Thirteen Sins, One Truth

"Thirteen innocents must die for one guilty soul." Detective Sienna Cross has seen her share of darkness, but nothing prepared her for this—a chilling manifesto given in blood at the city's most high-profile crime scene. As bodies pile up, each victim seemingly unconnected, Sienna races against time to understand a killer's twisted logic. But her investigation collides with chaos when her childhood best friend Maya becomes the personal bodyguard for Celeste Moreau—a firebrand feminist activist whose national tour has sparked violent protests and death threats. What should be two separate cases becomes a nightmare when Sienna learns the victims all share one terrible secret: they were complicit in a crime that destroyed countless lives, including someone Maya and Sienna both knew. Enter Damien Kade—the enigmatic CEO of Luxe Security, the elite company protecting Celeste. Cold, calculating, and carrying secrets darker than the cases Sienna examines, Damien becomes both her most valuable ally and her most dangerous distraction. He knows more about the killings than he should, and his obsessive interest in Sienna goes beyond professional courtesy. As the body count hits thirteen and the final victim's identity is revealed, Sienna must face a devastating truth: the line between detective and accomplice, between justice and murder, is thinner than she ever imagined. And the person she's been hunting might be the person she's been protecting all along. Sometimes the deadliest weapon isn't a gun—it's the truth you've been running from your entire life.

Because Victoria's obsession runs deeper and deadlier than anyone thought, and she won't let Damien go—even if it means burning everything to the ground. Some loves are worth dying for. Some secrets are worth killing for.

Author here. This is my first original story, and only the second piece I’ve ever written—the first being a fanfic that some of you might remember. Now, I’m excited to finally take a shot at writing a full-fledged novel. I truly hope you enjoy reading it, and I’d love to hear your thoughts along the way. P.S. I don't know why, but I can't add Action in the tag list, and I am only gonna be posting 2-3 chapters a week for now.. because things are a really tight financially. Between college expenses and looking for part-time work, it's been quite a challenge. But hopefully, one day, I’ll be able to commission an artist to bring the cover to life. Thanks for understanding!

The Warrior Who Loved Me First

In the coastal city of Nhemba the river meets the sea and every tide brings a new secret. Kairo is the city commander who has trained himself to be a shield, a man whose silence keeps lives intact and whose hands know how to hold danger steady. Lila is a refugee healer who arrived with only a satchel and a stubborn hope, a woman who reads the body like a map and stitches broken things back together. When a merchant cart overturns at the eastern gate it looks like rotten wood and bad luck. Kairo notices a deliberate cut, and Lila recognizes a rare toxin in the spilled grain. The accident is the spark that reveals a conspiracy reaching into the court, a plot that could shatter Nhemba and set old rivalries ablaze. Ordered to investigate, Kairo and Lila form an uneasy alliance. He brings strategy and steel, she brings knowledge and unexpected courage. Neither trusts the other at first, and both hide pieces of a past that could undo what they are trying to save. As they chase clues through salt-stained docks, shadowed warehouses, and opulent council rooms, their partnership deepens into something neither planned. Lila discovers that her past harbors a secret tied to the poison, and Kairo must face betrayals he buried long ago. The city tests them with betrayals, public scandal, and a coup that forces private loyalties into public choice. The Warrior Who Loved Me First is a slow burn romance about duty and surrender, about two people who learn that guarding a city is nothing compared to guarding a heart. Against a backdrop of political intrigue and Afrofantasy court life, Kairo and Lila must decide if love is a vulnerability to hide or the strength they will use to save Nhemba. The final choice will ask everything of them, and whatever they give will change the city forever.

Married To The Mad Vampire Lord

His lips hovered near her ear, his voice a dark whisper against her skin. "You may fear me, little bride, but I will teach your body to crave me… to need me, until I am all you ever want." --- Belle was never meant to be the bride. But when her parents cried to her about how her beautiful sister could not be married to such a man, she was forced to take her sister’s place. To prevent war between the two worlds of humans and vampires, the kings decided to sign a peace treaty with a marriage, but the only man they could offer for this marriage was a vampire said to be mad and completely heartless. When they said heartless, they meant really heartless, but Belle, being a naive girl her whole life, had no idea what she was stepping into by agreeing to this marriage. At first, he appeared innocent, a man completely opposite to all the rumors around him, until she slowly began to realize every single thing said about the mad vampire was true, or perhaps even worse! He was a man who walked in the path of darkness. He knew no light and showed no mercy, even to those who were not his enemies. He had no heart to love, no emotions but dark ones to feel for anything or anyone. But all of a sudden, when he set his eyes on her, he decided he wanted to keep her, and Belle's naive world began to take a different turn because the mad vampire was hellbent on tainting her innocent soul. Expect "Now, can we forget this happened and enjoy the night?" He arched an amused brow at her, making Belle's heart drop to her stomach as she recalled the so-called wedding night. She hurriedly pulled away from him, her face flaming with embarrassment. From everything she had heard about this night, she was not ready to experience it with this man. The women whispering about it in Mr. Marchant's shop had said one would hate their husband's presence after it and be disgusted by the act. It was not an act meant for pleasure for any woman but torture. Now that she realized her husband would do the same with her, she swallowed hard and nervously clutched her dress. "I...I am not feeling well, My Lord, I—" "Rohan," he cut her off with a tone of amusement. "Use my name when you address me, sweetheart. You looked quite energetic when you tried to go after the ring for someone who isn't feeling well, but," he sighed softly, "I've always been a generous man. I won't let you stress yourself tonight." Belle began to sigh in relief and smile in her mind that he wouldn't push her for the wedding night ceremony. She was even about to part her lips and agree that he was indeed generous and even offer him a thank you when he continued to speak, causing the momentary relief to be replaced by dread. "I will pamper you tonight, and you won’t have to lift a hand. I will give you all the pleasure since you are feeling unwell. Take it as the first lesson in my plan to make you forget love and welcome lust." "...!" "Lie on the bed for me, Isa." Belle felt her throat go dry at that strict command. "I...I..." She began but could not find any words to say to make him spare her tonight. What had she got herself into? Belle thought as a pit seemed to form in her stomach, a deep, gnawing dread. "Do you need me to carry you to the bed, or would you rather walk there yourself?" Rohan questioned with dark mirth in his voice and eyes as he watched her like a hawk. He could tell she was nervous, but what to do? She had brought herself into his world. Belle began to walk slowly to the bed at a snail’s pace, as if delaying it would help prevent the dreadful act from happening tonight. She could feel him following closely behind her. When she reached the bed, she used her shaky hands to move the drapes aside and carefully sat at the edge of it, her hands folded nervously on her lap. She felt his piercing gaze on her, but she dared not look up at him. "Lie down," he ordered softly. MATURE CONTENT, NO RAPE!!
