Thriller

Finish the job. Leave no trace. That was the only rule Damian Black ever needed. Until Lillian Riva. The contract is simple: eliminate Jonathan Drakos, a syndicate kingpin who built an empire on blood. Damian does not miss. He does not hesitate. Then he sees the daughter Drakos keeps gilded and guarded, and cold precision cracks into something feral. Lillian has never been allowed a choice. Ornament. Leverage. Prey. When a stranger slips into her private rooms, terror should win. Instead, danger tastes like hunger, and surrender becomes the one power she can steal. Their affair is a locked-door war—control, devotion, and the kind of lust that does not ask permission. Damian's handler wants Drakos dead. A detective is circling the wreckage. The enforcer who watches Lillian will not share her. And the city is about to learn what happens when a killer chooses a woman over a contract. He was sent to destroy her world. He may burn it down to keep her.

Legacy is a death sentence

Mystery
Thriller
Horror

She came for answers. The castle wanted a bride. Emily Rose Crowe has never known her real family—only the orphanage walls that raised her. Then a mysterious inheritance notice arrives, pulling her to remote Ravenswood Castle and into the path of its brooding master, Lucien Anton Dragos. He warns her the bloodline is cursed. She should have listened. Behind sealed doors, Emily finds ledgers bearing her name across centuries, ritual murders that never truly ended, and the legend of the Hollow Bride—a sacrifice the estate still hungers for. Fresh deaths begin to mirror medieval atrocities. Everyone who tries to help her vanishes into the same dark pattern. As desire and dread tangle with Lucien, Emily learns she is not merely an heir. She is the centerpiece of a final bargain struck beneath the foundations long ago. Armed only with a silver locket and the truth of what her ancestors promised, she must choose: break the curse… or rule the darkness that made it. Gothic horror, forbidden hunger, and a mystery older than the stones themselves.
