I Was Never Yours

Yours, Illegally.

Selena thought her life was picture-perfect. Married to her high school sweetheart, Peter, with a quiet, comfortable home and the kind of stability most women dream of. But stability shatters when Peter, the man she trusted most, suggests an open marriage... just to explore things with his secretary. Devastated and emotionally shattered, Selena walks into a nightclub for the first time in nearly a decade. One reckless night. One familiar face. That’s all it takes to set her world spinning. Jack Brooks, her brother’s best friend, the one man who always felt a little too off-limits, is there. Older, bolder, and far more dangerous to her heart than she ever remembered. What begins as an impulsive escape turns into something addictive. Jack becomes her forbidden thrill that grows into something raw, obsessive, and all-consuming. But secrets have a habit of surfacing. And when Peter discovers the truth, the fallout is catastrophic. The marriage implodes. Family bonds rupture. And Selena is left to pick up the pieces alone. She flees to New York, determined to rebuild from scratch. Hardened by betrayal and scarred by the mess she left behind, Selena shuts down the part of herself that once craved love. Now, she plays by her own rules; a seductive, ruthless, and untouchable woman with no attachments and apologies. After years of struggles, success, and power come in her way, but emotional detachment has a price, and Selena doesn’t realize how much of herself she’s lost until she sees Jack again. And suddenly, the walls she built start to crack, because it was never guilt that haunted her... it was love. But is love enough now? Can Jack forgive the woman Selena has become? Can he accept her, flaws and all? Or has too much been broken to ever put back together?

I'll never leave

Alice, an seemingly ordinary human, finds her life irrevocably changed when she falls deeply in love with Shawn, a captivating being who is half-vampire and half-demon. Their passionate connection leads to a pivotal moment where Alice's hidden powers awaken, revealing her true identity: she is the long-lost Demon Queen, Nyx. This revelation, however, comes with a dark side; her newfound demonic nature amplifies her negative emotions, causing her to lash out and even harm those she cares about. Struggling with her dual nature, Alice is drawn to a mysterious, ancient castle, her maternal home, where she reunites with her mother, Zhou—a powerful witch.
