In the Zerg Empire, males rule by birthright, and even the strongest military monarchs bow before them. When Azel, the only male heir of a powerful noble house, is matched by the all-seeing Nexus to Kaelith, the proud commander of the Seventh Legion, an unbreakable chain is forged.
Cold, untouchable, and bound by law, Azel plays the role of a frail male before the world. Yet behind closed doors, his dominance shatters every expectation - seven nights of merciless claiming leave Kaelith trembling, torn between humiliation and an unfamiliar heat.
As their forced union deepens, Kaelith begins to see a different side of his cold master: possessive, demanding, yet strangely tender in moments only he is allowed to witness. But in a society where males host cruel games, where monarchs are nothing but playthings, and where rivals wait in the shadows, Kaelith must decide if surrendering to Azel is defeat... or salvation.
A story of power, lust, and a dangerous love that defies the Zerg Empire itself.

Reborn as the Emperor's Most Favored Prince
What happens when a modern girl dies... only to wake up as a baby prince in her favorite fantasy novel? Not just any prince-the Seventh Prince, Kaelion, the Empress's most beloved son and the most handsome child in the empire. In the original story, he was nothing but a side character, adored for his beauty but destined to die young, a mere footnote in the bloody struggle for the throne. But this time, Kaelion has something no one else does: 👉 A modern brain full of "strange inventions." 👉 A sharp tongue and comedic inner monologues. 👉 A determination to live long, eat well, and avoid all death flags. Unfortunately, surviving palace life isn't easy. His brothers range from overprotective to murderous, his sisters cling to him like he's their personal hero, and the nobles whisper behind his back. Worse, five extraordinary young women-noble ladies, a proud oiran, and a merchant's daughter-are all fated to fall in love with him. Between assassination attempts, sweets stolen with his fourth brother, awkward marriage proposals, and court politics, Kaelion must learn to play the role of "useless, spoiled prince" while secretly outsmarting everyone around him. But fate has already marked him as the Emperor's treasure. And treasures are always fought over. Comedy, romance, harem, and palace intrigue collide in this reincarnation tale of a girl who became the most favored prince! NOTE: I created this for fun. Open for feedback :) Thanks!

Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM)
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.Complete

As I navigate a world of political intrigue and ancient magic, I find myself caught between two brothers. One is a gentle prince, a beacon of warmth who risks everything to offer me kindness. The other is the tormented black wolf that guards my tower at night, a silent protector whose eyes burn with a familiar pain.

Under a Matra Sky
Kael never wanted to come to Lysena: a prosperous matriarchal world where women hold social power and men are expected to know their place. But when his family's transport ship is forced to make an emergency stop, they find themselves stranded in a society that challenges everything Kael believes about freedom, authority, attraction, and what it means to be a man. Far from home, Kael struggles to adapt to life on Lysena. He hates the rules. He hates the attention. Most of all, he hates Sari: sharp-tongued, clever, and impossible to ignore. She seems to take endless pleasure in flustering him, turning every conversation into a game he can never quite win. But the more Kael resists her, the more tangled their rivalry becomes. Every tease, every challenge, every brush of her hand leaves him unsettled in ways he doesn't understand. And when surrender begins to feel less like defeat and more like desire, Kael is forced to confront a truth he never expected: Maybe he doesn't want to escape Lysena after all. He swore he'd never bend. She swore she'd make him hers.
