A teenage contortionist and a young cardsharp risk danger to right a family legacy of injustice....
Nineteen-year-old contortionist Ren Putri is committed to circus, study and self-discipline - in that order. But after being rescued from a carnival fire by cardsharp Zep Deal, she's overwhelmed by some highly disorderly thoughts. Zep has a long history of trouble, and now he's been suspected of sabotaging the circus that's become his whole life. Ren is already coping with family, and keeping secrets of her own - but she can't resist a mystery. Will Ren's penchant for solving puzzles bring the case against Zep to rights, or will digging further into the bad blood between rival carnivals only put them both in danger?

Don't Save Her
Eighteen-year-old Reyna knows struggle like most teens never will. Living in the crumbling heart of a poverty-stricken neighborhood, she's spent her life shielding her younger siblings from the chaos of their home. Their mother, lost in a haze of apathy and addiction, has left Reyna to juggle school, work, and the aching burden of being the only adult in their lives. Every day, Reyna dreams of escaping to college, where she hopes to build a better future for her family-but the odds seem impossibly stacked against her. When Noah, her childhood best friend, reunites with her with dreams of his own, Reyna begins to feel something she's never known: a chance for real happiness. But just as she starts to let her guard down, she begins to feel things for Ethan, a new friend with his own scars, who sees the fierce resilience in her and encourages her to chase her dreams without compromise. As Reyna navigates the deepening connections with Noah and Ethan, her love life becomes a maze of passion, loyalty, and doubt. But when her mother's neglect spirals into a crisis that threatens to tear her siblings apart, Mia faces an impossible choice: stay and sacrifice her dreams to protect her family or risk everything to chase a future that might not be hers to claim. Torn between love, responsibility, and her own ambitions, Reyna must decide whether she can rise above her shattered world-or if the weight of it all will hold her down forever. Don't Save Her is a raw, emotional story of resilience, sacrifice, and the unyielding fight to soar, even when the world seems determined to clip your wings.Complete
Solaris
Who would ever mourn someone like you? -- Priscilla Ridley has never known peace of mind. That is until a carousel appears outside of her home, there to whisk her away to Solaris, a circus rich in magic and dedicated to providing a safe haven to the lost or helpless. Priscilla finds herself quickly falling in love with her surroundings, captivated by the grandiose oddities Solaris has to provide. After years of nothing but heartache and trouble, Solaris is like a dream come true. Only, one should always be careful what they wish for. Solaris has a history steeped in secret and tragedy. It is far from the place it used to be, and even farther from the experience Priscilla was promised. Now trapped and with very few options, Priscilla must navigate the inner workings of the circus in order to win not only her freedom but the freedoms of everyone else around her. With no true way of knowing where true intentions lie, and no telling where truth ends and fiction begins, each decision is a gamble. One that very well may end in Priscilla becoming nothing but another name on the evergoing list of desecrated souls.
The Blood Crown
Love was never meant to be kind. It was war-brutal, unrelenting, and impossible to escape. Ermin never believed in love. Not after watching it destroy her mother, not after learning that trust was a weakness in a world that only took and never gave. But when she saves a wounded stranger, she doesn't realize she has just sealed her fate. He is dangerous, powerful, and bound to a past that drips with blood. And yet, no matter how much she tries to push him away, he keeps coming back. "Even if you hate me, you'll never be rid of me, Ermin." "I would rather die than belong to you!" "Then prepare to die a thousand times over because, I will never let you go." Their love is not gentle-it is possessive, reckless, and built on the ruins of everything they once knew. But in a world where power is everything and betrayal is inevitable, will they fight for each other-or become each other's downfall? But in a world where power is everything and betrayal is inevitable, will they fight for each other-or become each other's downfall? Ladies, he is what all the grand fuss is about.

Warning: DARK ROMANCE Story contains detailed mature scenes possessing dubious consent not recommended for age group below 18 years old. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Prologue Shadows engulfed his angelic features oozing devilish intentions. It wasn't until he took a step towards her did the gravity of situation descended upon and even then she couldn't do anything but shake in fear. She knew making a run for it won't do a thing, calling was not an option and if she screamed...she opened her mouth to shrill but a meek plea came out. Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering. In the moment of bewilderment and growing self awareness her tongue unconsciously wiped her lips wet and it was all it took for him to descent on her lips. Description Had it been upto him he'd have broken her down to pieces and never put her togather, instead, he let her build herself, he watched her collapse and stand, die and live, float and drown all the while playing her body like a putty in his hand. Her husband had never been gentle, his ways was one of his kind. He read her like a book and used her spells against her. She was vividly aware of what she was getting herself into but nothing could prepare her for the don who brought everyone on his feet and she was no exception. How would she survive his ways or even would she?Complete
Heirs And Hunters
"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
