Story Description:
Sienna Ferrell has spent her entire life fighting to survive, working tirelessly to afford her aunt's therapy. She knows the world is cruel, and she refuses to rely on anyone-especially men with too much power and too many secrets. But when she crosses paths with Killian Vaughn Delaire, a cold, enigmatic businessman/Doctor with a dangerous past, her life takes an unexpected turn.
Killian lives in a world of deception, where trust is a weakness and the truth is a weapon. He was never supposed to care for someone like Sienna-someone too brave, too stubborn, and too real. But when she gets tangled in the dark secrets of his family, he has no choice but to protect her, even if it means breaking her heart.
Lies are told.
Sacrifices are made.
And the truth? It might just destroy them both.
But love has a way of surviving even the deepest betrayals.
Will Sienna and Killian uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will their love shatter beneath the weight of the secrets between them?

Blossom
A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

Rain Check on My Heart
Sienna had long since stopped believing in love. Once upon a time, she'd given her heart away, only to watch it shatter into a million irreparable pieces. Now, love was nothing but a cruel illusion-something reserved for fairytales and fools. She wasn't either. But then came Jovan Westbrook. He was trouble wrapped in perfection. A walking contradiction. The kind of man who made promises with his eyes but never with his lips. He made her heart race, her skin burn, but he never let her in. Jovan was a storm she was willing to chase, even if it meant getting caught in the wreckage. And she almost had him-almost. But Jovan didn't do love. He was the man who kept his distance, who kissed her like she was his world but never called her his. Sienna wasn't blind; she knew she was nothing more than a beautiful complication to him. A fleeting pleasure. A side piece to his untouchable heart. Still, she stayed. Hoping. Wanting. Loving him when he refused to love her back. Until one day... she disappeared. No notes. No calls. No trace of where she went. Just a gaping emptiness where she used to be. And that's when Jovan felt it-the unbearable ache of missing someone you never let yourself love. Now, he's the one searching. The one chasing. The one who realizes too late that love isn't about convenience-it's about risk, about choosing someone even when it scares the hell out of you. But is he too late? Because some rain checks never get cashed in... and some hearts don't wait forever.Complete
