Heart’s Secret

In the beautiful city of Eldrida, Angelina "Lina" Johnson finds her passion as a gifted perfumery scout and marketer for the prestigious Aurum Scents. Under the mentorship of its powerful yet principled CEO, Carter Hayes, she believes she has found her perfect place. But Lina's life turns upside down when she draws the gaze of a far more dangerous titan. Daniel Viggo, the ruthless CEO of Vega Corporation and shadow chairman of the monolithic Blackwood Enterprises, is a man forged in trauma. Three years after his mother was murdered by a woman with an angelic face, he has hardened into a predator who despises all who remind him of her. In Lina, he sees the living, breathing replica of his ghost. Consumed by obsession, he is determined to make her suffer through professional sabotage, psychological warfare, and personal violation—punishing her simply for existing. Carter Hayes, Lina's boss and protector, quickly realizes his brightest talent has been targeted by a man whose power dwarfs his own. Though CEO of Aurum, Carter is outmatched by Viggo's vast empire. He vows to shield Lina, but his ability to help has limits, and every move to protect her risks his own company. Caught in this high-stakes crossfire, Lina's turmoil deepens with the return of Lucas, a steadfast love from her high school past. He offers a sanctuary of genuine affection and a chance at a normal life—a stark contrast to the gilded cage of fear she now inhabits. Now, Lina is trapped in the middle: tormented by an untouchable tyrant who wants to break her, protected by a guardian who might not be strong enough to save her, and tempted by a love that promises an escape she may never reach. To survive, she must uncover the truth behind Daniel's vendetta and find a strength as potent as the rarest perfume—before her career, spirit, and heart are shattered by the man who sees her not as a person, but as a ghost to be destroyed. Heart Secret is a tale of obsession, resilience, and corporate intrigue, where the most precious secrets are those buried within the human heart.

SCENT OF THE DEAD

Everyone warned Fabiola about Evan Harlow. The strange boy with the cold eyes. The one who never smiled. The one whose twin brother drowned when they were thirteen and who came back from that lake different. But Fabiola didn't listen. She saw past the rumors, past the walls he built, past the darkness that clung to him like a second skin. She pursued him through high school, loved him through college, and married him despite the whispers that the Harlow estate was cursed. Now, at twenty-nine, Fabiola lives in that sprawling Gothic mansion as the wife of a CEO. She works at a diner by choice, keeps fresh flowers in every room, and fills the silence with warmth and laughter. She thinks she's won. She thinks she saved him. She has no idea that Evan's twin never left. Lucas Harlow has been watching her for years. Waiting in mirrors. Breathing in doorways. Learning the way she moves, the sound of her voice, the scent of vanilla and lavender that clings to her skin. He looks exactly like Evan—same face, same voice, same touch. And when Evan isn't looking, Lucas takes his place. He kisses her in the kitchen while Evan is at work. He makes love to her in the dark while she whispers Evan's name. He wraps himself in her warmth, desperate and starving, because she is everything he lost when he died. Fabiola thinks her husband is simply passionate. Possessive. Obsessed with the way she smells, the way she tastes. She doesn't realize that sometimes the man touching her has no heartbeat. That sometimes the man she's kissing has been dead for sixteen years. But Lucas is growing bolder. And Evan is starting to notice. Bruises Fabiola doesn't remember. Conversations Evan never had. Moments of tenderness that feel just slightly wrong too desperate, too hungry, too cold. When Fabiola finally learns the truth, she's faced with an impossible horror: the ghost who's been making love to her is in love with her. And the blood pact the twins made as children is still binding. If she chooses Lucas even once, even accidentally Evan will die. Caught between two identical men one living, one dead, both madly obsessed with her. Fabiola must untangle a web of desire, obsession, and supernatural jealousy before she loses them both. Or before she can no longer tell them apart.

The Twin Alphas' Broken Mate

WARNING: DARK ROMANCE "Who knew that something so beautiful could come out of Edmund." He says, as he runs the backs of his fingers up and down my bare skin. Goosebumps spring up immediately. "Who would have imagined," he says slowly, savoring every word, "that something so exquisite could be born from a man as vile as your father." His eyes trace me with deliberate leisure, stripping, measuring. I felt skinned under his gaze. "A rapist," he continues lightly, as if reciting lines from a book. "A butcher of children. A coward who kills pregnant women and plunges his weapon into a friend's back." He stepped closer. Too close. "And yet," he murmurs, voice dropping, "he left this behind." His smile sharpened. I can't move. I can't breathe. "You should be grateful," he goes on, almost kindly. "If you had been born uglier, I would have killed you like the rest." A pause, then his hands on my cheek, gentle. "But beauty like yours," he adds, eyes darkening, "is worth breaking slowly." * What is worse than being rejected once? Being rejected two more times. Xira Valeen is a defective wolf who never thought she would get a mate. So when she is mated by one who only wants her for her birthright while his brother only wants her because she rises an uncontrollable hunger in him, she is doubtful. Then they reject her, she accepts quietly. Their enemy steps up and claims her as a mate just to use her against her former mates then he also rejects her. Three times she is rejected. Shunned and alone, Xira disappears and when she returns all three Alphas kneel before her, begging for forgiveness and swearing that they want and love only her. Hardened by their betrayal, she ignores them and joins the Mating Hunt, intent on finding the mate who can save her... However, the Moon goddess sure has a cruel sense of humor, or can this time be different?

To Love A River

In a dystopian future where Vampires emerged from the shadows in order to stop humanity from becoming extinct, a young woman with a dark past meets a charismatic stranger. As time goes by Private Love Aikawa of military Unit 4-7, finds that she may not be as human as she first thought. Battling rogue vampires, mutated creatures and her own past, Love works to unravel the mysteries behind the secretive Helsing unit, and tries to become the bridge between humans and vampires in a world filled with discrimination. This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and the early world and character building, BUT everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts. So, I hope you stick with it and enjoy the wild ride! I also added some song recommendations along the way to listen to whilst you read certain chapters, I hope this helps boost the experience. Public Spotify playlist titles (all under the name LouLou): TLAR - Book 1 TLAR - Book 2 TLAR - Book 3 TLAR - A Fire in Their Wake This is rated 'No one under 17 permitted' for (very) mature themes, including drug use, SA, LGBTQ+ discrimination, very frequent strong language, violence etc. Please note that no storyline is chosen for shallow shock value, and most are taken from personal experience, and hopefully handled with the care, respect and sensitivity they deserve. Disclaimers are added against any chapter that may cause distress. Tip Jar + updates and some extra content: https://ko-fi.com/loulou2 The majority of Volume 1, in a different order and edited as a full novel is available free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/Loulou2
