THE HEIR

House of Valentini Series, Book 1

Serena Valentini rules the shadows of Naples with a mind sharp enough to topple empires. By day she’s the dutiful daughter of the city’s mafia king. By night she’s the Architect—quietly engineering her father’s downfall.

 

But when a stranger with storm-grey eyes appears at a smuggling exchange she orchestrated, everything changes.


Luca Rossi moves like a ghost, thinks like a predator… and knows far too much about her mother’s death, the empire’s secrets, and the price placed on Serena’s head.

 

Someone is hunting her.
Someone who knows her codes, her past, her sanctuary—someone who wants her crown before she can claim it.
And Luca may be the only man who can save her… or destroy her.

The first battle for the Valentini throne begins here.

THE BILLIONAIRE SIN

Sovereign Dynasty Series, Book 1

Aurelia Dane built a life on a lie. Orphaned by a fire, she’s carved out a quiet existence as a data analyst, her only link to the past a mysterious obsidian necklace. But when an ancient key arrives—carved with the same crest that haunts her nightmares—it comes with a message that shatters her world: Your mother didn’t die. Find the Sovereign Dynasty.

 

Her search for answers leads her straight into the lion’s den: a job on the Dynasty’s private island, a fortress of mirrored glass and monstrous secrets. From the moment she arrives, Cassian Sovereign—the ice-cold heir—watches her. His gaze isn’t one of curiosity, but of devastating recognition. And cold, furious fear.

 

You should not exist, he tells her.

 

Now, Aurelia is trapped in a gilded cage between two warring brothers: one who offers dangerous protection, and one who offers treacherous charm. But to uncover the truth about the fire, her mother, and the deadly project codenamed Chimera, she must unravel the Dynasty’s darkest secret—a secret that lives and breathes in her own blood.

 

The ghost they thought they killed is back and this time, she’s not running.

REFLECTED SIN

The Reflected Sin Series, Book 1

Aurora Reyes came to Blackwood Apartments for a quiet restart—new city, new number, new rules for staying alive. But on her first night, a single purple iris appears on her doorstep… then moves on its own. The apartment cameras show nothing. The locks never open. Yet something is inside.

 

Then the mirror starts watching her.

Not the reflection she knows—the other one. The one that lags behind. The one that tilts its head just a little too far. The one that smiles when Aurora doesn’t.

 

As strange messages infiltrate her powered-off phone, and reflective surfaces shift when she isn’t looking, Aurora begins to feel a familiar static humming at the base of her skull. A sensation she hasn’t felt since the facility. Since the experiments. Since the girl she used to be.

 

When Levi, the one person who ever grounded her, rushes to her aid—and Cassian, the man who knows more about her past than he’s admitting, warns her to cover every mirror—Aurora realises the truth:

 

The reflection isn’t haunting her.
It’s studying her.
Mimicking her.
Becoming her.

And now, it wants out.

 

Aurora has two choices: confront the thing wearing her face… or watch it step through the glass and take her place.

THE SILENT VOW

Shadow Oath Series, Book 1

Aiden Rourke was the CIA’s most precise weapon—until one mission in Belgrade shattered everything. Ordered to eliminate a ghost asset whose name didn’t appear on any official ledger, he hesitated. For the first time in his career, he disobeyed.

Because the target wasn’t a stranger.
It was the woman he once loved.

Lira Vass, the infamous phantom operative known only as “Echo,” has lived years in the shadows—betrayed, branded a traitor, and hunted by both the agency she served and the syndicate she escaped. When Aiden’s bullet grazed her skull instead of killing her, it forged something darker than forgiveness between them: a silent vow, bound by blood and secrets.

Now a conspiracy bigger than governments is moving pieces across the world, and both of them are on the kill list. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Aiden and Lira must unravel a covert operation known only as OATHBREAKER—a program designed to erase agents like them from history.

But as they race through a labyrinth of double-crosses, coded messages, and weaponized memories, one truth becomes impossible to outrun:

Someone high inside the intelligence world wants Aiden and Lira dead.
Someone who knows their past.
Someone who remembers the night that broke them.

 

The Silent Vow isn’t just a spy thriller.
It’s the cost of betrayal.
The weight of devotion.
And the one bullet that changes everything.
