🖤 *Velvet and Smoke*
**A seductive psychological romance for readers who crave danger, desire, and devastating secrets.**
You didn't come to the city for love. You came to disappear.
But when you lock eyes with Ashen Vale-enigmatic, androgynous, and impossibly magnetic-you're pulled into a world of velvet lounges, whispered promises, and smoke-laced lies. Every glance is a dare. Every touch is a test. And every night with them feels like falling into something you won't escape.
But Ashen isn't just a lover. They're a witness.
To the secret you buried.
To the girl you lost.
To the version of yourself you swore no one would ever find.
As desire deepens into obsession, and seduction twists into revelation, you'll have to choose: surrender to the truth-or become the lie.
**Velvet and Smoke** is a slow-burn, second-person romance that blends sensual tension with psychological mystery. LGBTQ+ inclusive, emotionally raw, and laced with danger, it's a story that doesn't ask for your heart-it steals it.

HIS LITTLE OBSSESION
"Love isn't supposed to be dangerous... but here, it's lethal." This isn't your typical romance-it's darker, sharper, and far less forgiving.

Expect twists that will steal your breath, kisses that feel like sins, and a romance so intense it might just ruin you (in the best possible way). One moment you'll be gasping, the next you'll be grinning-because in this world, even darkness knows how to flirt. Welcome to a story where obsession is mistaken for love, enemies look better in the dark, and every page dares you to fall deeper.
The Way You Heal Me
Description She swore love was something that only broke people apart. He swore he'd prove her wrong. Scarred by the past, Elara has built walls so high no one dares to climb them. She doesn't believe in fairytales, soulmates, or second chances. All she wants is to survive quietly without anyone getting close enough to hurt her again. But then she meets Aidrien-warm, stubborn, and relentless in all the ways she isn't. He sees through every shield she hides behind, and instead of walking away, he stays. With every word, every touch, every moment, he begins to show her a truth she's never known: that love can be gentle, that it can heal, that maybe, just maybe, she's worth saving. In a story of broken pieces, fragile hearts, and the courage to love again- he isn't the storm that shatters her. He's the way she heals.Complete
The myth of Équili. I will find you in every life - series.
She was never meant to awaken... and he was never meant to care. Sarina has spent her life hiding a power that shouldn't exist-one that even the ancient fairies fear. When a violent surge exposes her abilities, she is sent to train under Ariel, a cold, exiled warrior whose own past is buried in betrayal and silence. He is everything she despises: strict, unreadable, merciless in his methods. She is everything he didn't expect: stubborn, fragile... and terrifyingly powerful. Their world is fractured between elemental bloodlines, sacred myths, and a forbidden book lost to history. Kingdoms are watching. Priests are hunting. Something old is waking beneath the surface-and Sarina might be the key to saving or shattering everything. But power comes with pain. Training feels like war. And the most dangerous thing in the temple isn't the magic. It's the way he looks at her when her power flickers. It's the way her heartbeat changes when he steps closer. In a world where loyalty is deadly and emotions are a weakness, two broken souls are forced together by fate... or something far more dangerous. Magic. Tension. Slow-burn obsession. This is not a love story. This is how it begins.

Our Untamed Hearts
🔥 Love rekindled. Secrets exposed. A city on fire. Six years ago, Y/N walked away from Kim Namjoon-the man who broke her heart and buried her trust. Now he's back, not just as the firefighter who once loved recklessly, but as the captain leading his team into the city's deadliest disasters. When fate throws them together again, sparks reignite. But danger isn't only in the flames. A string of "accidents" sweeps through Seoul-gas leaks, explosions, fires that don't add up. The deeper Y/N and Namjoon dig, the more they uncover: sabotage, cover-ups, and a corporation willing to silence anyone who stands in its way. As the fires grow closer and enemies circle, Y/N must decide-protect her family and her heart, or fight beside the man she swore she'd never forgive. Some loves are worth burning for. And some truths are too dangerous to bury. 🔥 A slow-burn, second-chance romance meets a high-stakes thriller. 💔 Enemies in the shadows. Lovers in the line of fire. 🔥 Book One of a two-part saga. ✨Author's Note✨️ This story is inspired by the C-drama Fireworks of My Heart but is not a direct retelling. I've added my own twists, new conflicts, and deeper conspiracy arcs. The male lead is written as BTS's Kim Namjoon, and the heroine is Y/N so readers can step fully into her shoes. Think of it as: Firefighter x Doctor romance + corporate conspiracy + emotional slow burn - my own re-imagined version, with BTS woven in.Complete
