the end of my life as I know it. Alaric Mako I've hunted him for so long, and at last, I'll finally make him mine. Summary: In a far off, technology-driven future of corporate dynasties, news-fluencers, and ruthless debt law, two men are forced into each other's orbit-and into an arranged engagement that only one of them wants... and the other didn't expect to crave. Jamar Devereaux returned home to inherit his mother's empire. But when she defaults on a dangerous loan to the most feared loan sharks in the Union, he's forced to save her-and himself-by agreeing to marry into the Mako family, notorious for collecting their debts with blood, time, and vengeance. His fiancé? Alaric Mako: the devastatingly handsome, cold and calculating heir who's spent years watching Jamar from afar. Jamar can't remember their brief past before his accident-but Alaric hasn't forgotten. As passion flares and old secrets resurface, enemies become lovers and hunters become the hunted in a deadly game of power, trust, and desire. In this world where loyalty is hired and love is a liability, can two men rewrite destiny?

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐚 || After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, Elizabeth Evans is left adrift. With no place to call home. No plan for the future. Only a useless college degree, lingering substance abuse issues, and a penchant for burnout. When a childhood friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back. Life in New York City is more complicated than this small town girl could have ever imagined. And it would seem the gods have a few more tricks left up their sleeves. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her growing feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. The scales must be weighed. Between lust or power. Between desire or reason. Between getting what she wants or doing what's expected of her. She must also ask if those are really the only options. What if she wants more? What if she wants it all? And what is she willing to do to get it? To find out, Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. Neither the universe, the city, nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy. And only two things are certain; the gods certainly have a sense of humor and the heart wants what it wants. | R A N K I N G S | #1 in literaryfiction (02/26) #1 in representation (02/26)
