"Look at them, enjoying life without you. I guess they favor your twin sister more than you that's why they gave you up, huh?"
After thirteen years of endless torture and abuse at the hands of her captors and foster families, Natalia had grown to accept the fact that she has no one but herself to rely on. She made herself strong... too strong that she became someone she never thought she would be. A cold-hearted killer. A famous assassin known as Viper who is created by darkness itself.
She was the art of darkness.
At the age of nineteen, she stumbles upon people she never wished to see. Her biologicals. The people she despises the most for abandoning her, leaving her to die in the hands of the devils.
But little did she know that the more she tries to escape them, the more destiny pulls them together.
What's more when she gets herself mixed up with the man who she shares a love-hate relationship with. From untold feelings of love turns into small gestures of comfort and care.

Cold-blooded, calculating, and devastatingly cruel, Nicholas forced her hand to seal an alliance between cartels. Now, she wears his ring. Sleeps in his bed. And burns every time he looks at her like he owns her soul. She should hate him. She does hate him. But hate tastes a lot like want and lust when the lights go out. There's something in the way he watches her. Like he's waiting for her to run-so he can chase. Like he wants to ruin her just to see what's underneath the ruins. Like he's been bleeding for her long before she ever said I do. Torn between a past soaked in blood and a future built on lies, Karina is pulled into a deadly game of loyalty, lust, and legacy. When Nicholas is poisoned by someone from her past, a league of deadly assassins and illegal chemists-and the list of enemies starts with her name-she must choose: let him die, or face the truth she swore she'd bury.

To the truth that might destroy them both. A dark, erotic romance about knives, bloodlines, and the kind of love that feels like war.

Perish
They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut.
