She grows up behind carved screens and candlelit halls, where every smile is practiced and every secret is worn like silk. Born from a love that cost too much, she learns to move through a world built on grace, deception, and quiet survival. But the walls that once sheltered her begin to whisper-stories of those who vanished, promises made in shadows, and truths her elders refuse to touch. As she steps closer to the edge of what she is allowed to know, something stirs in the dark beyond her childhood games... something that has been waiting for her to look back.

A Kiss Before Dusk [BOOK 1]
In a kingdom where sunlight ruled and secrets festered beneath silk and stone, a princess lived behind walls built to protect her from the world-and from herself. Her days were scripted, her smiles practiced, her future sealed in ink and royal blood. But beyond the garden wall, past curfews and caution, something ancient stirred. A presence forgotten by time but remembered by shadows. He was a creature of night-cursed, hunted, and hollowed by centuries of silence. A vampire whose name was feared in legend and buried by decree. When their paths crossed beneath a blood-moon sky, fate did not ask permission. It only demanded a price. This is the story of Seraphina, the girl born to wear a crown, and Lucien, the monster taught to hate it. And how love, when truly forbidden, becomes the most dangerous kind of magic.Complete

Still, She Hoped
She's a girl with a hopelessly romantic heart-someone who's always believed in soulmates, late-night talks, and love that feels like home. But reality hasn't been kind. Time after time, she's been cheated on, left to pick up the pieces of promises broken and dreams torn apart. Still, she holds onto hope, even when it hurts. Then, just when she's about to give up on love entirely, someone new enters her life. Unexpected. Gentle. Different. For the first time in a long while, she dares to believe again. She lets herself fall. And just when her heart begins to feel safe, he breaks it too-leaving her more lost than ever. She's a hopeless romantic-someone who's always dreamed of deep, lasting love, the kind that feels like fate and fills every quiet space in her heart. But life hasn't followed the script she imagined. She's been cheated on more times than she can count, each betrayal carving a deeper wound, each lie dimming the light inside her. Still, she keeps hoping. Her mind is a storm-racing thoughts, endless questions, memories she can't escape. Why wasn't she enough? Will anyone ever stay? She tries to make sense of the chaos, holding onto that small, fragile thread of belief that love is still out there. Then someone new arrives-unexpected and warm, just different enough to make her believe that maybe, just maybe, things will be different this time. She opens her heart again. She lets herself feel. But the pattern repeats. He leaves. And the pain hits harder, because this time she truly thought it would last. Now, with too much on her mind and a heart full of silent screams, she stands at the edge of hope and heartbreak, still wishing-against all odds-that real love will find her.

Hidden Feelings Arranged Hearts
Not every love story begins with love at first sight. Sometimes, it begins with a quiet crush, one that never saw the light of day. She once loved in silence. A shy schoolgirl who never confessed, she kept her feelings hidden in the pages of her diary. To her family and friends, she was laughter, sunshine, and dreams... but only she knew of the boy who lived in her heart. He was calm, composed, and distant. A studious soul who never paid attention to the giggles in the hallway, the stolen glances, or the silent admiration of the girls around him. To him, the world was about discipline, duty, and ambition - not fleeting emotions. Years passed. Life moved forward. She built her dreams, he chased his ambitions. But destiny has a way of weaving the forgotten back into the present. When families bring them face-to-face again, will it simply be another arranged match... Or the chance for her hidden feelings to finally be seen? "She once loved him in silence. He never noticed her at all. Destiny is about to change everything."
