Adrianna has been having nightmares almost every night for years, though now they seem to be much worse. It's as if the dreams actually happened--as if she could feel the very same pain that should have been merely a trick of the mind. But what happens when the king arrives at Havencrest, bringing along two very attractive and alluring men? Would they help her solve the mysteries that seem to revolve around her darkest secrets or would she drag them down deeper into danger?
And what of the crescent-shaped birthmark she carries on her chest? Is it really a birthmark? Maybe it's something so much more--something none of them could probably handle.

Royal Scandal
One night. One mistake. One heir to the throne. Alina Evercrest is the youngest and only daughter of a noble house-kind, sharp-eyed, and devoted to a life far from royal intrigue. But after her coming-of-age celebration at the palace ends with her waking in the Crown Prince's bed, everything changes. Especially when whispers start, and her monthly cycle doesn't come. Prince Caelum is feared across the realm-lethal in war, ruthless in court, and entirely untouchable. He never intended to be tied down, especially not to the soft-hearted noble girl who's too clever for her own good. But the night they shared wasn't a scandal. It was fate. As tensions rise and enemies circle, Alina is thrust into the heart of royal power, where secrets burn and trust is rare. But she's not just surviving-she's outsmarting, outshining, and unshakably loyal to the man the world calls a monster... yet who worships her in the quiet. When love deepens, so does the danger. Because in a world built on bloodlines, politics, and power, nothing is safe-not even the child they never meant to create. He would kill for her. She would fight kingdoms for him. Together, they'll burn the old world to build their own.Complete

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
A Taste of Sweet Ecstasy
(NEEDS TO BE BULLDOZED AND EDITED THE HELL OUT) In other words, read at your own risk because I was 16 and wrote this with my eyes closed obviously. Adrianna Winters is playful, carefree, and sarcastic. She likes to live on edge and have so much fun that she wakes up looking like a drugged up hooker with a killer hangover in the morning and she swears she'll never drink again but she's back on the booze hours later. "Officer," I purred, "I swear to drunk I'm not god..." Archie snorted beside me and I turned to glare at him. Jesus, how drunk am I? Did I just purr at an officer that looks like a chocolate version of Homer Simpson? Okay calm down Adrian. Think, think, think! God if you're listening to me right now I'm sorry for stealing Britney Taylor's chocolate bar in third grade and I'm sorry for telling stinky Meli that no matter how many sample perfume magazines she rubbed on herself, she will still stink like donkey shit. Oh and I'm sorry for having sex with Conner Rossi in the locker room instead of being in Biology, wait I only half regret that because the way he used his...had me...Okay Adrian so not the time. Alright - God, well I'm sorry for being a douche bag but if you're still listening could you please poof Officer Crowley away? Getting arrested with my best friend's devilishly good looking arrogant brother who also happens to be my child hood friend was not how I imagined this night to go.

BOOK 1: Marked by Flame ( Currently Editing)
*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury.

The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation.
