Legacy of Ash

Ten years ago, the Thorne empire didn’t just collapse—it screamed. Sloane Thorne was only eighteen when she stood on the manicured lawn of her family estate and watched the person she loved most—her father, Silas—consumed by a fire that turned her world to cinder. The man standing next to her as the roof caved in was Arthur Vane, her father’s protégé and the man who would spend the next decade building a trillion-dollar kingdom on the charred remains of the Thorne patents. The Vengeance: Now, Sloane is back. She hasn't spent the last decade grieving; she’s spent it climbing. As a ruthless venture capitalist, she has played a high-stakes game of financial chess to corner Arthur Vane. In a single, cold-blooded boardroom coup, she buys his debt, seizes his tower, and prepares to erase his name from history. Her goal is simple: total professional and personal annihilation of the man who stole her future. The Twist: But as the "Vane" signs are ripped from the walls, the earth at the old Thorne estate begins to give up its secrets. A new excavation reveals a second set of remains, turning a tragic accident into a double homicide investigation. Suddenly, the narrative Sloane has fed her soul for ten years begins to fracture. The Trap: Arthur Vane isn't the cowering villain she expected. He is a man haunted by a truth he’s kept behind a wall of silence. When Sloane forces him into a humiliating "consultancy" role to watch his own downfall, she unwittingly traps herself in a web of shifting loyalties. As they are forced into a toxic, magnetic proximity, Sloane discovers that the "villain" may have been her protector—and the "victim" she worshipped might have been the architect of his own destruction. The Legacy: With a shadowy third party watching their every move and a "Ghost" from the past threatening to reclaim the empire, Sloane and Arthur must decide if they will continue to burn each other down or unite to face the true monster waiting in the smoke. In a world where wealth is a weapon and love is a liability, the only thing more dangerous than a secret is the person willing to die for it.

You make me want to be me. I love your snarky replies and comebacks, I love the way you blush when you are around me, I love how nervous you get when you’re around me … “ “ I don’t get nervous around you “ I lied, my voice betraying me a bit. “ You do “ he smiled “ like right now, your heart is beating really fast “ He took my hand in his placing it flat against his chest. Underneath my palm, his heart was thundering — faster than mine. “ it’s okay. You make me nervous too “ he murmured leaning in, he pressed a soft lingering kiss on my forehead that made my toes curls. He rested his head against mine a pure look of vulnerability crossing his eyes. “ I’m falling for you Ophelia so please give me a chance “

MY RUIN: In Love With My Step-Uncle

But a lost bet with her mother sends her away from a marvelous weekend trip to Mykonos and into the dusty attic of her family’s decaying ancestral manor. The catch was her inheritance. Her task? A dreary clear-out. Her discovery? A centuries-old diary belonging to her great-grandmother, Eleanor Thorne. The ink tells a story of a forgotten history. Eleanor’s forbidden obsession with her guardian and step-uncle, Casimir Guggenheim, a ruthless railroad tycoon with a heart of stone. But when Clara touches the tear-stained pages, the scent of crushed gardenias doesn’t just fill the room, it drags her back to 1879. Trapped in Eleanor’s corseted body, Clara finds herself under the roof of the very man who haunted the diary. To the world, Casimir is a cold, untouchable magnate.
