Introduction
He ruined hers.
Now they have another chance, but a secret could tear them apart.
Aria Blake is a new maid, unnoticed by the rich and powerful. But when tech billionaire Damian Cross is attacked at home, she's the one who finds him barely alive. She saves him, then vanishes.
The next day, she's fired for something she didn't do. She's silenced, embarrased and sent away.
Damian wakes up remembering a scent of lavender and a voice that told him to live. Nobody knows who saved him, but he can't forget her. He finally finds her.
One night together changes everything.
When Aria finds out she's pregnant, Damian wants her to marry him for the baby. But his angry ex-girlfriend will do anything to get rid of her, and Damian's own secrets might be the most dangerous of all.
She was the woman he never expected.
Now she's the only one he wants.
Chapter 1
Chapter One
"Are you sure you'll be okay with Mrs. Donnelly?" Aria asked for the fourth time.
Lucy playfully rolled her eyes. "She's really old, Aria. I think I can handle her."
Aria smiled, but felt a pang in her heart. "Don't bother her too much. And don't forget your medicine. I left it by the sink. I also packed extra soup in the freezer."
"I'll be fine. You'll be gone for five days, not forever."
Aria swallowed hard. "As soon as I get paid, I'll send money. I promise. Right away."
Lucy leaned her head on Aria's shoulder. "Just come visit on Saturday. If you're not too busy being Cinderella for rich people."
Aria chuckled. "Only if they give me a pumpkin carriage."
The bus stopped suddenly at a big gate with iron bars. A security camera turned towards them. The driver didn't wait.
"End of the line," he grunted.
Aria got off, pulling her backpack onto one arm and holding Lucy's hand with the other.
A speaker buzzed near the gate. "Your name?"
"Aria Blake," Aria answered. "I'm here for the live-in maid job."
There was a short silence. Then the gate slowly opened, showing a long stone path with bushes and statues that looked like they belonged in a museum.
Aria turned to Lucy and hugged her tight. "Text me every morning and night, okay? And if anything happens, anything at all, call Mrs. Donnelly or me."
"Go," Lucy whispered. "You earned this."
Aria took a deep breath and walked into a world where she didn't feel like she belonged.
The Cross house looked even bigger up close. A three-story building made of glass and stone stood over her as she walked to the door. The marble steps were wet from the rain as she reached for the golden doorbell.
The door opened before she could touch it.
A tall, serious woman with gray hair in a bun looked at her with disapproval.
"You're late," the woman said. "You were expected twenty minutes ago."
"I'm sorry," Aria said quickly. "The bus..."
"No excuses."
The woman moved aside, letting Aria in.
"I'm Ms. Fletcher. House manager. You'll do what I say, not what the agency told you. Do you understand?"
Aria nodded. "Yes, ma'am."
The entrance hall was huge and echoed as she followed Ms. Fletcher across the shiny marble floor. Two bright chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and a curved staircase went up like something from a dream.
"Your work will be in the guest rooms on the second floor and the kitchens downstairs," Ms. Fletcher said quickly. "You won't go into any rooms you're not told to. You won't talk to guests unless they talk to you first. And you absolutely cannot go into the West Wing."
"The West Wing?" Aria asked.
Ms. Fletcher gave her a sharp look. "That's Mr. Cross's private area. The last girl who went too close was fired without a good reference."
Aria's stomach dropped. "Understood."
They passed a tall door made of dark wood, different from the others. It had black trim and no handle. It looked like a silent warning.
"Just do your jobs, keep your head down, and this will be easy."
Easy. Right.
Her room was small but clean. It had a bed, a dresser, and one lamp on a small desk. A closet held uniforms neatly inside. For someone who shared a small apartment with her sister, it felt like a fancy hotel.
She sat on the edge of the bed, letting the quiet settle in. She took out her phone and quickly texted Lucy:
Made it. This place is crazy. Will text you after dinner. Love you.
The reply came almost right away:
Send pics if you can! Eat something fancy! And sleep. You never sleep.
Aria smiled, then got up to unpack. She had no idea what was waiting for her in this house. But she had gotten through worse before.
Aria was unpacking her little suitcase, neatly folding her clothes into the dresser, when this faint noise broke the quiet of her room. It was a low, rhythmic creak, like footsteps on old wood, coming from right above her. She totally froze, her hands just hanging over a sweater. The creaking stopped, then started up again, sounding closer, like someone was walking around just past the thin walls of her room.
She looked at the door, kinda expecting Ms. Fletcher to burst in with another lecture. But the hallway outside was dead silent, and the chandeliers' light barely peeked under her door. The creaking got louder, and now there was this soft, barely-there whisper, like someone mumbling words she couldn't quite make out.
Aria's phone buzzed on the bed, making her jump. It was a text from some random number:
“Stay out of the West Wing. He's watching.”
Outside, the rain started hammeri
ng down harder, and the lights in her room flickered for a second, then went out completely, leaving her in total darkness.

Shanti needs Shakti. (Peace needs strength.)
Where the Ice Gives Way is a slow-burn YA paranormal romance filled with fated mates, protective alpha energy, fierce sibling loyalty, found family pack bonds, hurt/comfort, and quiet, aching tension. It’s a story about first belonging, learning to be cared for, and what happens when the girl who has always held everyone else up finally falls, and someone catches her.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
The mafia princess return
Human Capture (Up North #2)
Raised in a starving settlement choked by a vast, unforgiving forest, Lara learned early that survival has a price. To keep her family alive, she became a master hunter—agile, silent, and deadly with an array of mismatched blades. But the forest has eyes, and one evening, the shadows dragged her away.
Nine months later, Lara breaks free from a concrete dungeon, only to find herself stranded in the lawless, rogue-infested wilds of Avers Land alongside four captured werewolf girls. Seeking refuge in the neighboring territory of Illyen, she expects to find a way back to her human life. Instead, she is brought face-to-face with Alpha Rowan, the terrifying, ruthless ruler of the frozen North.
One look into Lara’s eyes, and the Alpha’s world shatters. His eyes turn an absolute shade of black. The bond is undeniable. She is his fated mate.
But a human cannot survive the brutal political landscape of the North, and Rowan openly rejects the bond, dragging her onto a warship bound for a kingdom that views her as a fragile liability. Trapped between a mate who refuses to love her and a court of monsters waiting for her to break, Lara must use every hunter's instinct she possesses. Because in the realm of wolves, a human must either grow claws of her own—or perish in the snow.
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
