The Ravenswood Reckoning
The town of Ravenswood has always had its secrets-whispers of disappearances, strange rituals, and a curse that binds the land in darkness. At the heart of it stands Ravenswood Estate, a decaying monument to a family whose legacy is written in blood. When Elias Ravenswood IV is found murdered in his own home-his body posed in a grotesque ritual, his lips sewn shut with golden thread-Detective Celeste Marlowe is called to unravel the mystery. A seasoned investigator with ghosts of her own, Celeste knows that some cases never truly end. As she steps into the shadowed halls of the Ravenswood Estate, she feels it instantly: this house is not just a crime scene. It's alive. And it's waiting. The deeper she digs, the more the walls seem to close in. The townspeople speak of a family curse, of a reckoning long overdue. The suspects-each with their own secrets-drip with guilt, but something far worse lurks beneath the surface. The clues don't just point to Elias's death; they lead Celeste back to a night long buried in her own past, a night she has no memory of... but one that has never forgotten her. As the bodies start to pile up, Celeste realizes she isn't just hunting a killer-she is part of the story, a thread in a tapestry of death woven long before she was born. Someone has been waiting for her to return. And they won't let her leave. In Ravenswood, the past never dies. It waits.Complete

Talk of the Ton | S. Basset DoH
Grosvenor Square, 1813 The London Social Season has only just begun. With presentations before Her Majesty and new scandals simmering beneath the surface, one must wonder-how will this season unfold? This author, for one, cannot wait to find out. Consider, dear reader, the household of the Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton-who shall not only be shepherding her eldest daughter, Miss Daphne Bridgerton, but also her younger daughter, Miss Elena Bridgerton, through the dizzying whirl of the ton's festivities. Will they find their perfect matches? }~~~~~~~~~~~{ Miss Elena Bridgerton, though perhaps more open to the notion of marriage than her younger twin, Miss Eloise, remains a creature of intellect and curiosity. Her passion for knowledge-and for freedom-burns as brightly as any candle in the Bridgerton library. Follow her as she navigates the intricate waltz between love and liberty, striving to hold onto what little independence society allows her. Simon Basset, the newly minted Duke of Hastings, has but one purpose in London: to settle his late father's affairs before returning to Clyvedon. In no need-and even less desire-of a wife, the Duke has sworn never to marry. But will his resolve remain unshaken once he encounters the spirited and deceptively innocent Miss Bridgerton? Note: This story may include a touch of Daphne-bashing, as her role fades to the periphery while Elena takes center stage. Many familiar scenes will be reimagined and altered to fit this new narrative. Thank you, dear reader, for joining me on this journey. I do hope you enjoy.Complete
Anyone But Her
Wren and Kenna hated each other in high school. Now mature-ish adults, they still hate each other. The problem? They're engaged. A year away from marriage, according to two of the most powerful people in the world: their parents. ***** Wren Castile and Kenna Gold are engaged...because their parents say so (and no, they're not kidding). Wren has one year to marry her former nemesis, or else. The fact that Kenna emulated her infamously anti-gay father throughout high school seems to be irrelevant--even to Kenna herself. Suddenly Wren and the girl she never wanted to see again are on the same (bickering) side as they face mandatory dates, disastrous family get-togethers, and their unhappy past. Wren is filled with mistrust, but to protect her heart, she might just have to sit back and let it lead the way. Content/Trigger Warning: This story contains references to and/or scenes of homophobia, childhood trauma, bullying, violence, and suicide.
