🖤 *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.

Empress Of Wrath, Blood And Desire
Aurora Velasco fled from a life promised to her: an entire empire on a golden platter. Despite possessing the skills, power, strength, and knowledge to rule, she never wanted the throne, not with the risks. Yet, her people will stop at nothing to see her ascend as their empress. Determined to escape this fate, she runs relentlessly, evading all who pursue her. Then she meets him. Marcellous Di Capo, a notorious and ruthless Don, becomes obsessed with Aurora after a one-night stand. Known as the devil incarnate, Marcellous is accustomed to taking possession of what he desires, and Aurora is no exception. The moment she holds a gun to his head, challenging her destiny, she becomes his obsession. Little does he know, the woman behind the mask is his worst nightmare. - "We are going to play a game, my sunshine," he murmurs, his hot breath trailing along the side of my neck. His hand finds my heated pussy, clutching it with just enough force to remind me exactly who it belong to. My heart stutters, my breath falters, and all I can feel is the searing heat of his presence. His lips hover dangerously close to my ear. "One where I fuck you recklessly, without mercy, and you won't make a sound... because if anyone around us hears, I will punish you." *** This book is unapologetically intense, filled with a few graphic violence and explicit content that explores the darker sides of humanity. It's not for people who shy away from brutal, unfiltered storytelling. If violence and sexual themes make you uncomfortable, this might not be the story for you. Proceed with caution- you've been warned. #1 in Spy: October 9, 2024 #1 in plot: January 17, 2025Complete
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

Illicit ✔
**WATTPAD HQ EDITOR'S PICK Nov/Dec 2021** BOOK ONE in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series Coralie Watson, a British thirty-year-old living in San Francisco, has a tormented past with men. Physical and mental abuse, abandonment issues, incompatibility--she feels like she just can't win, and constantly swears to herself that she'll remain single so she can focus on her burgeoning singing/songwriting career. After twelve years in the United States, she often regrets leaving London, her friends, her habits, and dreams of what life might have been like had she not moved. As she slowly settles into a new routine--and has, so far, kept her vow to stay celibate--her past refuses to give her a break. As she reencounters a former boss she'd had a crush on, someone else resurfaces into her life after many years of silence--a boy she met at fifteen, that she'd had deep feelings for. But now he's all grown-up and irresistibly handsome. She always considered him the "one that got away", and is shocked when he confesses he feels the same way about her. The problem? He's a successful business man who can't afford a scandal, he's married to a supermodel wife, and has two beautiful daughters. Yet none of that seems to stop him from making Coralie promise that next time she's in London, they need to meet and catch up... What's the harm in that? ♥♥♥ This is a work of FICTION. It will have fairly explicit language & sexual content (but I'll put warnings at the top of those chapters, in case those make you uncomfortable--though, hey, YOU CAME HERE FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)Complete
