In a city teetering between magic and modernity, Eclipse Maelstrom and Onyx Umbra navigate a world where humans and mythical beings live in uneasy coexistence. She is a siren-mermaid hybrid and royal heir to an underwater kingdom. He is a pureblood vampire with a brutal past and a burning devotion to those he loves.
At junior college, Eclipse and Onyx find each other-two outsiders orbiting one another in silence, drawn together by a chemistry neither can ignore. With the help of their close-knit, mixed-species friend group, they finally surrender to love. But happiness is fragile in a world still ruled by fear.
Years into their relationship, Eclipse's kingdom spirals into chaos. Rogue sea-creatures launch violent attacks on land, and despite her innocence, Eclipse becomes a target of human rage. She is harassed, hunted, and ultimately killed-while carrying Onyx's unborn child.
Broken and consumed by loss, Onyx plans the ultimate act of vengeance. After evacuating his loved ones, he returns to the city to mourn his love one last time. And then he sets the world that took everything from him ablaze.
Ashes Beneath the Waves is a dark fantasy romance of forbidden love, systemic hatred, and the storm that erupts when grief has nothing left to lose.

To Look Beyond A Glance
"January Lee is the embodiment of an affair between sunlight and beauty." Her wild hair dances in the breeze like sunbeams, her energy is as bright as the midday sun, and her boundless curiosity mirrors the sun's relentless exploration of the world. "Narciso De Santis is an abstract masterpiece masquerading as chaos." At first glance, he's a whirlwind of contradictions - a man of few words. He's the quietest storm you'll ever encounter, radiating an aura of 'keep out,' yet beneath that rough exterior lies something greater. The sight of Narciso De Santis frantically dumping a blood-soaked duffel bag into her favorite spot- a secret creek in the woods- initially sent a jolt of panic through January. Dismissing it as her overactive imagination, January decides to move on. Then the whispers start - a local teen goes missing. Coincidence? Is Narciso De Santis truly a murderer? Is this a misunderstanding? Can January mind her own business? "There's something about the allure of darkness that turns a good girl on." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Started Writing: 01/10/2024 Published First Chapters: 12/13/2024 Finished: 04/14/2025 #1 slow burn 04/19/25Complete
Moving In

However, I was a kid when I wrote this so take it with a grain of salt. *** Like a deer in head lights, I freeze and watch as the car comes towards me expecting to get hit. But to my surprise, the car swerves to the side slightly next to me and comes to a stop. I take a deep breath I didn't know I was holding at the driver's side door swings open and a very pissed off Axel steps out. "Thank god," I mumble and place my hands on my knees to catch my breath. "Blaze?" He says and I hate it. I hate how he says my name as if it's his. Like he knows it's the only thing I want to hear, him calling out to me, looking at me, focused to me. It's the first time in my life I wanted someone's attention so badly I didn't care how I got it. And that was too dangerous for me to hold onto. "Are you insane or some shit? I could have killed you!" He says and starts to walk towards me. I take a big breath and step back away from him, "s-stop! Axel," I stutter still panting. It's then he notices the blood on my hands and shirt. "Is that blood?" He asks staring at my shirt and I take another step back. "Stop, stay b-back," I try to say confidently but I can't even breath right. Realizing he won't listen I start to turn around planning to make a break for it. "Don't run from me Blaze it won't go well," he growls reading my thoughts causing me to freeze in my spot. "Do not ever think you can get away from me."Complete

But when Cassian, a government enforcer with secrets of his own, is sent to monitor her, cracks begin to form in Nereya's carefully controlled life. He's calm. Deadly. And uncomfortably human. Worse-he makes her feel. When her buried powers awaken during a failed execution, the city turns on her. The regime brands her as a sea-born - a child of the ancient drowned gods. Now hunted, Nereya must choose: trust the enemy who defies his own orders to protect her... or make a deal with a dark sea god who promises vengeance, power, and survival - at the cost of her soul. But there's one rule she cannot break: If she falls in love... the sea will claim them both.Complete
Soul Searcher
The day Elara Vale almost lost her sister, the world shifted. Roots tore through the soil at her touch, shadows bent unnaturally, and in one heartbeat, everything she thought she knew cracked apart. Her mother's truth followed soon after: magic was real, it lived in her blood, and it was time she faced the Academy. Caelestis Academy is nothing like Elara imagined. Towers carved with runes rise over a mist-filled gorge, students are sorted into factions of Earth, Water, and Air-and everywhere she turns, the absence of a fourth lingers like a scar. Soul. Erased. Condemned. Forbidden. While others wear their trauma like a badge, Elara carries only questions-and a secret she can't afford to reveal. Because the fire burning inside her does not belong to the earth she's been claimed by. It belongs to the one element the world has sworn to fear. Haunted by whispers, tangled in rivalries, and pulled toward friendships she never expected, Elara must decide who she can trust before the shadows beneath the school rise again. Some truths are heavy enough to break you. Others can set the world on fire.

In between banters and battles, secrets and sacrifices, their hearts begin to shift like the ocean-restless, unstoppable, and drawn to one another.
