Eden has spent her entire life outside the city slums of Hell's capital.
Growing up, she had quickly learned just how different she was. Her outlandish sense of morality isolated her from the locals and her family alike. She lacked the demonic blood that pulsed with malice in each of them, a frail fledgling that didn't belong.
Trapped in a dizzying nightmare realm, she desperately searches for the drive to face each day.
Desperate to catch a break from her controlling father figure, Osiris, Eden regularly tags along with her older brother and his gaggle of misfits. She never would have anticipated that a silly lore and some poking around would lead to an open opportunity for escape.
But can she really manage to navigate a realm as different as Earth?

(BWWM) For the women who crave raw, jealous, possessive sex. "My wife," he growls, his voice rough with restraint, as his lips trail down my neck. I moan softly, threading my fingers through his hair, his touch burning despite the chill of his kisses. His hands grip my waist, firm and possessive, anchoring me to him. "Your wife," I whisper breathlessly, my body trembling as a shiver of pleasure ripples down my spine. He pulls back with a low groan, his eyes dark and hungry. "I can't," he murmurs, his voice tight, as if holding back is its own torment. I tug him closer, my nails grazing his scalp. "Just be gentle," I plead, my voice heavy with need. His gaze searches mine, a storm of hesitation and desire. "Are you sure?" "Yes," I breathe, my resolve unwavering. The moment the word leaves my lips, he's on me. His mouth crashes into mine, the kiss hot and consuming, as if he's starved for me. His hands slide up to my neck, one tangling in my hair, the other gripping my waist as he lifts me with ease. I gasp into his mouth as my legs wrap around his waist, feeling his hard dick press against me. Pinned against the wall, he grinds against me, each movement sending waves of heat coursing through me. My nails rake down his back as his lips claim mine over and over, his body pressed so close there's no space left between us. ~ Eden has always been a pawn in her father's game, and now she's forced into a marriage with the vampire prince of Trazethen.

Chained to The Throne (✔️)
Dark. Possessive. Enchanting. She never believed fate could be this cruel. One day she was just an ordinary woman - independent, bright, and unafraid to speak her mind - and the next, she was bound by the silent command of a man who ruled not only a kingdom, but every heartbeat that dared to defy him. He was a King feared by many - arrogant, ruthless, and dangerously calm. His silence carried more power than any threat, and his gaze was enough to make the strongest men kneel. No one questioned him. No one dared to say no. Until she did. Their marriage wasn't born from love, but from power - a deal wrapped in deceit and sealed by force. She was meant to be his ornament, his queen in name only. But something inside her refused to bend completely. And that defiance, that flicker of fire in her eyes, became the one thing he couldn't control. He told her love was weakness. Yet every time she looked away, his possessiveness deepened. Every time she cried, his anger turned to obsession. He could destroy empires, but not the storm she brought into his heart. Trapped between duty and desire, she learns that every chain he places around her is not just to bind - but to protect. The palace walls whisper secrets, his touch hides unspoken fears, and every night she wonders: is she his prisoner, or his queen? A mysterious, darkly romantic tale of power, betrayal, and a love that blurs the line between dominance and devotion. Because when the King falls for his captive, the kingdom itself trembles. 👑Complete

Gaslight Trials | The Wattys2023 Shortlister ✔️
| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins.

This means the vampire can only face a oblivion, if they are destroyed. A Thousand years ago, a young priest is seduced by a female vampire. As he begins to die, he has a choice to make. Either choose salvation, and let his guardian angel carry his soul to Heaven. Or, give into lustful temptation, and choose to stay on earth as a vampire.

He feels empty, longing for what he himself discarded. To his dismay, he soon falls in love with a human woman. He has three choices. He can turn her, kill her, or let her go. After raping her, and almost killing her because of his uncontrollable bloodlust, he chooses the latter. He watches her from a far, only to protrect her if need be. To his horror he soon learns that an Incubus, a fallen angel that sided with Lucifer against God, has also fallen in love with her. The demon will stop at nothing to make her his. Now the vampire must work with her guardian angel to protect her. The same angel who's love he had previously rejected. However the angel not only has a past with the vampire, but the incubus as well. Who's love will she ultimately choose in the end? Can she be protected in a fantasy world that the vampire creates for her. Or will she choose free will, and harsh reality in the end? Third person narrative, written in standard script.
