Forbidden Flesh
2024
Melody I was drowning in my secret, living with my consequences. I had one last chance at college, but something is wrong. I can sense it in the air. It’s dark and twisted, and his name is Valen Vikiar—the notorious bad boy of Kenyan. Despite warnings to stay away, despite the little voice in my head screaming at me to run, it was too late. I couldn't resist. I'm addicted to the rush and danger of being with him. He consumes my every waking thought, drawing me deeper into a dangerous game where desire and power collide. He is evil. I am...forbidden.
#6
Envy
2025
Sold into slavery to a depraved man, I was meant to serve. To obey. To deceive. But when the Order uncovered his secret, they gave him a choice: send me to Kenyan University, or he’d lose his claim over me. At the university, I wasn’t just a student. I was Prey—a label that marked me as less than human in their brutal hierarchy. Unlike others marked the same, though, I couldn’t be hunted. I couldn’t be caught. Everyone thought they knew me—until my lies unraveled. Branded a liar, I became an outcast in a world where power thrives on manipulation and deception. But then came him. Garret Nox. Manipulative. Vicious. Addictive. He is a predator disguised as perfection, a psychopath hiding behind the mask of a golden boy. Despite the warnings to avoid him, his fixation on me is unavoidable. They say envy consumes everything it touches. And Garret? He’s the embodiment of it. Now, I’m caught in a dangerous game where the envious don’t just covet the Prey—they destroy them. The only question left is: Will I survive his obsession?
