Fame always costs something. She just didn't know it would be herself.
Selene Lockhart once believed that being seen would save her-that applause could stitch together the emptiness inside. But as her art career rises under the sharp-eyed watch of her publisher, Vincent, the spotlight begins to burn instead of warm.
Desperate to stay relevant in a world that eats its artists alive, Selene makes a mistake she can't undo-sabotaging the only person who ever truly saw her. Ava Sterling was never just a rival; she was a friend Selene never let herself have.
Now haunted by guilt, obsession, and a fame that feels more like a cage, Selene must choose: chase the illusion of freedom, or finally confront the truth behind her success-and the cost of the name she's built for herself.
A slow-burn psychological drama about art, identity, and the silent violence of ambition.

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim)
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat.

Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.
