After a brush with death, Lyra Hart fled to New York City with nothing but a single suitcase and her best friend by her side. Years later, she's become one of New York City's top lawyers, and a bona fide badass with a need for control. She's fierce, independent, and cold as ice.
Determined to stay single after her harrowing experience, Lyra keeps her heart well guarded, suspicious of everyone and trusting of no one. But what happens when girls' night out goes awry, and Lyra ends up in the arms of the only man who challenges everything she thought she knew? Will she give in to temptation? Or can she fight the magnetic force that draws them together?
___
Wren Munro is a powerful businessman. He's arrogant, broody, and hot as hell... And completely unattainable. He prefers his bachelor life, entertaining the company of women only when the mood strikes.
Until he sees her. Lyra Hart.
She's sassy, stubborn, and everything he never knew he wanted, yet more than he ever expected. But then she disappears, leaving him with nothing but unquenched desire and an insatiable need to have her. Just once. A single night, and then he can move on and go back to life as he knew it.
Or can he?
When two unexpected worlds collide, who will lose first in this seductive battle of the sexes?

You were just a little girl when he left for the war. Now, you're the woman who'll undo him. 1943. James Buchanan Barnes, the guy from Brooklyn, went off to fight in a war that would change everything. You were only eight-his little shadow on the building steps, the one he swore to protect. But war doesn't just break bones. It breaks time. Now, in a post-blip world, Bucky receives a forgotten file marked with his sister's name. It leads him to a cryogenic facility sealed decades ago... and to you. You're not the girl with scraped knees and shy smiles anymore. You're twenty-four, brilliant, beautiful-and wide awake in a world that moved on without you. He helped shape the woman you became. And now, he can't stop wanting you. A slow-burn, emotionally loaded, high-tension romance set after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. With flashbacks, guilt, longing, and heat. A lot of it.

A Heart Untamed
Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.Zakończone
Bow-Legged
Shall we do an experiment? Hear me out: an enemies-to-lovers where love is complicated but never toxic. Where the female lead knows what she wants and takes it. Where the male lead doesn't growl, rage or slam her into walls. A journey with all the angst, secrets, spice and heartbreak of dark romance without the abuse. Are you ready? ******************************************** It's 1984, Queen on the radio and rage in the streets. Moira Bourne, stretched thin between her nanny job, family drama and university classes, fights for the recognition she deserves. Evander Ward, fresh from a gap year in Europe and eager to prove himself, is ready for redemption. Two people whose paths were never meant to cross. When they do, the collision blows their life to smithereens. ******************************************** "Pass the tea, will you?". It came over me - it being it all, the shame, the anger, the sense of injustice and the nine hours I hadn't slept the night before. Those, maybe, more than anything else, because I reached for said tea and, possessed by that mighty cocktail of resentment, spat in it. I did so making sure he could see it, he could hear it. Then I passed it over to him and waited. His smile, at this point, had turned overjoyed, putting the previous ones to shame, revealing their graft. He had received the answer he was hoping for. He took the cup and chugged it down. Looked me straight in the eye and drunk it all. ******************************************** Fair warning: mentions of racism, ED, assault, sexism, and classism ahead. You know where your limits lie.

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Zakończone
Moon Bound/Blood Bound Duology
Moonbound is now in the professional editing stage and scheduled for publication November 2nd, 2026. If she runs from fate, it will chase her. Doctor Willa Grey has been running for most of her life, from the truth of her past, from her feelings, from the feral creature that scrapes under her skin. So, when she finds herself running naked through a moonlit forest, with the wolf who just ignited her matebond nipping at her heels, it's. . . well . . . on brand. But some believe shiftless wolves are unacceptable liabilities, and this time, she might just be running for her life. When she wakes in the infirmary the following morning disoriented, concussed, very much alive, and with no mate in sight, she has lots of questions. Her Fate. Codrin Lupescu, the enigmatic, dominant Prince of Wolves, thought he'd accepted his cursed blood centuries ago, but when it makes him the most dangerous threat to the fated mate he has waited almost a millennium for, he has never hated it more. There's a beast that lurks beneath Codrin's cool facade, and it craves their mate, body, soul, and blood. Unable to claim her without risking her life, he is intent on keeping his distance, if only to keep her safe. The problem is, the willful and determined healer who possesses the other half of his soul is on the hunt for answers only he can give. They can't fight it. When the powerful pull of their bond proves impossible to resist, the complicated pair finds themselves emotionally entangled and locked in a battle of wills that neither wants to lose, because the price the fates demand for them to complete their mating might just be everything.

Strength and Sensuality [Completed]
A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end."
