His Possession
His Possession The flames didn't end them. They began them. She walked out of the fire not broken, but born again-scarred, blood-stained, and his. Not the girl he saved. The woman who chose to burn. Ira survived the interrogation. Survived the city's silence, its sirens, its lies. And waiting just beyond the ash was Rheyan-the man who brought the storm, who made the world bleed for her. He was no longer the shadow behind the flames. He was the fire itself. Now, the city whispers their names with fear. But they aren't done. While the world rebuilds from the ashes, Rheyan is planning something far worse. This time, it's not just revenge. It's devotion turned to obsession. Control sharpened into violence. Love rewritten as ruin. And Ira? She's no longer running from the darkness. She wants it. She needs it. She is it. This is not a love story. This is what happens after the fire. Where touch is possession. Where silence is worship. Where they will never belong to the world- Because they belong to each other. #Previously ranked 50 in Romantic ThrillerComplete
𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 || ✍︎︎
𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 built herself out of glass and fire, sharp enough to cut, bright enough to be seen. Once the head of a rising empire, she now wakes to find her name stripped from the company she created, her life reduced to contracts and control she never agreed to. But she doesn't break; she plots. Every breath becomes strategy, every silence a step toward taking back what's hers. The only problem is the man standing in her way, the same one she can't seem to stay away from. 𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈 learned early that love was a weapon and obedience the price of survival. Behind his charm lies temper, behind his control lies ruin. He's the son of a man who built kingdoms on blood, and he's spent his life trying not to become him. But when she enters his world, she threatens everything he thinks he understands about power, loyalty, and the quiet hunger he can't seem to kill. ꨄ -#1 in #billionare - 22/08/23 -#3 in #storytelling -14/11/23 -#1 in #girlboss - 06/11/23 -#1 in #stalker - 08/11/23 -#5 in #daddyissues - 21/02/24 -#5 in #arrangedmarriage - 04/07/24
Her Name Was Magic
She was born from prophecy. She fell in love with a girl who wasn't in it. Eira was meant to save the realm or destroy it-depending on who you asked. Bound to a forgotten star, hunted by nobles, and feared by her own coven, she was trained to lead but never taught to feel. Then came Lyra: wild-hearted, vine-blooded, and utterly untouchable. A warrior with secrets of her own and eyes that made Eira forget every rule she'd ever followed. As rebellion brews and ancient magic stirs beneath the city, love might be their greatest power-or the thing that unravels them both. Witches. Queerness. Betrayal. Magic that blooms and burns. If the world ends, it'll be because Eira loved her anyway.Complete
Tempting Fate
When a young warrior-turned-spy finds a rare magic wielder her people thought extinct, she must make a decision: stay loyal to those she loves, or return to her people as a hero. Season 2 of The Fated Series *** Secrets have been Brynn Alburn's companions since the moment her people left her for dead on the shores of the Western Shifter Territory. Having grown up among those once considered enemies, she's spent more time hiding from a dark past than living a peaceful life. But as the years pass, she's finally found herself settling into this new life with the shifters. Until she hears the whispers. Whispers of a separate kind of rare magic wielder-one her people thought extinct and have sought to return to their land. When the leader of the Western Shifter Territory asks her to help spy on the wielders and assist the neighboring Southern Shifter Territory, Brynn jumps at the chance to visit the territory directly connected to the rumors. Her visit leads her directly to Ronan, one of the deadliest shifters in all of Eravella, and a man she's inexplicably drawn to. Now, Brynn's been enlisted to help the Southern Shifter Territory rescue one of their own. The recovery effort puts her closer to Ronan, and gives her the chance to locate the treasure her people searched for. Except Ronan has a close eye on her, and he's refusing to let her keep her past buried deep where it belongs. Now she must fight her developing feelings, locate the wielder, and make the ultimate decision: protect the wielder and keep her secrets, or betray those she's come to love.Complete
