Four African-American witches on the run from a Warlock detective, a jilted lover, and a ridiculous super clingy cat named Mister Purr. *** It's Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans, and instead of celebrating with deep-fried beignets and dancing, Yanni finds herself in a dark alley with her three 'sisters'-staring down at a lifeless body. Shocked and scared, they realize something's off about this death. The body is twisted in a way that's not normal, and Yanni can't shake the feeling that dark magic is involved. With one sister panicking, another making sarcastic comments, and the eldest sister, Aunt BeeBee, trying to stay calm, Yanni's life takes a turn she never expected. The dead man's identity remains a mystery, and the sisters know one thing for sure: they can't let anyone find out. The four of them are witches, each representing one of the four elements, bound by magic and a sisterhood. But when it comes to covering up a murder, will they stick together or fall apart? Yanni's got a big decision to make. Will she go along with Aunt BeeBee's plan to cover it up, or will she risk everything to do what's right? With Mardi Gras chaos swirling around them, the sisters' bond is tested as they navigate dark magic, secrets, and their own fears. One thing's for sure-nothing in New Orleans will ever be the same.

Flowing silk dresses. Structured suits. Empty, forced vows. Soft, sweet nothings. Whispered caresses. Bittersweet kisses. Blue, blue eyes. This is not a love story. This is ruination. 🥀 Rosaline Beaumont. A name that once graced every tabloid, a face that used to be plastered all over social media. A girl that had all but disappeared. But now, four years after everything had turned to ashes in her grasp, she was back under the ever greedy gaze of the cameras, the watchful eyes of high society thirsting to watch their darling unravel. Standing at a wedding altar not of her choice, Rose was on the precipice of vowing to spend the rest of her life with a man she hardly knew. A deadly gamble. A hopeful new start. But could something new truly blossom, when the clutches of the past were dug so deep? Could she ever truly move on, when she couldn't close her eyes without dreaming of him? And could a marriage really last, when her heart would forever beat for another? 🥀 Completed on July 5, 2025.

Welcome to the Veil or rather-my condolences. A slow-burn fantasy with a hint of romance, a pinch of action and mystery and a generous sprinkle of dark humour. Here you'll find mean angels, polite demons and grim reapers escorting souls (saints, sinners and mostly, comely ones) while juggling afterlife paperwork. Meet Clark Parker, ex-saint turned scourge of hell turned reaper, in search of her proverbial 'soulmate' while she fights rogue souls and deals with death and bureaucracy. #enemiestolovers #slow-burn #reincarnation #GoodOmensbutSexy #cleanromance *** Synopsis: For 500 years, she has been condemned to suffer. Clark Parker is reincarnated thirteen times, only to live a cruel life. In her final life, she dies a Saint, and the Veil offers her release: a chance at peace, at bliss-rebirth without sorrow. She refuses. Clark doesn't want to come back. She wants answers. But the truth she seeks lies deep within the Old Archives, a place forbidden to all but reapers. And she isn't one-not yet. To become an envoy of death, she must destroy what remains of her grace and taint her soul. And there is only one place to break a Saint: Hell. There, among the ruined and the wretched, she will rise. Through torment. Through the ranks of demons, and ascend as a reaper. But the closer she comes to the truth, the colder the world becomes. Because some secrets are chained for a reason. And some names should stay in the dark. [updates every weekend]

Sci-fi nut, blonde bombshell, and severely no filter Brooke is ready for a fresh start. Done are the days of trashy boyfriends, who couldn't find the right spot if there were fluorescent signs pointing to it, and deadbeat mega mooches. Not to mention, the one night stands that leave you having to take a mental inventory of exactly what you've brought with you, when you're trying to make a speedy exit. That is until she meets Deacon. The mountain of a man she wouldn't mind trekking up to reach the top. He's the right kind of charming, the perfect amount of flirt, and the first guy who hasn't looked stumped when she opens her mouth to sass. In fact he's lightning quick on the sass himself. There's just one problem.. He doesn't date. In fact, Deacon's specialty is the one night of hot, sweaty fun. Something which Brooke is avoiding like the damn plague. However, when the conversations flow on, the insane attraction grows stronger, and the time spent together gets more heated, will they be able to resist the obvious pull they have towards each other forever?... Or does the man who never dates, have a reason for it that might tear them apart over and over...
