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.

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 🤗

Hold Me Gently, Love Me Fiercely
What begins as obsession... becomes something deeper. Rose is beautiful, brilliant, and in control-until she falls for Lucien Vale, a man whose love for her burns with terrifying intensity. He watches her like she's the only light in a ruined world. He protects, he follows, he clings. But Rose, calm and composed, doesn't run. She tries to understand him. Heal him. Teach him that real love isn't about possession-it's about choice. Together, they spiral through misunderstandings, jealousy, silent fights, and stormy reunions. But in time, Lucien grows-and Rose begins to fall, truly and deeply. What follows is a life neither of them expected: A quiet house. A shared bed. Children who steal their time and hearts. And through all the chaos-diaper disasters, toddler sword fights, and late-night whispers-they remember why they fell in love in the first place. Messy. Raw. Hilarious. And deeply human. This is not just a love story. It's a story about earning love-and holding it gently, without fear.Complete
Of Ruin And Ravenous Things ✓
Death chose Seraphine Valen long before she ever had the chance to choose herself. At eighteen, she stands ankle-deep in the aftermath of a life erased-everyone she has ever loved reduced to silence and ruin around her. From that blood-soaked silence, she rises carrying something no mortal was ever meant to inherit: dominion over death itself. One touch ends a life. One thought bends annihilation to her will. And deep inside her, something dark has finally awakened... and it is starving. Her power does not go unnoticed. The Banes come first-nightmare-born creatures drawn to her like vultures to a dying world, desperate to claim the weapon she has become. As civilization fractures and reality begins to rot at the edges, Seraphine is forced to flee into something far worse than the world she left behind. Death's Castle. An ancient, shifting labyrinth where the walls remember every soul that has ever screamed within them. There, in the cold shadow of eternity, she finds she is not alone. A diviner who reads fate as it unravels thread by thread. A war-vampire, addicted to bloodshed as much as battle. And a brute whose silence hides a loyalty strong enough to crack bone. Together, they form an uneasy alliance-bound not by trust, but by survival. But Seraphine's awakening is only the beginning. As buried truths about her bloodline rise to the surface, she discovers a legacy stitched from both darkness and light-something older than kingdoms, older than gods, older even than death itself. And in the void beyond all things... something has been waiting for her.Complete
