BOOK ONE OF THE HOUSE OF GOLDEN BLOOD SERIES
The Weight of Skin by Carmen Rodriguez
Elara Moreau returns home for the first time in six years to bury the only woman who ever raised her. But the house she left behind-weather-beaten, vine-choked, and brimming with silence-hasn't forgotten her. And neither has the family she left behind.
Tension festers between Elara and her family, the kind forged by unspoken grief and truths buried beneath years of distance. Her return awakens more than just old memories: whispers trail the hallways, shadows shift in her periphery, and the house itself seems to breathe beneath her skin.
As Elara digs into the fragments of her past, a darker legacy begins to unravel-one tied to blood, sacrifice, and power. The truth of who she is was never buried. It was waiting.
And now, it wants to rise.

SUCK
I'm a vampire allergic to blood, and they say vampires are immortal. They fucking lied. A stake to the heart? Cute. The truth is blood-our own. Feeding on vampires keeps you eternal. Fall in love with a mortal (with them loving you back) and immortality unravels-first your fangs, then your power, then your life. For me, Auren Vale, that sounds like salvation. Two hundred years is too long to suffer when every drop of blood burns like fire. I'm ready to end it all. Then I meet Sienna Moren-the girl whose blood feels like poison and paradise. Loving her could kill me. Protecting her could destroy us all. And I've never wanted anything more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠤⣄⡴⠚⠛⢶⡋⠁⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⢦⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠴⠶⢶⣏⠀⠀⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠙⢦⠀⠀⠘⢧⠀⠈⢷⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠙⢧⡀⠀⠀⠘⣧⠀⣀⣼⠧⡤⠴⠻⢦⡀⠸⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣠⠟⠙⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢷⠶⠶⠚⠉⠉⠉⠀⢰⠇⠀⠀⡼⠙⢦⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⣼⠃⠀⣠⠟⣹⠶⣄⡀⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡟⠀⠀⡼⠁⣤⣄⠁⠀⠀ ⢰⠇⠀⣸⠃⡴⠃⠀⠈⠛⣦⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣆⡀⠘⠳⣤⣸⡌⢳⡄⠀ ⣼⠀⢀⡟⢰⠇⠀⠀⢤⡀⠙⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢷⡄⠀⠉⢻⡇⠈⢷⡀ ⣿⠀⢼⠃⡟⠀⠀⠀⢸⠙⢦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣆⢀⣼⠧⣄⠈⣇ ⢿⠀⠘⢦⡙⠳⣤⣀⣼⠀⠈⣧⠀⣀⡀⢀⣠⣤⣤⡶⠛⠛⢻⠀⠀⣿⠀⢻ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⠶⣤⠉Concluida
Aurelia
She was supposed to break. Instead, she became the sharpest blade. She used to dream of soft hands and warm voices. Instead, she learned to mend broken ribs and silence her own screams. They called her a burden. She became a weapon. Now Aurelia walks through her memories barefoot - bleeding, stubborn, alive - refusing to let the past decide how her story ends. **Book 2 of the Hunt Series. (Standalone.)**Concluida
White Lies
"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars. But when her parents are declared dead and the world turns against her found family, she realizes survival is no longer enough, she needs to fight. Raised as assassins, her adoptive brothers have spent years keeping her in the dark, but now? Now, she's in the center of the storm. Wanted by the government. Hunted by the man who created her. And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.Concluida

Virelight Trilogy - Book Two - Of Broken Fear and Buried Love
The shards are calling. And this time, the stakes are deeper than secrets. Elara and her (mostly) loyal companions set off to find the next two shards: one born of Fear, the other of Love. Simple, right? The Shard of Fear lies hidden in the heart of Mirrorwood-a haunted forest known for its vanishing paths, echoing illusions, and tendency to snack on unwelcome visitors. And the Shard of Love? That one's buried somewhere far more personal: Elara's childhood home. With Rowan growing quieter, Valen growing bolder, and a mysterious mimic lurking just out of sight, the road ahead twists with riddles, half-truths, and ancient magic better left forgotten. As the line between friend and foe begins to blur, Elara must confront what frightens her most... and what she's still willing to love. Heartfelt, humorous, and brimming with fantasy, Book Two of the Virelight Trilogy dives deeper into the threads that bind us-through fear, through love, and through the wild, weird wonder of it all. Because sometimes, the greatest magic is facing what's inside. Copyright ©️Concluida

Forbidden Bonds
In a world where family loyalty is everything, love can be the greatest rebellion. He is Adrian, the 27-year-old eldest son of a wealthy, traditional family, raised to uphold honor and responsibility above all else. She is Elara, the 22-year-old youngest daughter of a family long at odds with his own-a spirited, headstrong young woman who refuses to be controlled. Their first meeting is a collision of worlds: a chance encounter at a family event sparks rivalry, teasing, and undeniable attraction. Yet their growing feelings are forbidden, threatened by long-standing family grudges, secrets, and misunderstandings. As Adrian and Elara are forced together by circumstance, their bickering slowly turns into something deeper-trust, longing, and a love neither dared to imagine. But will their hearts survive the pressure of feuding families and hidden pasts, or will the bonds that tie them to their families tear them apart forever? A story of love, defiance, and the courage to fight for what the heart truly desires.
