In the early 1880s
On the majestic hills of Valencia there lies a house like no other. With its extravagant interior, encircling galleries, mysterious vaults and unseen passages this house is an agent of poetic justice.

The grandiose mansion isn't so grandiose after all. Will she be able to get away from all the lies and hatred in this new world or will Lorenzo García stop her before she can even see the half of her plans through.

A Veil of Ash and Glass
Althea Sombra was raised to be controlled. Her magic is powerful. Her family is feared. Her future has already been decided by rules older than she is. She knows how to obey, how to endure, how to survive without asking for more. She was never taught how to want. When Althea enters a world of elite power, ancient traditions, and carefully buried secrets, she expects politics. Rivalries. Quiet threats wrapped in polite smiles. She does not expect connection. What begins as tension turns dangerous when emotions start shaping magic, and choices begin to fracture everything Althea was trained to protect. The deeper she falls, the more her power evolves-and the more attention she draws from forces that were never meant to wake. Love is not safe. Power is not neutral. And some bonds are strong enough to anger gods. A Veil of Ash and Glass is a dark romantasy filled with: Slow-burn, high-tension romance Forbidden attraction and impossible choices A powerful heroine with evolving magic Family secrets, ancient rules, and consequences that hurt Love that refuses to stay quiet This is not a story about choosing the easy path. It's about what happens when love becomes the thing that changes everything. I will be posting this story on RR

Author's Note Welcome to The Attic in Willowbrook Falls. This story has lived in my mind for a long time-an eerie tale wrapped in secrets, shadows, and the kind of quiet tension only a small town can hold. I wrote this with the hope that you'd feel the chill of the woods, the weight of unspoken truths, and the heartbeat of a mystery that refuses to stay buried.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, theories, and reactions as the story unfolds.

As she digs deeper, she finds herself caught in a web of deception and danger - where every neighbor has something to hide, and the past refuses to stay buried. In a town where loyalty is tested and betrayal lurks behind every smile, she must confront the secrets that threaten to consume her before they destroy everything she holds dear.Complete
Drowned In Her Darkness (The Valmont Elite Academy #1)
Leaving home for Valmont Elite Academy was supposed to be freedom. My first choice. A chance to step out of my family's shadow and finally become who I was meant to be. But then I met her. A storm wrapped up in skin, with eyes that saw too much and a touch that burned deeper than fire. The closer I got, the more I realized nothing at Valmont was what it seemed- and neither was she. Because drowning in her darkness doesn't feel like falling. It feels like fate
A crown of Secrets and Fire
I grew up safe, protected, adored, certain of the life that awaited me. A grand estate, a devoted father... a wedding to the perfect man. But the altar crumbled beneath me, my world ripped apart in a heartbeat. The silk turned to ruin, vows to ash, and in one heartbeat, everything I knew was gone. I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim. He doesn't ask for my trust, he takes it, drags me into a world of lies, bold betrayals, and secrets I wasn't prepared to see. And the truth? I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems. And the man in the shadows... he is the storm I can't outrun. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.
