Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Rise of the Flamebearer
I was bred to obey. I obeyed when they gave me to a man I barely knew. I obeyed when my cousin took my husband's bed. I obeyed even when I carried his child. Then he burned me alive. I woke up months before the pyre. I found myself back with the same husband and the same traitors, but I remember every detail of what they did to me. This time, I am not the victim. I am the architect of their downfall. Caelan Vorenthal is my husband's greatest rival. He is a shadow in a court of vipers and the only man who saw the truth when everyone else stayed silent. Now he is offering protection. An alliance. A connection that feels less like safety and more like a threat to the walls I have built. Can I trust the one man who could destroy everything? Or is he the weapon I never knew I needed? I was bred to obey. Now I choose who burns. ____________________________________________ The Details - A second chance fueled by the memory of fire - The silent marriage and the loud betrayal - The rival ally who should not be trusted - A heroine reborn to take back her agency - Tense attraction that feels like a risk - Slow burn romance and high-stakes secrets - Spicy scenes and intense emotional payoffs - A fight for survival and the ultimate revengeConcluida
Aurelia
She was supposed to break. Instead, she became the sharpest blade. She used to dream of soft hands and warm voices. Instead, she learned to mend broken ribs and silence her own screams. They called her a burden. She became a weapon. Now Aurelia walks through her memories barefoot - bleeding, stubborn, alive - refusing to let the past decide how her story ends. **Book 2 of the Hunt Series. (Standalone.)**Concluida

Aadhya Agarwal, 24, a young fashion designer with dreams dipped in red, lives like the warm glow of a diya on a quiet night. She's soft in the way she speaks, fierce in the way she loves, and carries that sunshine energy that makes people feel lighter just by standing near her. She believes in soulmate-level love, in rituals, in anklets that jingle when she walks toward a future she's always imagined for herself. Abhinav Malhotra, 30, a CEO carved out of discipline and silence, moves through life like a man who's forgotten what warmth feels like. His world is made of glass offices, cold coffee, and unspoken fears. Stoic eyes, quiet voice, careful steps - the sort of man who keeps his heart locked behind his ribs because he's convinced it doesn't deserve a home. She wants a real marriage. He gives her a contract instead. No reasons. No explanations. Just rules. But every rule shakes when her warmth collides with his silence, when her middle-class softness enters his billionaire world, when her brightness starts cracking the walls he's spent years building. Two strangers. One contract. A house full of tension. A heart full of secrets. A marriage that was never meant to feel this real. Tropes: ✨ arranged marriage ✨ contract marriage ✨ grumpy × sunshine ✨ rich × middle class ✨ fall-first-but-deny-it ✨ slow-burn tension ✨ emotional healing arcConcluida
Timeless
Constantine was tasked to manage the property of her late great aunt Marta. When she expected to find nothing more than old furniture and echoing silence, she found and old book-and a story of an old tragic love written on its margins. As Constantine reads each page and note, her own life, which she held on in tight control, begins to unravel: betrayal, broken trust, passings, and loneliness trying to swallow her whole. Between the spaces left behind by a broken heart, would she still be able to believe in a promise of happiness? Across generations, two stories of love begin to intertwine: one a hidden history forgotten by time, one rebuilding on its broken pieces. This is a story of discovery, of rediscovery, of healing, and connection. And that love, be it past or present, has a way to change one's life in the smallest of ways. *Note: This is a slow burn story with LGBTQ themes, even though it was not directly stated. Updates will be SUPER sporadic, but I'll try to post every chapters I've finished.
