A dark fantasy romance of divine obsession, brutal worship, and becoming the end.
She came to the forgotten manor to escape her past - not summon a god.
But when Seraphine paints the eyes of a stranger she's never met, he appears at her door.
Lucien: powerful, shadowborn, and bound to her through the mark she unknowingly gave him. He says she created him. That her blood remembers forgotten thrones and ruined gods. That he would burn the stars just to taste her again.
Their passion sparks a gate that cannot be closed - unleashing buried realms, courts that worship ruin, and a prophecy written in ecstasy and ash.
Now, Seraphine must choose: be the hunted girl who ran from love...
Or become the Queen who makes the heavens kneel.
He is her monster.
She is his altar.
And together?
They end the world - just to begin it again.

Song of the Seraph - A Dark Fallen Angel Paranormal Romance
I never asked for this. I never asked to be drawn to him, a man with the weight of centuries on his shoulders and the darkness of the world in his eyes. But now that I've found him... I can't let go. Lily's life has been nothing short of a struggle-until the night she stumbles onto Seraphiel's doorstep, drawn by a force she can't understand. He's a stranger, but something about him feels like home, like a missing piece of her soul. The more time she spends with him, the more she realizes he's no ordinary man. He's an angel-battle-worn and broken-and she's the reincarnation of someone he once loved. A love bound to a prophecy that threatens both their lives. As the connection between them deepens, so does the tension-an attraction that pulls them closer with every stolen touch, every lingering glance. The sparks between them could ignite something far darker than either of them imagined, something that may cost them their lives-or their hearts. "I don't know if I'm strong enough for this," Lily whispers, her breath hot against his skin. "But I'm willing to find out." As forces from Heaven and Hell close in, Lily must decide: Is the love she feels for him a gift... or a curse that will destroy them both? Can their love survive the darkness? Or will the prophecy tear them apart before they can claim each other completely?Complete

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."
