His FireLily - (Shadowed Secrets #2)
Carissa Belfiore's mission was simple; hunt down the man terrorising her city and burn his syndicate's web of deceptions to the ground. The catch though? She must work together with the devil in disguise. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 Four months after the trail went dark, Cara and her team gain a second chance at retribution, at tracking down the man responsible for the mysterious chain of disappearances plaguing the streets of her town. Retribution, though, comes at a cost. Missing people and stolen identities unsolved, Cara's boss presents to her with a new ultimatum. She must pursue this mission with Asrea's top (infuriating) agent or lose the rights to the case. With no other choice, Cara must learn to thread the thin line of peace with the devil disguised as a federal agent, one who has little belief in patience and even less so for mistakes. Much like everything else though, it was easier said than done. As the two of them begin to dismantle the empire brick by brick, Cara finds herself pulling at loose strings tying the pieces of the missing puzzles connecting her past to her present. Strings, she soon realises, had been buried by the hands of someone desperately trying to keep her from finding out the truth. A truth that might just break her. No retrogrades, no reversals, and no unknowing the known. If only she could've done it alone, for even the devil must be paid his dues. The devil whose icy, blue eyes never fail to see through every shield and every shadow she'd built around her heart, the very shadows that seem to calm within his presence. The man whose icy rage threatens to thaw her blazing heart. 𐀔𐀔𐀔 First Draft Completed on 12/1/2025 Completed on 12/3/2025Complete
The Witch and The Rogue
Astra has always believed strength meant power, the kind she never had as an orphan witch. Clawing her way to magical prowess through self-study and sheer will, she dreams of becoming a heroic adventurer in the gritty city of Vallentis. But when she intervenes in a street fight to save V, a time-lost fairy rogue from the Feywild, radiating chaotic evil and a death wish, she unleashes a force that shatters her illusions of good and evil. V, an ancient martial artist stripped of purpose, challenges Astra's ideals with his cynical survivalism: he kills without hesitation or remorse, and lives free of desire, haunted by centuries of loss. Yet his unflinching devotion and affection awaken Astra's raw passion and need for connection, forging a transformative bond that pulls them into an intimate war of love and death.Complete

"It began with a lie so beautiful it almost sounded like the truth." In a kingdom divided by seven circles, each marked by mythic beasts and brutal class lines, Astraea is no ordinary orphan.

That was their first mistake. With a smile as sharp as her secrets, Astraea weaves her way into the heart of the crown, charming Prince Theodore and earning the sympathy of Queen Caroline and King Derek. But behind her soft-spoken lies is a storm waiting to strike. The royal family cast her father out and destroyed the life she might've had-now, she plans to take everything from them, starting with the throne. But the palace is a place of old power and sharper eyes. When Astraea's first move lands her in chains, her plan seems shattered-until she realizes her most dangerous weapon has always been the one thing they'll never see coming: her. Revenge is a crown best taken cold.Complete

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
