The illegitimate and only child of the late King's, late Executioner, Alva Vermillion had seemingly faced and overcome her own share of life hurdles. With two and twenty years behind her, she was more than ready to lay back and enjoy the rest of her life as a healer, single and deliciously alone when powerful and merciless King Claw sets his sights on her.
With her conniving long-lost mother plotting to drive a stake into the heart of the King she's come to respect and grudgingly love, a slimy Lord with lustful thoughts who is determined to add her to his harem, a nosy friend and an uphill battle on the horizon, Alva must inevitably armor herself for whatever may lay ahead and discover if she, indeed, has what it takes to be queen. Fast.

His Majesty's Captive
"At least I am a whore to a respectable man and not a monster like you!" "Monster? Is that what you still think me to be?" There was a smirk on his lips as he brought his face closer, brushing his nose against mine, "Well let me show you how a monster behaves!" The moment his words came out, his hands were on my waist, gripping me and throwing me over his shoulders. I yelled, kicking and throwing my hands but he paid no heed and threw me on the bed. I immediately got on all fours trying to crawl away but he grabbed my ankle forcing me down. "Let me go!" I screamed at him. He didn't comply, instead, I felt him atop my back, our limbs aligning perfectly as he placed a hand on my neck, gripping it softly but still forcing my head to the bed. **** When Princess Fiona is dragged to the kingdom of the fearsome Dragon King, she expects death. Instead, she speaks a word that shocks even her, mate. But King Octavius wants nothing to do with her. Not the daughter of a man he believes betrayed his kingdom. Not a woman who arrives at his doorstep with another man's child. Not the wolf-blooded girl who dares claim they're fated. He strips her of her crown, brands her a slave, and swears to break her. Yet, the bond she claimed starts to burn in him too. And the more he pushes her away, the more drawn he becomes to her secrets, her scars, and the forbidden mark she hides. Fiona must protect her child, hide the truth of her power, and survive the ruthless politics of Velmora's court. But when passion clashes with vengeance, and a forgotten curse awakens, desire might not be enough to save them.

Sacrifice For The Job
(This story is mostly smut as I plan on my next release being more innocent and lacking in that area. It also focuses very little on side characters since I wanted to keep the story short after feeling like my more recent stories have been a bit too long) After having the glow up of her dreams, Aria Hart finally believes she can get and do anything she wants. With that in mind, she goes after the job her ill uncle had always dreamt for her. She knows it will make him proud and believes pretty privilege will work in her favor. To her surprise, when she finally speaks to the man in charge, Elijah Caddel, she realizes that pretty privilege comes with a lot more opportunities than she previously imagined. Not all of them great. Aria finds herself in a deal she would have never imagined. One that actually makes her scowl upon hearing it. But when that deal can make or break her promise to her sick uncle, she feels she has no other choice but to accept it. After hearing the severity of the terms and experiencing it firsthand, Aria can't decide how she feels about their new agreement. Or how she feels about Elijah. (Similarly to "No Good For You", this story only details the start of their relationship. Not the during.) (Warning: this story is for readers 21+, intense smut scenes and language are included. Reader discretion advised.) (Story does switch POVs)Complete
Book One: The Iron Divide
,,THE IRON DIVIDE" For generations, war has raged across Tharador, its origins forgotten by all. Maerith hides her identity as a knight, and Calyx is the man both feared and desired. Amid masks, intrigues, and deadly proximity, she must choose: trust... or survival. ... For decades, the great Houses of Veyren and Althaire have drowned the land in endless bloodshed, their feud dividing Tharador across mist-shrouded rivers. Maerith carries the legacy of her fallen father, once loyal to House Veyren, and knows survival is a battle of steel and shadow - but nothing could prepare her for Calyx Althaire: brilliant, ruthless, and feared by all, the one man who could decide her fate with a single motion. To him, she is the key - the one who could bring his enemy to ruin. Captured, betrayed, and forced into proximity with the enemy she was trained to hate, Maerith must navigate a world where every glance hides a blade, every word carries a threat, and trust is a luxury she cannot afford. As storms rage across Tharador, alliances twist and betrayals abound, pushing Maerith and Calyx toward a destiny that neither fully controls. Their journey will demand loyalty, cunning, and the kind of courage that can change the course of kingdoms. In a land ruled by blood, lies, and shifting loyalties, only one thing is certain: Maerith will not go quietly - and neither will he. Enemies to lovers. Masks and deception. Survival, desire, and power collide in a dark fantasy world where hearts are as dangerous as swords.

Veil of Control
Vesper has lived her life in the shadows, hiding a secret that could condemn her to chains- or worse. Born with forbidden telekinetic power, she knows what happens to those with gifts like hers: they vanish into the King's grasp, dragged from their homes and never seen again. Some say they're executed. Others whisper of hidden prisons beneath the palace. Vesper intends to find out. Disguised as a servant, she slips into the heart of the royal court, determined to uncover where the missing are taken and how she can help them. But the palace is a labyrinth of rivalries, lies, and hungry eyes, each more dangerous than the last. Prince Euris, the scholar with a kind smile and quiet defiance, draws her closer with a gentleness she hasn't known in years. With him, she begins to feel like more than just a survivor. But Euris is fighting battles of his own-and trusting him could tangle her heart in a war she can't afford to lose. And then there is Caen, the King's shadow and rumored telepath. His gaze strips her bare, his presence a weight pressing on her mind. Every encounter is a duel: his relentless probing against her fragile shields. Terrifying, magnetic, he knows she has secrets-and he won't stop until he unravels them. As war brews beyond the palace walls and loyalties fracture within them, Vesper finds herself caught between two powerful men, between desire and deception, between survival and sacrifice. But one truth grows sharper with every passing day: if she isn't careful, the palace will consume her, body and soul. And if Caen learns what she truly is, there will be no hiding at all.
