In the shadowed heart of Louisiana, where moss-draped oaks whisper secrets and the swamps never sleep, Odessa Baptiste is drawn into a world she never knew existed. Haunted by visions and pulled toward places she cannot explain, she finds herself entangled in an ancient struggle between creatures of the night-vampires bound by blood, werewolves tied to the earth, and something darker that stirs beneath it all.
Two enigmatic vampire brothers, the alluring Devereauxs, watch her every move with dangerous intent, while an Alpha with roots as old as the land itself warns her of the price of stepping too deep into their world. And at the center of it all lies the Black Magnolia-a symbol of beauty, resilience, and power, blooming only where tragedy bleeds into destiny.
Odessa must uncover the truth about her own connection to this supernatural conflict before the bayou claims her as its next secret.
A gothic tale of love, betrayal, and survival, Black Magnolia is perfect for fans of atmospheric dark fantasy who crave romance threaded with danger and mystery.

Hearts of Crime 🥀
Some loves don't die. They kill. In the year 1703, in a city drowning in secrets, she walks like a shadow wrapped in silk. Lantern light flickers against rain-slick stones, and behind every painted smile lurks a silence sharpened like a blade. A vampire, cursed with a hunger deeper than blood, she craves the taste of betrayal most of all. When passion turns to treachery, knives glisten and roses decay. Every whispered vow carries the weight of ruin, and every crime of the heart must be paid in blood. The streets themselves seem to hold their breath, as if waiting for the echo of footsteps that will decide who survives the night. Love here is never gentle. It is a wound disguised as devotion, a promise that cuts as deeply as it embraces. And when the final bell tolls, choices will stain more than lips-they will stain eternity. But in love's darkest hour, is she the victim... or the executioner?Complete

Crown of Blood: Immortal Lovers
Vampires... To many, they are nothing more than urban legends, horror stories created to scare children and inspire films and books. But in this world, they are real. Since the dawn of humanity, vampires have walked among us, spreading chaos, killing without mercy, and draining every drop of blood they could find. It was then that one family decided to turn the tables: to stop being the hunted and become the hunter. Thus were born the Helsings, a lineage dedicated to eradicating the vampiric threat. With courage and strategy, the Helsings achieved the unthinkable: they defeated the King of Vampires, sowing fear among his subjects.

A new king has risen, gathering what remains of the creatures of the night.

With Dmitri Makarov's arrival, Skylar's once-calm world unravels, revealing a reality she never imagined. Because Dmitri isn't just any man-he's a Lycan, the Alpha of a powerful nearby pack, and the sworn protector of the town she calls home. He isn't searching for a mate. But fate has other plans. When Hunters begin circling Skylar, Dmitri is forced to step in-only to discover that Skylar's secrets run deeper than either of them realized.
