Monster In His Eyes

Fragile in His Arms

Elena Delacroix never thought her quiet life as a florist would lead her back into the underworld her family abandoned years ago. Once part of a feared mafia empire, the Delacroixs left it all behind after the loss of their two eldest sons and the trauma experienced by their only daughter, Elena. Now, they only deal in flowers, beautiful, intoxicating, and, if necessary, deadly. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One night, while making a routine delivery, Elena stumbled upon a crime scene, one she was never meant to witness. As exposed as she could ever be without having a place to hide, she held her breath as a man was executed before her eyes. Just as she prepared to flee, Lorenzo DeLuca, the ruthless mafia boss presiding over the chaos, catches a familiar scent in the air and turned to face her. It wasn’t just any scent, it was one only the Delacroix family could create. And in that moment, he recognizes her as Elena, his childhood sweetheart. The girl who had once meant everything to him and still do. Although, Elena escaped that night, but she didn’t get far as her world was turned upside down when she learnt that her family owes a massive debt to the DeLuca crime syndicate. And Lorenzo had come to collect it. But he doesn’t want just any repayment. He wants her as the repayment. Thrust into a world of power, secrets, and an undeniable attraction, Elena finds herself trapped between the past she can’t remember and a future she doesn’t want. But as long-buried memories resurface and dangerous enemies circle, one question remains; Will Lorenzo be her protector... or the greatest threat of all?

Bright Eyes

In a world forever changed by a mysterious virus, brothers Jake and Sam struggle to survive amid the chaos. But this virus isn’t just another plague—it doesn’t just kill. It transforms. The dead rise again, but the survivors aren’t left untouched either. Those who don’t succumb develop extraordinary abilities, each one unpredictable, powerful, and dangerous. After barely escaping their collapsing hometown, Jake and Sam find themselves in the hands of a military-controlled complex, a supposed safe haven that offers food, security, and stability. Alongside their new allies—Vanessa, a hardened survivor with a sharp edge, and Brett, a fighter with his own dark past—they begin to settle into this new life. But beneath the surface, secrets run deep. The truth about the virus, its origins, and the real motives of those in power start to unravel. Then comes Trevor—a former enemy, now an uneasy ally. With his knowledge of the complex’s inner workings, he forces the group to question everything they thought they knew. As trust begins to fracture and tensions rise, the situation takes a devastating turn when a military bombing operation backfires, tearing apart half the complex and throwing everything into chaos. Now, Jake is faced with a life-altering choice—one that could save those he cares about or doom them all. With danger closing in on every side, survival is no longer just about fighting the infected. It’s about deciphering the lies, facing impossible odds, and making the hardest sacrifices. This gripping, action-packed debut blends the relentless tension of The Walking Dead with the chilling biological horror of The Last of Us, creating an intense story of survival, power, and the true cost of humanity in a broken world.
