Apex Seira 1: The Factotum |
Cadrima Cervesa, a woman whose wealth and influence rivaled that of any monarch, found herself ensnared in a rather weird predicament. A shadow of death clung to her, claiming the lives of those closest to her with chilling regularity. The reasons remained shrouded in mystery, yet the urgency for protection was undeniable. Her fortune demanded discretion and effectiveness; a singular guardian capable of navigating the currents of her looming problem.
Into this maelstrom stepped Azazel Petrache. A former Navy SEAL, his physique both captivating and intimidating, he possessed the chilling efficiency of a finely honed instrument. More than a mere bodyguard, he became her factotum, entrusted with tasks ranging from the mundane to the dangerous, even into that of the intensely personal.
His loyalty was absolute, his ways effective. The tide of violence halted, leaving Cadrima suspended between hope and despair. Will she survive this?

Enthralled
WARNING: This is a work of fiction. Any names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are all fictitious and only existing in the author's mind. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead is purely coincidental. Anathalia Lavimoure had it all-fame, fortune, and a face plastered across billboards and movie screens. But behind the glamorous facade was a self-absorbed, sharp-tongued diva who was used to getting her way and never hearing the word no. As one of the most controversial figures in the industry, she'd made enemies in every corner-enemies who didn't just gossip behind her back, but were now actively hunting her down. Forced out of her luxurious life and into a nightmare she never imagined, Anathalia was suddenly on the run, desperate and terrified, with nowhere to hide and no one left to trust. Once a man with a future, Elias had been wrongfully convicted and left to rot in a prison cell for a crime he didn't commit. By the time he got out, the world had forgotten him-and he wanted nothing to do with it anyway. Hardened by betrayal and injustice, Elias had built walls no one could climb and trusted no one but himself. He had no interest in heroes or saving anyone. And yet, when fate threw a panicked, designer-heeled Anathalia into his path, running for her life, he didn't walk away. Maybe it was the fear in her eyes. Maybe it was the way her bravado crumbled in the face of real danger. Or maybe, deep down, Elias just couldn't turn his back on someone who felt what he had once felt-helpless, cornered, and utterly alone. Now bound by necessity and danger, the spoiled starlet and the bitter ex-con must rely on each other to survive. But as bullets fly and secrets unravel, the line between protection and connection begins to blur-and neither of them is ready for what that might mean.Complete

(The full version of this book is available on Webnovel!) "Do you see this?" I held up a card between my fingers. Jason looked at the card, then back at me, confusion clear as day in his eyes. "What is this?" "A wild card, obviously," he shrugged, looking like he was about to tell me to get to the point. All in due time. "Obviously," my smile probably looked sarcastic, like I was making fun of him. Jason had no business being fussy with the position he was in. "Take a look at your surroundings, my love. The situation you find yourself in is less than ideal, and I'm the only one who can save you," I was done being the hurt one. The one who was always left behind. "Now tell me again. What is this?"

The Obsidian Pact
The Obsidian Pact Lady Elara Veridia is a woman living on borrowed time. Her ancient family's wealth is gone, and her secret superpower-a chaotic, unpredictable telekinetic Aura-threatens to destroy her from within. Her only salvation comes in the form of a decree: a forced marriage to the most powerful man in the Territories. Kael Arcadia is a ruthless industrialist whose riches are limitless and whose heart is a glacial void. He sees Elara not as a bride, but as a calculated acquisition to secure his political agenda. Their union is a cold business merger, conducted under the sheer, unyielding weight of his high-tech Citadel. But this isn't just a political contract. Kael is guarding a terrible secret: an ancient fantasy evil known as the Void Entity is awakening, and only the rare defensive power of his bloodline, combined with the raw, volatile energy of Elara's Aura, can contain it. Their reluctant partnership quickly turns into high-stakes combat training, where mutual distrust gives way to dangerous, undeniable attraction. As Elara and Kael fight to stabilize their combined power, they are watched by Lysander, a charming, jealous rival who seeks to seize control of the Arcadia empire. His looming betrayal threatens not only to fracture their fragile alliance but also to unleash the Void upon the world. To save their people, Elara must master the power that terrifies her, and Kael must risk the one thing he swore to protect: his heart. Can a marriage born of duty and cold calculation evolve into the passionate strength needed to defeat a world-ending threat?
