Nicole lands her dream job at Bloomwell, a glossy, woman-run wellness company that sells supplements, weight loss pills, and the promise of a better life. The office feels more like a luxury retreat than a workplace, with endless perks designed to keep employees happy, loyal, and inside. But when Nicole starts noticing small things that don't add up, her coworkers respond with unsettling positivity, almost like they're afraid of something. As Nicole digs deeper, people who ask questions start vanishing. A flirtatious, wealthy coworker draws her into a dangerous, addictive relationship just as she realizes Bloomwell is watching her more closely than it should. To survive, Nicole will have to outthink a force she barely understands, and decide how far she's willing to go to burn her dream job to the ground. *****Complete*****

On the secluded island of Nissquaw, nestled between Massachusetts and Nantucket, three best friends have always been inseparable. Leigh - the wild child. Bold, impulsive, and impossible to ignore. Gemini - the teen mom. Sharp, brilliant, and quietly carrying more than anyone knows. Janus - the church girl. Faithful, nurturing, and far stronger than she looks. Together they are navigating their early twenties: jobs they hate, boyfriends who come off more like placeholders, a community that always has something to say about them, and enough chaos between the three of them to fill a court case. And underneath all of that chaos - they are just ordinary women. Until the night of Leigh's birthday - when everything changes. What begins as a celebration becomes an awakening. Strange symbols. Prophetic dreams. Forgotten memories rising to the surface like something that has been waiting a very long time. Because the bond between Leigh, Gemini, and Janus did not begin in this lifetime - and the forces that have been watching them are done waiting. They are heirs to a legacy buried beneath Nissquaw itself - older than its witch trials, older than its legends, older than anyone still living remembers. Bound by fate, tested by desire, and hunted by powers that have spent generations preparing for their return, the three women must decide whether they are willing to embrace the truth that has always connected them - even if that truth costs everything. On an island where the sea remembers and ancient magic sleeps beneath the surface, friendship becomes power, love becomes destiny, and three souls discover what they were always meant to be. Friends by choice. Witches by blood. Lovers by fate. Triskele: A Triad of Three Witches - a contemporary fantasy about sisterhood, reincarnation, romance, and the kind of love powerful enough to transcend lifetimes. 🌀✨📖

Bren has spent his entire life believing he knew where he belonged. In the forest village of Hearthwood, life is simple.

But after carrying a man to his ancestral mound, Bren learns a truth that unravels everything he believed about himself. Meanwhile, Verakh spent his life building a place for himself in the walled city of Aethryss. Once a refugee child with nothing, he rose to become one of his cities most respected political figures. Yet beneath the honour and prestige lies a past he has spent years trying to bury. Belonging is not always a given, and not all rivers lead home. *The story will also be available on my Royal Road account under the same name*

As Nina fights to survive the brutal modeling industry, builds new friendships, and tries to find her place in a city that never stops moving, one question keeps echoing through the noise: Will she be strong enough to stay true to herself - or will she lose herself in the very dream she came here to chase?

Teresia knows sleeping with the pastor's son is a terrible idea. In 1984, eighteen-year-old Teresia is stuck at The Well Fellowship with her mother and stepfather, surrounded by people who mistake obedience for virtue and gossip for concern. She knows how to play along when she has to. She knows how to stay quiet. What she does not know is how to stop wanting Charles Connors. Charles is the pastor's son. Beautiful, experienced, and far too used to getting away with things, he comes with a reputation Teresia understands immediately. He is the last person she should get involved with and the first person who makes her feel fully seen. What begins in secrecy turns into something deeper, more dangerous, and harder to contain. As their relationship intensifies, the walls around Teresia begin closing in. The church is watching. Charles's family already has their doubts about her. A secretive writing group offers the possibility of another life, but even there, jealousy and gossip have teeth. Every choice she makes pulls her further from the version of herself everyone wants, and closer to the one she might have to destroy everything to become. Set against the heat and pressure of a Southern church town, Teresia is a dark coming-of-age romance about desire, power, shame, obsession, and the cost of wanting freedom more than forgiveness. ❤️ REVIEWS ❤️ Your story still pops into my head.
