Marked by Ruin
He was never meant to be mine. But when fate gave me a way in, I stayed. Alexander Kensington was born with everything, wealth, grace, legacy. But beneath the perfection lies ruin. A past no one sees. Scars no one touches. A soul quietly unraveling. When his twin sister vanishes days before her arranged marriage, Alexander is forced to take her place, an act of duty that sends him straight into the orbit of Atlas King. Dangerous. Unforgiving. Trapped in a world of violence and shadows. Atlas was never supposed to want him but Alexander was never supposed to feel like home. What begins as cold tension turns into something far more devastating. A slow, aching pull neither of them can escape. In stolen moments and fractured nights, two men learn to choose each other over and over again, even when the world demands they don't. But love, like ruin, leaves its mark and some scars were made to be worshipped.

A Crown of Carnations
Sir Astrael was once among the noblest of knights, serving his King with a loyalty deeper than blood and more devout than the most pious of priests. He burned down kingdoms and beheaded the Crown's enemies without question until he found himself at the opposite end of his King's sword, accused of crimes he would never have dared commit. When the royal blade pierced his heart, Astrael's sorrow gave way to an emotion much more dangerous: rage. Perhaps it was the searing heat of that fury that stirred the interest of a God who offered him a chance at vengeance by sending him two years into the past. Now, with his eyes finally opened and his heart burning with hatred, Astrael must find a way to get his revenge on the man who repaid his devotion with betrayal. But to do so, Astrael must join hands with a man whose heart he had once ripped apart, a man more beastly than most, but the only one powerful enough to help him rewrite fate.

I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim. He doesn't ask for my trust, he takes it, drags me into a world of lies, bold betrayals, and secrets I wasn't prepared to see. And the truth? I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems.

In a palace where beauty is judged by skin and worth is decided by blood, silence becomes survival. Vidya was never meant to belong there. Eighteen years old, dark-skinned, quiet, and invisible to the world, she was the daughter of a royal advisor who dreamed not of crowns, but of freedom, knowledge, and a life beyond the palace walls.
