Behind the towering shelves and stained-glass windows of the city's most gothic library, Elowen Hart hides her hunger. By day, she is the untouchable head librarian-sharp, orderly, untamed only by the flames of her red hair. By night, the walls close in with her secret craving: the forbidden books locked away in the restricted section... and the stranger who watches her as if he already knows her sins.
Alaric Thorn is danger wrapped in leather and shadows. Tattooed, commanding, a man who doesn't ask-he takes. When he finds Elowen whispering temptation into the pages she was never meant to touch, he presses her against the shelves and makes her confess her darkest desires. His name becomes the word she cannot stop gasping.

But daylight threatens everything-her career, her control, and the secret history that could shatter them both if it comes to light.
He is her forbidden book. She is the fire he never thought he'd deserve. Together, they'll burn the library down.
A gothic, smut-drenched romance filled with obsession, shame, surrender, and the kind of love that claws through the dark and refuses to let go

Falling for Forbidden
She was once the cherished daughter of a respected professor, but now, she is nothing more than a shadow in the city-poor, struggling, and alone. Whispers follow her wherever she goes. Beauty like hers, they say, is a curse for a girl without power. They assume she'll do anything for money. But she is fire, untamed and unbroken. The university, once her father's legacy, is now under the control of a powerful man-a man who watches her with a cruel smile, waiting for the moment she will break. He holds the strings to her fate, dragging her into a silent war where wealth and control always win. Then, he returns. The boy who once played by her side, the boy who vanished the night of the tragedy, is back-no longer a friend, no longer the boy she knew. Now, he stands at the front of the lecture hall, wearing the title of Professor. His cold, unreadable eyes lock onto hers. His touch lingers like a ghost from the past. He helps her in the shadows, yet she feels his presence in every downfall she faces. Does he still hold the warmth of their past, or has he returned only to watch her drown? As secrets unravel and desires ignite, she must decide-fight against the power that seeks to destroy her, or surrender to the darkness lurking within the man she once called her own.

Forgotten Truths
Skylar Green never believed her first year of university would change everything. Innocent, naive, but stubbornly down to earth, she only wanted to keep her head down, study hard, and avoid distractions. But then she meets Adrian Hart- Her brother's best friend. Adrian is everything Skylar swore she'd never fall for, especially because she already had a man in her life, Enzo. Tattooed, magnetic, and dangerous in ways she can't quite name, he hides arrogance behind a smirk and mystery behind those piercing green eyes. He's the kind of man who takes what he wants-and somehow, what he wants is her. Passion. Possessiveness. A pull she can't explain. Skylar quickly finds herself caught in Adrian's world, a world that feels thrilling and intoxicating... until it all comes crashing down. And then one truth shatters everything... A truth so devastating it sends her running into the storm. A truth she may never forgive. A truth that ends with screeching tires, shattered glass, and darkness. When she wakes, her memory is gone. But the secret remains. Who can she trust when everyone around her has something to hide? What is Adrian keeping buried behind that smoldering gaze? And when the forgotten truths finally come to light... will they ruin her, or set her free?
The Prince's Gamble
When Crown Prince Alaric of Eldoria is ordered to choose a bride to secure the line, the court arranges a spectacle of trials-tests of strength, statecraft, and worth-meant to end in a tidy alliance. What no one plans for is Prince Dorian of Caerthwyn, whose quiet courage, riverborn instincts, and inconvenient honesty turn duty into a dangerous question. As suitors circle and factions sharpen their smiles, a flood exposes rot in the city's ledgers, whispers harden into sabotage, and a coded threat rises on the tide. On the eve of vows, bells break the night and Eldoria burns. In the chaos that follows, Alaric, Dorian, and a warrior-consort candidate, Nyra Ashfall, must hold the line-one with law, one with water, one with steel-while grief and politics try to pull the kingdom apart. What begins as a prince's performance becomes a fight to redesign the future: succession rewritten in daylight, power made transparent, and love asked to be more than a secret. Allies become family, a city learns to cheer for truth over rumor, and a throne discovers it can be carried by two steady hands. The Prince's Gamble is a romantic fantasy of palace intrigue and public courage-a slow-burn, M/M royal romance with a true happily-ever-after, a fierce female ally who refuses to be anyone's obstacle, and a kingdom brave enough to choose the leaders who saved it. Duty starts the story. Love finishes it.Complete
