She's not royalty. But in a world built on legacy and lies, Charlotte Everen might as well be. Perfect daughter. Polished fiancée. Her future sealed by blood and contracts she never signed. Everyone wants her-the name, the beauty, the power. But no one sees the girl beneath the silk, trapped in a life she never chose.
No one except him.
Lucien Thorne was raised in the shadows of her world-her family's personal servant, their most loyal weapon. To outsiders, he's silent and obedient. But to Charlotte, he's always been something else entirely. A watchful presence. A bitter reminder. A fire barely contained behind silver-blue eyes.
She was raised to rule. He was trained to serve.
But Lucien has never followed the rules.
When Charlotte is forced into an engagement with a man she can't stomach, Lucien's control finally cracks. Obsession. Jealousy. Possession. He's not ready to let her go. And this time, he won't.
Even if he has to steal her.
Even if she's not sure she wants to escape.
Bound in Ash and Silk is a dark, obsessive, enemies-to-lovers romance that weaves together forbidden longing, twisted loyalty, and a love born from fire and forged in control. For fans of Haunting Adeline, Twisted Games, and The Sweetest Oblivion-where the servant watches, the princess burns, and no one comes out unscathed.

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Completa

The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
Thornes : Alderbrook
Trigger Warnings: Abuse, Intense Taboo, Romantic Themes, Family Secrets, Brandon Thorne doesn't lose. At 38, he's untouchable-ruthless, paranoid, and completely fucking insane. Men fear him. His enemies crumble. He built his empire with his bare hands, crushed anyone in his way. But now, standing in a seedy bar, watching the girl on stage with too much attitude and not enough shame, he sees what he missed. Willa Whitmore. Brandon locked her parents away without a second thought. Never even checked if they had a kid. Oops. Now she's here, shaking her ass for cash, glaring like she'd stab him if given the chance. And fuck, he likes it. Willa Whitmore is not impressed. First, the bastard ruins her life. Now he's sitting at the bar, drinking whiskey like he didn't single-handedly destroy her entire existence. And worse? He's staring. Like he wants to eat her alive. She should run, but then come his idiot sons. Complete freakshows. Otto and Max. Otto is all brawn, zero impulse control, a psycho with a chainsaw grin. Willa swears he gets off on making her scream. Max is quieter, smarter, but twice as fucked up. If Otto is a feral dog, Max is the one watching her sleep, planning her funeral, and picking out the music. Brandon wants to own her. Otto wants to break her. Max? He just wants to keep her. Forever. Maybe in a basement. So she plays along-smiles, obeys, acts like she isn't plotting their destruction. But the more time she spends with them, the harder it gets. Because the Thornes might be completely, irredeemably insane... but maybe Willa is, too.Completa
