In the isolated coastal town of Blackthorn Cove, the sea doesn't just drown-it *consumes*.
Thirty years after the mysterious disappearance of star-crossed lovers **Mara Kane** and **Thomas Voss**, their children collide in a storm of secrets, betrayal, and sentient evil. **Liam Kane**, a marine biologist haunted by his mother's unsolved death, arrives to study a toxic algae bloom poisoning the cove's waters. **Elena Voss**, a journalist reeling from her father's suicide, returns to uncover his obsession with the town's ritualistic drownings. What they find is a conspiracy as deep as the ocean: the algae is alive, mutating, and driving the townsfolk to madness.
As Liam and Elena unravel a trail of moonstone-marked corpses and encrypted journal entries, they discover their parents' doomed love affair-and a pact forged by the town's founders to feed the algae with sacrificial lives. But the deeper they dig, the more the water tightens its grip. Sheriff Clay Dunn's threats turn lethal. Hallucinations bleed into reality. And the algae, now sentient, whispers through the rain, demanding a new pair of souls to sustain its hunger.
To survive, Liam and Elena must confront a truth more venomous than the tide: sometimes love is the deadliest toxin of all.

Book 1: Velvet Chains
Blandina "Dina" Rose was raised in a world where control masked as protection. Born to a wealthy but cold political dynasty, her life has always been dictated-what to wear, who to smile for, what secrets to bury. But at twenty-seven, she's done playing the perfect daughter. On the run from an arranged engagement that's more power-play than romance, Dina vanishes into the underground world of exclusive erotic clubs where identities are masked, desires are raw, and no rules exist. There, she becomes "Rose," a mysterious, submissive siren who surrenders her body but guards her heart. When she's claimed by a dark, dominant stranger who calls himself Cain, her boundaries begin to blur-because Cain isn't just any man. He's the one person forbidden to her: her father's former protégé turned political rival, a man whose ambitions could destroy her family... and whose mouth writes confessions across her skin. Their chemistry is immediate, brutal, and consuming-built on secrecy, dominance, and mutual obsession. Dina finds herself spiraling into a dangerous addiction, torn between craving his control and fearing how much of herself she's willing to give. But in Cain's world, everything has a price... and soon, love, lust, and betrayal become weapons. As their erotic game deepens into something neither can control, Dina must decide if she's escaping her past-or becoming something darker, hungrier, and far more powerful than she ever imagined.مكتمِلة

The Lycan's Flame
Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?مكتمِلة

Hunted
**COMPLETED*** This is book 2 and can be read as a standalone but I recommend you read "Fated" first. Something caught my eye and when I looked up in the mirror I saw Rykan stepping inside, shutting the door and sliding the lock in place. My heart hammered in my chest as he approached me. He came right up behind me, setting his hands on my hips, never breaking our gaze through the mirror. "Kora," he murmured, stepping closer until my back brushed against his chest. His hand slid down to the end of my skirt and he flattened his palm against my bare leg, sliding his hand up my skirt. "I'm married," I blurted, swallowing hard and trying to ignore how much I liked the way it felt having his hands on me. "Hm," he grunted, narrowing his eyes as he continued his ascension up my outer thigh. His touch sent tingles all over my body, sending heat right between my legs. He gripped my leg and suddenly turned me, his hand now palming my ass as he pulled me against him, his teeth scraping against my neck as his other hand up to my neck. "Didn't seem to bother you when you had me down your throat last night," he said, wrapping his hand around my throat and lifting his head to give me one of those heart-stopping stares. "In fact, I believe you started that, angel." Koralie always felt that there was a part of herself missing. A part she hadn't yet discovered. Stuck in a toxic marriage, she's navigating her way out of it when she meets Rykan, a mysterious stranger she feels an undeniable draw towards although she isn't sure why. Things become even more intense when he starts showing up in her dreams, claiming he is a werewolf and they are mates. An even more unexpected turn of events comes when Kora starts looking into the supernatural world and finds it is not as foreign to her as it should be. Warning: This story contains very mature themes including brief mentions of abuse, mature language, mental health and sexual content.مكتمِلة
