THE PRINCE IN MY VEIN

In a forgotten village where ancient rituals still breathe beneath the soil, a young girl is born with a rare and feared gift—the ability to see, summon, and speak to souls. In her family, this power appears once in every generation, passed down like a secret curse. She knows the rules of the soul world well: summon carefully, release quickly, and never let a soul stay too long inside a living body. But when her brother dies suddenly, grief shatters discipline. Desperate to see him one last time, she performs a forbidden ritual to summon his soul from the soul world. The ritual fails. Instead, she calls forth a powerful and unfamiliar presence—the soul of an ancient king who ruled the land a hundred years ago and died in a brutal war. The king’s soul is proud, commanding, and unwilling to obey. Bound by the laws of the soul world, he can walk freely only at night. By day, he must reside in a human body—or vanish forever. Left with no choice, the girl becomes his vessel. As days pass, the village begins to change. The girl grows weaker, haunted by whispers and strange visions. The king, feeling life again after a century of death, begins to question his past, his crown, and the fate that bound him to war. Between shared memories and silent nights, an impossible bond begins to form—one that defies the laws of both worlds. Now bound by love and threatened by destiny, the girl must face a choice that could alter both worlds forever, while the king must decide whether holding on is worth the cost of her life. "The prince in my vein" is a haunting tale of forbidden love, ancient curses, and secrets buried between life and death—where every ritual has a consequence, and some love stories are never meant to end in the world of the living.

The Beast Redemption

Seven years. That's how long Thalia gave Garrett everything, her heart, her loyalty, her entire future. All for a man who whispered promises while she worked overtime to surprise him with a Porsche he'd never deserve. One overheard conversation. One dropped key. One mocking laugh through a restaurant door. That's all it took for Thalia to discover the truth: her fiancé had been using her as a convenient replacement while his real love lived her dream life in Paris. While Thalia saved every penny for five years to buy him that car, Garrett was defiling their bed with Lyra. While she believed his lies about "just catching up with old friends," he was laughing about how desperate and pathetic she was. While she stood at Lyra's party with his handprint burning on her cheek, he was chasing after the woman he actually wanted. But Garrett made one fatal mistake, he had no idea who Thalia's brother really was. The boy she ran away from nine years ago? He's now the most powerful mafia king in the country. That protective brother who once took the hits meant for her? He's built an empire where betrayal means death and family means everything. Now Thalia's back home, stepping into a world of private jets, armed enforcers, and blood-soaked loyalty. A world where her brother would massacre anyone who threatens her. A world where his enigmatic right-hand man has been carrying a torch for her for ten years. Garrett thought he was playing games with a broken girl. He has no idea he just started a war with a king. And in this world, betrayal has consequences that last forever.

The Tenant in Room 7

"You think you can hide from what you did? I know everything." Ethan Cross has lost everything—his job, his reputation, his future. Drowning in debt from loan sharks who won't stop calling, he's forced to rent out a room in the house he can barely afford to keep. He just needs to survive long enough to figure a way out of the hole he's dug himself into. Then she arrives. Vivienne Ashford is beautiful, mysterious, and unsettlingly calm. She pays three months' rent upfront in cash, asks no questions, and moves into Room 7 with nothing but a single suitcase. She should be the answer to his prayers. Instead, she becomes his nightmare. Strange noises echo through the walls at night. A rotting stench seeps from beneath her door that no amount of cleaning can erase. The neighbors whisper and stare, their eyes filled with suspicion and fear. And Vivienne—she watches him with knowing eyes, as if she can see straight through to the darkest corner of his soul. Because she knows his secret. The one he buried three years ago. The one that destroyed an innocent life. As Ethan's world spirals into paranoia and terror, he realizes Vivienne isn't just a tenant—she's a reckoning. But the closer he gets to uncovering why she's really there, the more he discovers that she's carrying her own devastating secrets. Secrets that link them in ways he never imagined. Some debts can't be paid with money. Some sins demand a different price. And some women are willing to burn the whole world down to get justice—or die trying. In a twisted game of cat and mouse where guilt, obsession, and forbidden desire collide, Ethan must decide: face the truth that will destroy him, or protect the woman who came to ruin him. Because sometimes, the person who knows your worst sin becomes the only one who can save you.
