In a brutal competition where human women are stolen and forced to compete in a deadly game of capture, the prize is servitude-or an orc mate. Each woman is given a head start before the orcs hunt them, their fate sealed the moment they are caught.
Zyrah, a sharp-witted survivor with a deadly hand for knives, refuses to be anyone's prize. She's spent her life fighting for survival, and she won't stop now-not even against the monstrous brutes hunting her. But unknown to her, the orc king himself has entered the trials in disguise, determined to claim her before any other male can.
King Dakkar is ruthless, feared by all, and he has no patience for weakness. But when he sees Zyrah-wild, fierce, and untamed-something inside him shifts. He tells himself it's just a hunt. That she is just another conquest. But as she fights him at every turn, defies him even as he catches her, he realizes the truth: he doesn't just want her. He wants her to choose him.
But with enemies closing in, betrayal lurking in the shadows, and Zyrah's resistance growing stronger, Dakkar will have to prove he's more than just her captor.
He must be her mate.

Women's Chambers
In the ancient kingdom of Jalil Madu, silence holds more power than a sword. Behind the carved doors of the royal palace, whispers travel faster than truth, and every woman carries a secret that could unmake a king. When Zubayr, a cold, devout teacher and hidden prince, takes a student as his wife, the kingdom stirs. What began as punishment becomes something darker a bond, neither mercy nor distance can break. Jiddah, once naive and reckless, returns to the palace transformed graceful, dangerous, unreadable. Her husband returns to find the girl he knew replaced by a woman he can no longer control. In the women's chambers, alliances shift, envy breathes, and shadows listen. A crown is about to change hands. A death will silence one heir. And between Zubayr and Jiddah, love is not tender. It's a game of faith, fury, and quiet revenge. No one speaks openly in the Women's Chambers, but everyone is watching.
stolen by the enemy
Years after vanishing from Istanbul's underworld, Ferit Korhan returns with one mission-to destroy the two powerful families responsible for the murder of his older brother. For years, these families have ruled through alliances, wealth, and bloodshed... and Ferit intends to bring them to their knees from within. At the heart of their newest alliance is an arranged engagement between Seyran, a young woman trapped by duty, and Sinan, the heir to one of the families. She is not in love with him-only bound by an agreement forged long before her wishes ever mattered. Ferit sees an opportunity. His plan is simple: get close to Seyran, make her fall for him, sabotage the engagement, and ignite a war between the families. What he doesn't expect is Seyran herself-sharp-willed, restless, observant, and far stronger than the role she's been forced into. The more he pretends, the more real everything becomes, until Ferit finds himself falling madly, uncontrollably in love with the one woman who was meant to be his pawn. Now Ferit stands at the crossroads between the revenge he's lived for... and the woman who could ruin all of it-or save him from himself.

The Courtship
Torin Steele had his fair share of pickings when it came to women, but the Grand Council of Elders wouldn't soil the royal bloodline with a low born female. Or any who didn't obtain the same level of power. After years of searching in courts for his fated mate and coming out empty, the kingdom could not wait any longer for an heir. After many meetings and votes the decision was finally made from the Elders. Torin could pick any mateless female dragon, or one low stationed girl that had enough power in her veins to not make him look like a fool. Ridge Kaelith had made his life simple. Well, as simple as it could get. He told himself countless times he was just fine being the first bonded rider in history, and the first orc to ever leave their mountain villages let alone be Hand to the King. Torin and Ridge had grown up as brothers, but life in the capitol wasn't easy for an Orc. His own kind disowned him, and finding love was practically impossible. That stoicalness drifted when met by a feisty redheaded pirate who melted away the bitterness. Ridge's biggest problem? His brother already had his eyes on her, and even worse, he had to be her escort and guard. Aspen Leighson had lived a quiet life in her fishing village on the southern shore, until the royal guards came with two witches asking for all girls between the ages of 16-28 who were unmarried, to withstand tests by order of the King.

Kinsey absolutely hated his guts for ages, but during their trip to capture the dragon, Kinsey discovers a new side to him. Then there's Audrey, the fittest most charming, and most handsome of the dragon killers. Not only is he irresistible, he already likes her. Besides these two men, she gets kidnapped by the dragon she was supposed to kill. Suddenly, she's thrown into a whirlwind of confusion as she befriends her worst enemy and falls into a terribly conflicted love triangle, but through all of it, she believes the dragon is steering her right.Complete
The Orc's Consort I: Born of Blackwater
IMPORTANT: This manuscript is a rough draft - widely unedited. There may be grammar, spelling, and pacing issues. I've been working on this story since 2023 in my original manuscript and hope to one day publish the final, extended version. I could see him grinning out of the corner of my eye. He was enjoying this far too much. "Just do not ever scare me like that again, Jasper," I fussed. He winced as I moved the cloth across his ribs. "Or what?" he toyed. I stopped and glared at him, stammering, trying to think of something clever. "I-I'll... I don't know, but I'll think of something." Before I knew it, Jasper had his arm around my waist and pulled me into the tub with a splash. "Jasper," I gasped. In a world where humans and orcs have been at war for centuries, 22-year-old Lady Brenna of Blackwater Hold is sent to the Northern Orruk Horde - an unheard-of act. Her father, King Corvus, pledged her to the chief, Jasper Bloodborne, to save his own life. Were these orcs the beasts her father taught her to fear? She soon learns how wrong she was - and that her time in the Northern Orruk Mountains will change everything she thought she knew about loyalty, courage, and desire. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story contains sexual content, mentions of SA, miscarriage, abortion, violence, and gore.

𝘼 𝙂𝙤𝙙. 𝘼 𝙉𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙁𝙪𝙧𝙮. 𝘼 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙠. Months after defeating the Red Death, Eloah has claimed her place as the rightful Queen of Dragons, with the hidden island of Berk as her new domain. But ruling isn't as simple as defeating tyrants-it's about building something that lasts. As she navigates the complexities of leadership alongside her unlikely partner Toothless, the fledgling alliance between dragons and Vikings faces its greatest test. Not everyone believes in peace. Not every dragon accepts a god as their queen. And not every Viking is ready to forgive centuries of bloodshed. When dragon hunters arrive on Berk's shores, when rogue dragons challenge Eloah's authority, and when ancient enemies resurface seeking revenge, the god-queen must prove she's more than just raw power and atomic fire. She must become what her people need-a true leader, a defender, a beacon of hope in a world still learning to trust. But the greatest challenge might be the one she never expected: learning to let someone in. As Eloah and Toothless navigate their courtship-two beings from different worlds trying to build something neither fully understands-they'll discover that loving someone means being vulnerable. And for a god who's lost an eye and nearly her life, vulnerability might be the most terrifying battle of all. The war with the Red Death is over. The real work is just beginning. Dragons: Of Kings and Queens - where divine power meets mortal heart, and two souls discover that sometimes the strongest bonds are forged not in fire, but in trust. Book 2 in the Elpoah Chronicles
