Venomously Yours,
Valora Anton is a trained, lethal assassin, and she's running for her life. No one-no one-had ever come close to catching her. But when the net finally closes, she's transferred to an island prison house in the Atlantic, a place known for its brutality. She's certain this is where her journey ends-until she realizes she's wrong. Phoenix Knight is the iron-fisted warden of Atlanta Prisonhouse, feared by every woman under his control. Ruthless, unforgiving, and unbending, he rules with an absolute hand, tormenting misbehaved prisoners without a second thought. His pleasure comes from their suffering, from breaking them, bending them to his will. But when Valora enters his domain, everything shifts. There's something about her-something sharp, dangerous, poisonous-that draws him in. On one hand, he's repulsed by her icy demeanor, her unyielding nature. On the other, he's irresistibly allured by her presence, by the fire that simmers beneath her calm exterior. For the first time in years, Phoenix is out of control. And he hates it. Valora is no ordinary prisoner, and Phoenix is no typical captor. Their dynamic is a volatile cocktail of aggression, manipulation, and raw tension. Each encounter between them ignites a new spark, a dangerous push-pull of venomous desire that neither of them can resist. They are two forces of destruction, locked in a dance that threatens to undo everything they've ever believed in. The real question is: How far will they go to destroy each other? And in the end, who will be left standing, and at what cost? [Second Book of the V-Series] A Standalone Novel Complete.Complete

Phoenix's Deceptress Wife
BROTHERS CODE SERIES 1 R18+ Phoenix despised Hailey from the moment they got married. If it weren't for the money his grandfather had promised, he never would have agreed to the marriage. Their union was nothing more than a means to an end, a business arrangement forced upon him for the sake of his financial gain. He made a vow to himself on the day of the wedding: he would do everything in his power to destroy their relationship and end their marriage. He wanted nothing to do with her, and he was determined to make her life miserable. Phoenix believed that if he pushed her hard enough, she'd leave on her own, freeing him from the commitment while still securing the fortune he was promised. His plan was simple: expose the woman Hailey really was, or at least, the woman he assumed her to be. He believed she was nothing more than a manipulative gold-digger, someone who had schemed her way into his life for her own personal gain. In his mind, he was the victim, and Hailey was the one who deserved to be humiliated and cast aside. But as Phoenix carried out his plan, something unexpected began to happen. The more time he spent around Hailey, the more he realized that the image he had created of her in his mind was far from the truth. She wasn't the cold, calculating woman he thought she was. Instead, she was kind, strong, and resilient-qualities that began to challenge everything he had believed about her. The moment of truth hit him like a freight train: he had been wrong all along. Everything he thought about Hailey, everything he had convinced himself was true, was a lie. And worse, his actions-the cruelty, the distance, the manipulation-were beginning to backfire. The real question now wasn't whether Phoenix could end the marriage, but whether he could fix what he had broken. Could he make things right before it was too late?Complete

The powerful magic that bound him is weakening, and only the reborn Phoenix can reinforce the seal and prevent his return.

Skilled in the art of combat and Chi'ra, a mystical energy, Ardara's journey begins when she learns the truth: she is the Phoenix reborn. As her powers awaken, so too does the threat of Azgaroth's release. Drawn to the Academy of the Ascendants, a sacred place for those with great potential, Ardara begins her training under Aresius, the God of War, who has descended to help humanity. Despite their divine differences, a bond grows between them-a love that transcends gods and mortals. But not all is as it seems. Seraphina, a rival at the academy, believes herself to be the true Phoenix, manipulated by the dark forces of Azgaroth. The immortals, once the protectors of the world, remain on the sidelines, leaving the human realm to battle the demons alone. As Ardara's destiny unfolds, she must confront the darkness within, face the trials of becoming the true Phoenix, and learn that the greatest power comes not from magic alone, but from the heart. The fate of Erethis rests in her hands-but will she be strong enough to face the ultimate sacrifice? Love, war, and destiny collide in this gripping fantasy, where ancient prophecies, betrayal, and the power of the Phoenix shape the future of the realm.Complete
