**Book Teaser - *Rust and Wildflowers***
When Olivia Hart leaves behind the noise of the city for the whispering wilds of Alaska, she expects nothing more than cold mornings, hard work, and the slow fading of her grandfather's days. But the farm holds more than memories-it holds Rudy Pankow, the quiet, broad-shouldered farmhand who's been there longer than the winters themselves.
For ten years, Rudy's life has been rooted in the same soil-steady, simple, and safe. Then Olivia arrives like a storm, stirring up what he thought was long buried. She's too young, too wild, too untamed for the life he's chosen. And yet, when the Alaskan nights grow longer and the first snow falls over the rust and wildflowers of the fields, neither can ignore the pull between them.
In the land where survival demands strength, love may be the most dangerous risk of all.

"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.

THE UNSENT LETTERS OF BOHEA
After stepping away from fame and fractured ambition, Roland finds refuge in a remote village where quiet isn't emptiness-but invitation. There, amidst mountains draped in mist and traditions older than memory, a nameless bond begins to form through music, ink, and the echoes of letters never sent. As red thread ties strangers together, Roland must confront what love means beyond expectation-what it asks, what it offers, and what remains unsaid. But when silence stretches too long, and hearts are pulled in opposite directions, the question lingers like mist on a still lake: Do some threads fray... or do they simply wait to be held again?Complete
