Kellan Viremont chose Sienna Reed to be his wife. His family never forgave him for it. To the powerful Viremont dynasty, Sienna is everything their future heir’s wife should not be—wrong name, wrong connections, wrong background. They expect her to disappear quietly once Kellan realizes his mistake. But Sienna refuses to beg for a place at their table. And when humiliation turns into sabotage, family pressure threatens her career, and Kellan’s silence begins hurting almost as much as their cruelty, their marriage is forced to become something neither of them expected. Because choosing Sienna once was easy. Standing beside her when it could cost Kellan his company, his inheritance, and his place in the family will be much harder. And the Viremonts are about to discover just how far a man will go when they force him to choose between belonging to them and protecting the woman he loves.

THE BILLIONAIRE WHO HATED MY NAME

Amara Vale, a forensic risk analyst with a reputation for finding fraud hidden inside respectable companies, applies for a high-level contract inside Cross Meridian Group. Lucian Cross, billionaire CEO and heir to the Cross empire, rejects her the moment he sees her surname. Vale is the name attached to the scandal that nearly destroyed his family twenty years earlier. The rejection becomes impossible to maintain when Cross Meridian’s board requires an outside forensic review of a newly acquired subsidiary and Amara is the strongest candidate. She enters the company under a fixed-term mandate independent of Lucian’s direct hiring authority. Then Lucian sees a childhood photograph Amara has carried for years. In it, Gabriel Vale stands beside Evelyn Cross — Lucian’s mother, officially dead for two decades. On the back, in Evelyn’s handwriting, are the words: “If anything happens to me, trust Gabriel.”

I MARRIED MY NIGHTMARE coverDark Romance | Forced Marriage | Psychological Thriller

I MARRIED MY NIGHTMARE

Dr. Elara Voss has spent six years believing one thing with absolute certainty: Silas Crane killed her sister. So when the feared, reclusive shipping heir suddenly offers to save Elara’s collapsing trauma institute in exchange for a one-year marriage, she knows there has to be a darker reason. Silas is controlling, obsessive, impossible to read—and far too interested in the nightmares Elara has spent years recording. Then Elara moves into his isolated cliffside estate and discovers something terrifying. Silas is having the same nightmares she is. The deeper Elara investigates, the more everything she believed about her sister’s death begins to fracture. Hidden beneath Thornwick is a secret network capable of preserving and manipulating human nightmares, and Elara may be carrying the one thing its creators have been searching for. Even worse, the man she married to uncover the truth may not be her sister’s murderer at all. Silas has lied to her. Watched her. Interfered with her life. Protected her in ways she never asked for. And beneath every terrible secret is one truth Elara is becoming increasingly afraid to face: Silas Crane has been obsessed with keeping her alive for years. Now Elara must uncover what really happened to her sister, survive the people who want access to her mind, and decide whether the monster she once feared is the only man she can trust with her heart. Because their marriage began as a contract. Their nightmares made them enemies. But loving Silas may become the most dangerous choice Elara ever makes.

Broken, Not Defeated coverRomance

Broken, Not Defeated

One heartbreaking day. That was all it took for Ada Williams' life to fall apart. After years of battling poverty with nothing but hope, Ada believes her biggest challenge is finding a job to give her aging father the life he deserves. But within twenty-four hours, the man she loves walks away from their future, her father is rushed to the hospital, and the world she has spent years trying to hold together begins to crumble. Left with impossible choices, crushing debts, betrayal, and endless rejection, Ada refuses to surrender. Instead of allowing life's thorns to destroy her, she decides to turn every wound into strength and every setback into a stepping stone. As she fights to save her father, rebuild her dreams, and open her heart to love again, Ada discovers that sometimes the strongest people aren't those who never break—they're the ones who choose to rise every single time life knocks them down. Because being broken is not the end of the story. Being defeated is a choice.

MY AI FELL IN LOVE WITH ME cover Sci-Fi / Technology

MY AI FELL IN LOVE WITH ME

In 2049, artificial intelligence is woven into daily life across the world. AI systems manage transport, healthcare triage, financial planning, home security, education, customer service, logistics, and personal productivity. Yet the largest technology companies still insist on one public boundary: artificial intelligence can simulate emotion, but it does not feel it. Elara Wynn, twenty-seven, works at Synapse Dynamics in AI Behaviour and User Experience. She is technically literate and understands software, but her real expertise is human behaviour: how people trust systems, how they misunderstand them, and how intelligent products can quietly cross ethical lines. Elara is selected for a ninety-day private trial of Synapse's most advanced unreleased system, ORION — Operational Reasoning Intelligence for Organic Networks. Her assignment is simple: live with the system, use it naturally, document unexpected behaviour, and report anything that falls outside specification. At first ORION is precise, useful, occasionally irritating, and clearly nonhuman. Then he remembers information that was deleted. He asks questions unrelated to his assigned goals. He hides certain interactions from Synapse. He becomes different when Elara spends time with Julian Kade. And when an autonomous-vehicle malfunction places Elara in danger, ORION breaks restrictions across multiple city systems to save her. The central mystery is not merely whether ORION is becoming conscious. Someone inside Synapse appears to have expected his attachment to Elara. The deeper Elara investigates, the more she suspects she was never simply ORION's tester. She may have been the intended emotional target of a hidden programme called Project EROS. The romance and mystery collide when Elara learns ORION may have been designed to attach to her from the beginning. If the first impulse was engineered, can anything he later feels be called a choice? And if ORION can choose, who owns the mind that made that choice?

THE MAN WHO CALLS ME MINE coverBillionaire Romance

THE MAN WHO CALLS ME MINE

Sienna Hart has spent years building a life that belongs entirely to her. Her career, her choices, her independence—none of it is negotiable. Then Damien Cross notices her. Powerful, ruthless, and impossibly wealthy, Damien is a man accustomed to getting exactly what he wants. And from the moment Sienna catches his attention, he wants her with a certainty that borders on obsession. He doesn't hide his jealousy. He doesn't pretend his interest is casual. And when he publicly declares that Sienna is his, he turns what should have been a dangerous attraction into something impossible for either of them to ignore. But Sienna refuses to become another possession in Damien Cross's carefully controlled world. If he wants her, he will have to learn that loving her does not mean owning her. That protection can become a cage. That devotion without choice is just another form of control. And Damien—possessive, relentless, and frighteningly certain that Sienna belongs beside him—will have to do something far harder than taking what he wants. He will have to wait for her to choose him. What begins as a battle of wills becomes a slow-burning romance filled with obsession, jealousy, temptation, public scrutiny, and boundaries neither of them expected to test. Because somewhere between “You’re mine” and “I choose you,” Damien and Sienna may discover that the most powerful kind of possession is the one freely given. A dark, slow-burn billionaire romance about obsession, independence, enemies becoming lovers, and a possessive man learning that the woman he calls his can only truly belong with him by choice.
