Ashes for You
Iris was chaos incarnate-beautiful, brilliant, and dangerous. A villain feared across the world, she commanded storms, shattered governments, and bent reality to her will. But with Willow, the city's beloved hero and guardian, she was something softer. Something real. Their love was forbidden, fragile, and forged in fire. Every stolen moment between battles, every secret meeting in the shadows, only deepened a bond neither of them could sever. Willow had spent her life saving others, bearing the weight of an entire city's hopes on her shoulders. But no one knew the truth: that her greatest weakness wasn't the villains she fought-but the one she loved. Iris would let the world burn if it meant keeping Willow safe. She never pretended otherwise. And as her final plan unfolds-a cataclysm that will reduce the city to ash-Willow is forced into an impossible choice. Save millions of innocent lives... or save Iris. As the city trembles on the edge of destruction, love and duty collide. The lines between good and evil blur, and Willow must ask herself: what is a hero, really, if her heart beats for the villain? In the end, some stories don't end with victory. Some end in ash.Complete

Echoes Of Eternal Love
"A love so powerful, it defies time, fate, and the bonds that seek to break it." They were sworn enemies, raised on the battlefield, taught to despise each other's names. Anna-the fierce, untamed warrior queen, willing to burn kingdoms to the ground for victory. Alessandro-the ruthless conqueror, who feared nothing and bowed to no one. Their blades clashed under the crimson sky, their hearts fueled by hatred, their souls destined for war. But fate is a cruel storyteller. Because the ones who once vowed to kill each other... Would soon be willing to kill for each other. To betray their own blood. To defy destiny itself. To love in a world where love was their greatest enemy. Aanya and Austin thought they had escaped the shackles of a love cursed by the sins of the past. But as dreams from a forgotten era haunt their nights, their seemingly perfect present begins to unravel. Whispers of betrayal, heartbreak, and sacrifice from centuries ago seep into their lives, leaving them questioning the foundation of their love. Echoes of Eternal Love is a gripping(you can read this story without reading the other one they both are different timeline)continuation of The Destiny of Red String, weaving romance, heartbreak, and redemption into a tale of love that transcends lifetimes.
The Last Phoenix (book 1)
Ren is a quiet teen in a small Newβ―Zealand town. He just wants to finish school, avoid the local bullies and maybe tell his best friend how he feels. But one blistering summer day he bursts into flames and emerges as the Sun God's champion: a radiant, female warrior. For generations, the Phoenix's power has passed through the women of his family, so his grandmother is as shocked as he is when it chooses a boy.
