She was a princess raised behind stone walls. He was the son of the sea, forged in salt and fire.
When Edith, the youngest daughter of Hazelwood's royal family, is taken hostage aboard a pirate ship, she expects cruelty, punishment... or worse. What she doesn't expect is Captain Archer: brooding, guarded, and far more complicated than the villain the crown made him out to be. As days at sea turn into nights of storm and shadow, Edith learns the truth of an ancient war-one that split the world between land and sea and left blood in its wake.
But something stirs beneath her skin. Strange dreams, strange power-something old, something forgotten. The ocean calls to her, and someone is listening.
With rebellion rising and loyalties shifting, Edith and Archer are bound together by more than fate. And in a world built on secrets, the greatest threat may not be the battles ahead, but the truths buried in their pasts.
A slow-burn romantic fantasy full of courtly intrigue, sea-bound legends, and the dangerous magic of what it means to choose your own destiny.

There are choices that feel like accidents. Decisions that arrive dressed as inevitability. And men who never act without already knowing the outcome. She doesn't realize she's been chosen, only that the world begins to bend when she steps into it. Elysian is not a place for coincidence. It rewards foresight, patience, and those ruthless enough to pull strings no one else can see. And he has built his empire on 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩. Power recognizes power and hers has 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 been dangerous. What looks like an unfortunate crossing of paths is anything but. Beneath every gesture lies intent. Beneath every silence, calculation. And beneath his attention, something sharpened by resistance rather than softened by it. They share a history that should have stayed buried, not because it was harmless, but because it taught them exactly how lethal the other could be. She thinks she's choosing her moves. He's been planning around them. Power shifts. Motives tangle. Obsession slips into something that looks like protection, like necessity until walking away stops being an option. Here, unions aren't built on submission, they're forged between equals who know precisely where to strike. A woman who refuses to be owned. A man who refuses to lose control. And a bond that was never a matter of if, only when. And the best part? 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭.

The Swashbuckling Writer
A best-selling novelist, Bri writes the stories of her dreams. The swashbuckling pirate has haunted her mind since she was a child, yet the daring adventures and family-like-crew bring her a thrill she can't quite explain. Things take an unexpected turn, though, when her dreams begin to leak into the real world... and the dangers she thought lived only in her imagination become real. -- "W-why are y-you doing this?" my voice cracks and I hate it, but my emotions are an absolute train wreck at this point and I'm not sure what's going on. "Because I want to," he said seriously, looking at me with an intense look, "I do nothing I do not want to do." "Why me?" I whisper, unable to take my eyes away from his hands as he dips into the bag and pulls out a small truffle with decorative lines on the top. Dark chocolate with caramel inside... I know it just by looking at it, because it's one of my favorites. "Because you are the only one that deserves to be by my side," his words make no sense as he presses the truffle to my lips gently... and they part in obedience before I can even think about it. The way he smirks as he presses it against my tongue, his finger lingering on my lip before he finally sits back... is the chocolate melting or am I melting? "Good girl," he murmurs. Me. I'm melting. Got it. -- All of my stories feature LGBTQ+ characters: in this novel, the MC is bisexual, and many of the supporting cast are also LGBTQ+.
