At Nightborne Academy, your bloodline is everything.
Vampires, wolves, witches—they all belong.

Ayla Rowan doesn't.

She thought she was just a human on scholarship. She was wrong. She’s the last of a forbidden bloodline—the Nightborne.
Now, caught between two rival heirs, she faces an impossible choice:

The vampire who claims her touch is his only salvation.
The wolf who would break his sacred oath to keep her safe.

In a world of dark magic and darker desires, Ayla must master her power not just to survive, but to decide—will she be the weapon that destroys their world, or the heart that finally binds it together?

Would she survive Nightborne Academy?
More importantly, whose claim would her heart answer?

In the empire of Auradyn, fire is forbidden.

For centuries, the High Inquisition has hunted the last traces of dragon magic, draining their hearts to fuel a world built on blood and steel. No one remembers the old bond between dragons and humans until a thief named Lyra Vance sets the sky on fire.

Born with the mark of flame in her veins, Lyra has spent her life hiding from the empire’s gaze. But when a dying dragon’s soul fuses with hers, she becomes something new something dangerous. Hunted by the ruthless Inquisitor Kael Thorne, haunted by the voice of the dragon spirit bound inside her, Lyra is thrust into a war she never asked for and can no longer escape.

As rebellion sparks across the empire, Lyra must master the fire she fears before it consumes her. To free the last dragons, she’ll have to face the truth about who she is and what she’s willing to burn to set the world free.

A story of fire and fury, sacrifice and rebirth, The Last Ember is a blazing tale of destiny, love, and the cost of becoming legend.

When twenty-one-year-old Nyra Valeis dies in a burst of forbidden blue fire, she expects oblivion.
Instead, she resurrects in a storm of golden flames awakening the long-extinct power of the Phoenix Queens and exposing herself to the realm she’s spent her life hiding from.

Now the entire kingdom of Erevar knows the truth:
The last Phoenixborn lives and her rebirth has cracked open an ancient prophecy.

Hunted by the terrifying Hollow King, a corrupted fire god whose awakening could burn the world, Nyra is forced into an uneasy alliance with Aric Thornfall the shadow-wielding assassin who once tried to kill her. Their path is riddled with cursed magic, fractured memories, betrayers in disguise, and truths powerful enough to shatter fate itself.

But Nyra learns a darker secret:
Her life and the Hollow King’s resurrection are bound by blood.
Her death will wake him.
Her survival will doom him.
And her heart may endanger everything she’s trying to save.

As war ignites and dragons rise from centuries of slumber, Nyra must choose between the destiny written for her… or the one she’s willing to burn the world to create.

In a realm where fire is salvation and destruction, she is both.
And fate has never seen a Phoenix crowned.

“This contains herbs commonly used by witches to tamper with bonds—to forge or conceal them.”

“Lies!” my voice cracked. “It’s just an aphrodisiac! Luna Lisa gave it to me!”

The crowd roared with laughter, the sound cruel and mocking.

Liam’s gaze bore into me, his disappointment cutting deeper than any blade. “So now you’re blaming the Mother Luna?”

I shook my head frantically, tears streaming down my face. “No! She gave them to help me. Please, call her. She’ll explain!”

“Enough!” Liam’s voice boomed, silencing the room.

“I almost made the mistake of crowning someone as ungrateful and spiteful as you my Luna.”

I watched as he moved closer to the girl, the imposter, his attitude becoming gentler as he assisted her in standing up.

“I apologize for all that you’ve suffered,” he said, his tone soothing. "I promise, I will get revenge for you."

She nodded, tears streaming down her face. “Start by rejecting her,” she said, her voice trembling but resolute. "Comsider it done."

"Please, Liam, don't do this." I pleaded as he turned back to me, his expression hardening once more.

“I, Alpha Liam, Alpha of the Lycan pack, reject you, Nina Hawthorne, as my mate and Luna.”

Agony pierced me, burning and relentless. I fell to my knees, holding my chest as tears shook my body.

Liam didn’t look at me as he placed a crown on the imposter, finishing it with a kiss.

The sight burned into me, each second carving a deeper wound in my soul.

As the crowd cheered, I made a vow, silent and cold.

I will make her pay.

The Runaway Bride: Extended Blurb

What happens when you refuse to accept your fate? When the only way forward is to run?

Luna Matthews has spent her life controlled by fear--first by her cruel stepfather, now by an arranged marriage to a ruthless Alpha she barely knows. On her wedding day, she makes an impossible choice: she runs. Trading her small mountain town for the anonymity of the city, Luna finally tastes freedom. She dyes her hair, changes her name, and begins rebuilding herself as a baker in a quiet cafe, determined to never be caged again.

But freedom has an expiration date.

When Ethan Baron finds her three months later, he brings shocking truths about the supernatural world she never knew existed--and a revelation that changes everything: he's her true mate, not his brother. As Luna grapples with newfound powers awakening inside her, enemies from both worlds close in. Her stepfather returns as something far more dangerous than human, and a rival pack descends on everyone she's come to love.

Luna thought she was running from her past. But what if her past was running toward her all along--and this time, she's the only one who can stop it?

Can she survive becoming the thing she feared most while learning to trust the brother she never expected to love?

If Tessa Rhodes had a list of things she could not stand in this world, Derek Saunders would be at the very top

Between school and her mom’s chemotherapy, Tessa does not have room for distractions, drama, or boys like him. She has a plan. Get in, work for her money, and get out.

Derek Saunders used to be untouchable. The school’s star quarterback, the golden boy everyone adored, until one scandal turned him into a liability no one wants to talk about. Now he is all sharp edges and silence, carrying a reputation he refuses to explain and a future that no longer feels guaranteed.

Then a job offer lands in Tessa’s lap. One that pays too well to ignore and places her inside Derek’s house, under his parents’ rules, and far closer to his life than she ever intended.

Derek does not make it easy. He is guarded, resentful, and clearly unimpressed by her presence. Tessa is determined not to care. This is temporary. This is survival.

What Tessa will not see coming is the attraction she will feel toward the one person she cannot stand.

Vivianne
I hate vampires. They killed my mother and took the only man I ever loved—my first love, who died years ago.
Since then, I learned how to survive without love. Or at least, I thought I did.
Until I saved a dying man in a forbidden land that doesn’t exist on any map.
Alaric. The most feared vampire king in the world. But he cannot survive without me.
And the longer I stay by his side, the more I start to lose control around him.
Until a man who looks exactly like my dead first love appears.
And tells me:
“Your first love is not dead.”
“The one who killed him… is Alaric.”
So I approach him with love. I kiss him with intent to kill.
But the truth was never meant to be uncovered.
And once I start digging, there is no way back.

"You will comply. You will breed. You will save humanity. You have no other purpose."

Sera Ashford thought she'd escaped the Breeding Registry. For three years, she lived in the shadows of Neo-Genesis City's Fringe, hiding her genetic classification as a Class-A Breeder—one of only 247 fertile women left on Earth after the Sterility Plague.

Then the Tribunal found her.

Dragged from her illegal clinic where she'd been saving lives without authorization, Sera is given a choice: accept assignment to the Genesis Repopulation Program or watch her younger sister—the only family she has left—be reclassified as "expendable."

The Program is humanity's last hope: genetically compatible partners are matched and confined together until pregnancy is achieved. It's clinical. Mandatory. Survival.

Sera agrees to save her sister. What she doesn't know is that she's not just any Class-A Breeder—she's a Platinum Match, compatible with multiple elite Wardens, the genetically enhanced soldiers who survived the plague with superior DNA.

Three Wardens, to be exact.

Kade Voss—the ruthless Commander of the North Sector garrison, a man forged in war who's never failed a mission and sees Sera as his final duty to humanity.
Dr. Ryker Vale—the brilliant geneticist who designed the matching algorithm, whose own infertility makes him bitter until he discovers he's compatible with exactly one woman: Sera.

Damon Cross—the rebel Warden who was exiled to the Fringe and forced back into service, who sees the Program as slavery and Sera as his chance at redemption.

The Protocol is clear: Sera will live with all three men in a shared Genesis Suite until conception with the "optimal match." They're supposed to cooperate. Share. Accept that this is bigger than any one person's desires.

Except none of them can.

Kade wants her exclusively, believing his superior genetics make him the right choice.

But to Bianca Vitale, he is the man who dismantled her life. When her father’s gambling debts and failed shipments push her family to the brink of extinction, Dante offers a deal that is less of a mercy and more of a death sentence: Bianca’s hand in marriage in exchange for her father’s life.

She will be the ghost in his machine, the poison in his cup, and the spy who brings the Butcher to his knees.

Behind the heavy oak doors of the Moretti villa, a dark game of cat-and-mouse begins. Dante’s possessiveness is suffocating, his touch is a brand, and his eyes see through every lie she whispers against his skin.
​As the line between her fake submission and real desire begins to blur, Bianca makes a terrifying discovery: Dante has been one step ahead of her from the very first "I do." In a world where love is a weakness and betrayal is paid in blood, she must decide if she can truly destroy the man who bought her soul or if she is destined to become the queen of the monster she swore to kill.

Only four to rule the sea.

A trick, a lie, a mistake all the same,
The fifth will forever be shamed.

"I'd been lonely lately. Having accrued enough wealth to no longer need to go on the raids I was well off.
Now I just needed a little slave girl to warm my bed.
I'd considered a docile thing with a warm spot for me. But instead, I was intrigued by the spitfire commanding she'd not be touched.
I saw her body and thought her too tiny but when I touched her, I wanted her.
And what I want. I get.
Afterall, I'm a wolf at heart. And a full moon is coming.
She'll learn the way of things. One way or another."

Isabel's life has been a constant struggle with the word "ugly." Her Leucoderma skin disease had made her believe that she could never be beautiful. It seemed like every person she met had an opinion about her appearance, and none of them were kind. They made her feel like it was a crime to not be born with flawless skin.

Instead, they treated her like she was worthless, as if her appearance was all that mattered.

It was like a punch in the stomach, and Isabel wondered if Mason would ever be able to love her for who she truly was. Would he hate her forever or be able to see past her physical flaws and fall madly in love with her pure soul? Only time could tell...

"So, you just use me for your safety and leave when you want?" His voice was dangerously low, making everyone shiver.
Everyone but Lucia.
She looked him square in the eyes, no hint of fear in her clear hazel gaze.

Adrian chuckled to himself, hands in his pockets. Lucia was back. The fire in her eyes said it all....

Selena Rossi knows two things: her mafia don father’s empire is built on corpses, and her mother’s killer walks free.

He’s the ghost in her nightmares.
Rook. Her father’s deadliest shadow. A name whispered in fear. An assassin without a face… until he’s forced into her light as her 24/7 bodyguard.

Mutual hatred is their shield.
Trapped together as bullets fly, Selena sees the flicker of pain behind his ice-cold eyes. He sees the crack in her armor. When chaos erupts, a savage, stolen kiss ignites a fire neither can control.

Then she uncovers the truth.
Security footage. A masked killer removing his disguise.
Rook’s face.
Pulling the trigger.

Her world shatters. Trust bleeds out. She vanishes into the night, leaving only betrayal behind.

Three years. Three lifetimes.
Selena is a ghost now too. But her father’s empire is crumbling. Enemies close in. A senator is dead. The FBI’s net tightens.

He walks back into her war.
Rook. Broken. Haunted. He carries a digital bomb – evidence that could save her family… or bury them.

“Your mother’s death wasn’t my mission. It was my damnation.”
But the shadows hold darker truths. The real puppetmaster pulls the strings.

As bullets tear through a warehouse of ghosts, loyalties shatter.
Her father faces a traitor’s gun.
Rook takes a bullet meant for her.
A recording holds the key to salvation… and damnation.

He thrusts the evidence into her hands.
“Save them… or let it burn.”

Sirens wail. Blood pools. One choice remains.
But the deadliest secret isn’t who pulled the trigger.
It’s why the gun was loaded.

Justice has a price. Is love the bullet… or the shield?

Clay growled and picked me up. “Clay what are you doing?” I whispered to him.

“Love, you can not come in smelling like that, tell me you want to mate and not expect me to take you to do just that!”

I'll explain, on one condition," it was him. The man, who could give me all answers I've been terrified of, yet weirdly excited to hear out loud.

"What's your condition, then?" I asked, already intrigued in what is it. I mean, he can ask for a lot of things, yet since I haven't taken responsibility for the pack, I'm still nothing more than the Alphas daughter. I'm broke; I don't have a job, I don't own anything, except the motorcycle I've gotten for my birthday. Technically I'll be broke until I take over the pack, that is IF I will decide to.

Refusing to accept the official story of suicide, Landon abandons the battlefield and returns home to uncover the truth. What begins as an investigation soon reveals a web of lies, betrayal, hidden identities, and secrets powerful enough to shake the nation's most influential families.
As more bodies appear and old enemies emerge from the shadows, Landon realizes that his friend's death was only the beginning.
Someone is hunting for something.
Someone is erasing the truth.
And the deeper he digs, the more impossible the mystery becomes.
Because every clue points toward a terrifying possibility:
The monster responsible may not be a stranger.
It may be someone who shares his blood.
To expose the truth, Landon must fight a war unlike any he has ever faced—a war without armies, without rank, and without knowing whether the enemy he seeks is wearing his own face.

Everyone in Blackwater City has secrets, Cairos Reed just discovered his may not belong to him. After finding a dead woman inside Apartment 404, Cairos uncovers a recorded message warning him not to trust “the man with his face.” Hours later, someone using Cairos’s voice appears outside the apartment door.

Soon the police begin linking Cairos to crimes he cannot remember committing. Surveillance footage shows him in places he has never been, strangers insist they know him, missing people are connected to him. Worst of all, another version of Cairos may be moving through the city independently.

As Blackwater descends deeper into paranoia, Cairos is pulled into a hidden war involving illegal memory manipulation, identity theft, and a secret system capable of rewriting human consciousness itself.

Every answer only creates more questions. Who is the other Cairos? Why are parts of his memory missing? And if his identity can be altered, how can he trust anything he remembers?

In a city where memories are bought, stolen, and rewritten, the truth may be the most dangerous thing left alive.

Sofia De Luca never knew that her simple life hid a big secret. She was a member of the De Luca Mafia family, which had disappeared after an internal split. Her life changes completely when she is kidnapped by Dario Moretti, a notorious young Mafia boss from the Moretti family, her family’s sworn enemy.

Initially, Dario only wants to use Sofia as a tool to bring down the De Luca family without knowing who she is. However, the situation becomes more complicated when Sofia’s origins are revealed. Sofia is confronted with a harsh reality: her family, whom she has always considered innocent, has had a hand in the great tragedy that destroyed Dario’s family in the past.

The tension peaks when the battle between the two Mafia families heats up again. In hatred, revenge, and betrayal, Dario and Sofia begin to feel something they never expected: love. However, their love may be the biggest sin they can commit, as every step closer means more blood is shed.

Sofia must now choose to side with the family she has never known or trust Dario, who is slowly showing a softer side behind his mask of cruelty. Can their love unite two divided worlds, or will they be destroyed by old grudges that never die?

“You kissed me like you meant it. Then you disappeared like I meant nothing.”
“I kissed you because I meant everything. That’s why I ran.”

I was raised behind bulletproof windows and diamond lies. A Mafia Princess. The spoiled daughter of New York’s most feared kingpin.
But when war ignited, my father didn't send his soldiers.
He sent him. Dante Valeri—the family's cold-blooded enforcer. A man forged in shadows. My protector. My nightmare. My obsession.

He hated my softness. I hated his control.
We should’ve killed each other.

Instead, we kissed so deeply and desperately—and he touched me like he didn’t care who was watching.
Until the night I found out he murdered my mother.

He vanished without a trace.
Left me shattered, betrayed, ruined.
Three years later, he returns—ruthless as ever, claiming he has proof my father orchestrated it all.

But I’m not that wide-eyed girl anymore.
I don’t need saving.
I want the truth, even if it kills us.

Layla never expected to be thrown out of the only home she had ever known.

Accused of kidnapping her half-sister, Aria, she is abandoned by the very people who should have protected her. With nowhere to go and her life falling apart, Layla drowns her pain in alcohol, only to wake up the next morning in the bed of the last man she should ever be with.

Jake.

Aria’s fiancé.

Cold, powerful, and impossible to read, Jake believes Layla knows more about Aria’s disappearance than she admits. But instead of turning her over to the police, he gives her a cruel ultimatum:

Become his wife until Aria returns… or let the world believe she seduced her sister’s fiancé and destroyed the family herself.

Forced into a marriage built on suspicion, humiliation, and secrets, Layla finds herself trapped in a house where nobody wants her and beside a man who only sees her as a replacement.

Because Aria’s disappearance may not be what it seems.

And the more Jake tries to hate Layla, the more he begins to realize the wrong sister may have been chosen from the very beginning.

Lily, a young woman from a world where vampires and werewolves are nothing but legends, finds herself drawn into a mysterious forest.

As the days go by, Lily discovers that her life is about to change forever. In the forest, she uncovers the dark world of vampires and werewolves, where nothing is as it seems. The werewolves, once thought to be nothing more than myth, are revealed as enemies of the vampires, and Lily finds herself caught in the middle of a war she doesn’t understand.

As she gets closer to Alex, the vampire who saved her life, she also begins to discover more about her own hidden abilities.

The deeper Lily delves into this supernatural world, the more she realizes that she may be connected to it in ways she never imagined. As alliances are formed and broken, Lily faces impossible choices.

Will she stay loyal to Alex, or will she be forced to choose a side?

And in the end, will she survive the battle between vampires and werewolves?

She went into the forest to hunt so she could bring food home and survive the winter, unaware that something far more dangerous had already caught her scent and followed her back.

When the beast comes to their farm, it is not by chance.

He knows she is there.

And her stepfather sees an opportunity to make more coin.

For a handful of coin and without hesitation, he offers her up in exchange for more than they have ever had, sealing her fate with a bargain she never agreed to.

Taken into a cursed land ruled by a creature feared by all, she is forced into a life she never chose, bound to a beast who is as cold and unforgiving as the winter itself. He is not a man, not fully, and the darkness within him is something no one has ever been able to control.

She should hate him for what he is and for the power he holds over her, yet the longer she remains in his world, the more the truth begins to unravel. There is something deeper beneath the cruelty, something hidden within the curse, and something in her that seems to answer it.

As the line between monster and man begins to blur, she is forced to face a truth she never expected, because surviving the beast may not be the hardest part.

Learning to trust him might be.

Just then, he reached out and touched me. His large hand cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing dangerously near my lower lip. The dungeon air vanished, replaced by the scent of leather, and steel. He peered deep into my eyes, and in that instant, I thought of first time, that weird feeling of connection, waxing even stronger now.
It was impossible. This man was an enemy. Associations with his kind are regarded as abominable.

Narnia never imagined that she would be sent to the side of that man in place of her sister—the infamous, cold-blooded king and commander Elias Varon, who hated werewolves and vowed revenge for her parents' deaths at their hands.

She had prepared herself for death, but a mysterious bond connected the two of them. Even more unbelievable, she seemed to develop an uncontrollable affection for this destined enemy.

Caught between a fateful bond and the vortex of conflict between two races, what will become of Narnia?

I was marked as the fated mate of Kael, the most powerful and feared Alpha to ever exist. But the moment our eyes met, he rejected me. I was 'too weak,' 'too unworthy' to stand by his side as Luna. What he didn’t know was that I carried a part of him within me—not one, but four: our children.
