She falls.
One moment, she's weightless, bathed in light, belonging to the sky itself. The next, she is plummeting, her wings failing, the world rushing up to meet her. And when she lands, it is not on stone or earth, but in the arms of a boy with kind eyes and a heartbeat steady enough to tether her to the world.
Silas never believed in miracles. He never expected one to fall straight into his arms. But when Elya crashes into his life-lost, otherworldly, and achingly human in the way she looks at the world-he knows he can't let her go.
As the days slip into weeks, Silas teaches her how to live as a human. Elya teaches him how to love like one.
But the sky is calling her home. And Silas is only mortal.
Love was never meant to be enough to hold back heaven.
Was it?

Fallen For You
He was created to guide hearts toward love, never to claim one for his own. Jimin - Heaven's angel of love - has spent lifetimes weaving destinies, whispering hope into the brokenhearted, and blessing lovers with forever. His wings were meant to carry obedience, not longing. His heart was never meant to belong to a human. And then he saw Selena Vale. Her laughter pulled him closer than any prayer. Her eyes felt like memories he shouldn't have - as if they had met a thousand times before, in lives long forgotten. In her presence, his purpose falters. The eternal law he swore to uphold begins to crumble. Jimin knows the truth: angels are not allowed to love. Every stolen glance is a sin. Every dream where he appears to her, a chain pulling him closer to the fire. Heaven warns him. The skies grow heavy with wrath. But no warning can silence the way his chest burns when Selena smiles. Their story is fragile, doomed from the start - like lovers cursed to meet again and again, only to be torn apart. And still, Jimin chooses her. He chooses love, even if it means falling. Because sometimes the heart remembers what eternity tries to erase. Because sometimes, one soul is worth losing Heaven for. In a world where wings burn and love defies the divine, would you sacrifice forever... for just one chance at home in someone's arms?Complete
ALPHA ONYX {BOOK 1}
NEW COVER! REWRITE: 10TH FEB,2024 Avaluna is a spirited young woman with a heart as big as her dreams, hailing from a quaint English town. She's the kind of person who lights up the room. Life seemed picture-perfect for Avaluna, especially with her loving handsome boyfriend by her side. But life has a way of throwing curveballs. Alpha Onyx, is a towering figure with a reputation that precedes him. He's not your typical knight in shining armour; instead, he's known for his rough edges and cold demeanour. When he impulsively kidnaps Avaluna, her world is turned upside down, and she's forced to confront the harsh realities beyond her idyllic existence. "Not your type, huh? So... you wouldn't mind if I check?" He moved his fingers over my jeans button, undid it, and trailed his fingers down my zipper, toying with me. "Not going to stop me?" he grinned wickedly, like the devil he is. What was I waiting for? Him to touch me? Pfft. "I-I-Sto-" "Too late." He pulls my zipper down, slides his hand into my panties, grasping me with a low growl in his throat. I gasped at his touch. Holy mother sweet Mary! He slid two fingers into my wetness, pumping slowly in and out, with his thumb circling my clit painfully slowly. We both could hear just how soaked I was. His fingers were skilled. He was too good at that. I threw my head back, fingers digging into the sofa, letting out soft, breathy moans. He held my hip firmly, preventing me from bucking against his touch as he quickened his pace. I could feel the pressure building within me. Yes! Yes! He purred in my ear, "You lied," and then removed his hands, stepping away from me leaving me breathless and wanting more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright law ...

Shattered
BOOK 4 COMPLETE Kaden is the Beta of Blackstone pack, and while fated mates are part of his world, he never gave much thought to finding his own, or at least he didn't used to. Kaden goes off on a long run to get away and feels a strange, indescribable pull. As he moves farther into California, he finds his mate, but what should be a happy moment is shrouded in darkness as he ventures into her world- a world of darkness and danger unlike anything he's ever experienced. Violet's been labeled a genius and prodigy ever since she was a child, and she hates every moment of it. After escaping from the limelight, she lives in a world of secrets and fear- fear of being found, of being trapped like she was before. She keeps everyone else at a distance and tries to drown the grief and the pain of her past and present with self-medication until the day she can finally get the justice she's worked so hard for. Promises she made years ago stay fresh in her mind and she does everything she can to keep them, even if it means crossing the boundary of legality. Her trauma-engrained mind won't let Kaden get close to her without precautions but as she looks into his life, she finds things that aren't adding up and make her question what he's hiding. "Violet?" That single touch made the rest of me feel more alive than I had in years. Under his hand, under the clothes, against my skin, was a scar that contributed to me turning off all feeling, and yet one touch from him and it was all coming back, like I was learning how to be alive again. Maybe not even again, maybe I was learning for the first time. My hands had a mind of their own as they slid down his chest. He inhaled sharply, his hand tightening on my hip. I bit on my lip, knowing this was stupid, but I couldn't stop. "Seven minutes in heaven it is," I said, sliding my hands down his torso, the muscles of his abs tightening under my touch. "But no kissing." "I don't need to kiss you to be in heaven with you."Complete

Devil's Advocate • ONC 2020
Would you sell your soul for fame? Adelaide did. Now the Devil is back, and he wants to make a new deal. Her soul in exchange for evidence that his son is breaking the law. But what happens when she finds herself falling in love with the Devil's son. Adelaide is caught between her past and present as her plan to uncover the truth starts to unravel. Unsure of her future, she fights to gain control of her life. • • • "Ms. Hepburn, we have a delivery for you," an assistant said nervously, a vase full of red roses in her hand. "Thank you, please just set them over there," I stated with a smile, pointing to an empty table next to my stuff. After she passed I looked over to the main entrance, there were multiple vases of roses. I went to the one that had a note pinned to one of the thorny flowers. It said 'Six hundred and sixty-six reasons that I want to see you again. - Lucius Stewart.' How did he even know I would be here? I was in complete shock. Six hundred and sixty-six flowers for six hundred and sixty-six reasons? He might as well have just tattooed 'Devil's Spawn' on his forehead. How could one man be so rich and so powerful, seemingly just as smart, but be so God damn cliche? It would've been more respectable for him to have put 'Hey! Can't wait to sixty-nine with you!' Might as well just introduce himself as his unholiness and tell everyone about all the souls he tortured during his childhood. I have six hundred and sixty-six reasons to want to make him fall in love with me so that I don't have to live in hell for all eternity. Un-fucking-believably stupid. Unless he's trying to mind game me and is trying to see if I'm just the stupid little model he thinks I am? • • • #84 ONC2020 #128 opennovellacontest2020 Made it to round 3! :)))Complete
