More Than a Deal
Sienna Carter had her life planned out-a quiet job as a librarian, a cozy apartment, and a loving boyfriend, Ethan, who talked about marriage and a future filled with stability. She was content, safe, and far removed from the world of crime and violence. But everything shatters when her father-a struggling businessman-falls into massive debt with the Romano crime family. With no way to pay, the debt collectors don't take money; they take loyalty. The solution? A contract marriage between Sienna and the powerful, ruthless mafia boss, Dante Romano. Dante has built his empire on control and strategy. This marriage isn't about love-it's about power, influence, and making sure his enemies know that loyalty to him comes before all else. He expects obedience, not defiance. But Sienna is unlike anyone he's ever met. She refuses to bow to his world, to the dark underbelly of crime she's been forced into. And, most of all, she refuses to forget Ethan-the man she was supposed to spend forever with. At first, Sienna resents Dante, clinging to memories of the life she lost. But as time passes, the lines blur. She starts to see beyond the ruthless exterior-the man who reads poetry in secret, who carries the weight of an empire on his shoulders, and who, despite his power, seems just as trapped as she is. Ethan fights to get her back, but the more she learns about Dante, the harder it becomes to ignore the unexpected pull between them. Is her heart betraying her? Or was love never as simple as she once believed? In a world where love is a liability and loyalty is life or death, Sienna must choose: Hold on to the man who once promised her forever or risk everything for the one she never expected to love.
Blossom
A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

Ezra will, quite literally, be the death of him. *** Ezra and Silas have been inseparable their entire lives, for better or worse.

Scared to Love you (A Soap Opera Situation)
Stella Kiefling thought her life was ordinary enough to survive quietly. A wife trying to hold together a marriage already cracking at the edges, a mother carrying exhaustion behind polite smiles, a woman swallowing disappointment until it settled too deep inside her chest. The days blurred between unpaid emotions, responsibilities, and the kind of loneliness that could still exist beside another person in the same bed. Then everything began shifting all at once. The betrayal she tried not to see. The humiliation that kept returning in different forms. The fragile independence she slowly reached for with trembling hands. One step outside the ruins of her marriage led her into a world far louder than her own, filled with wealth, attention, and people carrying influence powerful enough to overturn her quiet life completely. And somehow, Stella became trapped between three men. One was the husband she thought she knew, yet still lingered inside her heart like an unfinished wound refusing to close. The second came with quiet restraint, offering concern that slowly blurred into something more dangerous. The last entered her life like a storm, overwhelming, intrusive, impossible to ignore no matter how hard she tried to push him away. Each of them carried their own way of reaching for her. Attention. Protection. Possession. Regret. And Stella, already exhausted from surviving her collapsing marriage, found herself dragged deeper into emotions she no longer trusted. Because the more she tried to steady her life, the more everything around her tightened, jealousy, desire, public scrutiny, buried secrets, and the painful question of whether love had ever truly existed in the first place. In the middle of it all, Stella could only keep moving forward, even when every choice seemed capable of ruining her all over again.
