In the quiet village of Silvergrove, Emily lives a peaceful life collecting herbs, healing creatures, and sharing a small cottage with her best friend Tania-a sharp-tongued forest witch with a heart of gold (hidden very deep).
But everything changes the day a wounded dragon crashes into the woods.
Days later, Elise arrives-an ex-soldier with scorched hands, a bitter temper, and a haunted past. She's not alone: her shape-shifter brother, David, watches her back like a shadow. And the dragon? It was once bonded to Elise... before the war ripped them apart.
Emily wants to help. Elise wants to forget. The dragon just wants to survive. And Tania? She's ready to hex anyone who messes with her home.
As the dragon heals, tension grows, sparks fly, and the warmth of the hearth might just melt more than old pain.

The Price of Innocence
"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister.

Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.Complete

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

Through the Veil (The Starweaver's Loom)
Annabel Stewart has always lived with shadows. Raised by her grandfather after the mysterious death of her parents, she has carried a loneliness she can't name and a hunger for connection that her art has never been able to fill. On the night of her long-awaited gallery debut, her world unravels. Her work is torn apart by critics, and the boyfriend she thought she could lean on betrays her in the cruelest way. Broken and adrift, Annabel retreats to Scotland, where she unexpectedly inherits her family's ancestral cottage. But the cottage is no ordinary home. Standing at the edge of the wildwood, it hums with forgotten magic and whispers of a legacy long buried. As Annabel digs through her mother's old journals, she discovers that her bloodline once stood at the heart of a fragile peace, three powerful witches who balanced the realm of mortals and fae. A balance shattered the night her family was murdered. Among the ruins of that lost world, Annabel encounters Nick, a gruff fae whose piercing blue eyes and guarded heart conceal secrets of his own. Drawn to him against her better judgment, she begins to sense that their fates are tangled far more deeply than she realizes. But in the shadows, an old enemy stirs. The Loom trembles, the Courts are restless, and the veil between realms grows thin. Annabel must choose: embrace the legacy that terrifies her or watch both worlds collapse into ruin.
A Dragon's Legacy
A thousand years ago, before the realms as we know them existed, there was only one land-Ardelia. A world where magic flowed freely, and its inhabitants lived together in an uneasy harmony. The dragon shifters ruled the skies, admired for their strength and wisdom. But envy brewed among other shifters, and rivalries soon escalated into a full-scale war. Born into an era of peace, Skye never felt at home. Raised in an orphanage among emotionless scientists, her wild temper and violet eyes set her apart. People avoided her, whispering about her strange appearance, while she was constantly told to suppress her true nature. No matter how hard she tried to blend in, Skye always felt like an outsider-and she hated it. Join Skye as she navigates a world that demands conformity, grapples with her own powers, and uncovers secrets that could change everything she thought she knew about herself.

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.

Shadows of the Heart
He was born royalty a tri-breed prince, the first of his kind. She was just a human girl with fire in her heart and no idea the supernatural world even existed. But the moment he found her, the bond snapped into place; wild, forbidden, and far too early. She couldn't remember. He could never forget. He watched from the shadows, hungered in silence, torn between the duty of a king and the pull of a mate the universe marked for him. She grew up not knowing he'd already chosen her. But the heat between them only smoldered, scorching beneath every stolen glance, every gift left without a name, every moment she didn't understand and every one he couldn't stop himself from creating. Because some bonds don't wait. And love like theirs? It burns before it blooms.
