Influence Stories

BOOK 1 OF THE POSSESSIVE SERIES (UNDERGOING EDITING) ALL BOOKS FROM THIS SERIES CAN BE READ AS A STAND ALONE. The fine line between love and obsession is so thin that it's almost invisible. At least, it is to Anastacius, the Emperor of Rome. He fell in love with the sound of her voice before he even saw her face. By the time he finally did, it was already too late. Valeria was warmth and wit wrapped in silk and defiance; a woman who did not bow easily, not even to a man who commanded the greatest Empire. Anastacius had been raised to conquer, never being denied a single thing he desired. Until her. She was light where he was shadow, mercy where he was ruthless. And the more she resisted the gilded cage of his devotion, the tighter his grip became. He told himself it was love. He told himself he was protecting her. But empires are not built on tenderness, and hearts are far easier to break than kingdoms. This is the story of how he made her his. The story of how he lost her. And the story of how far an emperor will go when the only thing he cannot command is the woman he calls his Empress. *** THIS BOOK CONTAINS DARK THEMES, ABUSIVE CONTENT INCLUDING EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL VIOLENCE, WHICH MAY MAKE SOME READERS UNCOMFORTABLE SO VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

Book 3: Affinity Romance series Ryan Turner was built for chaos. For the rush of a free fall, the sting of the wind at his back, the undeniable high of knowing he could die at any second. And then he did. Not completely, but enough to steal the life he once lived. Now, he's trapped in a town too small to matter, haunted by the ghost of a leg that isn't there and the painkillers he swore he'd never need again. Victoria Sterling-Chen knows a thing or two about ghosts. The world used to love her-until it didn't. One wrong move, and now her name is trending for all the wrong reasons. So she runs. Away from the cameras, the whispers, the you should have known betters. But no matter how far she goes, she can't outrun the one thing that's closing in on her: silence. She's losing part of herself. He's losing control. And when two broken people collide in the middle of nowhere, the crash might just be loud enough to wake them both up.

In a world where power is built not just through wealth but through influence, control, and perception, Ethan Park leads Park Sovereign Holdings with calculated precision-an empire inherited, fortified, and made untouchable under his rule. Alongside it, Averon Marketing Co. serves as his strategic instrument, shaping narratives and controlling outcomes before conflicts even surface. His greatest rival, Shaun Blackridge of Blackridge Apex, operates differently-thriving in disruption, weaponizing chaos, and turning instability into advantage through bold, unpredictable moves. At the center of this corporate war stands Lara Villanueva, whose rise from observer to key strategist reshapes the balance between control and adaptability. What begins as proximity to Ethan evolves into something far more significant: a partnership that blends precision with intuition, structure with momentum. As hidden alliances emerge and unseen forces begin influencing the battlefield, the conflict escalates beyond contracts and acquisitions into a deeper, more dangerous game of power and survival. As loyalty is tested and control begins to fracture, Ethan and Lara must navigate not only the external war threatening their empire, but also the shifting dynamics between them-where trust becomes both their greatest strength and their most exploitable vulnerability. In a world where every move is calculated and every connection can be used against you, the story explores what happens when two forces stop standing apart-and instead, become the most unpredictable power in the game.

# ✦ *The Last Issue Before Dawn* ### By Jai Kav Inside the glass walls of **MONARCH**, beauty is treated like religion and exhaustion is worn like couture. When Xiao Zhan arrives at the prestigious fashion magazine as the final candidate no one expected to survive the industry, he enters a world ruled by impossible deadlines, artistic perfection, and the cold brilliance of MONARCH's Creative Director, Wang Yibo. Detached, meticulous, and emotionally untouchable, Yibo has spent years transforming fashion into carefully controlled distance. But Xiao Zhan sees things other people ignore. The loneliness hidden inside collections. The exhaustion behind perfection. The quiet ache beneath luxury. As MONARCH prepares its most important issue of the year, the two men are drawn into a relationship neither of them knows how to resist. Late-night editorials become intimate conversations. Runway concepts begin carrying emotional truths too dangerous to name. And somewhere between gold-lit photoshoots, rain against glass windows, and sleepless nights inside the editorial offices, MONARCH slowly stops feeling like work. Meanwhile, the fashion industry remains obsessed with an anonymous critic known only as **Jun_sim0501991** - a mysterious online voice feared for devastating reviews and impossible honesty. No designer escapes Jun's scrutiny, not even Wang Yibo himself. But some reviews are more personal than they appear. Set against the glittering brutality of the fashion world, *The Last Issue Before Dawn* is a slow-burning story about art, loneliness, emotional vulnerability, and two people learning how to be seen without fear. Beneath couture, controversy, and creative obsession lies a quieter truth: Some collections are inspired by love. Others are created by people already inside it.
