A Sapphic Vampire Romance Mystery
Wren Bishop has nothing left.
No family. No home. No future. Just a contract signed in blood and a one-way trip to Saint Aradia's Academy - a towering gothic fortress where the elite vampires of the world train their human Companions.
Here, humans are taught to serve: to bleed, to obey, to survive. For two brutal years, they endure lessons in language, pain, and pleasure - all in hopes of being chosen. Because if they aren't? Labor. Enslavement. Death.
Wren expects cruelty. She expects power games and collar-leashes and cold marble halls that remember every scream. What she doesn't expect is Selene Vaara - the Headmistress's daughter. Untouchable. Unclaimed. And silent for over three centuries... until she sees Wren.
Their connection is instant. Electric. Dangerous. But nothing at Saint Aradia's is accidental - and the bond between them may be more than desire. It may be a curse. A secret. A threat to the power that holds the vampire world together.
As whispers rise, blood is spilled, and loyalties fracture, Wren must decide if her soul is worth the cost of being wanted.
And Selene must decide if she's willing to break the rules - or break Wren.
The Weight of Submission is a darkly romantic descent into obsession, power, and the kind of love that leaves a mark.

BETWEEN FIRE AND ICE
"A marriage forced by power. A love built by choice." Selene never believed in love - not after what it cost her family.

When a sudden corporate crisis threatens both their families' legacies, a cold, calculated decision is made: Lucien and Selene must marry to secure their futures and save the business. Bound by duty and distrust, they navigate a fragile alliance full of secrets, power plays, and simmering tension.

The Slowest Kind of Love 1: Flirt First, Fall later [EmiBonnie]
Flirt, tease, repeat... until they fall. A sapphic slowburn where a shameless flirt meets her match who have a guarded heart. And one kiss that flips their whole world around. Bonnie is bold, flirty, and allergic to subtlety. Emi is calm, composed, and way too good at pretending she doesn't care. Years after a long-buried university crush, they end up working together. What starts as harmless teasing turns into late nights, stolen glances, and one kiss that changes everything. Now neither of them can tell if they're falling apart or falling in love. The first arc in my The Slowest Kind of Love series. The stories are set in the same universe, all about sapphic slowburns, missed chances, and falling in love when you least expect it. 📌✦ Author's Rights Notice ✦ This story is an original work.

Anyone But Her
Wren and Kenna hated each other in high school. Now mature-ish adults, they still hate each other. The problem? They're engaged. A year away from marriage, according to two of the most powerful people in the world: their parents. ***** Wren Castile and Kenna Gold are engaged...because their parents say so (and no, they're not kidding). Wren has one year to marry her former nemesis, or else. The fact that Kenna emulated her infamously anti-gay father throughout high school seems to be irrelevant--even to Kenna herself. Suddenly Wren and the girl she never wanted to see again are on the same (bickering) side as they face mandatory dates, disastrous family get-togethers, and their unhappy past. Wren is filled with mistrust, but to protect her heart, she might just have to sit back and let it lead the way. Content/Trigger Warning: This story contains references to and/or scenes of homophobia, childhood trauma, bullying, violence, and suicide.

Bound by Fire
Rating: 18+/New Adult Primary Genre: Dark Romantasy / Psychological Thriller with Epic Fantasy Elements Subgenres/Elements: Character-Driven, Found Family, Psychological Manipulation, Dark Romance, Love Triangle, Elemental Magic, Elite Military Academy, Coming-of-Age, Trauma & Healing Reader discretion is strongly advised. This book explores the blurred lines between love and obsession, protection and control, redemption and corruption. The ending sets up significant psychological conflict that challenges traditional romance dynamics. Synopsis: Fire doesn't ask for permission, it consumes. Celeste never asked to be extraordinary. When fire wakes beneath her skin and destroys everything she's ever known, she's taken from the quiet streets of Lahbell to the Southern Condinian Elite Academy-a fortress built to shape elemental soldiers from the ashes of fear. Inside its steel walls, rules are absolute, emotions are weaknesses, and failure is erased. But Celeste doesn't burn quietly. Between secret missions, rivalries, and whispered betrayals, she begins to uncover the truth behind Condinia's power, and the reason her own flames refuse to obey. Then there's Andrew: the soldier forged from fire and control. And Mark: the kinetic fighter who meets chaos with a grin. Both draw her in for reasons she can't name, and both force her to decide what her power is truly for-destruction, or protection. As darkness rises beyond the borders and loyalty fractures within, Celeste must confront the thing she fears most: that the fire inside her was never meant to be contained. Bound by Fire is a cinematic romantasy about survival, trust, and the bonds that are tested in war-where found family burns brightest in the shadows. Content Warnings: Graphic combat, PTSD, grief, military violence, and slow-burn romantic tension. Reader discretion is advised.

Before You Replied
Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.
