At the turn of the 20th century, in a quiet seaside village perched on the cliffs of England, Daphne Evans, the daughter of a fisherman, is carving out a life for herself. Working at the neighboring estate, Biltshire Hall, as a housemaid, she's beginning to find her footing. Her beauty is undeniable. Her desires simple: a steady job and a courtship that will free her from her father's grasp.
But when Lord Mortimer, the estate's wealthy owner, dies suddenly under strange circumstances, everything changes. His sprawling estate and title pass to an unknown heir: the strikingly handsome and unsettlingly charming Lord Lucian. At first, Lucian's attention feels like a dream come true-a fairy tale. But as his gaze grows more intense and his intentions more ambiguous, Daphne begins to question the true nature of the man who now controls the estate-and possibly her heart.
As Daphne is drawn deeper into Lucian's world, she must decide whether the life he offers is one of genuine love or a gilded cage. In the tangled web of power, seduction, and dark secrets, Daphne stands at a crossroads. Will she remain prey to Lucian's desires-or will she find the strength to turn the tables and become something far more dangerous?
A dark, modern retelling of the Daphne and Apollo myth, A Season for Daphne explores the interplay of beauty, power, and the fragile line between love and control.

MASTER SEBASTIAN
#Dark #Forbidden #Vampire His eyes darkened. Voice rough with desire, he warned, "Don't tempt me, mortal." Before, his angered state would've served to draw me to line, but today I found it only aroused me. Voice breathy, I said, "Or else what, master?" ____ The vampires have invaded earth, leaving mortals with nothing but their names and the mere clothes on their backs. Humans are being sent to special schools to be trained in the art of serving vampire masters and their various Houses. Amongst these mortals is a girl named Eleanor. She is unaware of her royal bloodline or of who her father is, and because of this, fate throws her and Sebastian, a very powerful vampire lord, together.Concluida
Black Roses on Her Grave
He was never meant to love her. She was never meant to survive him. ☾༺♰༻☽ Adelise has always been an outcast, scorned for her auburn hair and the curse it represents to the superstitious folk. When she crosses paths with Ares, a vampire who has spent half a century locked in solitude, she becomes entangled in a dangerous fate that neither of them can escape. Ares has vowed never to trust a human again, but something about Adelise threatens to unravel everything he thought he knew. At the heart of their story lies an ancient relic, a time puzzle crafted from shattered mirrors and forbidden magic. It does not merely reflect the past, it bends it, distorts it, and opens a doorway to a future neither of them expected. Across fractured timelines, their lives intertwine in ways they cannot fully understand, bound by love, fate, and the secrets the puzzle refuses to reveal all at once. A dark, gothic romance novella filled with longing, betrayal, and second chances, Black Roses on Her Grave poses the reader with one question: If you could change fate, would you? ☾༺♰༻☽ Ranked #1 in Vampire Romance (Jan 2026) Ranked #1 in Gothic Romance (Jan 2026)Concluida

The Siren's Song
Daphne longed for something more than what the ocean held for her. She is tainted by the race that she was born to lead if anything happened to her brothers that made them incapable of leading their kingdom. There was nothing down there for her that would give her any happiness. She needed something that could pull away from the feelings of hate that she feels for herself. The depression that seeps into her bones every time she is hit, either with words or an object. Daphne needed something that would save her from the world that she is withering in. Maybe she could find what she is looking for in the world up above. The one where she and anyone in her kingdom are forbidden from adventuring to. It was a world that was just only out of her reach. She only had to find a way to get there. Then maybe she could find her happily ever after.Concluida
