Odessa Solavita dreams of eclipses she's never seen and a love that feels more like a curse. Beneath her mortal skin lies the soul of Selira, one of the Five Veiled Moons-a coven of celestial witches born under darkness and flame. Once, they wielded beauty and ruin in equal measure until Selira was stolen by a demon who swore he'd love her beyond death.
That love shattered the coven. It damned them all.
Centuries later, Odessa crosses paths with Kane Hendrix, the haunting lead singer of Crimson Hymns-a man whose voice drips with sin and sorrow, whose touch burns with something ancient and wrong. He is the very demon who broke the world for her once before.
As Odessa's dormant magic begins to awaken, so do the memories she was never meant to recall. Love becomes a haunting melody, pulling her toward the truth-and toward the monster who would burn eternity just to have her again. But awakening her magic comes at a cost. The forces that once tore them apart are stirring, and the other Veiled Moons are not as lost as history would have her believe.
The line between salvation and damnation blurs, until only one question remains:
Is love still love when it was forged in ruin?
In a world where magic is memory and music is a curse, "Crimson Hymns" is a darkly sensual tale of reincarnation, forbidden devotion, and the relentless gravity of souls that were never meant to part.

My Dear Damned Darling (NEW RELEASE)
She's one of the last of her kind. For centuries, she's lived in hiding, a demon among humans, forced to bury the memory of a war that slaughtered her sisters until the world forgot they ever existed. Everyone believes the demons are gone. Extinct. But she's still here-watching from the shadows, burning with secrets too dangerous to tell. He's the prince of the bloodline that destroyed them. The heir to a dynasty built on her people's ashes. Her enemy by birthright. Their paths should never cross. He should never have noticed her. Yet across the chaos of a crowded marketplace, his gaze collides with hers-and nothing is the same. One glance ignites a fire. One fire becomes a pull-sharp, undeniable, dragging them closer with every heartbeat. The one person she should hate more than anyone becomes the one her body aches for. His stare lingers too long, her breath catches too fast, and the space between them feels charged-fragile, breakable, like a single step would close it. Every look, every breath, is an almost-kiss stretched tight with danger and desire... a hunger that could ruin them both, yet dares them to fall anyway. Loving him could destroy her. Leaving him could destroy the world. And when the choice comes, the world won't burn around them...it will burn because of them. ***This story contains mature themes that may not be suitable for all readers. Discretion is advised.
Her Raven, Her Reaper
In the shadows of a cursed manor and under the gaze of a bloodstained moon, love becomes a dangerous game of fate and death. Seraphine Dusk has always walked the line between light and shadow. Haunted by a past she can't outrun, she finds herself drawn to two mysterious men-each cloaked in secrets darker than her own. Riven-the Raven-charming, enigmatic, and cursed with visions of death. He watches over her like a silent sentinel, a guardian of secrets and sorrow. Silas-the Reaper-cold, ruthless, and bound to the underworld. He claims her soul was promised to him long before she ever took her first breath. As Seraphine uncovers the truth about her bloodline and the ancient pact forged in her name, her heart becomes a battlefield between two beings who could save her... or destroy her. But in a world where nothing is as it seems, and love can be the most dangerous curse of all, Seraphine must choose- the one who sees her soul... or the one who owns it.
The Antarctic Ocean
The curse has finally been broken, thanks to the courage of the Savior, Emma Swan. The residents of Storybrooke have regained their memories: separated lovers have been reunited, families torn apart have found each other once more. It truly feels like the beginning of a "happily ever after." But not for everyone. Among them is a girl who doesn't quite belong. Her name is Syria - or at least, that's what she's been told. She has long, wavy hair the color of indigo and blue, eyes of the same hue, and skin pale as moonlight on water. Yet, even now that the curse is broken, Syria remembers nothing of her past. No family. No faces. No ties. Only a deep... and growing void. The only thing she thinks she knows is her name - but even that, with time, begins to feel like a lie. Driven by compassion and a strange, unexplainable bond, Henry sets out to help her uncover the truth about herself. But the mystery only deepens... until one day, Henry is suddenly kidnapped. In the chaos that follows, Syria ignores Emma's warnings and those of the others. She can't stay behind. Her connection to Henry is too strong, too real to be denied. Without hesitation, she dives after him, following the kidnappers through a portal that leads to a place long lost to time... Neverland. The island that doesn't exist. A realm of shadows, cruel games, and wild magic. And yet, inexplicably... Syria feels alive here. At home. As if she's known this place before. As if a part of her belongs to the island. Or as if someone... has been waiting for her.

The son of a notorious cartel leader, he's spent his life trying to distance himself from the shadow of his father's crimes. But when strange and deadly misfortunes begin to follow him, Kane starts to unravel a truth darker than he could have imagined: his bloodline is cursed. Nearly a century ago, his great great grandfather broke the heart of a powerful witch, leaving her to exact her revenge on every male descendant in his family. Kane is the latest in a line of doomed heirs, and the weight of the curse threatens to destroy him. That is, until he meets Cristina O'Connor. Smart, sharp-tongued, and fearless, Cristina is the light to Kane's darkness. From the moment they collide on their college campus, she turns his carefully guarded life upside down. Drawn into the chaos of his cursed existence, Cristina refuses to let him face it alone. Together, they uncover the tangled web of deceit and revenge that has spanned generations, leading them to question everything they thought they knew about their families-and themselves. But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the secrets they unearth. As the curse tightens its grip, Kane and Cristina must decide if their love is strong enough to survive a legacy of betrayal and blood. Can they break the cycle of vengeance and carve out a life free from the sins of the past? Or will the darkness that binds them ultimately destroy them both? Beneath His Shadow is a gripping tale of love, revenge, and redemption that will leave you questioning how far you would go to escape the chains of your heritage-and whether love can truly conquer the darkest of curses.Complete
Ivory Lies and Obsidian Truth
In a city ruled by gods and gilded lies, obedience is sacred. The trials are cruel. The king is worse. And angels are not meant to question-they're meant to kneel. But she doesn't. When a spring-born initiate dares to defy the sanctity of silence, she catches the attention of the one being no angel should ever cross: the god of death himself. He should have punished her. Instead... he watched. He intervened. He let her live. And in doing so, he may have doomed them both. Because the Ivory City is rotting from within. And she-bright, reckless, and unafraid-was never meant to survive it. Betrayal was always inevitable. But he never expected to want her enough to let it happen. ~She was forbidden to speak his name. He couldn't stop thinking hers.~

***SAMPLE!*** There's a prophecy - a prophecy holding the fate of two worlds. On the edge of Lilah's field, at the twelfth hour of the fall of twelve, the three kings will unite, a daisy will be lost, or the worlds will be gone.

Now, can you guess who needs to die? Death doesn't bother me. I will let the world burn if it means achieving my goals - because with every lick of the whip; he tore my flesh raw, as his laughter rang through the mansion, and my screams disturbed the heavens.
