Seville. A city of passion, secrets, and unforgiving heat.
Seventeen-year-old Selene Aranda has always lived carefully, hidden in the quiet corners of her world, until her life is disrupted by Caelan Dávora - rare, magnetic, and utterly untouchable. With a reputation that keeps people whispering and a gaze that burns too long, Caelan is the kind of boy who should be avoided.
But fate doesn't deal in warnings.
When Selene and Caelan are forced together by circumstance, their lives begin to unravel in ways neither imagined. The closer Selene gets to him, the more she uncovers pieces of a heart both fragile and dangerous. And the deeper Caelan falls for her, the more he realizes that love might be his salvation - or his undoing.

Devour Me Slowly
"In a world where touch is regulated, pleasure is monitored, and desire is a crime, two broken souls dare to disobey." Selene Varn is a model citizen-respected psychologist, loyal enforcer of the state's Purity Contract, and a woman with no visible cracks. But beneath her perfect record lies a hunger she's never dared name-a hunger for dominance, pain, surrender, and the kind of intimacy no regulation can sanitize. Then she meets Aras-a former underground artist, exiled and emotionally uncorrected. Aras doesn't just break the rules. He devours them. And when Selene is assigned to assess him for psychological rehabilitation, their sessions become something far more dangerous: a battle of glances, breath, bruises, and awakening. What begins as a clinical interview becomes an unraveling. A ritual. A reckoning. As their connection deepens, Selene must decide: Stay obedient... or taste the chaos of being truly alive. ⚠️ This story contains mature themes including BDSM, power exchange, psychological kink, consensual violence, public acts, and emotional degradation. Read with care. Not a love story. A need story. Not soft. But intimate. Not safe. But true.
Alpha Wolf - Mate Mine
(+18) COMPLETED ✔ {Highest Ranks & Awards: #1 in Werewolf, #3 in Alpha, #3 in Mate, #16 in Romance, 19/11/2020} ☆☆☆☆ Mirko. Just his name is enough to invoke fear. Young in age yet ancient in his fury, with burning eyes and a bloody history of ice & fangs. His beast-more prehistoric predator than a mere Alpha-rules the shadows as ruthlessly as he rules his pack, the infamous Black Devils. Whispers speak of a curse. Wolves born without mates, destined to lose themselves to the feral madness of their inner beasts. But then came her. ☆☆☆☆ Elena paused, her gaze sweeping over him. His nostrils flared, thick veins bulged along his neck and face, and his eyes were pitch black-voids of pure darkness. Elongated, inhuman ears twitched as sharp fangs pierced his lips. Any sane person would have run for their life. But to Elena, he had never looked more beautiful. ☆☆☆☆ After this book, you'll find yourself longing for that simple, powerful word-the one we all secretly yearn to hear once in a lifetime: MATE ☆☆☆☆ Some reviews from my awesome readers: annaglowka2005: "MASTERPIECE!!!!

The Immune
The Immune When the world falls to vampires, Selene discovers she is neither prey nor savior-she is poison. Bitten in the first wave, she should have turned. Instead, her blood burns the undead from the inside out. Soldiers fear her. Refugees whisper her name. Every vampire that touches her dies screaming-except one. Valerius. The ancient who made the first monsters. He doesn't want her blood-he wants her. Haunted by his voice in her dreams and hunted across a collapsing world, Selene is torn between her fragile human ties-Mira and Rafe-and the predator who circles ever closer. Valerius alone can survive her kiss, her veins, her ruin. And he will claim her, no matter how much blood must be spilled. Selene isn't immune. She's the end of them all.

As Selene uncovers the secrets of Kael's dark past, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected. Despite her mission to betray him, Selene's growing feelings for Kael blur the line between duty and desire. The more she learns, the more she questions her loyalty-especially as the Order that hired her reveals its true intentions.

Bound by Shadows
She only wanted to escape her past. He never let anyone close. When nineteen-year-old Selene Carter steps through the wrong door in Kalden City, she finds herself in the hands of Damian Blackwood-a man feared as much as he is desired. Ruthless, magnetic, and untouchable, he rules the city's underworld with cold precision... until Selene defies him. What begins as a dangerous game of temptation soon spirals into obsession. He is everything she should run from, but every glance, every touch, pulls her deeper into his darkness. And Damian? He doesn't believe in letting go. In a world of secrets, betrayal, and desire sharp enough to cut, one question remains: Will she burn in his shadows-or learn to wield the fire herself?
SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim)
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.

Heirs And Hunters
"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
