A Siren's Song: From Salt and Blood
The sea remembers every promise broken. Mazikeen was born of storm and song - a siren whose voice can bend the will of men and still the tides themselves. When her queen commands her to wed a high fae king, she agrees for the sake of peace between sea and shore. The ocean grows restless, its tides dark and uneasy, but Maze tells herself it's only nerves - not omen. Far from the waves that shaped her, she must learn to survive among fae courts built on power and deceit, where beauty is a weapon and kindness can kill. Yet beneath the glitter of diplomacy, something ancient is stirring - and when betrayal comes, it will awaken the storm within her. Because the sea does not forgive. And neither does she.
Chronicles of Flames
The powers that come with a covenant are strong, intoxicating and head-turning. Like a surfer on the waves, you feel on top of the world. Until the wave comes tumbling down, crashing upon you. Such was the case of Ella Macmillior alias Aquifer, chosen of the Seven Seas to open the portal for Lord Dagon, Leviathan, Behemoth and the Queen of the Coast to invade the earth realm. She didn't ever want to be controlled. She wanted to control. Unfortunately, that wasn't to be the case. She was destined to be a mere tool to be used and dumped. A slave. There was no backing out. She was stuck deep in the mud. The heat was stifling, gradually siphoning life out of her. Until she encountered her means of escape. Until she broke free from a lifelong shackle. Or so she thought... Beware, lest your foe pounces upon you like an unsuspecting prey. Beware, lest you are led to assume that the flame of evil has been quenched. Because, as you stomp on one, squelching the flickering embers, the minions are just around the corner, gathering sticks to ignite another fire. Ella Macmillor, chosen vessel of the seven seas who has water-bending powers, meets Deborah, a vessel of the One called the Redeemer, and breaks free from the clutches of her captors-Mergirlina, her assigned mermaid demon, Leviathan, Behemoth and Queen of the Coast and the head of them all, the ancient Lord Dagon. Find out how she battles her hideous past, finds her formerly unknown siblings, finds love and becomes truly free. ~~~ Second place winner of The Seasonal Contest Awards, paranormal category. #tsc22 First place winner of The Phoenix Awards 2022, Mystery and thriller category.Complete

When Mikha Lim, a rebellious bartender with a bad reputation, is hired to work at an exclusive high-end club, she doesn't expect to catch the attention of Aiah Arceta, a cold and powerful CEO known for her ruthless business tactics. Aiah is used to control-over her company, her image, and most of all, her emotions. But Mikha? She's temptation in its rawest form: a challenge, a risk, a storm she never saw coming. What starts as a dangerous game of teasing glances and stolen touches quickly spirals into something neither of them can resist. Aiah finds herself craving Mikha in ways she's never craved anyone, and Mikha? She's addicted to the way Aiah falls apart under her touch. But love isn't easy when secrets, power, and control are in play. And when Aiah's carefully built world starts to crumble, will she fight for Aiah-or will she run from the one thing she can't control? Mikha leans in, her breath hot against Aiah's ear. "Tell me you don't want this," she whispers, fingers trailing down the silk of Aiah's dress. Aiah grips the edge of the bar, knuckles white, her body betraying her as she shudders. "I don't-" But the lie dies on her lips as Mikha presses against her, lips barely grazing her neck. "Then stop me," Mikha challenges. But Aiah doesn't stop her. Instead, she lets herself drown in the fire Mikha ignites-because for once in her life, she's tired of being in control. But the deeper they fall, the harder it is to tell... Is this love? Or just a beautifully crafted destruction? In a world where power is everything, surrendering to temptation might just cost them both their lives. Disclaimer: This is a work of pure fiction.

Drowning Beneath The Waves
(Underwater Murder Series spin-off; Book 2 in the Family Ties Series) "Some days, I feel everything at once. Other days, I feel nothing at all. I don't know what's worse: drowning beneath the waves, or dying of thirst." At this point in her life, the above quote basically sums up Faye Mercer. After being diagnosed with depression two years ago, it's all she can do to keep a smile on her face, keep being positive and happy. The demons of her past have kept her beneath the waves for months now, hardly allowing her to breathe. From nightmares to insomnia, she can't seem to catch a break. Her reputation as a Siren has thrust her into a spotlight for which she wasn't prepared; to say nothing of her PTSD associated with said reputation. Her parents and brother are doing their best to carry on as normal as possible, but even they have tough days. If it wasn't for Waverly, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed. It all comes to a head one day when she receives a letter inviting her to a special 'for Sirens only' concert. She hasn't used her voice in years, hasn't even allowed herself to even entertain the thought. Will she be able to keep her head above water, or will she find herself flailing, drowning all over again? Read to find out.Complete

When an encounter with a frost-beast awakens the dormant Ice Dragon Slayer magic within him, Meliodas becomes something new-something the world hasn't seen before. His heart is torn between two natures: the flowing mercy of water and the unforgiving stillness of ice. As he travels the land, crossing paths with mages, guilds, and foes alike, Meliodas must learn to control the storm within him before it consumes everything he loves. For in the north winds, an ancient force stirs-one that remembers the dragons, and the boy who carries their legacy in his soul. Elemental magic. Lost dragons. A hero forged by the tides.

At just 23, she is the youngest Cardiothoracic surgeon in the Philippines and already heads her department at St. Luke's Global City. Calm, composed, and enigmatic, she's often called the "Face Card" of the hospital not just for her striking, androgynous beauty but for the way she commands a room.
