SINFUL DEAL

THE THREAD OF SHADOWS

Sienna Cross is no ordinary private investigator. Gifted-or cursed-with the ability to see the invisible threads that bind people to their actions, she uncovers truths most would rather keep buried. But her ability is also a burden, keeping her isolated from others, haunted by memories of a past she can't fully remember. When a strange old woman comes to her with a desperate plea to find her missing daughter, Sienna is thrust into a mystery far darker than she could have ever imagined.   The search leads her to an abandoned mansion on the edge of town, long whispered to be cursed, where the air is thick with unseen forces and shadows seem to crawl along the walls. There, Sienna uncovers a journal filled with disturbing entries about a secret occult society, a forbidden ritual, and an ancient power known only as "the Thread of Shadows." But the journal ends abruptly, and Sienna soon realizes she's not the only one hunting for the truth.   A man named Lucien, shrouded in secrets of his own, warns her to turn back. But it's too late-something has already been awakened inside Sienna. Her powers begin to change, her visions warping into horrifying glimpses of the future, and a sinister force starts to invade her mind. Soon, she discovers the terrifying truth: the Thread of Shadows is a sentient entity, a force of unimaginable power, and it has chosen Sienna as its next host.   As her grip on reality starts to unravel, Sienna is drawn deeper into the web of conspiracy surrounding the cult responsible for unleashing this ancient evil. She uncovers the truth about her own family's involvement with the Thread, the true nature of her abilities, and a betrayal that has been waiting in the dark for years.   With time running out and the Thread's control growing stronger, Sienna must confront the terrifying prospect that her powers aren't her own-they come from the very darkness she's fighting to destroy. Lucien, who knows more about the Thread than he lets on, becomes both an ally and a threat. Trusting him might save her, but it could also lead her into the hands of the very forces she's trying to escape.   The deeper she digs, the more dangerous the game becomes. The Thread isn't just an ancient force; it's alive, and it's hunting. And the more Sienna learns, the more she realizes that the only way to stop it is to confront her own shadow, face the darkness within, and sever the bond that ties her to this malevolent entity-before it consumes her completely.   In *"The Thread of Shadows,"* every secret leads to another, every step forward unravels a darker truth, and every thread that Sienna pulls on brings her closer to losing herself. As reality bends and twists, and her own identity becomes a battleground, Sienna must decide how far she's willing to go to save herself, and whether the darkness she's fighting is truly external-or something buried deep inside her all along.   Gripping, atmospheric, and filled with shocking twists, "The Thread of Shadows"is a supernatural thriller that will pull readers into a world where nothing is as it seems, and the line between light and dark, truth and madness, is always shifting. For Sienna, unraveling the mystery might be the only way to stop the nightmare-but it might also destroy her in the process.  

A Deal with Desire

Elena Carter has spent years clawing her way up the corporate ladder, only to watch her dreams teeter on the edge of collapse.

When her office lease is terminated without warning, Elena storms into Damian's sleek skyscraper to fight for her company, determined to stand her ground against the enigmatic tycoon. Damian doesn't need distractions. His empire was built on unshakable focus and cold precision, not fiery confrontations with ambitious women who won't back down.

When she reluctantly accepts his offer to work on a high-stakes project at his secluded Hamptons estate, the line between business and desire blurs in ways neither of them expects. As jealousy and pride threaten to tear them apart, Damian and Elena must confront their own vulnerabilities to discover that sometimes, surrendering control is the greatest power of all. In a world of high stakes and even higher walls, can love triumph over ambition and fear?

LOVE TRUST

New York City is a place of ambition, where dreams are built as high as its towering skyscrapers and love often takes a backseat to success. For Emma Carter, a brilliant architect on the rise, her career has always been her first love. Designing buildings that will stand the test of time is all that matters, and she has no room for distractions-especially not romance.

Their love is tested when Mark's latest exposé uncovers corruption within a major architectural firm-one of Emma's most important clients. Suddenly, their careers, their integrity, and their relationship are on the line.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

Celestial Queen: Revenge Is Sweet When You're A Zillionaire Heiress

After being kicked out of her home, Harlee learned she wasn't the biological daughter of her family.

The Priceless Diva Who Left His World In Ruins

Her ex-husband declared, "The person I admired most was that legendary racer." She smiled thinly. "Hate to break it to you-that was me." He said, "Jealous I blew a fortune on a world-famous jeweler for Violet?" She let out a cool laugh. "Funny, that designer trained under me." He scoffed, "Buying a dying firm won't put you in my league. Snap out of it." She shrugged. "Weird-I just steered your company off a cliff." Stunned, he blurted out, "Baby, come back. I'll love you forever." She wrinkled her nose. "Hard pass. Keep your cheap love." Then she took a mogul's arm and never looked back.

Secret Baby: The Jilted Wife's Final Goodbye

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.
