Lucien Vale has never tasted anything-not sweetness, not spice, not even salt.
Every bite feels like sand, every meal a reminder that his world is dull, lifeless, and cold.
Doctors call it a rare condition.
He calls it a curse.
A single bite.
One dish.
Her cooking.
For the first time, flavor rushes over him like a forgotten dream-and it only happens when she is the one behind the stove.
As Lucien returns for more, he begins to crave more than the food.
He's drawn to her warmth, her laughter, her presence.
She's color in his gray world.
She's taste in a life that's been numb for so long.
But the more he begins to savor her, the more he fears:
what if she's the only flavor his heart will ever recognize?

My Sweet Superchef
There are relationships with no special labels though you share a special bond. When you two are together, there is magic and there is connection. Everything about you two are in sync. You share the same interests. Sometimes you think alike. You enjoy doing most things together. You laugh, smile, giggle, frown, pout and raise eyebrows on funny and crazy stuff. You do crazy things together and are crazy about each other. This is the kind of relationship where Lucien and I are in. In other words, we do stuff what boyfriends/girlfriends do. We go out, date, drink, wine and dine, chill, hang out, etc. Call it friends with benefits? Hmm.. maybe not. It's more than that. He loves me. I love him. No doubt about that. It is unspoken but like what the expression says, "Actions speak louder than words." Is it complicated? Hell yeah but ironically, it makes it less complicated. No fights. No headaches. No stress. No LQs.Complete

''Let me taste you'' He leans forward and whispers in my ear. His voice is low like a gravelly hum. Oh God, what have I gotten myself into? He leans back and looks deep into my eyes. "Uh, um..." my brain is overwhelmed with the scent of his cologne and the hard feel of his body. I bite my lip trying to concentrate, "Th-thank you, but, um, I'm here to work..." "Are you a bite virgin, young one? There's no need to be afraid I'll make it pleasurable for you." His eyes rake my face looking for any sign I will agree, "I bet you taste as sweet as you look" ***** Alexis is simply trying to survive the rigors of completing a Ph.D. Only finding funding to research vampires, she must overcome her reservations and dive into their dark world.

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
The Crimson Claim
In a city drowned in fog and shadows, Lucien has walked the centuries in silence, feeding without care, leaving no ties behind. Immortality has made him cold, careful, untouchable-until the night he meets her. She is a mortal girl with haunted eyes and a sketchbook full of secrets. One look is enough to unravel his restraint. Drawn to her in a way he cannot explain-or resist-Lucien begins to linger, to claim, to protect. His hunger is no longer for blood alone, but for the girl herself. Yet fascination is a dangerous thing. As she finds herself pulled into his world, her fear begins to blur into desire. Against her better judgment, she craves his presence, even as she feels the shadow of his possession tightening around her. Their bond is intoxicating, impossible, and inevitable. But in the dark, love and danger are indistinguishable-and surrendering to him might mean giving up more than her heart. The Crimson Claim is a gothic romance of hunger, obsession, and the terrifying beauty of belonging to a creature who will never let you go.
Love Me Not (ONC 2025)
By a chance encounter, Lucien meets his true love, his fated. In his world, vampires and humans reside together mostly without conflict. There is a mutual understanding. Vampires need blood and humans supply it willingly in trade. Throw into the mix, Jocelyn, a sweet-smelling girl with a personality and attitude that blazes just as red as her hair. Jocelyn is visiting from a land unsettled, as of yet, by vampires where humans are still the hunters. She has only ever known disdain for Lucien's kind. Can Lucien change Jocelyn's mind before time runs out? Excerpt..... I stood up, leaned across the table, on my palms, smiled cooly, and said, "I'm not allowed to call you dinner." Her eyes widened, and she dropped her glass. The glass clanked against her dinner plate and crumbled. She immediately looked down at it and frantically started picking up the pieces. "Leave it for a servant," I sniped at her. Reginald, our head waiter, promptly appeared at her side and started picking up shards. Our servants were specially trained on how to clean up messes without having bloody accidents. She looked up at me with a renewed sense of hostility. "I will do it myself!" Reginald didn't move. He is trained to insist. "Please, Miss?" he asked quietly. He took hold of the piece of glass in her hand and pulled. She squeaked in pain and held her hand up in front of her face. It was in plain view so that everyone could see. Her finger had been sliced open. The sweet smell got so strong that it was almost irresistible. Prompt number: 11. Vampires are bound by an ancient destiny: their soulmate is always human, and this bond is governed by three rules. The smell of their soulmate's blood is irresistible, its taste is sweeter than anything else, and if the love is unrequited, it can be fatal. Fearing this inevitable bond, most vampires try to avoid it. But what happens when one of them discovers that their soulmate is a human who not only rejects them but loathes them?Complete
Crimson Devotion
WLW DARK SPICY ROMANCE I should've ignored her the moment our eyes met. Instead, I let her pull me in - all soft smiles hiding sharp teeth. She knows things about me no one should know. She calls it love. I call it haunting. Everywhere I go, she's already been. Every choice I make, she's already planned. And when I try to leave, she only laughs and asks why I'd ever want a world without her in it. She's not ruining my life. She's replacing it - piece by piece, heartbeat by heartbeat. She says she kills for a reason - that every drop of blood is a prayer for the forgotten. I should be terrified of her. I am terrified of her. But when she looks at me like I'm the only soft thing left in a world full of monsters-like she sees a masterpiece instead of exhaustion-I forget to breathe. I forget to run. Her love is not gentle. It's sharp and suffocating, stitched together with unspoken scars she'd never outrun. And now it's wrapping itself around my bones, whispering that I'm the reason she's still alive - and the reason she'll never stop. They say obsession destroys. But she's not trying to ruin me. She's trying to remake me. And the worst part? Somewhere deep inside, I think I want her to.
