Whispers Beneath the Silk
A romantic thriller steeped in secrets, shadows, and seduction.
---
When Evelyn Roth, a gifted textile restorer with a hidden past, receives a mysterious commission to restore an estate's vintage gowns, she sees it as the opportunity of a lifetime. The request arrives with no sender's name, only a location: Silkenmoor, a manor whispered about in London's underground arts circles like a myth cloaked in velvet and blood. The job promises wealth, seclusion, and a chance to escape the echoes of her own carefully buried secrets.
But Silkenmoor is no ordinary estate.
Tucked away in the mist-laden cliffs of the English coast, the mansion looms like a memory lost in time. Its architecture is breathtaking-gothic arches, crimson silk drapes, and candlelit halls-but the atmosphere is suffocating. Whispers float down the corridors like perfume, and Evelyn quickly learns that the house hasn't quite moved on from its most tragic occupant: Lady Isadora Thorne, the glamorous and scandalous mistress of the estate who died in unexplained circumstances nearly a decade ago.
And then there's Lord Alaric Thorne-Isadora's widower, and the enigmatic master of the house. Cold, refined, and devastatingly handsome, Alaric is every bit the haunted figure the rumors suggested. Townsfolk believe he drove his wife to madness, or worse. Alaric insists Evelyn is here merely to preserve the gowns for archival purposes, but he watches her too closely. Their tension is instant. Electric. Dangerous.
The gowns-dozens of them, preserved in a sealed dressing room-are exquisite. But as Evelyn begins to work, she discovers more than frayed threads and forgotten lace. Hidden in hems are tiny slips of paper: love letters, warnings, confessions. Bloodstains have been washed but not erased. One bodice holds a lock of auburn hair that doesn't belong to Isadora at all. Someone, Evelyn realizes, tried to sew their story into the seams.
Each dress whispers something new-and Evelyn, despite herself, begins to listen.
Drawn deeper into the tangled history of the house, she uncovers a love triangle gone wrong, a possible pregnancy covered up, and an affair that may have led to blackmail-or murder. She finds herself caught between two men: the alluring but dangerous Alaric, and Julian Mercer, the charming solicitor who claims to be investigating the estate's secrets. Julian warns her that Alaric is not to be trusted. Alaric insists Julian is the true manipulator. As Evelyn spirals into obsession, she can't tell which of them is lying-or if they both are.
The closer she gets to the truth, the more the estate begins to shift around her. Mirrors show people who aren't there. The silk feels alive against her skin. And every time she wears one of Isadora's gowns, she feels less like herself and more like the woman whose ghost she may be embodying. Is she unraveling a mystery-or being rewritten by it?
When a hidden vault is discovered beneath the estate-filled with a final, unfinished gown, and a stitched confession from Isadora herself-Evelyn must make a devastating choice: expose the truth and destroy what's left of the Thorne legacy, or bury it forever to protect a man she may be falling in love with... even if he's guilty.
But some secrets refuse to stay dead. And some love stories are written not in ink-but in blood, silk, and silence.

Whispers Beneath the Silk is a gothic romance for fans of Rebecca, Verity, and Crimson Peak-a story of forbidden love, psychological suspense, and the ways we stitch ourselves into history. Evelyn's journey from forgotten seamstress to the author of her own story will leave readers breathless until the final, shattering reveal.

One Night With Mr Lucifer
Success Joseph "I told you to stay away," Evanora whispered, her voice wavering but defiant.
Eros's cold smile widened. "You made your choice. You came to me, offered yourself that night. Now, you think you can run?"
"It was supposed to be one night," she breathed, meeting his gaze.
Eros traced her jawline, his voice low. "One night wasn't enough, tesoro. It never could be."
She tried to pull away, but he caught her chin. "Look at me," he commanded. "You think I can let you walk away?"
"I'm not yours," she whispered, trembling.
His smile faded, turning dark. "You are. From the moment you gave yourself to me, Elena, you became mine. Body, mind, and soul."
He pinned her against the wall, his lips brushing her ear. "And if I have to burn the world to keep you, I will."

She chose the man in front of her, a stranger who radiated danger and mystery. Hypnotized by his charisma and the alcohol in her system, she surrendered herself to him, never expecting to see him again after that night. But she couldn't have been more wrong.
She had fallen into the clutches of Eros Kane, the most feared billionaire of New Orleans. A man with more than just political power-he was the embodiment of terror and sin. In the mortal world, he was a billionaire with influence, but in the underworld, he was something far more dangerous.

5 Princes and I
Kiraran "You, my dear, will be going to help us to decide that. You will pick a king."
"Say what now?"
"I'm not going to repeat it since I know that you have heard me."
"Fine! You want me to decide?! Nate!" I pointed to prince Nathaniel if I remember correctly. He was slightly taken aback and a confused expression was replaced. "Do you want to be a king?"
"I...uh...Yes?" He said. Unsure of his answer. It made me wonder if the expression on my face had forced him to say yes.
"Good. Then you'll be the king.
"What!? But that's not how you decide it!" PRINCE Ace said.
"Fine! You're all kings. In fact, we ALL can be kings!!"
