Rowan Ruin

Architect of Ruin

It all began with an "Oh, SHIT" moment. Era is a child agent, gone rogue. Desperate to outrun her past (and shirk responsibility) she ditches work, runs away to an Italian monastery to soak up the sun, sip on God's fine Blood and stay far away from trouble. When she's transferred to a dreary covenant in rural North Yorkshire, she begrudgingly accepts the days of mindless sweeping and even more mindless daydreaming as karmic justice. She didn't expect fate had more in store: It was supposed to be just another dull night of reflection. But what she found instead made her blood run cold. A floating body—dead, yet pulsing with dark energy—hung above the altar, surrounded by her fellow nuns, their faces twisted in devotion. They weren’t praying. This was a supernatural human sacrifice, and Era was next. There was no running, no hiding. She had already been caught. And in that instant, Era accepted her fate. But she wasn’t ready to go down without a fight. Years of combat training surged through her veins, and she lashed out. That was a fatal mistake. Now she's triggered an apocalypse, and plunged into a world she never asked for—a realm of magic, madness, and mayhem—where nothing is what it seems, and every breath she takes is a fight for survival. Worse, the apocalypse she unleashed is only one piece of a far larger game. A war rages between the Illuminati—a secretive, shadowy order that seeks to bend the world to its will—and H.V.N, a mysterious resistance agency powers beyond her comprehension- and she's caught in the middle. To stay alive, she must become a Blessed—someone marked by the gods, granted immense power in exchange for a divine contract. The only problem? She has to prove her worth first. Tangled in a web of tales, lies and betrayal, Era must navigate this world alone, stop the apocalypse, end the Illuminati and somehow stay alive. An action-packed fantasy thriller colliding with the criminal underworld, this novel is laced with chaos, wrapped in sarcasm and sprinkled with just the right amount of blasphemy.

Daddy's Comeback: From Ruins to Riches

Synopsis of Daddy’s Comeback: From Ruin to Riches Noah Lancaster, a once-successful billionaire, awakens from a five-year coma to a life he never expected. After saving his wife, Lilian, from a life-threatening accident, he is betrayed by the woman he trusted most. While he was unconscious, Lilian divorced him, stole his fortune, and secretly raised their triplet daughters alone. At the age of five, his daughters are unaware of the man who once was their everything. Now, Noah is faced with the heart-wrenching task of reconnecting with his children while grappling with his feelings of abandonment and anger. With the help of a mysterious system that rewards him for acts of fatherly love, Noah begins to rebuild his life from the ground up, gaining wealth, power, and influence through his love for his daughters. Yet, there is more at stake than his fortune. Each of his daughters—Ava, the mischievous one, Emma, the responsible older sister, and Isla, the withdrawn and cold-hearted one—have their own emotional scars. While Ava and Emma begin to open up to him, Isla’s walls remain high, as she struggles with deep-seated pain and mistrust. As Noah battles Lilian’s manipulation and works tirelessly to rebuild his relationship with his daughters, he faces both external and internal challenges. The more he learns about the struggles his daughters have faced in his absence, the stronger his resolve grows to become the father they need, even if it means sacrificing his own desires for their well-being. Through small moments of progress, including Isla’s hesitant first steps toward reconciliation, Noah begins to realize that love and patience are his true sources of power. As he works to heal his family, he must decide whether to seek revenge on the woman who destroyed him or put his energy into mending the broken bonds with his daughters. In the end, Noah’s journey is about more than just wealth or revenge—it’s about finding redemption, healing old wounds, and discovering what it truly means to be a father. With every chapter, Daddy’s Comeback: From Ruin to Riches unveils a gripping tale of emotional growth, heart-wrenching choices, and a powerful testament to the strength of a father’s love.

Ruin Me Tender

"Hate was the only thing between us—until it wasn’t." -ISLA- Revenge is my birthright. Ever since the fire that claimed my brother and shattered my family, I’ve rebuilt the Moreau empire from the ashes. But every brick I’ve laid, every deal I’ve struck, has come with one goal in mind: uncovering the truth behind that night. Ciaran Valente is the man I’ve hated since I learned how to hate. Infuriating, cruel, and too clever for his own good, he thrives in darkness, just like I do. But when the ghosts of my past tie his family to my brother’s death, my hatred becomes the least dangerous thing between us. Because Ciaran doesn’t just step into my world—he consumes it. He sees through my armor, breaks down my defenses, and dares to turn my pain into something far more dangerous than vengeance: desire. But love doesn’t exist for people like us. Only power. Only lies. And when the masks come off, one truth will destroy us both. -CIARAN- Isla Moreau is my personal form of torment. Sharp-tongued, calculating, and as untouchable as ice. I’ve craved breaking her for years—not just to prove I could, but because there’s nothing more tempting than watching a queen fall. But Isla isn’t a game. She’s fire wrapped in steel, and she hides secrets even darker than my own. When the past collides with the present, revealing the cracks in our perfect façades, I discover something I didn’t think I was capable of: obsession. She consumes me—mind, body, and soul. But while I want to own her, she wants vengeance. While I crave her surrender, she wants the truth. And in the end, we’re not just enemies. We’re fated to ruin each other.

Song of the Gardener of Souls [BL]

Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement. As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral. With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be. Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret. When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust. As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side. He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first. ************************************* Updates 3-4 times per week. Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff. When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice. There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy. This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love. ************************************* Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!): Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze. Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan. A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left. But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another. He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else. One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer. Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out. "What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest. "The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it." "Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him. Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again. "I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it." Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you." "I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction. "I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…" "You want what?" "I want more." Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"
