The palace was never silent.
Behind its gold and marble ran whispers-of power, of betrayal, of things too dangerous to name.
Prince Cyrus has spent his life buried beneath expectation. To rule. To marry. To smile only when told to. Every word rehearsed, every breath accounted for. He was born for the throne... but not for freedom.
Then there's Florian.
A servant with dirt under his nails and defiance in his eyes. Sharp-tongued, impossible, unafraid. He should mean nothing. He should have stayed invisible.
But every stolen glance feels like a fracture in the walls Cyrus has built. Every word between them tastes like something alive. Something forbidden.
As the court tightens its hold and war looms closer, Cyrus must choose between the life he was born to live and the one he never thought he could want.
Because in a world where love is a rebellion, even the smallest touch can be treason.

Bound By Oath
Sir Henry is bound by honor, his sword pledged to defend the throne. Yet no oath could prepare him for the torment of desiring the one woman he is sworn never to touch-the king's only daughter. Princess Elena is beauty wrapped in duty, her every move watched, her fate already written in a marriage of power. But when her eyes linger on Henry's, when her voice softens just for him, he feels the chains of loyalty straining against the pull of something far more dangerous. Their love is not gentle-it is a hunger they dare not name. Stolen glances in the corridors, brushes of hands that linger too long, whispers in the night that burn hotter than fire. Every secret meeting threatens scandal, every heartbeat risks ruin. Yet neither can stop, for desire grows wilder in the shadows where no one dares look. As court politics tighten like a noose and betrayal stirs in the kingdom, Henry and Elena are forced to choose: deny the passion that consumes them, or surrender to it and watch their world collapse. For in a realm where love is forbidden, nothing is more dangerous than desire itself.
NOT HER!
I never planned to fall for a girl. Especially NOT HER! I was always straight! She was my childhood best friend, the girl my parents trusted, the girl I grew up sharing toothbrushes and boy secrets with. But the girl I reunited with in the same university wasn't the same person. She was different. Dark. Powerful. Untouchable. Addictive. She became. She had the whole campus trembling , drug rings, mafia ties, secrets too heavy to speak about. And somehow... she wanted me. I told myself I was straight. I told myself I had home training. I told myself I wasn't her. Until the night she touched me. And I let her. This is not a love story. This is a slow dying. A first person confession. And if you read long enough... you'll understand why I didn't survive her.
The Weight of the Crown
**Previously known as The Caerwyn Chronicles** In a realm ruled by tradition and bound by blood, power is both a privilege and a curse. The Kingdom of Avarienne stands united under the High Throne-four provinces held together by oaths, legacy, and fear of what might follow should the crown ever falter. Yet behind palace walls, the final years of King Alaric IV's reign are marked by quiet fractures. Old wounds resurface. Noble houses maneuver for influence. And choices made in private begin to echo across the realm. As Alaric's daughter, Avelyne, rises to rule, she must navigate a court shaped by loyalty and loss, guided by her steadfast advisor, Lord Caiden, and shadowed by the sacrifices her family has already made. Her brother Rhen's forbidden marriage to a commoner-and his decision to walk away from crown and duty-tests the limits of blood ties and forgiveness. In time, even exile may not be permanent. Elsewhere, love continues to challenge the rigid order of nobility: Elenora, daughter of Prince Dorian, binds herself to a man born outside her station, while Lord Cedric Draven finds his future entwined with Lady Anya Farrow-Rhen's daughter-forcing the court to confront its own hypocrisies about lineage, age, and power. As heirs rise, loyalties shift, and the old rules bend under the weight of human choice, the struggle for the throne becomes deeply personal. Because in Avarienne, legacy is not simply inherited-it is forged through sacrifice, defiance, and love that dares to cross forbidden lines. A tale of duty and desire, of fractured families and quiet revolutions. The crown may endure... but at what cost? Book One of The Kingdom of AvarienneComplete
