In the rain-slicked heart of a nameless city, Elias, an ancient demon bound by glamour and ennui, feels a ghostly rope tug at his soul. It leads him to Leo, a shy, stuttering artist who paints a hauntingly familiar face on his wall, unaware of the supernatural pull between them. From a shadowed alley to the hushed aisles of a bookstore, a single, electric touch forges an unbreakable bond. But Elias's fear is a venom that poisons their connection, leaving Leo to physically fade away in his absence. Forced to confront the devastating cost of his retreat, Elias must choose between the solitary eternity he knows and the terrifying, beautiful humanity of the one person who can truly see the monster-and the man-beneath. This is a story of a love that bridges worlds, a tale of a demon who learned to tremble and the mortal who taught him how to live.

Obscure
Forgetting is dangerous. Remembering is deadly. Elias: the man sitting handcuffed in an interrogation room deep in a secret underground facility. On the surface, he looks harmless. But his mind is a weapon-he can erase memories with a thought. Kirill: the man on the other side of the interrogation table. He has a weapon of his own-he can see inside other people's memories. All he has to do is make them feel a strong enough emotion, and their minds are his. And no emotion works quite as well as fear. Elias has worked for decades to save the Enhanced-people born with superhuman abilities-from being abducted and forced into black-ops work. Now his captors want the names of everyone who has ever helped him. If Kirill's methods of persuasion don't work, he'll simply use Elias's fear to slip into his mind and plunder his memories. But he may get more than he bargained for. Decades ago, Elias erased a set of memories that tie the two of them together in a way neither of them suspects. And those memories are about to come to light. Obscure is part of the Mind Games universe, a series of standalone stories about ordinary humans with superhuman abilities and the people who want to use or destroy them. This novel is 65,000 words long, or about 200 pages.Complete

What Light Hides
Lucia Blooms doesn't want to be seen. Not in this new city. Not in her suffocating school. And definitely not by Elias Silva-the insufferable boy who won't stop looking. She's sharp, guarded, and always ready to run. He's persistent, arrogant, and far too curious. What begins as friction slowly unravels into something dangerous-something tender, terrifying, and hard to name. Elias Silva is everything she despises: loud, entitled, and effortlessly admired. But beneath the surface, neither of them is what they seem. In a world where silence is survival and vulnerability feels like a trap, Lucia has built walls high enough to disappear behind. Elias? He doesn't believe in walls. As their lives collide, the line between protection and connection begins to blur. And for two people who swore they'd never let anyone in, the hardest thing might not be holding on-but letting someone stay. This isn't a love story. It's a story about damage, loneliness, and the slow, painful beauty of being seen.Complete

The Moon Remembers You🐺🌕
In a world ruled by wolves and moonlight, Elias-a quiet human artist seeking peace-never expected to find a half-dead alpha wolf bleeding at his doorstep. All he wanted was silence, a place to heal, and maybe a sunrise worth painting again. But fate doesn't ask for permission. Kael, the proud young alpha destined to lead his pack, has spent years fighting the Moon's cruel sense of humor. Once betrayed by the one meant to be his mate, he swore never to trust destiny again. When Elias saves his life, Kael's instincts rebel-drawn to the warmth of a fragile human he has no right to crave. Their bond isn't supposed to exist. A wolf doesn't belong to a human. And love, no matter how fated, doesn't always come gentle. Yet in the hush between breaths, in the space where the forest hums and the Moon listens, they begin to find each other-through broken trust, quiet touches, and the ache of something that feels too much like forever. Because sometimes, even when the world forgets, the Moon remembers.

After Class Hours
They didn't end up in the same space on purpose. Brooklynn is the quiet type. Not shy... just tired. Tired in the "life been heavy for a while now" way. He minds his business, goes to work, comes home, and keeps his world small because that's how he breathes. Azyir is the opposite. Loud, funny, always in motion. ADHD running the wheel every day. Talks so much he forgets to say what he really means. Laughs loud so nobody asks if he's okay. They sit in the same trig class at their HBCU, but they don't talk. They don't dislike each other either. They just... live in two different worlds. Messiah Markell is their professor. Older, calm, strict in the quiet way that makes people sit up straighter. He owns a club downtown called Desirable, but in class he keeps everything controlled. He doesn't like watching people drown in silence or noise. He sees them both slipping. Not failing. Slipping. So he tells them to stay after class. Every day. Not for tutoring. Not for discipline. Just to sit, breathe, work, or not work. A room where nobody has to force themselves to be "okay." And somehow, without anybody planning it... The quiet one. The loud one. And the man who teaches them how to stay. Start learning how to need each other. Not in a fast way. Not in a dramatic way. In the way real connections happen: Slow glances. Shared exhaustion. Walking home together because home doesn't feel safe tonight. Sitting in silence that doesn't hurt. Being seen without having to explain. This is a story about: Black boy rest. Soft dominance. Messy feelings. Learning how to stay present. No fake deep. No forced love. Just real people figuring out how to breathe.Complete
