Dominate Her Heart
She was the fire he couldn't touch. He was the storm she couldn't escape. When 17-year-old Sofia Esteves returns to New York after five years in Portugal, she's not the quiet, broken girl the headlines once mocked. She's sharper, colder-and dangerously beautiful. With secrets buried deep beneath her designer smile, Sofia wants nothing but to start over. But starting over gets complicated when she runs into Emil Gusev-her twin brother's best friend and her sworn enemy. Emil is everything Sofia despises: arrogant, heartless, and breathtakingly magnetic. With his Russian blood and brutal charm, he's the king of the school and the only one immune to her ice. Except he's not. Underneath their venomous banter and heated glances lies something neither of them is ready for-obsession. As tension blurs into desire, secrets unravel, and past wounds resurface Sofia and Emil find themselves locked in a dangerous game of love and war. But when betrayal, trauma, and an old enemy return to destroy everything, will Emil still be the one to dominate her heart-or will he shatter it beyond repair? Enemies. Lovers. Survivors. In a world built on power, pain, and passion-only the strongest hearts survive. ---
The Bratva's Forbidden Flame
The Bratva's Forbidden Flame is a dark, obsessive romance between fire and frost-between innocence and bloodlust.

Behind ancient Gothic walls lies a cursed legacy and a man who rules it all. Vladislav Valeryan-the Blood King of Russia's underworld. A brutal, calculating mafia Pakhan known only by fear and violence. But even he wasn't prepared for the chaos that was Kaveri. Her eyes are his sin, her defiance his addiction. She doesn't know his name, only his power. And he doesn't care about her world, only how to make her his. But fate isn't kind to lovers born of war and blood. Secrets lurk in the shadows, vendettas burn deep, and the forbidden always costs the most. A tale of power, passion, and peril-where the forbidden becomes inevitable. And love?
