Every mask cracks. Some are broken on purpose.
Victoria Reynolds thought her art was the only way she bared her soul. Each canvas was a confession in color, a truth she would never dare to speak aloud.
Until Alexander Jennings noticed.
Wealthy. Magnetic. Mercilessly composed. He saw what others dismissed - the fractures beneath her restraint - and summoned her into his world with a single sealed envelope. A commission, he called it. Generous pay. Discretion required.
But when she steps inside Jennings House, Victoria learns the truth: the commission is not about paint or canvas. It is about her.
Alexander is steel, unyielding in his gaze.
Sasha Montgomery is silk, dangerous in her softness.
Together, they strip away her defenses, testing what lies behind the mask she has always worn.
Caught between fear and desire, shame and surrender, Victoria must decide: will she cling to the safety of the life she knows... or risk everything to become what they see in her?

It may get steamy, intense, and *cough* extremely wild. The city sparkled below, lights twinkling like a thousand whispered secrets. From her penthouse, Amara Miller watched the world with practiced detachment. She was used to control, to predictability, to being the architect of her own life. And then he walked in. Ian Anderson. Sharp, deliberate, impossibly composed-and utterly infuriating. One glance, and the steady rhythm of her world fractured. She didn't know him. He didn't know her. Yet something about the pull between them was undeniable, a dangerous kind of curiosity that neither could resist. Sometimes, life didn't ask for permission. Sometimes, it demanded surrender. And for Amara Miller, surrender was the one thing she wasn't willing to give... yet. Join Amara and Ian on their exciting journey! WARNING: Mature content.
Sin & Silk (COMPLETE)
In the dark, they surrendered. In the light, they collided. Every Saturday night, she trades power for pleasure. In The Velvet Room, names are forbidden, masks are mandatory, and reality disappears behind silk and shadows. For a few stolen hours, she isn't a ruthless attorney clawing her way to the top-she's simply desire, hunger, need. Then she meets him: dominant, dangerous, addictive. They agree-no names. No faces. No strings. But outside the club, fate has a twisted sense of humor. He's the one man she can't afford to crave. The one man who holds her future in his hands. Because he's not just any stranger... He's the judge about to preside over her biggest case yet. Masks will fall. Rules will break. And the most dangerous sin... will be falling for him. ***Mostly smut with a little plot*** #1 in masked - 5/18/25 #1 in power imbalance - 5/18/25 #2 in secret identities - 5/18/25Complete
30 Lashes: Submission. Punishment. Love
She ran from the one man who would never hurt her-into the arms of one who did. Now she wants to come home. But trust, once broken, demands a different kind of pain. Sam made a mistake. One that nearly tore her world apart. Devin, her Dom, was everything she craved-control, safety, love. But fear made her lie, and pride made her run. Now she's back. And Devin isn't interested in punishment. He wants something harder: understanding. Rebuilding. To be his again, Sam must face what she tried to forget-the truth about Greg, about herself, and about the paper-thin line between surrender and self-destruction. A raw, psychological journey through kink, repair, and the deepest kind of submission.Complete
Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete
