When Saydi Moretti returns to her former home in Lake Forest, California, she finds that things were not as she left them. There is a shift in the air that she didn't expect in her homecoming that sends her farther back in her mind than her very age. That shift's name is Paris Vincent. He is familiar to her in a way he shouldn't be, because they've never met before. But she can't shake the feeling that they have. Suddenly, the city and her life become a broader spectrum of visions she can't begin to understand. Saydi starts having strange dreams of Paris, a clearing in a forest, and an old ship.
But who is Paris Vincent?
She begins to dig deep, finding that what seems so impossible in the world is truer than she could have imagined. Saydi has a strange past that echoes through centuries and has only begun her life written for a place in this world that only she can fill. In an intense war inside her own head, she begins to resurface and find that her memory is a powerful ally, guiding her through familiar faces and stories meant to be legends. She has to work to fit pieces of her together, find out where Paris fits, trace back her family's legacy and know her true name because it may be more powerful than even she could have fathomed.

Meant to Be
Precognition. This is what Luna can feel. It’s the power to see the future; whether it is her future or someone else’s. However… She cannot control it… It is unpredictable. It comes with just the slightest skin contact, and it doesn’t matter where or who she touched, for that familiar dizziness may come to her, freezing her in place as she is mentally transported into the future. It can takes minutes, it can take an hour, it can take long enough that people will stare and think of calling 911. That is what made her hide herself from the rest of society, and what made her keep to the shadows of her home in Georgia her entire life. It didn’t help when her father and younger sister died. Following the tragic family deaths, her mother was in a state of shock for five years straight before suddenly announcing they were moving away. Now, Luna is living in sunny California. Meant to be… Something good and something bad… It had been the vision she had received before the sudden move… But what will happen? Was the something good the boy she just met? Is he the good thing that was to happen? If so, then what was the bad thing? Luna will try to avoid this subject, but as the days grow windier and the sky grows darker, Luna needs to find out what is coming for her before it is to late… but can she fight it? Was this what was meant to be?Complete
His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Complete![Blackout.

OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete
