The Wrong Miracle
"What voodoo stuff did you give me, you Bokor?" The tunnel that his loud shout created in my ears is not far from competing with Laerdal tunnel. I frowned at him and gave him a pouted angry scowl. "That is called a charm. A charm is an object that can help you with your wishes." "My wish was to win the bid for the project. Then why did my opponent win it?" Huh? His opponent won the bid. Shit! Did I mess up again? Not possible right?! Someone did win the bid so the charm did work its part. I looked at the angry handsome devilish gentleman and scratched my head awkwardly. "Your wish was to win the bid. You did not say who should win the bid. So, the charm did its magic, you cannot blame me for your incomplete explanation." Looking at the man before me, if I weren't a beautiful, adorable and an attractive girl, he would've surely stomped me a hundred feet into the ground. Too scary!

A Rivalry Written in Flames
Aveline Quinn was born into power. Brilliant, untouchable, always in control- until the day her world collided with two men fated to change everything. Jace Spencer had always been the storm at the center of her world- powerful, sharp, and unshakably sure of himself. The heir everyone feared. The rival who matched her mind, challenged her fire, and looked at her with a cold intensity that felt dangerously close to something else. And Zeke Weston- the shy boy who once wandered her marble halls with hesitant steps, the friend who followed her like she was the sun he couldn't touch. He grew into the warmest man she knew-steady, loyal, the one who could still soften her world with a single smile. Between the man who challenges her fire and the man who softens her edges, Aveline is pulled into a collision of ambition, hidden longing, and old wounds that never healed. Loyalties will fracture. Desire will blur every line. And the truth waiting beneath the rivalry might destroy everything she thought was safe- including herself. A story of power, desire, fragile loyalties, and a rivalry that refuses to die- because some fires are lit by the hands we never doubt.
The BRIDE who melted his HEART: The dragon bound crown
"You're shaking," he murmured, his palm cupping her heat with a heavy, possessive weight that made her knees give way. He didn't just touch her; he staked a claim, his fingers sliding in her folds with a slow, agonizing deliberation that demanded her absolute focus. "You're suffocating me," she panted, her hands clutching his shoulders as the relentless friction turned her blood to liquid fire. "I am keeping you where you belong," he growled, his teeth sinking into the curve of her shoulder as his other hand came at her until she was nothing but a pulse against his hand. She was sent as a political bride, a living apology, a pawn meant to wither beneath the weight of an unforgiving empire. He was a ruler forged by betrayal, untouched by warmth, and sworn never to need a woman by his side. Their marriage was meant to be a sentence-hers to endure, his to ignore. But when a woman expected to break instead reaches the heart of an emperor, the empire itself begins to crack. In a world of crowns, bloodlines, and ruthless power, this is the story of a bride who was never meant to live... and the emperor who was never meant to love. 1st of the dragonbound crown seriesComplete
