Orphaned teenager James makes a daring escape from the dreaded orphanage where he endured poverty and abuse. Now, alone in the small town of Maplewood, he reinvents himself and finds his calling as a skilled clockmaker. But his new life takes a dark turn when he learns that Joe Blackthorn, the former owner of the workshop, was murdered by a client whose wish he denied.
One day, James receives an unexpected request of his own - one he cannot refuse.
What choice will the clockmaker make, and how will it shape the future? Is the ghost of Blackthorn still truly haunting the streets of Maplewood? And is it worth turning back time when it relentlessly dashes forward?

Book #4 in the "Bloodlines & Ashes" series (Can be read as a standalone) I had a plan: Go to college, have lots of sex, and eventually become a doctor. Simple, right? Yeah, well, that was the idea until a family secret came out and flipped my whole world upside down. Fast forward to an accident and a kidney transplant later; I'm left wondering who the hell I even am anymore. That's when she came tumbling into my life. A red-haired stranger on the hospital rooftop, barging into my existential crisis, dragging me-literally-away from the edge. (For the record, I wasn't going to jump. Probably.) She's beautiful, fiery, and...insanely frustrating. She refused to tell me her name, declared my parents must be gay, and walked away like she didn't just turn my entire world upside down. Sounds like the start of a great love story, doesn't it? Here's the problem: she doesn't think so. She's immune to my charm, dismisses me as some campus jock, and seems entirely uninterested in giving me the time of day. Naturally, her rejection only makes me more determined to prove her wrong. Enter the deal: tutoring sessions, gingerbread lattes, and endless chances to show her that I'm more than just a guy with good hair and charm. Her story? I need to know it. Her trust? I'll earn it. But the closer I get, the more I realize I'm in way over my head. Because, like they say, too much ginger can give you heartburn-and my heart? It's already hanging by a thread.Concluida

DELONIX [COMPLETED]
First day of college: blow up a lab, awaken ancient magic, try not to fall for a vampire. ●●● Red Hathaway thought the worst part of her first day of college would be getting lost. Not blowing up the biochemistry lab. But the explosion was no accident-and neither is Red's life. For nineteen years, she believed she was just an ordinary girl navigating the chaos of school, bullies, and late-night movie marathons. But everything changes the moment her skin cracks with magic and something otherworldly stirs inside her. Red isn't human. She never was. Whisked away under moonlight to Mystic Academy, a hidden university for the supernatural elite, Red is thrown into a world pulsing with ancient magic and dark secrets. Elves with sharp smiles, witches who craft storms, vampires who thirst for more than blood-and werewolves who smell fear. Here, the monsters don't hide under beds. They share your dorm. As Red struggles to control her powers, she finds herself drawn to a dangerously irresistible presence: a seductive vampire with secrets written in blood and a gaze that sees straight through her soul. He might be the key to unlocking her past-or the reason she doesn't survive her future. But something darker hunts her. Something hungry. And if Red doesn't uncover who-or what-she really is, this new world might be the death of her. Magic is calling. So is danger. And Red Hathaway is about to find out what happens when both answer at once.Concluida
⏳✨ The Enchanted Clockmaker ✨
✨ "When time begins to beat like a heart, destiny brings them together-but so do secrets that could tear them apart." In the city of Halewick, time is more than hours and days-it's magic. Adrian, a lonely young clockmaker, spends his days repairing ordinary timepieces... until one winter night, Seraphine walks into his shop with a broken pocket watch. The watch belonged to her late mother, but it beats like a living heart-and carries a secret tied to destiny itself. When the watch reveals a glowing map beyond the city walls, Adrian and Seraphine are drawn into a journey where time bends, memories fight to stay alive, and shadows hunt for the power hidden in the watch. Pursued by the mysterious Collector, they must face enchanted forests, towers where past and future blur, and trials that test not just their courage-but their hearts. Because the watch doesn't just point the way to fate. It points to each other. A tale of magic, danger, and slow-blooming love, The Enchanted Clockmaker asks: what would you risk if time itself chose your heart's true path?
