In the mystical forest of Althoria, where ancient trees whisper secrets and magic flows through every leaf, Elara, one of the last remaining fairies, lives hidden from the mortal world. With shimmering wings and silver hair that glows in the moonlight, she is a guardian of the forest's heart-a place where time moves differently and magic is alive.
One evening, a lost traveler named Rowan stumbles into the forest, his path tangled after his horse bolts into the depths of Althoria. Though wary of the forest's dangers, Rowan is captivated by the ethereal figure who appears to offer him help-Elara, a fairy whose beauty and power seem to belong to another world. Though she has never shown herself to a mortal before, something about Rowan's quiet strength stirs a deep, unspoken bond.
Guiding Rowan through the forest's ancient paths, Elara reveals a realm that blurs the line between the magical and the real. The deeper they venture, the more Rowan learns about the forest's secrets and his own connection to its ancient magic. At the heart of Althoria lies a stone circle where time and fate intertwine, and Rowan's journey is about to take a turn he could never have imagined.
As Rowan and Elara grow closer, the forest reveals more than either of them is prepared for-an ancient destiny tied to Rowan's arrival and the future of the enchanted land. But love, magic, and danger are woven together in the Heart of the Forest, and Rowan must face a choice that will change everything.
The Heart of the Forest is a tale of magic, mystery, and a love that transcends the boundaries of time. A journey into a world of enchantment, where fate is forged in the quiet whispers of the trees, and where one heart's choice could save or destroy everything.
"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
