Blood Descent
A witch with dormant powers. A vampyr imprisoned for centuries. A destiny that could save or doom them both. Viola never meant to awaken him. One accidental spell, and she unleashes Matic-an exiled half-demon vampyr with eyes like winter's edge and a voice that drips temptation and damnation. He's not just a creature of the night-he's centuries of rage wrapped in lust, betrayal, and something far more dangerous: purpose. Now marked by fate and hunted by those who fear Matic's return, Viola finds herself tethered to the one being whose very presence makes her skin burn with warning-and want. Because Matic doesn't just promise protection. He offers oblivion. As Samhain nears and the veil between realms thins, ancient blood rites begin to stir. Devoted worshippers rise to complete broken rituals, shadows hunger for their master's return-and Viola begins to unravel, drawn deeper into the magnetic pull of a monster who doesn't just haunt her... he claims her. And when truths buried in ash rise from the grave, Viola must face the one question that could shatter her: Is the real danger the demon beside her... or the darkness awakening within her? Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, Reincarnation, Villainous Crush, Magical Dependency

Crown of Wolves
When Lucia Saintclair is married off to the alpha of the Northern Pack, she expects politics, not passion, and certainly not the man who laughs at the rules she was raised to obey. *** Lucia Saintclair was born to serve the Accord. The daughter of a powerful Averon family and the last descendant of the Saintclair Hunters, she was raised to smile for the cameras, to speak with diplomacy, and to remember that peace depends on her silence. Her arranged marriage to Brandon Cross, the magnetic and unpredictable alpha of the North, is meant to prove that wolves and humans can finally coexist. But the North is not what she was promised, and neither is he. Crossmoor is a world of stone halls and restless forests, far from the order she has always known. Its people watch her with suspicion. Its alpha meets her grace with laughter, her restraint with provocation. Brandon Cross is everything Averon warned her about. Commanding, reckless, impossible to ignore. He treats their marriage like a game, laughs through meetings meant to contain him, and hides a loyalty fierce enough to break them both. As unrest deepens and old hatreds return, Lucia and Brandon must decide what they are willing to protect: the world that shaped them, or the love that could undo it. Contains mature themes, including violence and sexually explicit scenes. This story depicts power, loyalty and desire within a tense and divided world. Recommended for adult readers.

Ravaged in Love
[#2 ~ The Rajvansh Family] Jiya Rajvansh doesn't believe in feelings. Cold, composed, and ruthlessly self-contained, she's built her life on silence and self-preservation.

Their paths collide in blood and consequence, and nothing about it is neat. He wants answers; she wants distance. But there's something about her darkness that calls to him, and something about his goodness that terrifies her. He sees right and wrong. She lives in everything in between.

The night the kingdom of Elaria burned, the stars hid behind smoke and sorrow. Princess Isabella watched flames devour the world she had always known-her home, her people, her family. The roar of battle drowned the lullabies of her childhood, and the clash of steel stole away the innocence she had once carried like a fragile crown. And at the heart of the chaos stood Adrian.

And though she did not know it then, destiny would one day bring her face to face with the man who had destroyed her life.
