Vail of Thorns
Our story begins in a world where magic is a currency, and power is the only true god. The Fae are hunted, imprisoned, or bent into service. The human elite trade their souls for a taste of their waning power, while the common folk, shackled by fear of the unknown, betray their own neighbors for a whisper of safety. In this shadowed land, an innocent love is warped by desperate need and the crushing weight of expectation. From this corruption, an ancient evil stirs. Its goal is to shatter the veil that protects our world, to tear open the Fae Realm and drain its magic dry-all to feed a sinister hunger for dominion, no matter the cost. Darkness, after all, does not always storm the gates. Often, it seeps in through the cracks in the human heart. The journey ahead is long, paved with secrets and woven with lies. But hold fast. For even the deepest night must break, and a new dawn awaits on the horizon.
The Sentry and the Serpent
The Mark: Julian Vane (Poppy Ratchapong Anomakiti). Filthy rich, terminally bored, and a connoisseur of chaos. He doesn't just hire bodyguards; he stages his own life-or-death theatre. The Protector: Elias Vance (Tle Matimun Sreeboonrueang). A former national asset. The kind of man who moves like smoke and thinks three bullets ahead. He's sworn to protect Vane-not for loyalty, but for the retirement fund Vane dangles just out of reach. The Blade: The 'Black Mask' (Firstone Wannakorn Reungrat). An assassin whose work is quiet, visceral art. He takes the contract not for the money, but because Vane's existence offends his principles. The Game: Vane didn't just hire a protector; he hired the killer. He wants a show. He wants the thrill of knowing his own hired security is all that stands between him and an elegant death. A bulletproof vest meets an obsidian knife. Duty clashes with dark necessity. They are the immovable object and the irresistible force, both orbiting the same madman. When Vance finally tracks the Black Mask down, the confrontation is not a brutal fight, but a terrifying symmetry. They move with the same lethal grace, the same calculating coldness. The only thing more dangerous than being their target is being their distraction. Because in the crucible of this forced proximity, the lines between enemy and intimate start to blur, rewriting their destinies one betrayed glance at a time. Guns vs. Blades... and a love story forged in blood and lies.

Eli Thorn thought her only talent was keeping plants alive and sarcasm sharper than pruning shears. Then her best friend disappeared into the forbidden Moonveil Forest and the vines started whispering her name. Dragged into a world where beauty deceives and danger blooms, Eli discovers the truth: she's the heir to a forgotten fae bloodline tied to the forest's curse.

Ashes of the Vow
An assassin with secrets. A man with scars. Love was never supposed to be part of the deal. "We can't," he said, his voice rough but final. The rejection was a physical blow. Humiliation, hot and sharp, washed over me, followed immediately by a fury so intense it blurred my vision. I released his jacket like it was on fire, snatching my hand back from his chest. Of course. Of course. I shoved open the van door, the metal screeching in protest. I practically fell out into the garage, needing to put distance between us, needing to breathe air he hadn't just stolen from my lungs. "Thorn-" he began, his voice following me out. I spun around, cutting him off. The words came out laced with a venom I didn't entirely feel, a weapon to match the hurt. "Don't. Just... don't." I was furious. Furious at him for starting it. Furious at him for stopping. But most of all, I was furious at myself. Furious for wanting it. For leaning in. For letting him make me feel, for one stupid second, like I was cared for. When Thorn-an elite assassin with too many secrets-collapses on the doorstep of Ash Penbrook, she expects death, not rescue. Ash is a powerful businessman with his own scars and a vendetta against the same organization Thorn once served. Forced into an uneasy alliance, their world becomes a battlefield of ambushes, betrayals, and buried truths. Survival draws them closer, but trust is dangerous-and love even more so. As enemies close in, both must decide: are they each other's salvation...or the final weapon that will destroy them?
His Obsession || Book One
(COMPLETED) BOOK TRAILER IN CHAP. 1!!! I had just turned 19 and was about to graduate high school, entering into an amazing university. Surrounded by plenty of friends, I had such a bright future ahead of me. Everything changed when I met the devil named Eric. Disguised as an angel, I was pulled into his dangerous world. Eric was one of the most deadly, viperous, and wicked mafia leaders. His name haunted his victims heads. He was every bit of dangerous as beautiful, someone so perfect only existed in my wildest dreams. He was everything a girl could ask for. Or so he perceived it to be. . . Blinded from the start in his ethereal world, soon I realize that it was all merely just a mask. And what lies beneath the mask, was far more sinister. *** WARNING: This story contains violence and mature scenes. Read at your own risk. *** I pulled away, with some difficulty from his tight hold. "I need to go, I can't stay." It didn't change anything for him, he continued to kiss my neck as if I had never spoken. That's when his hand slipped underneath my volleyball spandex. I gasped out, covering my mouth as I shut my eyes. "I know you want to stay, so stay. I'll make you feel better than any high school guy ever could." Eric sexily purred in my ear. His fingers found the weakness between my legs, and my hands clamped onto the back of his neck as his kisses nuzzled on my neck. I leaned my head back, taking in sharp breaths as his fingers felt inside me. He was so good at everything he did, I was learning from what seemed a professional. After taking another brief look at the clock, I decided to take the risk. After all, an adventure is much more fun when it's dangerous. Or so I'm hoping, I never really had the guts to do anything mischievous before. *** #1 in Romance 7/22/18 His Obsession. Copyright © 2018. All Rights Reserved.Complete
