Siren Song (The Fated #1)
Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her. After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has. Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by MoranaComplete
Broken Bloom
Some loves are forbidden not by society-but by the ghosts we carry within. Shaina Suyesh was never meant to be here-not in Darjeeling, not in this borrowed life, not holding a title she never asked for. But fate doesn't wait for permission. Torn away from her dreams and the warmth of her grandmother's home in Kumaon, Shaina arrives in the mist-draped hill town, carrying more than just packed bags-she carries guilt, grief, and a heart that's learning how to be lonely. She was prepared for solitude. She wasn't prepared for Madhav. Mysterious, unattainable, and tangled in the very threads of the life she's trying to survive-his presence both soothes and complicates everything. With every fleeting moment, every shared silence, and every accidental touch, she finds herself pulled toward a love that feels as forbidden as it is fated. But in a world built on secrets, where even rain seems to remember the past... how do you hold on to something that was never meant to be yours? A story about longing, memory, and the ache of falling for someone you can't have-set in the quiet chaos of Darjeeling's rain-kissed corners.
The Pendant
A girl finds a pendant washed up on shore as she watches her father fish in the surf. The mystery of the pendant takes a back seat to the daily struggles of survival, but when a delegation comes to shore one day, she finds more questions, and ultimately answers, from the handsome translator who speaks on behalf of his stranded crewmates.Complete
A Flare of Flames
Islia was put to sleep a century ago and has spent those years beneath black waves, waiting. In the world above, Orision, King of Selanthia, has been dreaming of a flame impossibly burning underwater. When he is told that this may be the answer to his life's greatest mystery, he wastes no time in diving in. Orision is shocked to find that the flame is, as it turns out, a glowing red-haired Islia. And she is his mate. But the spell that saved Islia's life all those years ago has come at a cost, and now, the clock is ticking. Oris, the man who feels nothing and trusts no one, finds himself unwillingly but fiercely devoted to a skittish woman he is destined to both love and lose. Islia, burdened by a sacred duty and devastating loss alike, finds it hard to trust the son of the man who killed her family and looks at her like she's his. But once they fall... There is no going back.Complete

I'm sorry
"I wish for this pretty lady to smile." she heard an unknown voice besides her shout to the sea. She slowly lifted her head to see who it was meeting with two ocean blue eyes looking at her as the guy gave out a breath taking smile. "Hi." he waved at her.Complete
