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?
Behind the Shadows
In a world ruled by whispers, blackmail, and blood-stained legacies... Vivaan Singh Malhotra (32) isn't just a businessman. He's the ghost in the machine, the unseen king manipulating headlines, markets, and loyalties- a scion raised on corruption, betrayal, and the cold calculus of power. His family's empire thrives on secrets darker than the night. Lyra Ranawat (27 ) is no innocent victim. Daughter of a dynasty that worships control, she's a rebel with a razor-sharp mind- a woman who dances on the edge of scandals, knowing exactly how to break the rules without breaking herself. Trapped between enemies, their days bleed into nights of tense alliances, fiery battles, and a desire that blurs lines between hate and something darker- something dangerously close to love. Because in their world, power is everything, and the only way to survive is to become the darkness yourself.
And the Forest Watched
The world rots under the weight of forgotten gods. The Devil no longer answers, and the Hollowlands - once under his shadowed protection - are left to starve and die. Hunters ride again in the king's name, witches burn in the villages that once worshipped their own, and the earth itself sickens with every prayer left unheard. Katerina, last of a fading bloodline, was born without the gift her kind once carried - or so she believes. When a stranger steps from the forest and the rot itself begins to stir, something buried in her wakes with it. Her touch calms the blight, her dreams echo with another's voice, and her blood may hold the one thing this dying world has long forgotten: the power to restore. But restoration is never mercy. In the Hollowlands, what heals also remembers, and what remembers always hungers.

Amid Vorrath's walls, Olivia searches for answers and uncovers truths about the war-secrets that not only threaten her survival but shatter everything she thought she knew about her homeland and herself.

Mercy In The Shadows
In the depths of a forgotten forest, a monster bleeds where no eyes dare to look. Horned, fanged, and cloaked in shadow, he is a whispered curse, a tale mothers tell to frighten their children. But to one hidden maiden, he is something else: a wounded soul who should not be left to suffer alone. He was once a prince, cursed by his own arrogance and forgotten by his people. She is no more than a healer in the shadows, unknown and unseen. But when mercy pulls her into his world and his monstrous claws close around her hand instead of her throat, the question becomes inevitable: Who is truly saving whom-the maiden healing the monster, or the monster teaching the maiden the cost of love? What begins as silence grows into secret exchanges: folded bandages returned neatly, crude markings scratched into stone, words left unspoken but understood. Curiosity becomes longing, and longing becomes danger when hunters draw near, eager to end the creature once and for all. Cover photo is not mine. Copyright 2025.
