Ainsley is a dragonblood princess, powerful but constantly restrained by her duties and her oppressive father, the king of Ellay. When a pirate crew makes a shaky truce with the king and asks for a guarantee of their safe travels around his country, he offers up Ainsley as an unwilling hostage and a show of good faith on his part. Ainsley suddenly finds herself powerless and trapped on a pirate ship, but the crew is nothing like what she expects, and neither is the lady captain, Gael, who defies every expectation and leaves Ainsley curious and unsure of where her loyalties lie. She tries her best to hate Gael and the pirates, but slowly, they're winning her over, and she must face the awful truth: to follow her heart will bring about catastrophic consequences, and she will need to be prepared to fight fire with fire.

The Swashbuckling Writer
A best-selling novelist, Bri writes the stories of her dreams. The swashbuckling pirate has haunted her mind since she was a child, yet the daring adventures and family-like-crew bring her a thrill she can't quite explain. Things take an unexpected turn, though, when her dreams begin to leak into the real world... and the dangers she thought lived only in her imagination become real. -- "W-why are y-you doing this?" my voice cracks and I hate it, but my emotions are an absolute train wreck at this point and I'm not sure what's going on. "Because I want to," he said seriously, looking at me with an intense look, "I do nothing I do not want to do." "Why me?" I whisper, unable to take my eyes away from his hands as he dips into the bag and pulls out a small truffle with decorative lines on the top. Dark chocolate with caramel inside... I know it just by looking at it, because it's one of my favorites. "Because you are the only one that deserves to be by my side," his words make no sense as he presses the truffle to my lips gently... and they part in obedience before I can even think about it. The way he smirks as he presses it against my tongue, his finger lingering on my lip before he finally sits back... is the chocolate melting or am I melting? "Good girl," he murmurs. Me. I'm melting. Got it. -- All of my stories feature LGBTQ+ characters: in this novel, the MC is bisexual, and many of the supporting cast are also LGBTQ+.

The Monster's Pearl (English excerpt)
There was once a castle. It was huge and dark, not a soul dared to go near it. It was called "The Gate of the Underworld" because a lonely man lived there. Rumor had it that he was a demon who had crawled out of hell. There was once a simple family. They had a healthy boy. He had black curls. They were so dark that even the night was afraid to get lost in them. His eyes were so bright that even the sun had to look away to avoid being blinded. His voice silenced the birds so that they could listen to him. The little boy grew up healthy, unaware of the background to his birth. On his eighteenth birthday, he received two suitcases and a letter that would change his whole life. Will he be able to adjust to his new life, or will he throw it all away?Complete
