In the town of Mirthshire, Emilia Wyndham, the daughter of master seamster Hugo Wyndham, lives a life of a shining star as Mirthshire's top lawyer. But tragedy strikes when she is brutally murdered by the son of a man she had sent to the gallows.
Given the gift of immortality, Emilia's body is transformed into a being that bears an uncanny resemblance to the doll her father had crafted, giving her the ethereal beauty of her late mother. With no memory of her past, she becomes a seamstress, following in her father's footsteps believing she is created solely as an assistant doll.
After her father's passing, Emilia discovers her passion for sewing and becomes a seamstress, following in her father's footsteps. However, as she delves deeper into her craft, she begins to uncover the truth about her past and the circumstances of her death.
Consumed by a desire for justice, Emilia sets out to punish those who have wronged her and others. Using her beauty and charm, she lures men into her trap, exploiting their lust and desire for her. But once they are in her grasp, she reveals her true nature, and they are met with a fate worse than death.
Emilia's victims are left trapped in their own corpses, their souls forever bound to their lifeless bodies. And Emilia, the doll-like woman, continues to weave her web of revenge, a dark and sinister force that haunts the streets of Mirthshire.
A whispered rumor occurs, a ghostly figure who haunts the dreams of those who have done wrong. A creature of beauty and innocence, but Emilia is, in truth, a monster, driven by a hunger for vengeance and a desire to be a punisher of the sinful.

Too Dark for you to Love
In the gloomy town of Deathmoure, located amidst misty landscapes, people possessed an unusual trait - they couldn't inflict death on anyone, including themselves. It was a pacifist's dark utopia but for my grieving heart of a white widow, it was a prison - a sanctuary of despair. Needing a path out of this grief-stricken existence, I began my search for a reaper who could aid in my departure. With the newly arrived reaper, broad-shouldered with a charismatic, sly charm that was hard to withstand, I found myself engulfed in a bizarre investigation. Mysterious events began occurring within our rainy town, pointing indirectly toward my mysterious reaper. Amidst this chaos, an unlikely sentiment blossomed within me - love. As the investigation deepened, so did the connection between me and my reaper. It was an unexpected twist, a cosmic joke. I was no longer an icy fortress but a hopeful woman, falling in love with the man who was uncovering the darkest secrets of the people around me. The fighting spirit dormant for so many years in me, now roared to life. August 2023 #1 in dieforyouComplete

We Were Monsters
Jacqueline is a psychiatrist in supernatural research at The Institution, a mysterious organization of clinicians dedicated to exploring the unliving world. She is also a mother dying of cancer and is convinced Immortality's curse is her only hope of a pain-free life with her daughter. Lacy is a vampire and a prisoner of her care, burdened with a choice: Tell her story and earn her freedom or bite her tongue and wait for her captor to die of the illness poisoning her blood. With each passing day Jacqueline's tortures grow more extreme and the price of staying silent grows steeper. When Jacqueline threatens to turn her torture on the auburn-haired, bright-eyed, Caed-Lacy's longtime paramour and accomplice in crime-she begins to talk, and the tale she weaves is one marred by tragedy and marked in blood. From the gallows of Salem to the wild, western reaches of Tombstone, Arizona, Lacy spins a story of love and loss in a world where the greatest monsters are not the shadows that go bump in the night, but the people we know best. As Death stalks the shadows of Lacy's tale, and Immortality lures her to sign away her soul for a promise of eternal bliss, Jacqueline starts to wonder if getting what you want is a blessing or a curse. And whether the things we hunt are the things that haunt us in the end.Complete![DELUSIONS (Sample) [PUBLISHED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/79173952-256-k144674.jpg)

Yasmine's life was meant to be an ordinary one. Drawn to the small town she spent endless summers in as a child, she returned to SilverPeak to care for her sick grandmother. But even after her granny died, she refused to leave, succumbing to the mysterious pull the town had on her. The peace and quiet, however, was soon shattered with the arrival of the Ravencourts. The mansion on the hill was shrouded in secrets, its occupants shunned as soon as they returned to their home town. Bodies littered the forest that lay beneath the mansion, throats clawed out and flesh torn to shreds, and everyone in town was dead set on blaming them. Yet as Yasmine started investigating, she soon found herself tangled in a web of forbidden knowledge. Her feelings for Marcus, the owner of the Ravencourt manor, were clouding her judgement, and her bouts of memory loss were leading her to question her own sanity. Murder, mysteries, and betrayal all came wrapped in the most tantalizing of packages, the happy ending she was never meant to have.Complete
