Isha Smith was just an ordinary book addict with a dangerous weakness for forbidden romance... until her favourite novel literally swallowed her whole.
Now she's trapped in the body of Valeria Duclair-the breathtaking, powerful, and utterly doomed villainess destined to die at the hands of the man she chased so desperately.
Armed with nothing but razor-sharp sarcasm, a encyclopedic knowledge of every overused romance cliché, and a fierce determination to live, Isha is ready to rewrite the entire tragic script. No more scheming. No more pearl-clutching jealousy. And definitely no dying for a man who never loved her.
But rewriting fate isn't easy when the engagement to the cold, dangerously handsome Vincent Veyrault is already looming, Seraphina's infuriating angel-face innocence is stealing every spotlight, and two obsessively possessive brothers are circling like sharks who smell blood in the water.
Can a sarcastic bookworm survive the deadly plot that killed the original villainess... or will she end up just as dead as the rumours promised?
One thing's for certain: this time, the villainess refuses to play by the book.

Bleeding Through the Veil of Scars
Sinscared Series #1 A forbidden love. A betrayal lurking in the shadows. And a world built on blood, deception, and vengeance. In the ruthless world of the Italian mafia, loyalty is power, betrayal is death, and love... is a dangerous game. Serafina Moretti is no stranger to violence. Born into the mafia, she was shaped by its rules-cold, unforgiving, and unyielding. But there's one rule she can't control: the way she feels for Lucien Beauchene. Lucien has always been there-her protector, her confidant. But he's never been hers. His heart has always belonged to another woman. Now, bound by an arranged marriage that neither of them wanted, Serafina is forced to face a truth she's spent years running from: Lucien's love is a ghost. And as the Russian mafia closes in, their fragile peace teeters on the edge of destruction. Serafina must navigate a dangerous world of blood, betrayal, and lies, while fighting a love that was never truly hers to claim. In the end, the question isn't how far she'll go to save Lucien-but how much of herself she's willing to lose in the process?Complete

HIS TESORO✅ [The Sinister Series]
"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOKComplete
