Elliot Vale doesn't fall in love. He manages perception. As the public face of Northwell, he understands one thing better than anyone: appearances are everything. Stability matters. Control matters. Feelings complicate things. So when a fake engagement becomes the cleanest solution to a public problem, Elliot drafts the rules like he always does. Thirty days. Public appearances. No emotional liability. Harper Lane knows exactly what she's agreeing to. She builds brands for a living. She understands strategy. She believes she can enjoy something temporary without expecting forever. It's controlled. It's professional. It's not supposed to feel real. Until it does. Until the lines blur. Until pretending feels indistinguishable from truth. Until Harper starts wanting something that was never part of the agreement. And when Elliot, desperate to prove he's still in control, reminds her exactly what their arrangement was... he does it in a way Harper can't forgive. She doesn't fight. She doesn't beg. She chooses herself. And Elliot is left to face the one thing he never planned for: Feelings don't follow contracts.

I have a story to tell you. One about love-- the kind that swears forever under starlight... And the kind that leaves you waiting at 2:00 a.m. in a dress he'll never come home to see. Once, he kissed me like I was the only thing that made sense. Now he won't even look at me. The vows were real. The silence is louder. The bed is cold. I keep telling myself it's just another rough patch. But the candles burn out. The food goes cold. And his green eyes aren't soft anymore- just angry. One day, he stops coming home. One day, the doctor says words I can't unhear. One day, a stranger with hazel eyes asks if I'm okay. And I wish they were green. For a while. But this isn't a story about waiting. It's a story about finally walking away. About the woman who stayed too long- and the one she chose to become after. Live it with me. Won't you? #2 Discovery (02/14/2026) #2 triangle (02/14/2026) #1 rollercoaster (02/19/2026)

Note: This is an exclusive preview. The full novel releases February 24 and will be available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. Julian North doesn't believe in love. He believes in leverage. When family pressure threatens his carefully controlled life, he drafts the simplest solution possible-a marriage of convenience. Clean. Negotiated. Emotion-proof. Lucy Bennett agrees for practical reasons. With her mother's fragile health and her family depending on her steadiness, security isn't optional-it's survival. The terms are clear. No emotions required. But somewhere between shared mornings and unguarded moments, the arrangement begins to feel dangerously real. Julian softens. Lucy hopes. And for a moment, it feels like they might be building something neither of them expected. Until three words change everything. When silence replaces intimacy and outside forces threaten the fragile foundation they built, Lucy refuses to beg for what isn't freely offered. She walks. Now Julian must decide whether protecting his heart is worth losing the only woman who ever made him want more. A contemporary billionaire marriage-of-convenience romance featuring emotional slow burn, grumpy/sunshine tension, family interference, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Born of fae and shifter blood, Princess Nimara was cursed and cast away as a child by her father, the ruthless Fae King Calder Thorncrest, punished for powers she never asked for and a beast he feared he could not control. Exiled to a forgotten ruin deep within the Dark Woods, Nimara builds a hidden sanctuary for the outcasts and forsaken. To the world beyond the trees, she is a monster. To those she protects, she is their last hope. But fate has not finished with her. When Prince Tormund Harrowfell, a calculating ruler from the Frosted Expanse, arrives in Aetheris seeking an alliance, a prophecy surfaces-one that speaks of a princess powerful enough to save his dying kingdom. There is only one cost. Her power must be broken. Her beast must be severed. And her life must be sacrificed for his people. Nimara makes the fatal mistake of saving Tormund's life-unaware that mercy is the chain he will use to bind her. Lured by whispered promises of love and belonging, she is betrayed and bound in cold iron, reduced to a pawn in a game far greater than she ever imagined. But Tormund is not the only one watching. Milo Nightbriar, the exiled heir of a lost shifter kingdom, has waited for generations for the return of their true queen. He sees Nimara not as a curse, but as a crown stolen from its rightful bearer. He would burn kingdoms to awaken her power-and kneel if it means helping her claim it. Caught between a prince who seeks to control her and a rebel who would set the world ablaze for her rise, Nimara must choose: Submit and be sacrificed. Or become the queen the world fears. One will betray her. One will break for her. And one will kneel before her. This is a concept share and dormant project; updates are not currently scheduled.

Ten years ago, Alyssa Martin believed love was enough. She traded in her own spotlight for her husband's, becoming the quiet force behind Hollywood's golden boy Isaiah Martins, the man the world calls "Zay." To the public, their marriage is flawless red carpet smiles, luxury dinners, magazine covers that worship their "unbreakable bond." But behind the veil of perfection lies the truth: years of heartbreak, failed pregnancies, and a growing silence between them. As Isaiah's fame skyrockets, so does the pressure. His new co-star is dazzling, his team whispers about PR chemistry, and his hunger for power begins to consume him. Fame was supposed to be his salvation but it's becoming his downfall. And Alyssa? She's starting to realize that love isn't supposed to hurt this much. That sometimes, the greatest betrayal isn't another woman it's losing yourself while trying to hold someone else together. A Veil of Lies is a story about fame, love, and the price of silence a haunting portrait of a woman breaking under the weight of her own devotion. Beneath the glamour lies a battle with identity, self-worth, and mental scars that no one sees until it's far too late.

To most people, my husband is Viper. VP of the Devil's Rejects MC, hard, uncompromising, and completely committed to the club and his brothers. But the man I fell in love with was simply Roman, a man who called me Sunshine, and treated me like I was his treasure. By the time I realized the club would always come first, I was in too deep. And when his enemies came for me? He wasn't there to protect me because he was busy protecting her. And that I don't know how to forgive. Now I'm building a new life for myself without Roman. He promises he will give up everything to win me back, but promises are cheap and his aren't worth much. When we discover our enemies are still alive and planning to strike out again, however, I might not have any choice but to put my life in the hands of the man who's already let me down once.
