The Wine-Blood Cure

Ivy Violet

Valeria survived twelve years as The Venom-Bound, a living antidote bred in the poison dungeons of The Crimson Empire. When the empire falls to the armies of The Frostfell Kingdom, its ruthless Lord Regent, Alaric, discovers that her wine-scented blood can quiet the ancient curse eating away at his heart. Dragged to Shadowfall Citadel and bound to him as his living remedy, Valeria refuses to be anything less than human -- demanding a name, a place at his table, a shred of dignity. By day, Alaric is the Beast of Frostfell, a tyrant feared across two kingdoms. By moonlight, he is a dying man clawing for the only mercy he has left: her touch. As the curse tightens and old betrayals resurface, Valeria and Alaric are forced to confront the truth neither will say aloud -- that healing each other might cost them everything they have left to lose. A dark fantasy romance about two weapons of other men's wars, learning that love is not a transaction.

Sentenced to Brilliance

Ivy Pixie

In the fog-drenched empire of Valerand, where gothic spires pierce a sky thick with arcane sorcery, a modern criminal profiler awakens inside the body of Vivian Voss — a villainess condemned to death for the alleged poisoning of the Crown Prince. Armed with nothing but twenty-first century psychology and a Black Dossier system inherited from the body's original soul, she must do what no court sorcerer has managed: profile the true killer before the Grand Arbiter's verdict seals her fate. That arbiter is Gavin Blackthorn — a disgraced prince turned empire's most ruthless judge, whose heterochromatic eyes can detect any lie ever spoken. He sees through every deception in the realm. Every deception, except hers. As each murder case pulls them deeper into the shadow of the Church's most dangerous conspiracy, the line between adversary and ally dissolves — and the most perilous thing either of them will ever face is not a nameless killer, but the moment they allow the other to truly see them. In a world that sentences the wicked to death, brilliance may be the only crime worth committing.

Heartbeats in the Blackwood

Morgan Forest

In the mist-shrouded Blackwood forest, Valerie Vane — the cold, young leader of the outlaw band Shadow Band — kidnaps Elena Thorne, a warm-hearted herbalist, as part of a scheme against a corrupt nobleman. When Valerie's father is captured by the Governor's forces, she is forced to flee deep into the forest with Elena as her only companion. Disguised as lovers, hunted at every turn, and bound by survival, the line between captor and captive begins to blur. As danger strips away every defense, two wounded souls discover that the most forbidden thing in the Blackwood is not the outlaws who hide within it — but the love growing between them.

Moon Sequence

hwahwachan

In the coastal city of Valmere, where glass towers mirror a silver bay and light installations pass for dreams, Elara Voss — a young lighting designer who vanished from the art world after a stage accident — is hired to resurrect The Moonwell, an abandoned glass hotel perched on a cliff. Her employer is Adrien Solace: cold, controlled, and never photographed. He wants the hotel restored before it is demolished. What he does not tell her is that his sister disappeared inside its walls ten years ago, during a light show not unlike the one Elara is being asked to create. As Elara installs mirrors, reflective glass, and low-frequency sound across the hotel, strange images begin to surface — shadows beneath water, an unfinished melody, words etched in light: don't trust the moon. Between the radiant city and the cold nights at sea, Elara and Adrien uncover that The Moonwell was never haunted. It has been holding a truth staged too perfectly to question. To find it, they will have to stop controlling what the light reveals — and let themselves be seen in the dark.

Pretty Enough to Be Loved

In Aster Veil, a city where beauty is scored, livestreamed, and sold by the click, Lenora Veyne, a formulation chemist who once endured brutal body shaming, becomes the science face of Porcelain Bloom, a cosmetic line that promises to turn women into a more lovable, porcelain-perfect version of themselves. Her rival is Caelan Vale, heir to a competing Beauty House built on the philosophy of caring for the body instead of punishing it. When their public feud is twisted into a million-dollar romance storyline, Lenora must choose between the crown she once craved, a man who loves her quietly, a man who chooses her loudly as a performance, and the right to be loved without becoming a flawless product.

Pure Heresy

jNothel

The Arbiter of the Sanguine Order has spent his life enforcing the blood laws he was born to protect — sacrificing everything that made him human to keep the dynasty intact. Vera Sinclair has spent hers being the perfect vessel of purity, accepting a fate she was never asked to choose. When the inherited blood contract between them is activated, neither expects the other to be the one thing the Order cannot legislate against. As an enemy weaponizes the very law Caine enforces to tear Vera away from him, they must choose: uphold the purity that has always been their cage, or commit the one act the Order calls unforgivable. Love, in a world built on bloodlines, is pure heresy.

Where Broken Things Bloom

rosier_hn

Elara Ashworth has learned one lesson well: love is a trap. Betrayed and discarded by the man she once trusted, the blue-eyed, honey-voiced daughter of a fading noble house arrives at the altar of King Alaric Konstantin von Veldoria not as a willing bride, but as a woman bracing for the next wound. Alaric, sovereign of the small but formidable kingdom of Veldoria, has his own scars — a childhood spent watching his mother wither inside a cold and loveless marriage taught him that emotion is weakness, and weakness is danger. When his grandfather's dying wish binds them together, two broken people must learn to share a palace, a name, and eventually, a life. He will not force her heart. She will not offer it freely. But the king is patient, and the walls she has built, however high, were never meant to stand forever. As shadows from Elara's past return to threaten everything she has only just begun to trust, Alaric must choose between the crown he was born to wear and the woman he was never supposed to love — and Elara must decide whether the man standing between her and destruction is her greatest danger, or her only hope of healing.

Before Spring Goes Quiet

daydreamer

When sound conservation student Sera Lin — quietly losing her hearing to a progressive condition she refuses to name aloud — sets out to record one hundred sounds of spring before her world goes silent, the last thing she needs is Riku Han. He is loud, clumsy, and responsible for destroying the most irreplaceable recording she owns. But the debt he offers to repay pulls them into each other’s orbits: through rain-soaked afternoons and festival rehearsals, late nights in the repair lab and arguments on a blue-tiled stairway, through the particular cruelty of almost and the harder work of staying. Riku must learn that love is not a design problem. Sera must learn that being known is not the same as being pitied. And spring, which has never once waited for anyone to be ready, keeps arriving anyway.

What He Never Said

white_rose

Su Wanqing clawed her way out of the dark, out of depression, out of the wreckage her family was left with, and swore she would never hit rock bottom again. All she needs now is the job that keeps her alive. What she does not count on is that the company's untouchable CEO is Lu Jingheng: the man who once loved her, then shattered her with a staged affair and words cruel enough to end everything. Six years later he is colder than ever, and Wanqing has no intention of forgiving a traitor. But as their clashes soften into something quieter, she begins to notice the cracks in his cruelty, and to suspect that the betrayal that broke her was never what it seemed. Behind Lu Jingheng's silence lies a bargain he struck with his own family to protect her, a truth he would rather let her hate him for than reveal. In a world of arranged engagements, boardroom betrayals, and a powerful clan that will burn anything to keep control, Wanqing learns that some sacrifices are not devotion, they are a cage. A slow-burn, second-chance office romance about the difference between being protected and being trusted.
