Two Bodies, One Soul

Rachel Williams died in water. When she opens her eyes again, the world has changed. Silk curtains hang above her bed, servants bow at her presence, and a crown rests upon her head. In the empire of Auremis, she is now Hanuel, the newly crowned empress. The court sees a gentle, quiet queen. Nobles offer polished smiles. Servants whisper behind closed doors. Life in the palace moves as it always has, untouched by the strange truth Rachel carries inside her. Because no one in the empire knows what happened that night. To them, their empress has always been alive. But somewhere within the marble halls of the palace walks a man who remembers too much. The emperor, Kaelith Aurelius, watches his new bride with a gaze that is colder than the throne he sits on. There is no warmth in his eyes only suspicion, calculation, and the quiet patience of someone waiting for the truth to reveal itself. Rachel quickly learns that Auremis is not just a kingdom of glittering crowns and royal ceremonies. Beneath the beauty of the court lies a world of silent rivalries, dangerous loyalties, and secrets buried deeper than the palace foundations. And the woman whose life Rachel now lives was not as simple as the empire believes. Surrounded by strangers who think they know their queen, Rachel must learn to navigate a life that was never meant to be hers—while hiding a truth that could unravel the entire court if it ever comes to light. Because in Auremis, crowns are fragile things. And sometimes the most dangerous person in the palace… is the queen who should have drowned.

HIDE OR SEEK

Yvessirae thought she had won the academic lottery when she was accepted into the prestigious St. Jude’s University. Known for its elite education and world-class quality, the campus is a dream of ivory towers and golden opportunities. But as the sun sets on her very first day, Rae discovers the horrifying truth behind the school’s high graduation rate: at 8:00 PM, the university stops being a school and becomes a deadly playground. The Rules of the Game When the "Midnight Bell" tolls, the school plunges into an unnatural darkness. The doors lock from the inside, and a monstrous entity known as The Seeker begins its hunt. The students are forced into a high-stakes game of Hide-and-Seek. There is only one way to survive the night: find a hidden, cursed artifact—like the Gold Whistle—before the timer hits zero. The Loop If a student is caught or killed by the Seeker, they don't stay dead. Instead, they experience the agonizing "Reset." They wake up in their dorm beds at 7:05 AM, feeling every ounce of the pain from the night before, forced to relive the same day over and over again. Most students have given up, hiding under their beds in a cycle of eternal terror. The Conflict Rae is taken under the wing of two seasoned "players," Maia and Dvora. They reveal that once you enter the gates of St. Jude’s, you can never leave; the school’s curse follows you wherever you go. While Maia and Dvora have grown cynical after countless "deaths," Rae is determined to break the cycle. But as the items become harder to find and the Seeker grows more aggressive, Rae begins to realize that the "Game" isn't just about survival—it’s a puzzle designed to consume their souls. To escape, she must find the one item that actually ended the loop once before... and discover why the person who found it vanished forever.

Heart Full Of Scars

Andrea Paisley has carried scars long before anyone could see them. From the age of six, school was never a safe place. Classmates mocked her, calling her ugly, a monkey, and worse. A strict teacher seemed to hate her for reasons she never understood, turning every school day into something she had to survive rather than live. Years of bullying slowly carved deep wounds into Andrea’s heart, leaving her angry, guarded, and struggling with her mental health. But through the chaos of elementary school, there was one person she could never fully hate. Matthew Neyman. They argued, spread rumors about each other, and clashed constantly—but sometimes, in rare quiet moments, they helped each other. Matthew became Andrea’s first crush, even if their relationship was built more on conflict than kindness. By the time school ended, Andrea tried to bury those feelings and forget him completely… even though part of her never really could. High school is supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, Andrea finds herself facing new battles. Samuel Daňko, her sharp-tongued classmate, seems to hate everything about her—calling her aggressive, cringe, and impossible to deal with. Yet the more they clash, the more complicated their relationship becomes. Then there’s Tom Čonka, the quiet boy she secretly finds attractive. He barely speaks to her, always distant, always out of reach. And the worst part? Matthew, Samuel, and Tom all already have girlfriends. Matthew is dating Vanessa Příhodová, a girl who seems to have everything Andrea never did—beauty, confidence, and love. Andrea begins to believe she’s cursed. Every time she meets someone new at a party in the city and lets herself hope for a moment, the next day reality crushes her again. Love always seems to belong to someone else. But as old memories resurface and new conflicts ignite, Andrea must face the truth about her past, her scars, and the fragile hope that maybe—just maybe—someone out there could still see her heart beneath the pain. Because sometimes the deepest scars are the ones that lead you to the person who understands them.

Craved by the Wrong Volkov

(trigger warning. This book contains mature themes) ****** "I can't..." she gasped between broken moans, her voice trembling somewhere between pain and pleasure. Every thrust seemed to blur the line between surrender and defiance. Then she whispered a name between her sweet cries ...it wasn’t mine. I froze. A slow, humorless smile curved my lips as the sound of his name filled the space between us. “Raph…” she breathed. I leaned in, my mouth brushing her ear. Feeling her tremble from touch until my teeth nibbled her earlobes hard enough to make her whimper and her fold to clench around my fingers. “Wrong name, Lynn.” I hissed, withdrawing from the warmth of her insides. I felt her body tense. She clawed at my shoulders, a desperate plea in every touch. “Don’t…” she whimpered. Those jade-like eyes unravelled me that moment. I could feel the ache in my trousers. A troublesome little viper. A cruel smile traced my lips hiding my emotions. “You called the wrong name,” I murmured, my voice low, dangerous. “And bad girls deserve to be punished.” Her glossy eyes met mine... so full of confusion, want, and power she didn’t yet understand. If she only knew how close I was to breaking. Because the only name she should be calling… was mine. Lucien. I craved it as badly as the air I breathe. ****** For better or for worse, till death do us part. That was their vows at the altar, but her husband broke them first.. He claims an open marriage is the solution to their childless marriage and that it's to protect her own interests. But all Braelyn sees is a prison built from guilt and lies. One heartbroken night, she stumbles into a karaoke bar and into the arms of Lucien. A man shrouded in mystery, rebellion, and danger. His very presence tells her to run but it also gives her the solace she craved. She never expected to see him again after she ran, forgetting his sinful existence, but life wasn't done making a joke out of her. Lucien isn't just any man, but one who can destroy everything she believes in. The man she was never meant to meet. Her husband's uncle The black sheep of the Volkov dynasty. A man whose desire will ruin her. Lucien knows she can't be his, but he was never a man who respected social norms. He doesn't care about anything but her every sin and touch. All he wants… is her, no matter how sinful it gets.
