Joseph 'Sef' Nichols - Soldier, Commando, Mercenary.
When an assassination contract deep in the deserts of Libya results in betrayal and murder, Sef finds himself robbed of everything that made his life his own. Forced into early retirement, he struggles to find purpose in a world so different from that which he has been trained to accept.
But when an old friend requests his help to find and kill the man who took their lives from them, he soon finds himself thrown into the darkness of conflict once again.
Their search takes them to Serbia, where a civil war rages uncontrollably, and the pair soon find themselves spiraling far deeper into the fighting than they ever intended.
Shadows from their pasts are to be confronted and unlikely allies must be found if they are to hunt down their mutual enemy, a man standing at the head of a fierce and ruthless army hell-bent on seizing a nation.
He is their target.
He is their retribution.

Underneath the Sudanese Sun
Underneath the Sudanese Sun She left her past in the dust, but memory is patient - and silence is a terrible grave. When a late-night hospital shift turns into a siege, trauma surgeon Dr. Keira Stafford neutralizes the attackers with calm precision - too much precision for someone who claims to have never seen combat. Her actions save lives, but they also raise questions that only one man seems brave enough to ask. Enter Dr. Noah Stanton, the quiet, unshakable psychiatrist tasked with evaluating her after the incident. What begins as a mandatory psych assessment becomes a battle of will and wit - and a reluctant unravelling of the secrets Keira has buried for over a decade. As fragments of her past resurface - from the French Foreign Legion to the scorched deserts of East Sudan - Keira must confront the ghosts that followed her home. But when her new life and her old sins collide, the cost of survival may no longer be one she's willing to pay. Taut, emotional, and deeply human, Underneath the Sudanese Sun explores what happens when healing becomes another kind of war - and when love and loss are two sides of the same wound. Author's Note Hi there ! This story has lived in my head for a long time - pieces of it written between school, exams, and quiet nights where I just needed an escape. I've always loved the desert, the way it hides life beneath all that stillness. Underneath the Sudanese Sun is my first finished manuscript ( yet to be edited . Feel free to add any suggestions or critiques in the comments) , and it still feels a little unreal to share it. It's a story about grief, secrets , memory, loss, and healing.- but mostly about scaring and healing , love and loss. Ps - I'll be adding chapters periodically from out of my google doc. Thank you for being here and reading something that means this much to me. I hope, in some way, it reaches you - the same way the desert always finds its way back into my head.

Golden Echoes
This story takes place after Ferit sets a trap for Seyran - a public humiliation meant to protect his family's name and destroy hers. This is an alternate storyline inspired by the original series Yalı Çapkını. I don't own the characters or original plot - only this reimagined version of their story. Seyran and Ferit's love was never simple - it was fire and ruin, beauty and destruction. But when Seyran leaves to start over, what will become of the Korhans? Of her family? And what if she didn't leave Istanbul alone?Complete

Or something might happen, which will bring Ferit to the Korhan mansion, with this time taking Seyran with himself, despite his family's disapproval? DISCLAIMER 1: This fanfiction is totally my imagination and has nothing to do with the original script of "Yalı Çapkını"! However, there could be some moments from the actual season 2 of the series, which I could add here, as well! DISCLAIMER 2: Some chapters may include a little more spicy moments, but nothing too spicy.

stolen by the enemy
Years after vanishing from Istanbul's underworld, Ferit Korhan returns with one mission-to destroy the two powerful families responsible for the murder of his older brother. For years, these families have ruled through alliances, wealth, and bloodshed... and Ferit intends to bring them to their knees from within. At the heart of their newest alliance is an arranged engagement between Seyran, a young woman trapped by duty, and Sinan, the heir to one of the families. She is not in love with him-only bound by an agreement forged long before her wishes ever mattered. Ferit sees an opportunity. His plan is simple: get close to Seyran, make her fall for him, sabotage the engagement, and ignite a war between the families. What he doesn't expect is Seyran herself-sharp-willed, restless, observant, and far stronger than the role she's been forced into. The more he pretends, the more real everything becomes, until Ferit finds himself falling madly, uncontrollably in love with the one woman who was meant to be his pawn. Now Ferit stands at the crossroads between the revenge he's lived for... and the woman who could ruin all of it-or save him from himself.
