Meet Raphaël Sauvage, a wealthy recluse who's spent years mastering the art of solitude. He's traded friends for shadows and love for guilt, carefully curating his world into one of work and darkness. Everyday, he is haunted by his past. 

Enter Isabelle Fourie-his childhood friend turned chaotic whirlwind, returning to the Sauvage mansion as his new maid. Once his greatest childhood annoyance, Isabelle now barrels into his life with a loudmouth, a bright smile, and absolutely no regard for the rules. Her goal is to handle her new duties and avoid trouble, but that's easier said than done when she's drawn to the moody man she used to know. As Isabelle settles into the mansion, she's quick to uncover Raphaël's secrets-including his young, traumatized nephew, Rayan, who responds only to her unusual charm. 

Despite Raphaël's cold exterior, their childhood bond tugs at both of them. Each accidental touch, heated argument, and lingering glance pulls them back to memories of friendship, now tangled with a chemistry neither expected. 
For Raphaël, keeping Isabelle out of his heart is a battle he's losing with every smile she throws his way. For Isabelle, helping Raphaël heal his demons may be her biggest adventure yet. And as their past and present collide, the walls around his solitude crack, pulling them into a world of fiery banter, hidden emotions, and the unsettling realization that sometimes, the heart you try hardest to shut out is the one you need most. 

Solitude & Storms is a tale of childhood memories, haunted hearts, and a love that was written long before they knew it.

"Why are you here, sitting next to me? I thought I said you should never talk to me," I snapped at Nicolas. "Should I answer that or should I not talk to you?" He asked with a smirk planted on his handsome face and I narrowed my eyes at him. ****** Being a little person and standing at the height of 4'3" feet at the age of sixteen does not only scream abnormality for a teenage girl like Camilla. It alludes to constant bullying and struggles to fit in this big world. As if being the only little person in her family is not enough to make her feel strange. She has to deal with her over-protective mother, perfect brothers and high school. With all those unfair circumstances, It takes an average-height, hot-looking boy like Nicolas to make it 10x worse. Choosing her to be part of the boys' Hockey team leads to even bigger problems. As she discovers the reason behind Nicolas's sudden interest in her, it unravels a journey of discovery, never to be erased and a turn of events for the two contradicting characters. Limits are tested when overprotective mothers interfere. With an unruly, fine-looking boy with nothing to lose and an unparalleled girl like Camilla you never know where this journey will lead... If you want to hate, laugh, cry or scream in your pillow and dive into a love\ hate relationship with every character in a story then this is the perfect story for you.

Book 1 of The Fly Series . . . His eyes turn red and his jaw begins to tremble. "I'm toxic. I'm arrogant. I'm awful. What else? I'm a misogynist. A sadist. There's no good in me. I screwed up your life. I disgust you. I insulted your mother. You won't ever forgive me." He tightens his jaw before slamming his hand on the wall beside my head. "I know you want to say these things so say it. Tell me, Firefly. Tell me how traumatizing I am. TELL ME!" I don't hesitate. "I love you." His hooded eyes flaming with anger turn pale. He never expected the confession. Heck, I never expected this confession. 𝘕𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺. . . . Elena Summer is an upbeat, optimistic girl who is hopeful of a bright happy future despite her dark turbulent past. She is all set to begin her Senior Year back in her hometown--the one that the Summers eloped from when she was three. Justin Castor is the byword for toxicity, arrogance, and cold behavior. He isn't a bully by nature, he's a bully by choice. He embraces the darkness as his kingdom. But every dark villain is known to have a darker past, right? Less of a grumpy-sunshine genre and more of a dark-meets-light spin-off when the city of Cadford unites these paradoxes with one tangled story that all leads back to the past.

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes.

"Running from me already, little one?" The voice was a whisper against my skin, dark and knowing. I turned too fast. Too desperate. He was closer than I expected-tall, lean muscle wrapped in black silk. Whiskey-colored eyes traced my lips, my throat. Slow. Unrelenting. "Do I feel familiar?" I swallowed hard. "No." He smirked. "Liar." His fingers brushed my wrist, and a current shot through me. My breath hitched. My body knew him. Even if my mind refused to. But that was impossible... wasn't it? - Kathryn Laurent came to Paris for a fresh start. What she found was something else entirely-something dark, intoxicating, inescapable. The dreams started first. A man with burning whiskey eyes. A touch that ignited and destroyed in equal measure. A voice that echoed in her bones. In those dreams, he ruined her-slowly, relentlessly-until she woke trembling, her body marked by something that should not be real. Then she saw him. Flesh and blood. Real. A star. A shadow. A presence that bent the world around him. He watches her like he knows every inch of her body. Like he's had her before and intends to again. But Kate doesn't remember him. And he? He has spent centuries remembering her. The past is tangled in the present, passion twisted with possession, love with vengeance. He is both her salvation and her downfall. The man who haunts her dreams and now, her reality. And when he finally touches her, there will be no waking up from it. Some loves are written in the stars. Some are written in blood. And some were never meant to be forgotten. - Tropes & Themes : ★ Dark, seductive romance ★ Fated lovers, past-life obsession ★ Mysterious, brooding hero with a sinful touch ★ Tension so thick it lingers like a ghost ★ Paris-luxury, shadows, and whispered temptation ★ Dreams that leave evidence behind ★ Mature, explicit smut-raw, consuming, inevitable ★ A love too powerful to stay buried ★ The line between fate and possession 18+

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"
