To survive its streets, she binds a vampire to her, a dangerous gamble that she makes in hope of finding her sister. As days pass, the line between protection and companionship begins to blur. Veyl finds herself drawn to the creature she should fear and hate, even as secrets unravel around them.

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
The Quiet Offering
The gods chose them. But what if the gods lied? Cael's world runs on worship-every birth, breath, and death bound to divine light. He's never questioned it. Until his sister slips into an unnatural coma, and the gods demand a price for her salvation. Hunted by monsters, torn between loyalty and truth, Cael must decide: will he wield the sword that protects the lie, or ignite the flame that burns it all down? A tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and love in a world where gods wear masks, and faith itself can topple kingdoms. (Slow-burn, but once it ignites, it consumes.)
HYBRID OF THE FALLEN
Seraphina's world crumbled on her 18th birthday when her family's darkest secret was laid bare for the entire pack to see. Her mother had committed the ultimate sin-an affair with a Fallen, a tribe of fierce warriors with black wings, locked in a bitter feud with the werewolf kingdom. For that crime, her mother was burned at the stake, and Seraphina was cast aside by her father and sister, left to rot in the royal pack as nothing more than a slave. Her life became a cycle of pain, fear, and regret. Every night, she clung to the hope of her fated mate, the one person destined to love her. But when he appeared, he wasn't just anyone-he was the returning prince, the future king of the werewolves. And instead of saving her, he shattered her with rejection, disgusted by her tainted blood-half fallen, half wolf, an abomination. Broken, without a wolf, and branded a disgrace, Seraphina believed she had nothing left. Until the day she discovered the impossible truth-her second mate.

Veil of Twilight
Finally, the vampire spoke again, his voice deadly serious. "So, the question remains: will you trust me and undertake this dangerous journey, or will you choose an end far less... glamorous?"
