WHERE TEMPTATION BITES

Ravencrest High looks like a prestigious boarding school, but the truth is far from that. Hidden from humans, it is a training ground for young vampires to master self-control. Humans are enrolled alongside them, because they think it’s just an elite academic program. In reality, their presence keeps the vampires in check, providing occasional feeding opportunities under strict supervision. With the humans completely unaware. Lyra Hale is a new transfer student, hoping for nothing more than a fresh start. She expected a normal school environment. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by students who are weird and secretive. Kieran Black is everything Ravencrest warns against. A high-ranking vampire from one of the oldest bloodlines, he doesn’t believe in the rules meant to keep vampires in line. He sees the humans not as protected guests, but as tempting puzzles, and he can’t resist the effect Lyra has on him from the first moment he notices her. Lyra doesn’t know the truth about the school, the vampires, or Kieran. While she tries to survive in the school, Kieran is drawn to her in ways he can’t fully control. With the school having so much unbendable rules, even the authority can’t be trusted. And the most dangerous person on campus might also be the only one willing to protect her. At Ravencrest, temptation is constant, and love may be the most dangerous mistake of all. `•`•`•|`•`•`•|`•`•`•|`•`•`• [Excerpt] Lyra was halfway down the east corridor, Ravencrest always felt different at night. She hugged her books closer to her chest and stopped when she turned a corner, someone stood at the end of the hall. One foot was propped up behind him, hands in his pockets, head slightly tilted. His eyes locked onto hers, dark and intense, like he had been waiting for her. The hallway suddenly felt smaller and tighter. “Kieran.” “You’re really good at pretending I don’t exist.” “Maybe because you keep showing up where you’re not supposed to be.” His eyes dropped to her lips for half a second before going back to her face. She took a step back as he stepped closer and she froze the second his hand closed over her wrist. Then just as her heart threatened to leap out of her chest, his thumb brushed against the delicate skin of her wrist. His touch sent a shock of warmth through her, a feeling she couldn’t quite figure out no matter how hard she tried. She tried to pull back, but before she could, he tugged her closer and suddenly, the space between them disappeared. Every instinct screamed to push him away, to step back, but she couldn’t. He was just too close. “Kieran…” she whispered, voice trembling. The faintest smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, and those enticing grey eyes that she felt drawn in every second she look at him, like gravity itself had shifted. The way he held her wrist and the way his thumb brushed against them, it was everything but safe. "What are you doing?" "I could kiss you." ***** Cover art is not mine.

Reborn Loaded: The Queen of the Apocalypse

After surviving three brutal years in a post-apocalyptic world, Luo Sui uncovers a devastating truth: her identity was stolen, her powers destroyed, her dimensional space taken, her family wiped out, and her fiancé turned against her — all because of Su Wanwan. Driven to her absolute breaking point, she believes she has lost everything… until fate grants her a second chance. Reborn before the catastrophe unfolds, Luo Sui swears to rewrite her future and never allow Su Wanwan to succeed again. Acting swiftly and strategically, she secures critical supplies, mobilizes two powerful families, and lays the foundation for survival in a collapsing world. As natural disasters erupt, a mysterious plague transforms humans into zombies, and strange creatures roam the land, an enigmatic interface suddenly appears before humanity — a survival system offering both danger and opportunity. Amid the chaos, rumors spread of a striking woman with a brown rose in her hair riding a blazing fox. Others encounter bizarre loot: universal bandages, pumpkin carriages, flying chickens, light-energy weapons, hamster spaces, butterfly wings, and snail dwellings — items that seem broken at first glance. But Luo Sui knows better. The so-called “junk” in her hands hides extraordinary value. Through the system, she trades them for advanced weapons, body-enhancing pills, futuristic vehicles, mechs, medical facilities, and treasures drawn from cultivation realms. With these resources, she begins recruiting future allies and constructing the strongest base the new world has ever seen. Gu Nanyan re-enters her life—alive, powerful, and as cold and dangerous as ever, yet not yet doomed by the trap that once led to his death. This time, Luo Sui approaches him differently. No longer passive or naive, she takes the initiative to form an alliance built on mutual trust, strategic alignment, and unspoken understanding. Gu Nanyan, known for his ruthless efficiency, reveals a restrained gentleness only in her presence. Beneath his calm exterior lies a sharp, calculating mind equal to her own. And this is only the beginning — because the true trials of evolution have yet to arrive.

This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.
