They didn't give her a trial. They gave her a husband. Shravani Mehra was never meant to be a bride. She was built to survive sharp-minded, self-made, and untouchable in a world ruled by men who mistook fear for power. Until one night changed everything. A death. A legacy drenched in blood. And a verdict delivered not by a court, but by the most feared name in the city. Aviraj Rathore. King of an empire built on silence and obedience. A man who doesn't ask he claims. A man who believes control is justice and marriage is the cruelest punishment. He doesn't want Shravani's love. He wants her contained. She doesn't want his mercy. She wants her freedom even if she has to burn his throne to get it. What begins as vengeance becomes a war of wills. What looks like hatred starts to feel like obsession. And in a house where power decides survival, only one truth remains: This is not a love story. It is a standoff between two people too dangerous to surrender. And in a marriage forged as a sentence, only one will kneel - or both will fall.

Ira Verma never imagined her new job would land her inside the cold, echoing walls of the Rathore estate-a mansion guarded by silence, secrets, and the brooding presence of the man she's been hired to care for. Devraj Singh Rathore, heir to one of the most powerful families in India, is feared by many and understood by none. Bound to a wheelchair after a brutal attack, he shows no emotion, no warmth... and certainly no interest in the woman tending to him. At least, that's what Ira believes. What she doesn't know is that behind his still gaze lies a storm-dark, obsessive, and dangerously fixated on her. He watches when she's not looking, collects pieces of her she never gave, and burns with jealousy every time his younger brother dares to flirt with her. But Ira has a life outside this mansion. A fiancé her family chose. A future she thought she wanted. Devraj is done pretending. And when obsession begins to crack through restraint, Ira must face a chilling truth: You can only run so far... when the one who craves you is already inside your world.

#𝟏 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐬. ✮ 𝐀 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𓂃⟡˙ ⋆ (CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE) Four ruthless brothers. Four broken brides. One binding fate. What will happen when the four Rajvardhan brothers, cold-hearted, power-driven, and scarred by their pasts, are forced into marriage under family pressure? Thrown into unwanted vows with four women, these men are about to face a storm of secrets, rebellion, and desire. Will they cage the women they're bound to, or set themselves on fire in the process? But within the heart of this empire, beneath the gold and glass, something else is moving. Something ancient. Watching. A whisper in closed rooms. A name erased from every record. A presence that slips through power like smoke, leaving chaos in its wake. They call it a phantom, a myth, a curse woven into the Rajvardhan bloodline, a force that does not bleed, does not bow, and cannot be seen. It moves between them, twisting truths, and marking its next prey. And as the brothers fall for the women meant to ruin them, the shadow begins to rise, pulling everyone into a game where love is a weapon, and survival is the only sin worth committing. The question isn't who will win. It's who will remain once the phantom is done rewriting history. ! MATURE CONTENT ! Started on: 01/08/2025.

{INCOMPLETE, UNDER REVISION} - Book 1 of The King's Prey Series. ***As I'm working through revisions for this book, the unrevised completed version is posted on my account for those who'd like to read on to book 2!*** Grown into a life of comfort by a corrupted kingdom, Princess Anastasia Fawn has never felt so out of place. While her neglective royal parents want an heir to the throne, she dreams of a life beyond the protective walls of her kingdom. But Mylithia holds secrets as ancient as its very foundation-and whatever creatures lie beyond those ominously tall walls have always been rumored as barbarous. The Ancient Woods isn't unfamiliar territory to Samuel Knight-the notorious Alpha of the Phantomridge warriors. But living amongst the beasts of the night comes with a price for the human kingdoms despite the Treaty that has kept their divided worlds tranquil for over a century. When one charity ball leads to the slaughtering of thousands of her people, Anastasia is forced to face the consequences of her parent's actions, learning they're not as honest and loyal to Mylithia as they seemed. A debt is to be paid to the savages-more specifically though, to their king. While he is feared by all-the image of the devil himself-she is the King's prey. ⚠️Mature content, reader discretion advised⚠️ Top Ratings: #1 in Dark Romance #1 in Bad #1 in Dark #1 in Dominance #2 in Love Hate #2 in Adult Romance #4 in Plot Twist #18 in Power #19 in Werewolf Word Count: { 115,000 }

The game was accelerating. Viransh learning truths that would reshape everything he thought he knew. Vanya racing toward revelations that would either condemn or save her. And between them-secrets, lies, and a love that was either the most real thing in their lives or the most dangerous lie ever told. In their world, vulnerability was blood in the water. And the sharks were circling.

"The gods split their souls. The fire will decide if they deserve to be whole." In the sacred kingdom of Avanti, Anvika is a vessel of light, her beauty matched only by her terrifying resolve. Bound by a nine-year vow of absolute silence, she is sent to the jagged peaks of the North to marry a man she has never met. She carries a golden thread at her throat-a tether to the divine that will blacken and choke her if she surrenders to the secrets of her heart. Rudraksh is the iron-fisted Prince of the ANANTHGIRI, a warrior whose skin is a canvas of scars and whose shoulder bears the burning mark of the Trident. He has spent his life fighting shadows, never expecting the greatest threat to his composure to be the silent woman who now walks his halls. A three-thousand-year-old curse dictates their lives: they are souls born to find each other, yet forbidden to touch. In the obsidian heart of the fortress, their proximity is a trial by fire. Every look is a transgression; every shared breath is a rebellion against the heavens. As a blood-red eclipse looms and ancient enemies gather at the gates, the Prince and the Priestess must face the ultimate pariksha. In a world where a single touch can ignite a cosmic catastrophe, they must prove that their devotion is stronger than their desire. The stars are watching. The shadows are hungry. And the Fire is the only witness.
