Under His Name|18+
"Rowan" "I told you not to call me that." His voice is low, dangerous. Lea's back hits the wall, but her eyes stay on his. "Why?" she whispers. Nico leans in, caging her in with one hand. His lips hover over hers, not touching. "Because Rowan loved you." His other hand slips to her throat, just barely grazing. "And I don't want to remember what it felt like to be him." But he kisses her anyway. And it's not soft. Lea Broadway has spent her whole life running-from love, from herself, and most of all, from the boy who never chose her. Rowan Reid was once her everything-until he disappeared and came back as someone else: untouchable, dominant, dangerously magnetic Nico Reid. Years later, fate throws them back together. She's not the girl who waited. He's not the boy she loved. But some names still burn. And some touches never lose their heat. A story of obsession, old wounds, and the kind of slow burn that doesn't just scorch-it destroys. He left as Rowan. He returned as Nico. And now... she's his to break. First book - 2025

In one swift movement of my hand I reached behind Sapphire's neck and released her hair from the low ponytail it was in. She gasped at my action and looked at me with feverish eyes. I thought I saw the colour gold flicker in her eyes, for a few seconds before I lifted my hand near her face and tucked a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear, before I said: "I fell in love with you, the first second I saw you reading that Tolstoy book in the library." She looked up at me, her warm beige skin looked like it was glowing now and she said with pure sincerity in her eyes "per sempre, in ogni dimensione, per sempre in ogni vita, solo tu fino al mio ultimo respiro amore mio" It meant (Forever, in every dimension, forever in every life, only you until my last breath, my love) I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me. Before kissing her the way I wanted to all this time, i looked into her eyes and said "Me too my love, me too." My first novel is about soulmates. And reincarnation. About, how many bodies a soul has to live in before they finally become their true selves. And before they finally get to be with their soulmate. It's about how love has so many faces. It's about how we never know what roads life will force us to cross. And what emotions we will be gifted to feel. And the things we're blessed with that sometimes we neglect. It's about giving yourself the time to grow and evolve before you give yourself to someone completely. And it's about not to take the love you have in your life for granted.Complete
Beneath the Crest: Echoes
This is the second book in the Crestmoor series. To fully understand Elara and Rowan's story, please read Book One - "Beneath the Crest" - first. A love like theirs doesn't vanish. It echoes. Elara Vale left Crestmoor with her heart still burning for the boy who never quite let her in-and never fully let her go. But the walls of Crestmoor don't forget, and neither does Rowan Blackwell. Now, a new semester begins. New secrets. New faces. And a love that refuses to stay buried. But some scars run deeper than silence. And some truths were never meant to be uncovered. When Elara returns to Crestmoor, nothing feels the same. Not the air. Not the halls. Not the boy watching her like she still belongs to him. Because love doesn't die at the end of a chapter. It echoes.Complete
Ashes of Destiny: Flames of Revelation
In the storm-swept heights of Stormspire, Elara conceals her royal Phoenix-Roc bloodline beneath a servant's cloak, her heart a ember yearning for freedom. At 20, raised in the maids' chambers by her nanny Mira, she's denied her mother Seraphina's fiery legacy-stolen by King Thorne's cruel rejection-until a wounded jay bird, Ash, awakens her dormant powers and echoes a whispered promise.

Their journey ignites a forbidden romance, where fire and shadow entwine in trust and longing, challenging royal divides. In a kingdom where only bloodlines wield magic, and human hearts dream of liberty, Elara must embrace her power and love to forge a new destiny. Together, they could unite two realms in passion's light-or see their hopes reduced to ash.Complete
More Than Academic
Leena Ayari has spent years hiding behind silence - after her fiancé shattered her self-worth and taught her that love hurts more than it heals. Now in her final year at Syveria Crest Academy, she wants nothing more than to graduate quietly and stay invisible. Then there's Professor Damon Vashiro - sharp, composed, and distant. His lectures command attention, his eyes give nothing away. But behind the walls he's built lies a past he's never shared - one that left him just as wary of love as Leena. What begins as quiet admiration turns into something neither of them expected - a connection built not on desire, but on understanding. Yet in a world where lines aren't meant to be crossed, even gentle feelings can be dangerous. Two guarded hearts. One forbidden connection. And a love that feels less like temptation... and more like coming home. This story is my original work, shared here on Wattpad for readers to enjoy.

Before We Fell Again
One life wasn't enough to love him. When Elara wakes up in her eighteen-year-old body, she realizes fate has given her an impossible gift a second chance. In her first life, she was thirty-two when she died-lonely, heartbroken, haunted by the memory of the one man she never confessed to: Headmaster Adrian Vale. Cold. Untouchable. A man carved from discipline and shadows. Now she's back at the beginning. Back in the dorms. Back in the classrooms. Back to the year she first fell in love with him. But Adrian doesn't know her. He doesn't remember the life they never had. And he doesn't know that in five years, she watched him break... and bury everything he once was. This time, Elara swears she won't let him slip away. This time, she'll risk the rules, the scandal, even her own sanity- to save him. To love him. To rewrite their ending. Dangerous age gap. Forbidden obsession. Second-chance romance tangled with time itself. One wrong move, and history will repeat the heartbreak she's already lived. But one kiss could change everything. What if love gave you another chance... but fate wanted its revenge?
