Bleeding for Her
I froze. A man was slumped against the graffiti-covered brick wall, blood blooming across his side. His white shirt was soaked through, and there was a gun just inches from his open hand. My heart slammed against my ribs. Run, Skye. You should run. But I didn't. Instead, I dropped my bag and took a cautious step closer. His head lifted. Piercing, icy blue eyes met mine, sharp even through the haze of pain. His face was all sharp edges and shadowed scruff, blood trailing from the corner of his mouth. His accent was thick and rough, like broken glass. "Leave." I shook my head slowly. "You're bleeding. Bad." "Not your concern." His voice was lethal, but he flinched hard when he tried to move. "You're gonna die out here," I whispered, kneeling beside him. My hands trembled as I pressed a napkin from my apron against his side. "I'm studying to be a nurse. Let me help." He stared at me like I was something he couldn't comprehend. A stranger. A softness he didn't trust. Then his hand, heavy and warm, clamped around my wrist-not rough, but firm. "What's your name?" he rasped. "...Skye." A beat passed. Then another. "I am Mikhail." His eyes darkened. "And you shouldn't have found me."Concluída

The Shadowed Queen
In a kingdom where beauty and power dictate worth, Princess Evelyne has always been the forgotten one. Overshadowed by her radiant sisters, dismissed by her own family, and treated as nothing more than an afterthought, she has learned to live in the shadows-silent, invisible, and aching for something more. But when the feared and ruthless Dark King arrives to choose a bride, no one expects him to spare Evelyne a second glance. He is a man of legend-shrouded in mystery, draped in power, and said to have a heart as cold as the night itself. The court watches, breathless, as he surveys the dazzling princesses before him. And then, he chooses her. Whispers ripple through the halls. Shock turns to outrage. Why would the Dark King-a man who could have anyone-claim the overlooked, unwanted daughter? But as Evelyne is whisked away to his shadowed kingdom, she begins to uncover the truth. The Dark King sees what no one else ever has-her strength, her resilience, the fire beneath the quiet. And in his arms, beneath the weight of his intense gaze, Evelyne is no longer invisible. She is his. But as darkness looms and enemies gather, Evelyne must decide-will she forever remain the forgotten princess, or will she rise as the Dark Queen, feared and revered beside the man who saw her worth when no one else did?
