A Kiss of Poison
In a world where women are nothing more than property-first owned by their fathers, then their husbands-abuse is inevitable, and resistance is futile. No rights. No escape. No justice. But in the heart of the city, hidden behind the elegant façade of a makeup boutique, Elanor D'Almerita offers something far more powerful and dangerous than rouge and perfume. Ask for lily of the valley at the front desk, and you'll be led to a secret room on the second floor-where cosmetics are laced with something deadly. A kiss of poison. A silent rebellion. Across the country, husbands are dying. Their deaths are swift, unexplained, impossible to trace. The only pattern? Their wives, once powerless, now seem strangely... free. Detective Dante de'Medici is hunting a ghost. No fingerprints. No murder weapon. No suspects. Just dead men and a lingering scent of powder and perfume. The deeper he digs, the more the trail leads him to a certain shop-and to the enigmatic woman who runs it. But Elanor isn't just another suspect. She's something far more dangerous. A woman with nothing to lose.
The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete
