God of Storms
Book I in the Ruined Gods series
The kingdom of Brumefall knows better than to wake their grief-stricken King. His rage is as relentless as the storms he commands, his wrath a legend whispered in fear. Yet a reckless dare leads Princess Aura Valienne of Elarion to do the unthinkable-climbing the fortress and rousing the slumbering storm after more than a century.
Now, there is no escape.
Faced with an ultimatum-death or servitude-Princess Aura is bound to King Gabriel Ashford until he decides she has paid for her mistake. But her royal blood is undeniable, and even as a prisoner, she refuses to break. There is more to Aura than just her lineage, and the Storm God senses it from the moment he sets his eyes on her.
The longer she remains in his realm, the more the Princess realizes the feared King is not just a monster, but a man haunted by loss and fury. Despite the danger, she finds herself drawn to his tempest.
Lord Adrian Lockworth, King Gabriel's closest friend and confidant, offers Princess Mary Valienne a place in the castle, ensuring the sisters do not have to be apart. His quiet admiration and gentle guidance offer a refuge amid the chaos, but as fate tightens its grip, even the softest hearts may be tested beyond anything they ever imagined.
Some forces should never be woken.
And some storms can never be tamed.
"You locked me in like a prisoner."
"You're not a prisoner. You're alive. There's a difference."
"You think that justifies it?"
"I think it kept you from being killed," he said flatly. "So yes, I do."
Aura narrowed her eyes. "And what if I don't want to be safe at the cost of my freedom?"
"And what if I don't want to lose you at the cost of your pride?"

What The Ashes Remember
For centuries, Seraphina was a living Saint, a vessel of divine light gifted by the land's guardian dragon. Her touch could mend any wound, her presence a balm against the world's darkness. But when a rival kingdom slew the dragon and stole its power, her light was extinguished. Now, blamed for the tragedy and stripped of her divinity, she lives in self-imposed exile as a humble village herbalist, her past a ghost that haunts her every waking moment. But the past does not stay buried. A magical plague, born from the corrupted heart of the dead dragon, is seeping back into the world. It is a sickness of decay, a creeping blight that no mortal medicine can stop. To save the people she has come to care for, Seraphina must confront the source of her greatest failure. She is not expecting to find him there. Ash is the Ashen Phoenix, a terrifying omen of ruin whose nature is not to create, but to consume. Wreathed in life-draining grey flames, he is a being of endings and decay. He is also the key to stopping the plague. Bound by an ancient vow to the dragon she failed, Ash offers Seraphina a chilling deal: his power in exchange for her company on a perilous journey to the heart of the corruption. A healer who can no longer heal and a destroyer who brings only silence-together they are the world's only hope. But can light be found in the ashes of a fallen Saint, and can life bloom in the heart of a being made of death?Terminé
Hate & Heaven | 18+
"You're a devil," she whispered, her voice raw and filled with a mix of anger and desire. Dimitrio chuckled, the sound deep and resonant, reverberating through her like a bass note in a symphony of seduction. "And aren't you this devil's heaven?," he breathed against her skin, his mouth moving to her neck, his teeth scraping lightly against her flesh. She shivered, her body responding to him. "Monster," she swore at him again, the word a whisper that held no real heat. Her voice was a tremble, a soft protest that was lost in the sea of passion that surrounded them. He chuckled, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "Call me whatever you want, as long as you come screaming my name." His voice was a dark promise, the arrogance in his tone sending a fresh wave of heat through her. *************** Under moon's dark veil, Princess shivers, devil grins. He takes her to wail, Hell turns heaven as night spins. The devil's heart became her throne *************** 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝟭 of 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 When Greek mafia don Dimitrios Valentzas plans on stealing one of the mysterious Emerald in the world, he doesn't expect to take an additional souvenir - Royal Princess Nakshathra Varma.

Ghost Thorns (Ghost Perfume, Book 3)
The Alistairs admitted the truth. Their fifth is Rose, both silver and gold-called, though her existence must remain a secret from those who'd imprison her or condemn the Alistairs for their change of heart. With Rose operating from the shadows, they fight for both sides: to free the priests and protect the living and the dead from the hunger of the worms. *** (Excerpt, Alexander's POV) *** Rose laughed. "She wasn't cruel, just bossy. She kept telling me to find privacy and not to tell anyone that she was contacting me." "Why?" Gabriel asked. "She didn't say. Please don't ever tell her I told you." "The priests make secrecy their policy in everything," I said. "What would you have done if I wasn't here?" Would you have kept her a secret from us, Rose? Her warm fingers ran over the nape of my neck. "I'd have been even more upset that you weren't here." Too cute. She was going to be the death of me. Eyes that begged me to come closer while she put her hand on my chest, warning me off. Climbing on top of me, but keeping the blanket between us. And for the first time in my life I wanted something bad enough that I was afraid to push for it. "Don't worry that we'll step between you and Beatrice," I said. "Build trust with her however you see fit." She gave me a sweet smile. When was Gabriel going to get off the damn call? I'd had Rose to myself for all of two seconds before the world interrupted. "Tell her sometime that you hate us," Gabriel suggested. "If you want to build trust with her." Rose promptly frowned. "I'd rather not." "One day, spit on Gabriel in her presence," I piled on. "She'll kiss your cheek." "Did she always hate you like this? Why?" "Some feelings don't have a good cause. Nothing but one tribe against another," Gabriel said.
