The Wallflower

2024

She needs me, because she needs money. I don’t need her. Just her complete submission… Maybell Jacobs is the Wallflower: quiet, shy, socially awkward and hell\-bent on hiding even from herself, that is until a chance encounter takes place between us. Instantly she hates me and for good reason. I'm a walking\-red\-flag. Filthy rich jock, short tempered, and violent. I can have anyone and anything I want.. except her. Little does she know her disgust, anger, and hate for me fuels my obsession to own her, completely in every single way. Maybell resists, predictably... but her fight only makes her more desirable and I have plans that will lead her right into my lap and never want to leave. When she joins the sinful tradition put on by the elite of the town, the Hunt, I’m shocked. The pretty little thing has no idea how much danger she’s in if she decides to become my prey. Sweet, innocent, and fragile like a flower. I'll have to be careful or risk breaking her. Because I’m the ultimate predator and when I play there are no rules. I don’t chase. I capture. And I like to own my bait. ★ Tropes include: secret society, college, touch her and die, CNC \& chasing bait fantasy ★

The Wildflower

2024

Lies. Betrayal. Loss. They're all I know, see, and feel. I don't know what is true, or a lie. I don't know who to believe or who what is real. Broken and grieving I find refuge in an unlikely foe. A man who claims to be my brother, who vows to protect me, and destroy those that hurt me. But not even he can't protect me from the nightmare that is Drew Marshall. Deranged. Psychotic. Immoral. He broke my heart, and publicly humiliated me. Leaving me shattered and broken when I needed him most. I should hate him, and I do, but a sick twisted part of me craves him as well. The harder I fight to escape him, the deeper he digs his claws into me. They say the truth will set you free, but ours didn't do that. It locked us inside the cage, and tossed away the key.

The Prey

2024

Filthy rich. Monstrous. Vile. He calls me prey. I call him a bully. Sebastian Arturo isn’t just cruel, he’s downright terrifying. With piercing green eyes, a body made for doing very bad things, and a charming demeanor, it’s no wonder everyone thinks the world of him… everyone except me. When I wake up with pieces of my memory missing he’s the only one who can give me answers. But he doesn't give me answers, instead he tells me to stop asking questions, or else... I heed his warning and do my best to avoid him but since he’s my boss and I live in his house that's kinda difficult. Then one night his hate for me reaches its breaking point... and the lines blur. Hate twists into lustful obsession. His cruel words become seductive praises. One touch sparks a raging inferno of desire, and I find myself burned to ash beneath his fingertips. Just when I think I'll finally find happiness my memories return bringing with them a vicious truth. Turns out the man I’m falling for isn't who I thought he was... and escape isn''t an option. He has me right where he wants, caught in a trap, just like prey. \\ This is a standalone, however for better reading enjoyment please consider starting with The Wallflower before reading The Prey. Again this is a dark romance novel, but does contain a happily ever after. It also contains triggering material, and adult content. Please do not start reading till you check the trigger warning at the beginning of the book. \\

The Predator

2024

What is a predator without his prey? Elyse Silver was never mine to keep. The day I saved her life, I ensured we would forever be enemies. Hating her was easy. Bullying her, as simple as breathing. Stopping myself from falling for her… I had no idea how impossible that would become. The harder I fought, the deeper I fell. Love and happiness have never been part of my plan, but letting Elyse go isn’t an option, either. Unfortunately, the truth always finds a way of revealing itself, and by the time she realizes who the real predator is, it’ll be too late for her to escape the trap I’ve put her in. \\ This is NOT a standalone and must be read AFTER The Prey. This is a dark romance novel that contains numerous triggers. \\

They don't see the mask I wear or the cage of family expectations slowly threatening to suffocate me. Three months. That's how long I have to find someone "suitable" to present at the Sterling New Year's Gala, or it's over. I tell myself I can handle it, like I handle everything else - with a smile and a shot of bourbon, but deep down, I know I'm inching closer and closer to the edge. Then I meet Salem Masters in a dark pantry at a party, and suddenly, nothing feels simple anymore. They call her crazy, and broken. The girl who wears latex gloves and counts her steps. I call her beautiful, careful, haunted. One encounter and I’m obsessed. I need to know more about her. I need to know if she's just like me. When I discover we share a common interest, I convince her to be my fake girlfriend. She could use the protection, and I need to convince my family I’m normal…but when our fake relationship turns real I discover just how close to danger I am.
