Bloom & Blood (Intersex)
In a world where loyalty is currency and power is everything, two women from opposite sides of life collide in a slow-burn love story laced with danger, healing, and passion. Siena Vale is a soft-hearted, resilient young woman trying to rebuild a quiet life after the death of her parents. With her teenage sister Lila depending on her, Siena puts her own dreams on hold, working multiple jobs and living in a cramped apartment with two close friends. Beneath her calm surface is a girl who's been through hell-especially with her ex-boyfriend Ethan, who started sweet but turned abusive and obsessive. Even after she left him, he continues to stalk and torment her, turning her daily life into a nightmare. Everything changes when Siena lands a job as a secretary at a private firm with intimidating luxury and tight security. It's there she meets Kingston "King" Moretti-a dominant, suited mafia stud with sharp eyes, quiet control, and a reputation soaked in blood and respect. Known as "The Stud King" in the underground world, King is a woman who commands fear in every room she enters-fierce, calculated, and unshakable. But beneath her tailored armor is a deeply private soul who's used to protecting everyone but herself. Siena is unlike anyone King has ever encountered-gentle, kind, and utterly unfazed by power. She's not afraid to speak up, even when her voice shakes. Her softness challenges King's cold world. And when King discovers the shadows chasing Siena-an ex who won't let go-her instinct is immediate and fierce: "Nobody hurts what's mine." What starts as protection evolves into something deeper. Sparks fly in the quiet glances, in late-night talks, in the way Siena softens King's hardened edges. But love doesn't come easy in a world like King's. As enemies close in and Ethan grows more dangerous, Siena finds herself caught between the peaceful life she wanted-and the dangerously beautiful woman who makes her feel truly safe for the first time.Complete

Remi's Great Escape (Forestfolk Prequel)
Before he ever met Siena, before he knew Foresthome even existed, Remi was an Aberration living under the iron-fisted rules of his tribe. Learn how a spirited and resourceful 12-year-old boy ousted his Plainsman oppressors in this prequel to the Forestfolk series. A little shoutout to maniacgirl for inspiring the title of this story. Though the events in this short story take place before Book 1 in the series, I recommend reading it AFTER you finish "Siena." I think it will be more satisfying that way, because then you'll understand the little Book 1 references I've planted here and there. Finally, the format of the title and cover for this story is different from the rest of the series. That's because I consider this to be bonus material rather than a continuation of the series. It's only 12 chapters long. I may change the cover at some point, but in the meantime, this is what I have. :)Complete
