After losing her father and nearly losing her life when their ship sank off the coast of Cornwall, Adelaide Hampton Parke is faced with a terrible dilemma. Her stepmother has demanded that they immediately set sail for New York but the very idea of stepping foot on board another ship and facing the uncertainty of a Transatlantic crossing leaves her paralyzed with fear. Not to mention that her relationship with her stepmother is contentious at best and she's been given only six months to return to New York and find herself a husband or be put out of the family's Park Avenue home to make her own way in the world. Salvation comes, unexpectedly, in the form of a telegram from Eldren Llewellyn a Welsh lord and the sole owner of a mining empire. He'd partnered with her father in multiple business ventures, and upon the man's death, proposed to Adelaide in order to spare her the ordeal of returning home in her stepmother's less than tender care. But as she travels to his remote estate in Snowdonia, Adelaide comes to realize that his ancestral home, Cysgod Lys, literally the Shadow Hall, is filled with secrets and dark things she cannot name. Fear is her constant companion and she begins to wonder if her new husband is her savior... or her doom. PLEASE NOTE: This work has been published at Amazon and is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.

As the train carried Ewalina Laurance through the 'ōhi'a-covered hills of the Hāmākua Coast, she could not help feeling a deep sense of foreboding. For a young woman of penurious circumstances, serving as a governess was the prescribed formula. Even if said work was far from her home of Honolulu, on a plantation in the heyday of Hawaiʻi's sugarcane industry. But Ewa was high-spirited and not unattractive, and she hated the idea of it--especially when she learned of the strange mysteries that shrouded her new home of the Keʻalohilani Plantation. Her anxiety grew when she first saw that barren, isolated coast, and the manor house brooding high on the cliffs. And what of her arrogant employer, Kupuʻeu Judd and his precocious, resentful young daughter, Victoria? And why have the three previous governesses left the eerie mansion? Neighbors and servants hint at strange accidents, infidelity, and death. It was only her growing love for the troubled Victoria, still mourning the death of her mother, that quickened Ewa's resolve to stay on, and try to unravel the mysteries which encompassed their lives--a determination that was to put her own life in danger.

In a city smothered by shadows, where hunters whisper of cursed blood and vampires gather beneath blood moons, one name begins to echo- Gong Yuanzhi. His blood carries an anomaly that neither side can explain, a force that lures hunters to claim him and drives vampires to silence him forever. Yet it is not his blood alone that unsettles the night; it is his very presence, a quiet ripple in the dark that bends fate around him. For Yuanzhi, stepping into the Eterna Group is stepping into a dream. The glass towers rise like cathedrals against the sky, their shadows long and heavy, their halls filled with whispers of power and legacy. But within that brilliance move two figures he cannot name-Li Jie, silent and commanding as if carved from night itself, and Zhao Yuanzhou, whose presence falls like rain upon parched earth. A curse is whispered, never spoken aloud: ancient, binding, and red as spilled wine. Each step forward binds Yuanzhi tighter to it, until dream and nightmare are no longer easily told apart. Here he must decide whether he is prey, weapon, or the thread that could unravel the war itself.
