Blossom
A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

But when a string of child sacrifices leads her back to the ancient forest where her magic was born - and to Morrigan, the immortal queen of witches and her former lover - Evelyn is forced to confront a truth more dangerous than any curse. Morrigan has lived over a thousand years, preserved by blood rituals and the screams of the innocent. But she's not the villain Evelyn remembers. Not entirely. And when a primeval force awakens beneath the ruins of their shared past - a forgotten god that feeds on love, regret, and memory - they must forge a fragile alliance. To stop the end of all things, Evelyn and Morrigan must walk through fire together once more. And one of them may not walk back out.
