Crimson Veil
The wedding was just the beginning.

Dragged into a forced engagement, she becomes a pawn in a court of veils, ancient prophecies, and burning secrets. Haunted by visions of a future she cannot escape - one where her body yields to the very man who conquered her world - Meira must decide if she will break... or remake the empire from within.
He wants her loyalty.
She wants his blood.
And the Veil watches them both.
A dark, gothic fantasy laced with sensual tension, power plays, and spiritual warfare - Crimson Veil is a slow-burn psychological battle between a cursed bride and the man determined to own her soul.

THE EXPERIMENT ROOM
This was never just an experiment. This was obsession. Yara Veil is broke, desperate, and numb-until she signs a contract that will change her forever. She becomes Subject YV in a neurological experiment designed to control the pleasure center of the brain. The lab is cold. The machines are precise. And Dr. Adrian Roth?

What begins as data collection becomes something far more dangerous. Because now... neither of them wants to stop. ⚠️ Dark romance. Psychological thriller. Intense power play, emotional dependency, and forbidden desire. Reader discretion is advised.Kumpleto
The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Kumpleto
