faultline (twisted devotion, #1)
Aurora Kensington has spent years trying to silence the voice in her head-the one that sounds too much like Briar Holloway. The girl who was once her best friend. The girl who came out to her. The girl she pushed away. Now eighteen, Aurora is desperate to prove she's everything she's supposed to be: a good daughter, a devoted Catholic, normal. But no matter how hard she prays, no matter how many rules she follows, she can't shake the feeling that something inside her is broken. And when she sees the lights on in the Holloway house for the first time in years, something deep in her chest stirs. She doesn't know Briar is back. Not until she turns around at a party and finds her standing there. Briar never planned to return to Chapelwood, but with her family drowning in debt and her grandmother's health failing, she had no choice. She tells herself she doesn't care about Aurora anymore-that she only came to this party because she thought it'd be funny. But the second their eyes meet, the past slams into her like a tremor. Old wounds. Old feelings. Ones that never truly faded. Because "love" (if you can call it that) like theirs doesn't disappear. It fractures. It festers. It trembles under the weight of everything unsaid. And if they're not careful, it might just swallow them whole. But none of it truly matters anyway. Not unless Aurora is willing to face the truth about herself. A story about love, sin, and the thin line between devotion and obsession.Complete
I Got Stuck in a Forbidden Romance as the Villainess(EDITING)
Isha Smith was just an ordinary book addict with a dangerous weakness for forbidden romance... until her favourite novel literally swallowed her whole. Now she's trapped in the body of Valeria Duclair-the breathtaking, powerful, and utterly doomed villainess destined to die at the hands of the man she chased so desperately. Armed with nothing but razor-sharp sarcasm, a encyclopedic knowledge of every overused romance cliché, and a fierce determination to live, Isha is ready to rewrite the entire tragic script. No more scheming. No more pearl-clutching jealousy. And definitely no dying for a man who never loved her. But rewriting fate isn't easy when the engagement to the cold, dangerously handsome Vincent Veyrault is already looming, Seraphina's infuriating angel-face innocence is stealing every spotlight, and two obsessively possessive brothers are circling like sharks who smell blood in the water. Can a sarcastic bookworm survive the deadly plot that killed the original villainess... or will she end up just as dead as the rumours promised? One thing's for certain: this time, the villainess refuses to play by the book.
