And what binds them together might be more dangerous than what's tearing her apart.

The Crimson Claim
In a city drowned in fog and shadows, Lucien has walked the centuries in silence, feeding without care, leaving no ties behind. Immortality has made him cold, careful, untouchable-until the night he meets her. She is a mortal girl with haunted eyes and a sketchbook full of secrets. One look is enough to unravel his restraint. Drawn to her in a way he cannot explain-or resist-Lucien begins to linger, to claim, to protect. His hunger is no longer for blood alone, but for the girl herself. Yet fascination is a dangerous thing. As she finds herself pulled into his world, her fear begins to blur into desire. Against her better judgment, she craves his presence, even as she feels the shadow of his possession tightening around her. Their bond is intoxicating, impossible, and inevitable. But in the dark, love and danger are indistinguishable-and surrendering to him might mean giving up more than her heart. The Crimson Claim is a gothic romance of hunger, obsession, and the terrifying beauty of belonging to a creature who will never let you go.
Her Beast
Everyone in the town of Ashwood had heard the stories. For generations, whispers of a Beast in the woods echoed through quiet kitchens and over flickering campfires. It was said to prowl the dense forest that circled the town like a watchful wall. No one had ever seen its face-only its outline. A hulking silhouette, barely distinguishable from the darkness itself, always watching, always just out of reach. Sometimes it appeared under the light of a full moon, lingering at the edge of vision before vanishing again for years. And when it returned, it brought a hush with it. Birds would fall silent. Dogs would cower. Shadows seemed to grow longer, colder. Most of Ashwood scoffed at the legends now. They called it a ghost story for children, a tale told to keep teenagers from wandering too far. But the ones who knew better-the ones who had seen the shadow moving between the trees-felt the truth in their bones. The Beast was real. And whatever it was waiting for, it was coming closer. But Zoey knew, he was coming for her. Romance Fantasy Novel A book full of romance, secrets, prophecies and much more!!Complete
