Hester wasn't the typical heroine, ready to save the world for glory or destiny. She was just... Hester. Stubborn, sarcastic, a little desperate, with a world-Gavik-that was rotting under a fucking magical disease that showed no mercy.
The solution? Thera. A place where magic and technology constantly collided, and where time travelers risked getting arrested if they caused trouble. Not exactly a place to feel at home. And then there was Athor, the only ally she had: arrogant, incredibly charming, morally gray... capable of saving her life as easily as letting her rot without a second thought.
She walked beside him through portals that seemed ready to swallow them whole, deadly creatures, and dimensions that screamed, "You don't belong here." She tried to breathe, tried not to think too much about what could go wrong... but it was impossible. Trust Athor? Maybe. Fall in love? Probably not. Yet, amid the fights and challenges, there was something she couldn't ignore.
Love... didn't fix shit. Not here. Not for Gavik. Here, it could be the last crack that made everything collapse. Salvation wouldn't come from who she thought it would, and fate had a cruel sense of humor that almost made her laugh... if it weren't for the fear pressing on her chest so tightly it nearly made her stop breathing.

Wake: Whispers from the Underland
After a devastating breakup, Lyra finds herself lost, both emotionally and physically, wandering through a dark and mysterious realm known as the Underland. In this haunting place where shadows stretch endlessly and time slips away, Lyra is consumed by her grief and confusion, unable to find her way back to the world she once knew. In the depths of the Underland, Lyra meets Damien, a seemingly perfect guide who promises to heal her broken heart. With his gentle words and comforting presence, Damien convinces Lira that he can help her move on from her past and restore her peace. But as Lyra's trust in him grows and love starts to blossom, so does her unease. Something about Damien doesn't feel right. His kindness seems too perfect, his offers of solace too convenient, and soon she begins to suspect that the Underland-and Damien himself-are not what they appear to be. As Lyra delves deeper into the twisted and deceptive landscape of the Underland, she learns the terrifying truth: the realm thrives on the souls of those who are lost and broken, offering false healing in exchange for their soul. To escape before the Underland consumes her soul, Lyra must confront her deepest pain, face the emotional scars she's been running from, and discover the strength to heal from within. But Damien, now revealed to be a sinister force in the Underland, will stop at nothing to keep her trapped in his false embrace. In a race against time, Lyra must break free from Damien's manipulative grip and find a way to reclaim her heart before it's too late. The only question that remains: can she heal in time to save herself, or will the Underland claim her soul forever?Complete
Riley and Devin
"How many romance books do you read?" Devin asks me. I shrug. "I like them," I say. I keep browsing, running my fingers along the spines. "So, you like romance then?" he asks me. I nod. "What's your favorite part of a love story?" "I like the very first kiss, but I like the second one even more," I say. I bite my lip and look at him. Oh. My. God. What the hell am I doing? Am I flirting? I think that I'm actually flirting. With Devin. Devin, my best friend. I have officially lost my mind. I should probably stop. But I can't seem to. "Will you grab me that one?" I ask. I point above my head, my back's pressed against the bookcase. He locks his gaze on mine and reaches over me to grab the book I asked for. "Thanks." I don't move and neither does he. Riley and Devin have been best friends forever-since Kindergarten. It's Senior year of high school, now. And it's always been simple, Riley's got his back, he's got hers. But as life goes on Riley can't help but wonder if maybe he's not just her best friend, if she likes him as possibly something more. As her feelings deepen and become something greater it becomes more evident that she's falling, really hard. No matter how hard Riley tries she can't stop falling, she can't stop from loving him. Even if it tears her to pieces or even if it destroys their friendship. Pretty soon Riley is going to have to choose between walking the safe line of friendship or taking the unpaved path of love. Will she risk everything for love?Complete
The Demon Princess Returns
**They called her worthless. The Abyss proved them catastrophically wrong.** Born to a bathhouse servant, Nyra was the Empire's favorite victim. For eighteen years, nobles bet on which beast would tear her apart first, watching her flesh regrow for the next round. They called her "worthless bastard," "abomination." On her eighteenth birthday, phoenix fire erupted from her spine-the rarest core in existence. The divine mark of imperial blood. The Empress's solution was swift: steal her core, give it to Princess Selena, cast Nyra into the Abyssal Rift. But the ancient demons didn't devour her. They adopted her. Seven years later, she's back. The nobles are dying impossibly. Selena's stolen core burns her alive. And something ancient stirs beneath Whitestone Peak. When she meets Ronan Fenwick-the beast-hunter whose mark burns for the creature he must kill-everything changes. He's hunting her. She's his fated mate. The girl they called worthless carries secrets that predate empires. The Therion throne thought they buried their shame. They're about to learn phoenixes don't stay buried. *Where monsters wear crowns and stolen power demands blood.*

"Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent.

Fingers stained black
Many forget that the goddess of love was born from the raging sea, but she would do anything to protect her daughter. Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything. For there was a prophecy long before she was born: 'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne, Her paternity unknown. They would carve her face and never forget, for she would be the most beautiful that they had met Cursed for the same fate as her mother Forced to leave her love for another The only way she shall break this curse is if she defeats the first' "Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him. "Maybe she never did," I walk away, not sparing a single glance back, no matter how much my body was begging me to. I fuss over my hair, pouting as I run my fingers through it to put it back into place. *A warning note* I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot. Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.Complete
