The Gilded Daughters of Ruin

When five powerful American heiresses cross the Atlantic in search of titles, England expects beauty, money, and obedience. It receives none of those things. Rowena Vale arrives at Ashbourne Manor with her fortune carefully guarded and her intentions even more so. A strategic alliance with the cold and calculating Duke Alistair Ashbourne promises security for both their families but Rowena did not come to England merely to marry. She came to secure power. Beside her stand four equally formidable young women: Lucienne Fairrow, whose charm masks a dangerous talent for manipulation; Juniper Locke, reckless and thrilling, hiding debts that could destroy her; Elowen Price, quiet and underestimated, who sees more than she reveals; and Aurelia Dane, sharp-minded and politically driven, sent to England with a mission that reaches far beyond romance. But the London Season is no fairytale. Behind chandeliers and silk gloves lurk financial ruin, political conspiracies, secret societies, poisoned alliances, and men who believe power is their birthright. When a scandal erupts within the walls of Ashbourne Manor, whispers turn to accusations and suspicion falls dangerously close to the American girls who were never meant to survive English high society. As friendships strain under ambition and love becomes a weapon rather than a promise, the five heiresses must decide what they are truly willing to sacrifice: their reputations, their loyalties, or their hearts. Because in England, crowns are not given. They are taken. And sometimes, they are burned.

PHANTOM HOLY MAIDEN: Disciple of Concealed Divinity

Orphaned in infancy, Yue Chan was plucked from tragedy by Elder Yun Ji, the revered Sect Leader of the Moonveil Saint Sect. Raised as his own in the heart of secluded peaks, she was given a name that echoed the moon's quiet grace—and a path of utter isolation. For reasons buried deeper than any disciple dares ask, she never stepped beyond the sect's misty barriers, training in secret under Yun Ji's unwavering guidance. Her cultivation bloomed in silence, far from prying eyes and worldly distractions. At just thirteen, the veil of mystery cracked open during the grand inter-sect battle tournament. Amidst prodigies from every corner of the cultivation world, the unknown girl from Moonveil descended like frost-kissed moonlight. Wielding power that defied her tender age, she claimed victory after victory, her masked face revealing nothing but cold, piercing eyes. The sect's banner flew higher than ever—yet the enigma only deepened. No one had seen her true visage. Whispers spread like wildfire: - Was she concealing a forbidden identity? - Did a curse mar her features beyond recognition? - Or were the scars of some ancient calamity too shameful to unveil? Years passed in seclusion. Yue Chan's strength grew legendary, surpassing even her brilliant martial sisters Huo Yan and Su Mei. She became the sect's silent pinnacle—profound, disciplined, untouchable. Then came Li Haoran. The favored disciple of Thunder Peak Sect, under the watchful eye of Elder Qing Yun—Yun Ji's closest confidant—Li Haoran was everything Yue Chan was not: passionate, chaotic, unapologetically alive. Their first encounter was chance, a fleeting clash of blades and wills during a rare alliance gathering. What began as rivalry thawed something long frozen within her icy core. His reckless warmth chipped at her solitude; her quiet depth steadied his storms. But fate had woven a far greater thread between them. Beneath surface personalities lay a sealed secret—an ancient bond, a shared destiny, perhaps a counterpart forged in forgotten oaths or celestial design. Rivals by sect, yet drawn inexorably together, they uncovered truths that could shatter alliances, awaken dormant powers, or bind their lives in unbreakable fate. Will the masked Supreme Warrior and the thunderous disciple become eternal foes, locked in heavenly conflict? Or will they stand side by side—life and death entwined—to conquer the shadows of their past and claim the destiny that awaits?

The Study Contract

It all started with that one proposal, a deal-turned-bait pulling him into something dark, yet irresistible and inescapable. ____ Ryan Kane is mixed-race, poor, and worst still, in a university where everything screams "silver and gold". He thinks his scholarship and education are his only way to a future better than his present. But this guy's grades aren't helping matters as he keeps juggling between lectures, attendance, and part-time jobs. The lower his grades get, the closer he is to withdrawing, going back to his deadbeat of a father, and having a life with nothing. Well, he absolutely doesn't want a reality like that, and to avert that, his only option was getting a tutor. Ryan’s desperate enough to ask Adrian Val. On campus and to everyone, Adrian is the perfect, well-behaved, brilliant heir to a top conglomerate family. While in private, he is a possessive, manipulative jerk who does a lot of unimaginable things. When Ryan proposes tutoring to him, Adrian offers that he pay with his body instead. To him, Ryan can't afford his time and knowledge with just his measly bucks. Ryan says yes to the offer, and along the line, he falls heavily for Adrian. But even when Adrian rejects his confession and treats him like a toy way worse than before, Ryan doesn't leave. He wants the tutoring, the intimacy, the sex, his persistent feelings for Adrian, and the tiny hope that Adrian's heart may steer towards him. It gets even messier when Adrian’s friend Liam enters the picture. Liam is calm, kind, and actually cares about Ryan, but he holds back his feelings to keep the peace. Then there is also Chase, a rich troublemaker who openly flirts with Ryan. Trapped in a dirty cycle of sex, love, and heartbreak, everything Ryan had and held dear to him came tumbling gradually. And by the time he realizes the depth of it, it is too late. Too late to even hold onto anything. Only to be caught between three powerful men who all want a piece of him for different reasons. ____ Years later, the campus gates are closed and Ryan has built a life for himself away from the shadows of Westhill. But his new career brings him face to face with the man that once broke him...

You're hinting to me... hinting that I kissed you!" My composure didn't budge; instead, I tilted my head to the side and looked at her with a gaze shrouded in mischief, then said with utter simplicity: "And what is the problem with that? It was just a kiss." -------------------- She waved her hand with bitter irony: "Are you the one who's going to protect me from him?" I nodded, confirming: "Yes."

The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover

[COMPLETED] Evelyn Walters was the perfect heiress, until one reckless night with her father’s greatest enemy ruined everything. Pregnant, disgraced, and cast out of the Walters family, she left with nothing but her unborn child. Years later, she's survived. But as a single mother, the life she built was fragile until the man from her past discovered the truth. Now he wants her and his son. But how can Evelyn trust the father of her child... when he's also the enemy of the man who raised her? **** Excerpt: "B-Boss... the woman you slept with that night... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed," Dylan stammered, his voice trembling. Axel's brow furrowed even further. He tried digging through the hazy, alcohol-soaked memories of that night.  Of course, he remembered the party. He remembered the whiskey. But the woman? Nope. His brain served up a blank slate. "Who was she?" Dylan swallowed. "The first daughter of William Walters." "Cough! Cough!" Axel coughed violently, his face turning red and eyes wide with shock. He never thought that woman would end up in his bed.  --- Curiosity won, as always. Evelyn grabbed the remote and hit the power button. The screen lit up, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, as if the Grim Reaper himself had just stepped out of the TV to ask for her phone number. “What the…? Why does my personal source of misery pop up the second I turn this thing on?” Because there he was, Axel Knight, gliding out of his luxury car like some corporate deity on his way to a business banquet. Evelyn scrambled for the remote to turn it off, but of course, fate had other plans. Axel turned to the camera and gave a casual wave, acknowledging the paparazzi vultures lined up outside. She hated to admit it, but the man looked sinfully good in his signature black suit and high turtleneck, his sleek black hair framing a face that could stop traffic and quite possibly her breathing. Then, suddenly, her stomach clenched. Her hand instinctively rubbed her flat belly. “Little tenant, did you just say you recognize him?”
