In a world where desire is a labyrinth and truth wears a mask, Velvet Nocturne invites you past the velvet curtain-into a carnival of obsession, illusion, and erotic undoing.
Lark is a legendary haunted body painter. She has a shadowy past. Then she receives a strange and cryptic invitation one day- "Paint your way out of the dream." And thus begins her descent into Nocturne-an underground surrealistic wonderland housing a secret psychological game, each gruesome level of which lays Lark bare, emotionally and sensually.
There she meets Vale-the cold steel-eyed architect of the game. Cool and cruel with the charm of control, Vale has shaped her world to be unbreakable. She never invited Lark. And yet she cannot seem to delete her.
The erotic trials dissolve the line between performance and truth as Lark and Vale become adrift in a push and-pull of dominance, vulnerability, and forbidden intimacy. Each challenge-the room of mirrors, roulette of secrets, marionette's dance-rips apart the thin veil of their identities and asks: Do they fall in love or is the game rewriting them?

Windsor Lane
When Rosie's new husband ignores her, she begs the harlot next-door for lessons on seduction (1980s suburban dystopia with a spicy lesbian romance) *** It's 1982, and newlywed Rosie McGee has just moved into an idealistic suburban cul-de-sac called Windsor Lane. As a good Christian girl, this is Rosie's dream come true... or at least, it should be. However, next-door-neighbor Scarlett Everly doesn't fit in with the rest of the good Christian wives in their neighborhood (she drinks, she sleeps around, and she doesn't even attend church!). Worse, Rosie's new husband suddenly seems utterly uninterested in her. Has he already been seduced by Scarlett? Or is Rosie simply too boring? After a honeymoon more closely resembling a funeral, Rosie gathers her courage and marches right up to Scarlett's door with a plea: teach me your ways. Scarlett agrees, with one condition: Rosie must model for her next painting. When the agreement leads to unexpected attraction, Rosie begins to question her own priorities. The warmth she once felt when holding Thomas's hand is nothing compared to what she feels when Scarlett is painting her. But a good Christian girl should not think of such things. Especially not in Windsor Lane. Grand Winner for the Pride Awards 2025 Honorable Mention in ONC 2025 ONC 2025 prompt 53: On your honeymoon, you discover the most shocking truth about your spouse--one that could change everything. Also prompt 118: You're feeling trapped in your current relationship and can't shake the urge to break free.Concluida
My Beloved Kitsune
Belicia Brooks grew up in a loving, but mundane home. As an only child Belicia didn't take well to abstract events or drama and anything that upset her routine lifestyle was strictly prohibited. By her. But a secret lurked within her family. A family ancestry she knew nothing about and powers she was born with would soon surface, bringing with it a kind of chaos she never imagined. The new guy in her school wasn't like anyone she had ever known. His presence sparked things in Belicia she'd had yet to experience. Like turmoil. And confusion. And, telepathy? Thankfully, she had her best friend Ava Avila to confide in. But would Ava be on her side, or, as Ava was known for loving gossip and drama, could Belicia trust her enough to tell her about her inner dialogue with the new guy? ___________________ An ancient family secret is about to be exposed. In the unsuspecting suburb of Kingsley Summit, Washington, the local high school becomes a battleground of wills when it is discovered the fated mate of a powerful Kitsune family lives in the United States of America. She doesn't realize it but Belicia is about to become the reason two families clash in a medieval tale of jealousy and revenge when a tale as old as time comes to life. When the Zenko Clan, an ancient family of Kitsune is alerted that their sons fated mate is in peril of being lost to them by the Yako Clan, the contest of wits begins, to see who will capture her heart first. The only catch is, neither can reveal the true identity of the other. The battle must be won while in their human form. As the two families of Shape-Shifters clash, only one can come away victorious.Concluida

Petals Of Vengeance
In a modern city cloaked in wealth and silence, Medusa lives under the name Zena, hiding her mythic identity behind enchanted contact lenses and a quiet life as an artifact restoration specialist at a prestigious museum. Her hands mend broken relics, but her soul remains cold-scarred by betrayal, centuries of exile, and the cruelty of men. By night, she becomes something else. Her serpents awaken, her eyes burn with ancient fury. When she gazes upon a rapist, he doesn't just turn to stone-he crumbles into dust, erased from existence. No body. No evidence. No trace. Only silence. Only justice. Her targets are chosen by Lina, a survivor Medusa once saved. Lina is now a criminology student by day and works as a digital ghost by night, infiltrating encrypted forums and survivor networks to identify predators who hide behind power and privilege, through their digital software called SerpentSight. Together, they form a secret alliance-vengeance delivered in whispers. Then comes Alex-a demisexual visual artist with a shattered heart. Years ago, Alex was manipulated and emotionally abused. Now, Alex paints in solitude, exploring myth and memory, trying to reclaim his life. He meets Zena at the museum during an artist residency. Their connection is slow, built on shared silences, mutual respect, and the ache of survival. Alex senses something ancient in Zena-something dangerous, but also deeply human. As their bond deepens, Lina uncovers a predator embedded in the art world: a powerful gallery owner running a female human trafficking ring, using art shows as a front to exploit vulnerable women. Survivors are silenced, sold, and erased. Medusa must decide: strike again and risk losing her humanity, or let Alex help her rewrite the narrative through art, truth, and rebellion.Concluida
The river
Nova is nineteen, in love, and quietly unraveling. On the outside, she's starting a new chapter of her life: college, independence, and a small apartment she shares with Hazel - the girl who makes her feel seen, safe, and loved. But inside, Nova's mind is a violent tide. Manic highs swallow her in electric energy she can't control. Psychotic breaks pull her into shadowed corners of reality. And the constant, crushing weight of mental illness threatens to drag her under before she ever gets the chance to breathe. Haunted by memories she can't outrun and emotions she can't always trust, Nova tries to keep her footing in a world that often feels like it's moving without her. Therapy sessions chip at the walls she's built. Creative sparks give her brief moments of clarity and purpose. Hazel's gentle steadiness becomes an anchor she wants to hold onto - even when she fears she's too broken to deserve it. But recovery is not linear, and the currents of Nova's mind are unpredictable. Some days she feels unstoppable, full of light and possibility. Other days she sinks so deep she can barely remember the surface exists. As school pressures build, old wounds reopen, and the past begins to seep into the present, Nova must confront the truth she's been avoiding: healing is messy, survival is brutal, and loving someone while fighting your own mind is its own kind of battle. Raw, intimate, and profoundly emotional, The River is a modern coming-of-age story about navigating mental illness, queer love, trauma, and the quiet bravery it takes to keep choosing life - even on the days when it feels impossible. Through lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, this novel invites readers into the aching beauty of Nova's journey as she learns that even when the water rises, there is still strength in reaching for the shore.
The Shapes of Quiet
Hi, I'm Honey Nocturne, the author of this book/short novel. I'm releasing this as a trial version, and if you'd like to support my writing, you can purchase the full EPUB edition on Amazon. I'm doing my best to make a living through my stories, so every bit of support helps. That said-if you truly want to read this book but can't afford it right now, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can email me at honeywrites4u@gmail.com, and I'll be happy to share a copy with you. Stories should be for everyone. ------------------------------ About the book: In a rain-damp city, tucked between crooked streets and ivy-covered windows, there is a bookshop where silence feels like a welcome. And behind the counter sits Elowen-quiet, peculiar, beautifully unreadable. Marianne doesn't mean to fall in love. Not loudly. Not all at once. But there's something in the way Elowen brews tea like an apology, arranges books like prayers, and hands over poems instead of explanations. The Shapes of Quiet is a love story whispered in stillness. It's about learning to read a person's silences, waiting for the soft bloom of trust, and cherishing the ways someone says "I love you" without ever speaking the words. For anyone who's ever found home in another person's hush-this is for you.Concluida
