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?

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.Concluída
Go Against Destiny ✓
★𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐘𝐒 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐊/𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 - 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀★ Neither of them had total confidence in destiny. Not even when they started to see the invisible red strings that bound people to their soul mates. Not especially when they learned who the other person was at the end of their own thread. University educators, Sky De Vera and JP Nieves, were connected soul mates, but they refused to be controlled by fate. In a battle between chance and choice, would this pair be able to break away from their red string? Or would they fall into destiny's trap that they were desperately trying to avoid? A standalone spin-off of Their Parallel Universe, set six years back. Mature contents: - depiction of child neglect and psychological child abuse in a few flashbacks. - a bit of suggestive scenes and risque language on the last chapter. No smut and nothing sexually explicit. * Other than those, the whole story is pretty lighthearted. 2024 AMBY AWARD Top Pick for Romance Novellas Padauk Mini Awards Second Place - Best Characters Rose Awards 2023 Third Place - Best Blurb 7x Featured: @SpeculativeFiction (December 2023) @Romance (January 2024) @StoriesUndiscovered (March 2024) @NARomance (April 2024) @APIFantasy (June 2024) @mythandlegend (June 2024) @Fantasy (June 2024)Concluída

Training For War: The Bond Once Severed Book 2 (Updating)
(Looks like my updates on this are slowing down to almost once a month, sorry, as I get closer to the conclusion, the process slows. I will continue to try to publish once or twice a month on Saturday or Sunday.) The Masters are gathered, and the students have shown their skills, but the training has barely begun. Natalia waits for the new life growing in her body and her soul. She has made her choice, but it will not be the last one. In the safety of the Master's Vale, the complexity of the real world can be forgotten, especially during the rigors of training. But outside of the Vale, forces continue to move towards war. Lukas waits outside the Vale, trying not to become jealous of the life Natalia and Raja are building together. His purpose is clear, he must save the Kingdom from downfall, the Queen must not win this ground. But his reasons for fighting are beginning to blur and forces around him seek to shift his focus. Who is his true enemy? Raja should be happy. He has two bondmates, growing magic, and an offspring he had never anticipated. But everything feels like it is balanced on a knife's edge, and his Tribe calls to him. What will tip the scale? The intrigues of the Masters and the Queen become ever more complex, weaving a web over the three. As more people enter their lives, the tangles and snares multiply. No one can see the future clearly, but the Queen will not stop. So it is time for everyone to prepare for war.
Petite Chanson: A Thirst Named Melody
I wasn't chosen. I was noticed-like a flame notices a moth. Like a blade notices soft skin. Titania and Oberon saw me, and that was enough. She speaks like smoke in a cathedral. He watches like he's carving me open with his eyes. Together, they don't love. They consume. Worship. Possess. And I-I think I want to be ruined. Slowly. Beautifully. Completely. There's no safety in their world. Only hunger in silk. Only devotion written in bruises and blood. They call me their little song. A thing to play. A thing to break. But even soft songs can summon storms. A bisexual vampire fever dream. Dark romance, erotic horror, burlesque, obsession. She's the prey. They're the predators. And none of them want to stop.Concluída

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.Concluída
