When Susan & Arabella's mother marries Lord Cinders, they find their new, perfect stepsister Ethel has some horrible flaws. The worst, she refuses to consider them family and forces them to do all the house work in her father's absence at sea. Assuring the girl's mother cannot say a word to her husband by devious tactics. But what happens when the tables turn, will the persecuted become the persecutors and live up to their names as the evil step family?
This is a twist on the classic Cinderella story, written in a style not so far off The Brother's Grim.

TWISTED VOWS
A Dark Arranged Marriage Trilogy Silvya Ashbourne was born to be adored. A perfect doll with porcelain skin, green eyes sharp as glass, and a crown of blonde hair. Cold, cruel, untouchable-she ruled the halls of their private school with a smile like a blade. People worshiped her beauty, ignored her venom, and envied the throne she built on fear. Axel Hawthorne was born to be obeyed. The Hawthorne heir, ruthless even as a boy, with grey eyes like storm clouds and a voice that silenced rooms. A god to some, a devil to most. He fought, destroyed, and commanded, his name carrying the weight of England's richest, most feared family. Once, they were children raised on privilege and poison. Once, she mocked him when his family fell. Once, he swore he'd never forgive. Now, at twenty-two, they are bound by an arranged marriage meant to merge two empires. But Axel doesn't want peace-he wants revenge. And Silvya, sharp-tongued and unapologetic, refuses to bow. What begins as a war of hate spirals into something darker: a union of obsession, a love as twisted as the lies that ruined them, and a crown built on blood. Because the greatest betrayals don't come from enemies. They come from the ones who should have been family. He is the devil who burns empires. She is the doll who breaks chains. Together, they will either destroy each other... or rule the world. -- THIS IS BOOK1 OF THE HEIRS TRILOGY. THIS NOT A STANDALONE. -- "She ruined me once. Now I'll ruin her forever." --Complete

Sacrifice For The Job
(This story is mostly smut as I plan on my next release being more innocent and lacking in that area. It also focuses very little on side characters since I wanted to keep the story short after feeling like my more recent stories have been a bit too long) After having the glow up of her dreams, Aria Hart finally believes she can get and do anything she wants. With that in mind, she goes after the job her ill uncle had always dreamt for her. She knows it will make him proud and believes pretty privilege will work in her favor. To her surprise, when she finally speaks to the man in charge, Elijah Caddel, she realizes that pretty privilege comes with a lot more opportunities than she previously imagined. Not all of them great. Aria finds herself in a deal she would have never imagined. One that actually makes her scowl upon hearing it. But when that deal can make or break her promise to her sick uncle, she feels she has no other choice but to accept it. After hearing the severity of the terms and experiencing it firsthand, Aria can't decide how she feels about their new agreement. Or how she feels about Elijah. (Similarly to "No Good For You", this story only details the start of their relationship. Not the during.) (Warning: this story is for readers 21+, intense smut scenes and language are included. Reader discretion advised.) (Story does switch POVs)Complete
