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.

He has you pinned against the wall and is scanning your body with his now glowing red eyes. They only glow for two reasons- for anger, and for desire. "Didn't you always read in stories that I'm a master of temptation? Of manipulation?" He breathes lightly against your neck, tilting your head by the wad of hair he's now twisted around his finger. Your heart races against his body as you realize once again the deal you've made. "I never believed in that stuff," you squeak out an answer in between pants. His servants knock on the door, and with a snap, he locks it tight. You feel one of his fangs trace the thin of your skin and you jolt. He smirks.

You brave, sexy little thing," He picks you up by the thighs and walks you to the bed that he's now snapped a black comforter onto before throwing you onto it.

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
The Shattered One
This is an original work, so if you plan to offer something, don't. She woke up fractured, wrong, and forgotten. The world she once knew is gone, twisted by a cataclysm known only as The Fade. Now, forests breathe, light drips like water, and creatures mimic human voices with uncanny precision. Time bends in impossible ways, and raw emotion manifests into monsters. Nothing is natural. Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.
The Demon's Promise
Left on a lonely beach as a child, Seren was found by a kind couple and raised in a quiet coastal village - but the sea never forgot her, and neither did the darkness that brought her there. As Seren grows, strange things follow her: flickers of power, whispers in her dreams, a feeling that something is waiting just beyond the waves. Despite her warmth and quick wit, she's a troubled girl - haunted by visions she can't explain and a voice that sounds too much like her own. When tragedy strikes and Seren falls into a coma, she awakens in a world between life and death... and comes face-to-face with the truth: her mother is no human. She is a demon - ancient, furious, and ready to reclaim what she made. Seren escapes back to her world believing her mother's lies of love and redemption. But as the years pass, the sky begins to fracture, the oceans burn, and the truth surfaces - her mother is the one ending everything. Now, with her powers spiraling out of control and the world collapsing around her, Seren must face the woman who gave her life... and may be forced to take it away.Complete
The Inceptive Flame⎪✓
"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips. "Do you kiss a lot of your friends, love?" The underlying tones threaten to provoke a blush on my cheeks, but I get myself together. Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building. She refuses to show anyone what's going on behind closed doors, especially when her lovely father gets the traumatic news that he has an incurable disease. Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways. Even though he throws everyone off, except for when they want sexual advances, he still can't help but feel enthralled by the freckled girl who's hiding so many secrets behind a fake smile. As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?

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.
Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.
