**Summary:**
**Celeste Winters** is 19, innocently sweet, allergic to the sight of men, and terrified of them. This is a result of a tragic incident from her past that no therapist has ever been able to interpret. She's also lost. Not metaphorically. She's actually lost in the dark woods near her dreary hometown of Gravenhollow, in one sock, holding onto a cat named Freud.
She believes she's hallucinating when a dark limousine pulls up alongside her. A horned man, designer-clad and bloodied, with a voice that doesn't sound right, invites her in. He introduces himself as **Lucien D'Arcangelo**, head of the Seven Hells Syndicate-a devil crime family that trades in souls, sins, and second chances.
He insists that Celeste is a "gift" he is owed-a virgin soul, unblemished body, keeper of an old forgotten key to Heaven's gates.
She only wishes to return home. He wishes for her to kneel down.
Too bad devils' bargains are enforceable. Particularly when they are sealed with blood, terror, and something Celeste did not even know she still possessed: lust.
As Celeste becomes more entrenched in Lucien's dark life of crime syndicates, damned contracts, and tempting cruelty, she must confront her worst nightmare:
What if she does not wish to flee?

His Innocent Obsession
I felt him before I saw him. The air shifted, heavy and electric, and then he was there - filling the doorway of my shop like he owned it. Like he owned me. His eyes dragged over me slowly, deliberately, until my skin burned. I told myself to look away, to breathe, to move - but my body betrayed me. Lucien stepped closer, the scent of smoke and danger clinging to him. He reached out, brushing a single petal from my shoulder, his fingers grazing my skin as if testing how easily I'd break. "You hide behind flowers," he murmured, voice low enough to curl around my spine. "But I see the truth. You're trembling for me." My lips parted, but no words came. My pulse thundered, my knees weak, and still I couldn't step back. He leaned in, his breath warm against my ear. "You don't know it yet, Dahlia," he whispered, "but you're already mine." Dahlia Hart lives a quiet life running her late father's flower shop a haven of color and calm in a world she keeps at arm's length. But one night changes everything. She witnesses a brutal crime, and in doing so, catches the attention of a man who doesn't tolerate witnesses. A man who doesn't let go. Lucien Moretti is cold, dominant, and untouchable a man who built his empire on control, fear, and precision. When he learns that the only person who saw what happened is the daughter of a man who once betrayed him, his interest turns personal. Dahlia is no longer just a threat. She's a loose end. A legacy. A possession waiting to be claimed. But Dahlia isn't as fragile as she seems. And Lucien, for all his cruelty, finds himself drawn to her innocence in ways he didn't expect. What begins as a hunt becomes something darker an obsession. One that blurs the line between protection and possession, desire and domination. This is my first book I hope you like it 🤗
A Hand in Hell
(Femmeslash!) Vera never expected to become the stuff of legend in this small town, but she relishes every moment of her fame. "Never go near red cars," the townsfolk will tell you -- and for good reason. She drives a red Viper, and once you go into it, you never come back. At least, that's how things were, how they had been for one glorious year. Now, with a demon coalition forming to take Vera down and the humans rising to do it themselves, her routine has become impossible to uphold and her current victim, Lauren Dexter, impossible to kill. Unfortunately for Lauren, once you fall into a demon's hands, it's nigh impossible to get out -- and once you fall in love with that demon, you never want to leave. And once that demon falls in love with you...well, you'll see. (Warnings: Femmeslash, gore, and possible graphic sex and torture abound. Don't read if such things bother you!)Concluida

Chasing Prey (A Duet)
(Trigger warning for those easily triggered. This is a dark romance that contains scenes of cnc, kinks, and more. If that is not something you would find yourself interested in. It may be best not to continue. If it is! PLEASE read. YOU WILL LOVE IT) Juliette thought she knew what safety felt like; late-night drives, whispered secrets with friends, the kind of innocence you don't realize is fragile until it shatters. But the night Silas laid eyes on her, that innocence became his favorite game to ruin. By day, Silas is a sharp-suited man with clean records. A man who moves information like a ghost. His job demands precision, secrets, and blood on his hands that no one ever sees. He has power, connections, and a network that bends to his will. But by night, all that control narrows down to one obsession: Juliette. Locked away in his world, she quickly learns that chains don't always rattle and cages aren't always made of steel. Sometimes they're silk sheets, whispered threats, and hands that roam where they shouldn't. Silas doesn't just want to own her body; he wants to unravel her mind, to make her crave the touch she swore she'd never welcome. Every kiss tastes like sin. Every order drags her deeper into his dangerous obsession. The man who should terrify her makes her tremble for all the wrong reasons, and the line between hate and hunger blurs until she can't tell the difference. She should fight him. She should run. But the longer she stays, the more Juliette wonders if escape is the last thing she truly wants. Because Silas isn't just her captor. He's the dark secret she's terrified to need.
Drain My Soul
- CONTENTS MATURE! 18+ scenes - Celeste believed nothing more than being a normal girl, in a normal street, in a normal world but nothing can just be normal? Right? Well this idea of a normal life, stops for Celeste and she goes back to her parents home town, where she is forced by law to a mating ball and is convinced she is something she is not.... But when she meets a blue eyed handsome man that is not who he seems, she is intrigued and is ready to explore. Follow Celeste on her journey to find out who she really is, discover the world she believes is insane and will these blue eyes help her? ------ "I effect you as much as you effect me and it pains me to see my mate with another" he whispers in my ear. I gulp deeply and I want to drop to my knees, to plead that my life is in his hands. Although I gulp and shake my head. "Fine, but I'll be there and I'll be watching!" He whispers in hush tones. I gulp and feel the pain again in my chest. His blue eyes come back to my own and I don't even give him a smirk. He lets go of my jaw and with in a flash I see him leave. The thought in my mind is that my mate is fucking hot and I don't know how long I can deny that for or deny the inseparable connection between us. ---- A/N Just a quick note to say that this book indeed does need heavy editing and as a Co-writer I find this story not in my favour. I know the main character Celeste may come across as mean and as a comment mentioned 'annoying' this book will go through editing. But I'd you choose to still read then fantastic! It's our first 'mate' and 'vampire' book so please be kind and all comments will be taken into consideration. Thank you L&R xConcluida
