PROJECT: EDEN

Hey, my beautiful readers! I've been sitting on this idea for a while now, and I'm finally letting it out into the world. Plotting this story has been intense, messy, and strangely addictive — which feels pretty fitting, all things considered.✨

This is a dark academia romance with a professor/student relationship, heavy power dynamics, obsession, and some very explicit scenes. It also includes blood play, restraint, and other dark themes.

Here’s the blurb!

Eden: What makes someone crave surrender, Professor?

Dorian: You're asking questions that cross from academic curiosity into something far more... personal.

At Harlow University, knowledge is currency and desire is the most dangerous compulsion.

Eden Sterling chose Professor Dorian Whitmore to supervise her sociology thesis on power and surrender. She didn't expect the brilliant neuroscientist - who spends his days studying addiction and control - to become obsessed with her in return.

As they delve deeper into forbidden research and the shadowy rituals of the elite Harlow Circle, the lines between mentor and lover, observer and subject, begin to dissolve. What starts as intellectual fire quickly turns into something darker: a mutual compulsion neither can resist.

In a world that demands control, surrendering to each other may be the most dangerous act of all.

Follow Scarlett and Caden’s story as the tension heats up and the danger closes in.🔥

Πότε θα υπάρξει νέο κεφάλαιο;

Hello my fellow readers! Chapter Twenty is finally up!😮‍💨

I’m genuinely sorry for this long break, but I chose my mental health and well being instead of writing for a while.

I finally got my diagnosis — severe depression, GAD and OCD — and I’m finally medicated!!
Hopefully I’m soon gonna be back to posting weekly, as the side effects of my medications are finally wearing off.

Enjoy the new chapter!!🥰😍

Hi Adeline Von Black!

My new protagonist, billionaire Adrian Vale, is convinced he’s going to change the world with his AI technology. The problem? His AI assistant might understand him a little too well.

If that sounds intriguing, I’d be honored if you’d take a peek at Echo. As a fellow author, I’d also love to hear about any projects you’re currently working on.
