Selene Navarro has spent years stitching broken bodies in the operating room, but nothing could mend the scars left by her own shattered marriage. An annulment freed her, but it also locked her heart in chains she swore never to break again.
Adrian Monteverde built an empire, but no amount of wealth could shield him from betrayal. Abandoned by his wife, he is left with two children and a silence he hides beneath boardrooms and business deals.
When Selene and Adrian's paths cross in the most unexpected way, their guarded lives begin to unravel. A single moment of care sparks questions neither of them are ready to face. Can love bloom in the ruins of trust? Or will the shadows of yesterday smother the light of a new beginning?
In the ashes of their pasts, dawn awaits-if they are brave enough to reach for it.

Crown of Shadows
In Tenebris, love is a weapon - and the most beautiful promises are the ones designed to break you. Lady Selene of House Auclair has spent her life in silence, haunted by a bloodline the Empire wants forgotten. Her betrothal to Prince Reverien Latimer is not mercy. It is a warning. The court calls it peace. But beneath the marble floors and moonlit halls, everyone knows this union was forged with ulterior motives - power, punishment, and something far darker. The Imperial Court is a nest of predators draped in silk. Smiles hide sharpened teeth. Secrets bleed through the walls. And Selene, the quiet noblewoman they dismissed, is far more dangerous than they realized. Her fiancé is no exception. Reverien is a man carved from discipline and shadows - a prince with cold hands, a colder reputation, and loyalties bound in blood. Yet he is drawn to Selene in ways neither of them can afford. Their bond is not gentle. It is a slow-burning collision of defiance, desire, and unspoken hunger - a partnership that could save an empire... or shatter it from within. As whispers sharpen into threats and forbidden longing coils between them, Selene must decide which is more perilous: the danger stalking the court... or the prince who shares her bed. Because in Tenebris, a single kiss can crown you - or condemn you.

Two Moons
For centuries, the House of Viridelle has borne the gift-and curse-of Sight. Selene Viridelle, the last of her line, carries more than visions in her blood; she carries the weight of an ancient prophecy foretelling that a child would shape the fate of kingdoms. Now, the prophecy seems to be at last coming to pass... and not in the way she hoped. Forced into an arranged marriage to King Zahir of Qamara, Selene faces a gilded cage. The king seeks not love, but power-wishing for his heirs to inherit her magic and bind it forever to his throne. As a week-long celebration leads up to the wedding, whispers of rebellion and water shortages stir unrest among Qamara's people, threatening to spill into the surrounding kingdoms. When Selene's visions turn dark, revealing that staying in Qamara means death, she seizes her chance for escape-falling in with a secretive band investigating the kingdom's water crisis. Among them is a brilliant but guarded engineer, Renric, whose haunted eyes hide royal blood long thought lost... and Darian, his charismatic, ruthless companion whose loyalty conceals dangerous ambition. The two men share a bond forged in war and secrets-but one that fractures under Selene's presence, unraveling into betrayal and hidden rivalries. Every secret revealed brings Selene closer to the truth-and to a love that could rewrite the destiny carved in her blood. But in a land of lies and legacy, even love may not survive the coming storm. ***TRIGGER WARNINGS: Abuse, emotional manipulation, domestic violence, toxic relationships, drug and alcohol use, eating disorders, murder, and light mention of self-harm and suicide ideation.***

Queen of Bargains: Monsters Under the Mountain
Selene was never meant to be part of this world. She had once been a medical student, living an ordinary life filled with textbooks, late-night study sessions, and the quiet certainty that magic was nothing more than fiction. Then, she woke up in a world ruled by monsters. For twenty-five years, she has survived on the outskirts of a human village, healing where she can, hiding where she must. She knows little of the High Fae, their courts, or their treacherous games. She knows only whispers-of a wicked queen named Amarantha, of a war that shattered kingdoms, of a High Lord with violet eyes and a smirk sharper than a blade. But when a raid on her village drags her Under the Mountain, Selene is thrust into a world of cruelty and deceit. Powerless and human, she should have been nothing more than another disposable servant. Instead, she catches the eye of Rhysand, Amarantha's right hand. To the world, he is a monster. A traitor. A willing pet in the queen's twisted court. But Selene has seen him at his most powerful. And now, she has seen him at his most broken. Forced into servitude, trapped in a palace where humans do not last long, Selene must navigate the deadly politics of a court built on suffering. But as she uncovers the truth hidden beneath Rhysand's carefully crafted mask, she begins to question everything she thought she knew-about this world, about him, and about the war that looms on the horizon. Because it was not fate brought her here. She was the obstacle to his fate. And fate is watching. all rights reserved to the original authorConcluida

Slowly, amidst mango blossoms and hushed letters tucked into old books, the cracks begin to heal. But Isla's healing doesn't just belong to her. It's tangled in the stories of the women before her, the wounds that run in bloodlines, and the love she thought she lost forever.Concluida

Love Me Hard
💬 POV - Selene Virella He flinches when I touch him. Not from fear-no, Adrian isn't afraid of me, and that makes him dangerous. He flinches because he wants it. He wants me. I can smell it in the sweat at his collar, see it in the way his throat works when I step closer. That little gasp when I tilt his chin up? That's the sound I'll chase tonight. I've broken men bigger than him. Stronger. But Adrian... he's soft, fragile-looking, and somehow, I want to cradle him while I destroy him. I could bite him now. Drink him dry. Or kiss him until he forgets his own name. Either way... He'll be mine. --- 💬 POV - Adrian Vale She scares the hell out of me. But it's not the knives or the vampire eyes or the way she can kill a man without blinking. It's how she looks at me. Like I'm already naked. Like she knows the part of me that wants to kneel-wants to obey. I hate that I want her to take control. I hate that I want her to hurt me a little just to prove I can survive her. But mostly... I hate that when she whispers my name, soft and dark like a secret- I'd give her anything. ~~~ Selene moves like a loaded gun - precise, deadly, and made for war. She doesn't fall. She takes. She doesn't love. She marks and moves on. A vampire mercenary with a past soaked in blood and secrets, she's used to commanding rooms and breaking men. Pain is her power. Control is her drug. Then there's him. Adrian Vale, the hacker she's forced to work with, is all soft lips, oversized hoodies, and that wide-eyed look that makes her fingers twitch. He's a walking contradiction - brilliant and awkward, sweet but sinful, trembling under her touch yet burning with a fire she didn't see coming. He submits like a prayer, and it wrecks her. But Adrian isn't just some shy coder-he's got shadows of his own, wounds he doesn't show, and a wild streak hidden beneath his pretty mouth. What starts as manipulation turns into obsession. What starts as fake becomes filthy, then too f**king real. Love Me Hard

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

She's ready to sacrifice her comfortable and reserved life just to be with him. But he didn't want her to break apart.

And he swore he'll win her over.
