What lengths would you go to for love?
Sophie Burgess arrives at the lakeside mansion of Fern Deane to work as literary assistant to Elizabeth St Clair. Her garrulous elderly employer rules the household with an iron fist, and Sophie is forced to overcome her fear of drowning when Elizabeth discovers she cannot swim.
When Michael St Clair, the enigmatic heir to Fern Deane, draws her into his troubled and fascinating psyche, Sophie finds herself falling in love.
But there are secrets hidden within Fern Deane's walls too dark to let out and too demanding to fulfil. When Sophie finds herself caught between reality and what really lies beneath, she must literally choose between life and death.
Based around the water nymph mythology, Undine explores the depths of the human and elemental heart, its hopes and fears and just how far love can be tested. Come, if you dare, on a journey into the dark and terrible stuff of legends.

Tethered in Darkened Veins - [Dean Winchester x FMC]
Cassandra Blackwood has been running her whole life-first from a father who raised her in blood and fear, then from the shadows of the supernatural world that never stopped calling her back. Hunting is all she's ever known, and loneliness has become her only constant. Until the night she crosses paths with the Winchester brothers. Reunited with her childhood friend Sam and thrown into the orbit of his older brother Dean, Cassie is drawn into a hunt that will change everything. What begins as a fight against a nightmare creature becomes something far more dangerous-a discovery of a bond that ties her fate to Dean's in ways neither of them can escape. Haunted by old scars, hunted by a witch who covets their connection, and torn between love and survival, Cassie must decide how much of herself she's willing to risk. Because in a world where monsters wear many faces, the deadliest leash of all may be the one that runs through her own veins. Tethered in Darkened Veins is a story of love forged in fire, bonds tested by blood, and the fight to hold onto humanity when the darkness comes calling.Complete
The Vipers Temptation | Completed
After a failed attempt at a relationship, I try to make it on my own. However, I end up with a new neighbor who exudes charm, danger, and sexual energy as if it's a job. To make matters worse, I find myself semi-kidnapped by the same dangerous, foul-mouthed, rude neighbor who turns out to be a part of the Italian Mafia. Now, I'm stuck riding shotgun while being chased by gun-wielding maniacs on our way to someplace "safe." I'm beginning to think this is my new reality. *Trigger Warning* Graphic violence, explicit mature scenes, and non-consensual touching (not from the main love interest).Complete

Tricking Astrid
Astrid was crazy about her boyfriend Remy, but something drew her to the new boss Calder, making her want to revert to shameful tendencies where nothing mattered as long as a burning passion waited. Choosing one man over the other sends Astrid into a tailspin, causing her to do things she never dreamed of, but maybe she doesn't have to choose-if she overcomes her distrustful insecurities. Remy knows Astrid is the one, his last chance at love, but every day he withholds his true self; she slips further away. His past is one of tragic endings and police reports. When another man tries to steal his girl, all his demons come home to roost as he struggles to let Astrid make her own choices in love. Keeping her from discovering how dark his taste can become impossible when all he wants is to keep her pleading his name-either in ecstasy or pain. Calder comes from a family demanding he always remain perfectly golden. Meeting Astrid unbalanced his life, falling for her sweet smiles and genuine interest in him, not just his wealth. Remy was not a threat because he trusted Astrid to make her own decisions in love and life. Lies unravel, bets are made, and violence ensues, drawing all three together in a way no one expected but one twisted individual in the shadows taunting their happiness with promised spilled blood. *WARNING INTENDED FOR 18 AND OLDER READERS.
