He didn't just buy her book. He bought her. Amelia signed away her creativity for two million dollars and a monster's smile. Now her brother is in London—disappearing into a black van, his blood rewriting itself with powers she can't explain. The monster is at her door. "Get your coat. We leave immediately." His eyes say more. You're mine. You've always been mine. And I will burn the world to keep you. She follows him into the snow—because he knows where Max is, because she has no choice, and because the darkest part of her doesn't want to escape. He was never meant to fall in love. She was never meant to stay. But some monsters don't break down your door. They wait for you to open it. And the worst part? You want to.

Patron – $9.99 per month
1. The Patron tier is not an upgrade; it is a covenant between a writer who bleeds onto the page and a reader who refuses to look away.
2. You receive everything granted to the Supporter, and then I unlock the drawer that holds what I do not yet trust the public to see.
3. Every month, you will receive one complete, exclusive short story set in my established worlds or a liminal space never before published — yours alone, never released to free readers.
4. You gain access to the Annotated Archive, a private digital shelf where I record, in my own handwriting script, the biographical wounds and buried memories that shaped each scene.
5. Before any new novel or serial receives its first public chapter, you will read the cold open — the raw, unpolished first thousand words — and I will ask for your honest reaction, which I may cite in my revision notes.
6. Your name appears on a permanent Patron page within every ebook I publish during your active membership, listed as "Among Those Who Held the Lantern."
7. Once per quarter, I will host a live, text-based ninety-minute "Office Hours" session limited to Patrons, where you may ask anything about craft, plot mechanics.

Shawna: I really enjoying reading this book, I read it twice back to back just in case I missed something lol. Mira & Devryan are actually perfectly fit one another, even when they tried to deny it. You could tell that he wanted her, human or mystic, he was just scared to admit it to himself. She was scared...

Walker of the Dark: Short but definitely intense and amazing. Rage and Aspen were amazing together and I am glad to see a woman who is strong, determined on what she wants and well connected as a bonus. Also enjoyed seeing how even the Mafias is not all "stable" and how a bad bean can spread like wildfire if not contro...

Shriya: When I started, i thought the Alpha was a psycho, a control freak and could not understand why Kiera didn't get terrified of him. I wish the book was a bit longer to show her life in the pack but then I thought many of us are surrounded by strangers and we can be non inclusive without realising the ...
