Eternal Night
In stories such as these, it always comes down to the two... the divine pairing, bound by destiny. THE DRAGON: Vladislaus Drăculea has lost everything - his children, his allies, his potency, and now his throne. At the mercy of fate, he must abandon his identity and search amidst a city on the brink of revolution for the only person who can restore to him what has been lost - the one foretold to be his undying bride. Problem is, she wants nothing to do with him. THE LIONESS: Francesca Chase has been cursed with poison in her veins and a dark passenger that continually threatens to wreak havoc on all in her path - even those she loves. Grappling with a recent series of losses and the fear of losing control again, she's confronted with a choice: surrender to her destiny and the unknown power inside of her, or fight it tooth and nail, consequences be damned.Complete
Grasp Heart
Sara Luzio has always known that it is her duty to safeguard humanity from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But when her clan perishes in the line of duty, Sara is forced to continue their legacy alone. On top of navigating her grief and trauma, Sara realizes her supposed safehouse isn't so safe. Vampires live down the street. Yet, unlike their blood-crazed kin, they exhibit a curious sense of... humanity. Despite her instincts screaming for her to be wary, Sara is drawn to them. In particular, a copper-haired vampire with a half-cocked smile. The longer she researches the coven, the more she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about vampires. Sara must decide whether to follow her heart or her hunter's instincts. Her journey will challenge her preconceptions, ignite forbidden passions, and force her to consider what it truly means to be human. The story is being worked into an audiobook on Youtube via Text-to-Speech using ElevenLabs. Each chapter will eventually have a link. Or find me on Youtube at FaeSparksOfficial to listen to the book 1 playlist. Notes: Strong sexual content will begin in book two. Polyamory to be hinted in book one, but come to fruition later in the series (book three). Main themes will revolve around morality, culture, and legacy. *Will try to complete before 2025 Ambys* Cover by Canva.Complete

A fantastic chain of events draws Sara-a seemingly ordinary corporate worker-into a hidden world of vampires, magic, and ancient rituals. It's a story set right beside our everyday lives, yet one that defies all conventions. Throughout this novel, I pose questions that I hope will stay with you, waiting for your own answers: Where does care end, and manipulation begin? Can relationships with more than one person remain genuine and honest? Is it possible to live two completely different lives at once? What is destiny-and alongside it, does free will truly exist? And finally: is eternity a blessing, or a curse? This is a romance in which intimacy plays a vital role-not as a pretext, but as a language of closeness, desire, and truth about the characters themselves. I wouldn't call it "smut," though it does include vivid, intense scenes of passion. If these questions intrigue you, and if you enjoy stories where magic intertwines with the everyday, I warmly invite you to read along. New parts are released every Saturday evening. LL

White Lies
"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars. But when her parents are declared dead and the world turns against her found family, she realizes survival is no longer enough, she needs to fight. Raised as assassins, her adoptive brothers have spent years keeping her in the dark, but now? Now, she's in the center of the storm. Wanted by the government. Hunted by the man who created her. And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.Complete
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.
