Cold Desire

Seraphina De Luca, an independent and optimistic woman with a painful past, has learned to navigate life on her own terms. Orphaned at a young age, she hides her wounds behind a quirky smile and a love for the simple things, like chai lattes and quiet moments on the train. But everything changes when she crosses paths with Cassian Vale—a man whose icy demeanor and cold eyes send a shockwave through her world. Cassian, the heir to the Vale empire, is a man bound by duty, control, and the unyielding expectations of his father, Victor Vale. Raised to take over the family business, Cassian’s world is one of power and restraint, emotions locked away behind a wall he’s never been able to break through. Until Seraphina. Their chance encounters ignite something he’s never allowed himself to feel—a dangerous attraction that threatens the very control he’s fought so hard to maintain. As their lives become increasingly entangled, Cassian and Seraphina are forced to confront not only their growing desire for each other but the painful truths they’ve both buried deep inside. Seraphina’s guarded heart is challenged by the pull of a man she knows she shouldn’t want, while Cassian’s dark past and the weight of his family’s expectations keep him from fully surrendering to his feelings. Beneath the Ice is a story of forbidden attraction, unspoken fears, and the power of surrender. As their connection deepens, both must decide whether to break free from their pasts or let their unrelenting connection consume them. In a world where power, love, and family collide, Cassian and Seraphina will discover that the greatest strength lies not in control—but in vulnerability.

But with such power comes enemies—and a dark legacy that Nagi must now inherit. This new world is one of peril and magic, where dungeons teem with deadly creatures, ancient secrets, and unimaginable rewards. It is also a world of intrigue, where allies are as dangerous as enemies, and everyone is driven by ambition or survival. As Nagi struggles to adapt to his new life, he’s burdened by Ved’s reputation and haunted by the memories of his own failures. Yet, he begins to realize that this second chance isn’t just about surviving in a world that may be even more unforgiving than the one he left behind. Will he rise to the challenge, or will fate have other plans?

But it isn't the innocent type of desire she had expected. It's something much darker than she could ever handle.         ****  Sera didn't think her life would ever take a turn for the worst until her worthless father remarried her mother's half sister and, on her orders, sent Sera to a boarding school that was far off in a different kingdom—Elysium High, an all-girls academy for the most prestigious daughters in all of the seven kingdoms.    In Elysium, only the most powerful could survive, as even the prettiest and most innocent-looking faces had skeletons in their closests and would ruin anyone or anything that got in their way. Unfortunately for innocent and naive Sera, she would become the newest prey of Elysium, and everyone wants a piece of the beautiful redhead.     But what happens when the most unexpected person also takes an interest in her?   Electra's name alone was enough to get the entire school shaking in fear. Not only was she the only heir to the most powerful kingdom in the realm, she was also known as the cold-hearted queen of Elysium High.

We shouldn’t…” “But we have,” he countered, his voice unwavering. Her knees threatened to give way, her strength faltering against the onslaught of sensation. She felt his hands on her shoulders, firm but not unkind, as he turned her to face him. Her heart hammered wildly as he lifted her with ease, placing her on the edge of his desk. He parted her legs with his hands and stepped between them, his large hands bracketing her waist. Their faces were inches apart, his breath warm against her lips. Her senses were drowning in him, in the heat of his body and the sheer magnetism of his gaze. “Tell me to stop,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “And I will. I’ll let you go and never ask this of you again. But it’s your choice, Natalie. Only yours.” Her mind screamed at her to end it, to take the out he offered. But her body betrayed her, leaning into him, craving his touch. He held her steady, his patience unnerving, as though he knew she would falter. “I’m waiting, Nat,” he urged, his voice softening, though his grip on her remained firm. “Raphael…” Her voice was a breathless plea, her will crumbling. “Yes, sweetheart?” Her hands found their way to his shoulders, clutching at the fabric of his shirt. She couldn’t stop the words that slipped from her lips, nor could she deny the truth in them. “Make love to me.” A dark smile curved his lips as he claimed her mouth in a kiss that stole her breath. “Good choice,” he whispered against her skin. “Because I wasn’t planning on letting you go.” *****Synopsis***** Raphael Emberlin, the Duke of Barrington, and his maid, Natalie Scott, are kidnapped while on a journey.
