Aadhya: The Phoenix Within
A sequel to Aadhya- The Phoenix's Fury (Previously known as "Aadhya- the life journey of a woman.") But you can read this as standalone too. Still, I suggest reading that before, to understand the second part easily. It only has 33 chapters in book-1 so, give it a read if time permits or else you can read this as standalone. Aadhya- The Phoenix Within (Previously known as Aadhya- and her journey towards love) Aadhya, the woman, who is broken from inside. Shourya, a man who is ready to fix Aadhya's broken heart. The story of a woman who hates men and the man who respects women. Aadhya never wanted to start a family again after what happened to her in the past. Shourya always wanted to start a family as soon as possible. Does this go any further when they two have different opinions on life? Will she ever accept his love and trust him even after so many betrayals? The story of a CEO and an assistant, but for a change here, the CEO is Aadhya, and the assistant is Shourya. Warning: this story contains sexual harassment, child abuse, usage of drugs, panic attacks, depression... Start date: 1st December 2023 End date: ongoingComplete

The seven kingdoms of Evangelina
In a world fractured by ancient magic, seven kingdoms stand on the brink of chaos. Shadows rise from forgotten places, and the balance between light and darkness is breaking. Nanì Clearwater, a young healer born with only one wing, has lived his life as an outcast. His gift to channel light is both a blessing and a curse, forcing him to walk the fragile line between survival and sacrifice. When a mysterious illness known as the Black Hunger begins to spread across the land, Nanì finds himself entangled in a destiny far greater than his own. Drawn into court intrigues, rebel plots, and forbidden prophecies, Nanì must journey across kingdoms where mythical beasts rule the skies and sacred forests whisper with memories of gods. Beside him stand unlikely allies-his loyal sister Arlina, the fierce Lydia, and Wayne, a knight bound to duty but hiding his own secrets. But as Nanì's dreams grow darker and the voice of a forgotten deity calls his name, he learns that his gift is the key to sealing-or shattering-Evangelina's fate forever. A tale of courage, betrayal, and forbidden love, The Seven Kingdoms of Evangelina is the first chapter of an epic saga where every choice leaves a scar... and even light casts shadows. This is a work in progress. What you'll find here are the first chapters of a story I've been carrying in my heart for a long time. My hope is to share this dream with you, to receive your feedback, and to grow together with every page. I truly wish you can fall in love with Evangelina's world as much as I have while creating it.
Radiance Unbound
Once worshiped as a living saint, Serenya of the Radiant Temple was raised to believe her glow was divinity itself. But when her first taste of power erupts in blood and fire, she learns the truth: she is not a vessel of holiness, but a witch-an elemental force the priests have bound, controlled, and lied to for years. Hunted through a city that now calls her a monster, Serenya finds herself chained not by faith, but by desire. Her only ally is Kaelen, a ruthless mercenary whose touch ignites both fury and forbidden hunger. He offers her no salvation-only a dangerous choice: embrace the wildfire inside her, or let it consume her. But Serenya is not the only one. There are others-sisters she has never known, bound by blood, scattered across the world. To find them, she must first survive Malrik, the High Inquisitor, whose fanatical hunt for witches has already stained the streets with their corpses. Darkly sensual, violent, and unflinchingly erotic, Radiance Unbound is the first chapter of The Daughters of Desire and Doom-an epic fantasy romance saga of raw power, wicked temptation, and a family of witches destined to burn the world or save it.
Irresistible Sin...
Eva never thought her father's decision to send her to live with her uncle Damien for college would turn her world upside down. The distance from home seemed ideal at first-until she stepped into Damien's house and realized how dangerously close she would be to the one man who had always been a constant in her life. Damien, a successful and charismatic businessman, has always seen Eva as family-but that was before she grew into a stunning, independent woman. Now, every glance, every touch between them feels charged with an electric tension neither can deny. Forbidden desire simmers beneath the surface, threatening to consume them both. As the days pass, their attraction intensifies in ways that neither can control. What starts with heated glances and lingering moments quickly escalates into something far more dangerous. Torn between guilt and longing, they find themselves unable to resist the burning desire pulling them closer. Each stolen moment feels like a sin, but it's one they can't walk away from. Caught in a web of passion, secrecy, and a love that defies everything they've ever known, Eva and Damien must face the inevitable question: Can they fight the pull of their irresistible desire, or will they surrender to it, no matter the cost?Complete
Moon Blessed
For three-hundred years, the five kingdoms in the land of Damir have lived at peace with one another, but tensions are rising once more. Rumors abound that an ambitious Emperor seeks to conquer the entire land and claim it for his own. Desperate to prevent this plot from coming to light, the King and Queen of Nyctoli arrange a tournament in the hopes of uniting the five kingdoms under a different goal: winning the hand of their daughter, Princess Nastasia. Being the first Moon Blessed in centuries is a gift, but also a curse. All her life, Nastasia has been treated as a precious treasure meant to be hidden and guarded, for every Moon Blessed before her led a life leading to martyrdom, and many are afraid that her fate will be the same. Now, Nastasia has gone from being a treasure to a prize. That isn't something she can quietly accept. An air of danger looms and Nastasia is determined to forge her own path before she is forced down the same one her predecessors trod. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, depression, gore, PTSD, and other topics which some might find triggering.
