A Vow of Thorns
In Victorian-era France, noble duty is everything especially for Victoria Everleigh, a sharp-tongued young woman being forced into an arranged marriage to restore her family's standing. Her betrothed, the brooding and untouchable Lord Easton Vale, sees her as nothing more than a spoiled pawn in a high-stakes game of power and prestige. But what begins as icy indifference quickly ignites into something far more dangerous. Beneath the ballroom masks and barbed words lies an undeniable pull neither of them can deny. As tension simmers behind closed doors, their reluctant alliance grows complicated especially with a jealous friend hiding secrets of her own, and a mother-in-law-to-be with motives deeper than tea and etiquette. In a world ruled by appearances, passion is the one sin they cannot afford, but it may be the only truth they have left. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance filled with scandal, secrets, and seduction.

Quiet, capable, and fiercely loyal, he's the kind of man who doesn't back down. Not from danger. Not from the truth. Not even when the weight of it could crush them both. Now they're fugitives, tangled in secrets they barely understand, and sleeping with one eye open in borrowed beds and backseat hideouts. The only thing more dangerous than what's chasing them is what's building between them. Because trust is a risk. And falling in love while the world is burning? That might be the most reckless escape of all.Concluída

In their verbal duels and dangerous encounters, hatred turns to obsession, and the lines between enemy and lover blur into something intoxicating. To destroy him, she must resist him.

A Study In Crimson
In a city of fog and secrets, some minds are more dangerous than the plots they unravel Gravenhollow is a city where shadows hide more than thieves and liars - they conceal horrors that defy reason. When Doctor John Watson returns home, he's drawn into the orbit of Alistair Thorne: a brilliant, unnervingly precise detective whose intellect borders on the inhuman. Together they confront impossible crimes, alchemical conspiracies, and a hidden underworld steeped in magic and madness. But as they delve deeper, Watson begins to suspect that the darkest mystery of all may be Thorne himself. A Victorian gothic mystery set in a fantasy world of alchemy, arcane science, and shadows. Inspired by Sherlock Holmes. Author's Note: A Study in Crimson is the first entry in The Thorne Case Files - a series of short prequel stories following Alistair Thorne, a Sherlockian detective of peculiar origin, and his companion Dr. John Watson. Originally conceived as a D&D character, Thorne's story reimagines the classic detective archetype through the lens of Victorian gothic fantasy, where alchemy replaces science, and reason grapples with the arcane. New chapters will be posted as they're completed. Reader theories and insights are always welcome
