A crown of Secrets and Fire
I grew up safe, protected, adored, certain of the life that awaited me. A grand estate, a devoted father... a wedding to the perfect man. But the altar crumbled beneath me, my world ripped apart in a heartbeat. The silk turned to ruin, vows to ash, and in one heartbeat, everything I knew was gone. I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim. He doesn't ask for my trust, he takes it, drags me into a world of lies, bold betrayals, and secrets I wasn't prepared to see. And the truth? I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems. And the man in the shadows... he is the storm I can't outrun. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

An Angel Amongst Devils (An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance)
'"Tell me what's wrong." I laugh, but it's filled with sadness, "I can't tell you what's wrong, I don't know you." "That's exactly why you can tell me. Because you don't know me." "Why do you care?" I whisper. "Why are you crying?" "I..." I whisper so quietly I can almost not even hear myself, though my sobs "I don't have anywhere to go."'

Neither Lady nor Pirate (Complete)
Abbie has never been what one would call a typical lady. Trying to keep up with England's rich and powerful is far too much work, and Abbie has never enjoyed the endless games of chasing acknowledgement form her peers. When she's engaged rather unwillingly to the wealthiest lord in London, she knows without a doubt it will be the worst thing she'll ever face. So what does she do? She runs. Finn has been roaming the seas as a pirate aboard The Iron Lady for ten years. Since the death of his father, he's been pirating to provide for his mother, sister, and her two children--all the while unbeknownst to them. While there have been a number of heists that have ended favorably, their poor condition has changed little. Finn wearies of life at sea, and begins thinking about leaving the business to return home to Ireland for good. When he kidnaps a businessman's teenage daughter, he is absolutely certain that the ransom payoff will be the one to end his career as a pirate. Abbie has always thought that pirates are uneducated, cruel, and just plain terrible company. Finn is certain that rich girls are snobby and selfish and is dreading spending any time with one aboard the ship. But when their journey together begins, they find that their expectations might be entirely incorrect. With the voyage of The Iron Lady spanning the globe from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, from the Iberian Peninsula to England, neither lady nor pirate will be able to resist the adventure--and romance--that will come along with it.Lengkap
Across the Boundaries
"She was invisible. He was untouchable. But love doesn't follow rules." Ella Malik has always lived in the background - quiet, cautious, and nearly invisible. In a world of luxury cars, perfect reputations, and private parties, she knows the rules: stay out of sight, stay out of trouble, and never fall for someone out of reach. William Ashford breaks every rule. Cold. Brilliant. Untouchable. He's rich enough to have everything - and guarded enough to feel nothing. Until Ella. What starts as a reluctant academic partnership slowly turns into something neither of them can explain - or ignore. She challenges his silence. He softens her edges. And beneath casual moments and stolen glances, something raw and real begins to spark. It's not just comfort. Not just attraction. It's the kind of love that refuses to stay quiet - fierce, fragile, and all-consuming. He sees her when no one else does. She reaches places in him no one's ever touched. And even if they come from two different worlds, their hearts speak the same language.
Turning Tides
In the sweltering heat of 1719 Nassau, Anne Bonny feels herself slowly suffocating beneath the weight of respectability. Once, she dreamed of freedom, adventure, and life upon the sea. Now she is trapped in a gilded cage of silk gowns, polite smiles, and a marriage that has become more prison than partnership. But when one reckless night leads her into the orbit of the notorious pirate ship The Siren's Song, Anne seizes the chance to escape the life that has been chosen for her. Disguised as a swabbie and hiding among thieves, smugglers, and killers, Anne is thrust into a brutal world where survival must be earned. At the centre of it all stands Captain Jack Rackham- sharp-tongued, dangerously intelligent, and impossible to ignore. As Anne learns the unforgiving rules of pirate life, tensions ignite between her and the captain who seems to see far more than he should. But the sea is merciless, the British Empire is closing in, and freedom always demands a sacrifice. Caught between loyalty, desire, and the ghosts of the life she abandoned, Anne must decide who she truly wishes to become: The obedient wife society expects... Or the pirate she was always destined to be.Lengkap

The Day You Were Mine
Mia I fell hard and fast, just like any teenager does at that age. The second I saw him, I knew my life wouldn't be the same. Everyone told me not to do it, to give up this teenage fantasy, but how could I? Every bone in my body belonged to him before he even put a finger on me. It had been fourteen years since the last time I'd seen him, and I was still his. But the Liam in front of me was different. He'd changed; I'd changed. After all the hurt, can I really just put everything aside to start again? Liam I knew she was mine; her eyes gave her away. Seeing Mia again after fourteen years was like coming back to life, and no matter how much she wanted to stay away from me, I wasn't going to stay away from her. Letting her go was the hardest decision I have ever made, and I'm never doing that again. Yes, I'm no longer the suppressed boy she met long ago. I'm much more important now. A lot has happened in the past few years, so when an opportunity to become the powerful man I am today presented itself, I didn't think twice to take it. This life will now be Mia's, too. I only hope she can still love me as the mafia boss I have become.Lengkap

What if you woke up one morning... and everything around you belonged to another century? One moment, I was moving through my mundane routine. The next, a mysterious silver box - and a cryptic warning - hurled me through time. All I ever wanted was a simple life: quiet, steady, normal. Instead, I've landed in a world where I hold no power, know no one, and understand nothing about the rules shaping every breath I take. To survive, I have to learn the laws of a world determined to silence me - and find a way home before it's too late, especially with a war on the horizon. But how do you change the course of history when you barely understand how it began? And just when I think things can't get any more complicated, a pair of ocean-blue eyes threatens to rewrite everything I thought I wanted. Can I return to the life I lost? Or will the past - and the man I was never meant to meet - change my future forever? Author's Note: For readers who crave time-travel romance, historical drama, and slow-burn love that keeps you up way past midnight - welcome. You're in the right place.Lengkap
