The circus gave him a stage.
The shadows gave him a choice.
At nineteen, Marcel Lefevre knows how to dazzle a crowd. Raised under canvas and stars, he's mastered the art of illusion-leaping, twisting, surviving. But when a fateful performance at an aristocratic gala leads to a secret mission, Marcel finds himself part of a world where truth is fluid and trust is deadly.
Caught between loyalty to the only family he's ever known and the seductive promise of purpose from the Obsidian Syndicate, Marcel faces a question no acrobat can avoid forever: when you fall, who catches you?
L'Enfant du Cirque is a haunting tale of espionage, identity, and the thin line between performance and reality.

The High Class of Europe. Or should I say the vampires? Everybody knows they exist, yet it is an unspoken rule to stay silent about them. You wouldn't want to risk one of them hearing you talk bad about them. The punishment for something as simple as that is unspeakable. The Vampires have built an empire from the dirt of London and have reigned for thousands of years. They continue to drag terror everywhere they step. Now in every high class, there's the low respected, middle of the pack, and the elites. Obviously, none are as interesting as the Elites of society. The cremé of the crop. Allow me to introduce you to Zara Delcour, Kaspian Auclair, Mackenzie Rousseau, and Nox Toussaint, the most powerful young adults of them all. And the great thing is? They're not going anywhere. But people are always looking for the next best thing or the next biggest deal. Alliances are formed. Threats are made. And it's all one big game of chess. + Due to harsh imagery, descriptive visuals, possible triggering moments, and certain mature themes in this novel, it is rated MATURE. There will be trigger warnings at the start of the chapters where mature scenes are held for those of you who would prefer to skip over them! (I cannot guarantee that you won't miss something crucial to the novel in those scenes.)Complete

Perish
They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut.

The Darkness Between Us
Emmylene Lantsov built herself from the ashes of a stolen childhood. Cold, brilliant, and untouchable - nothing gets to her. Until the letters start coming. Anonymous. Cryptic. Threatening. And they know things they shouldn't. Enzo Steele is the elder son of the family- charming, ruthless, and born to inherit his father's empire. He's been trained to eliminate threats... not receive them. But someone's watching him too. And the riddles they leave behind are only getting darker. When the letters don't stop, Emmylene and Enzo are forced into an uneasy alliance. But the deeper they dig, the more tangled their lives become - because these messages don't just connect them in the present. They tie them to a past neither of them knows - a secret powerful enough to ruin everything. And maybe... to destroy them both. Because the truth isn't just buried - it was never meant to be found.Complete

Hollow Heir
The Thibaults are Monaco's crown jewels in all but name. Ambassador Henri Thibault and his wife, Marianne, are fixtures of international diplomacy, their four sons raised in wealth, prestige, and constant attention from the press. Adrien is the graceful eldest, already groomed for power. Étienne is a flamboyant social media darling with the world's fastest-selling fashion line. Lucien, the youngest, thrives on chaos. And then there is Gustave. Sixteen, polite, trained, and always on display - yet hollow. He can dance with royals, navigate the cameras, and charm with a smile, but inside he feels nothing. His solace lies in his pocketbook sketches and the stars overhead, far from the lights of his family's world. When his father's new post as ambassador takes the Thibaults to Washington, D.C., the spotlight only grows brighter. But in the shadows of power and privilege, Gustave finds himself drawn toward something unexpected: moments of danger, service, and quiet humanity that could finally make him feel alive. In a family defined by spectacle, Gustave must discover whether a hollow heir can become something more.
Tidebound - Wriolette AU
TIDEBOUND - In the depths of Fontaine, nothing stays buried forever. When a series of escalating terror attacks shakes the city of light, two men find themselves drawn together by duty, mystery-and a little girl caught between their worlds. Wriothesley, a hardened tactical officer, will do anything to protect his stepdaughter Sigewinne-even if it means facing the ghosts of a past he thought he'd buried. Neuvillette, a quiet elementary school teacher and part-time judge, believes justice can still be kind-but the tides of unrest are rising fast, and compassion is no longer enough. Beneath Fontaine's shimmering surface, a forgotten people prepare to rise. Led by a woman whose grief has turned to fury, the Fleuve Cendre are no longer asking to be seen-they're demanding it, in fire and flood. As Fontaine trembles under the weight of long-ignored injustice, Wriothesley and Neuvillette must decide what they're willing to lose to protect the ones they love-and whether the tides will bind them together, or pull them apart.
