Veil of Ambition

Tiberius Marlowe has silent power in his step-a storm repressed behind an impenetrable mask of coolness. Every glance was sharp, lethal, a reminder that his empire didn't come as some mistake. And right at his side, in every shadowy alley, were the enemies, with Nikolai Drakos most at the fore, chief rival to him in the cutthroat billionaire world. Nikolai’s relentless ambition and cold, calculated moves drive him ever closer to Tiber’s throne, creating a tension that pulses like an unspoken promise of war. Ivy Cadler is cool, calculated, and sartorially impressive in the high-stakes game of politics, wielding her power and scandals with characteristic poise. She is Tiber's mistress, his sword in a Savile Row suit, working her way through society's upper echelons to solidify his grasp from within. Every stolen glance, every whispered confidence between them, represents a bond forged in ambition, a mutual seduction tempered with danger. Their involvement is not some trivial affair but an alliance of twisted purpose, of power and lust precariously poised on a razor's edge. Yet wrapped inside Tiber's success was an anger so still and quiet, building with every pulse of the heart that was broken called Cassandra Marlowe. Now his bride, jilted, Cassandra's ghostly presence haunted in quiet resentment stitched into the fabric of his life; she was the ghost of his choices, biding her time to strike. Each time he touches Ivy, every scheme he devises to kill Nikolai-Cassandra sees. Her vengeance, planned with a smile masking anger so cold it could shatter them all. But as Tiber navigates his realm, his calculated steps draw him closer to the shadows he cannot control. At the core of his domain, where all friends bear the mien of foes and love is a deadly poison in the veins, one wrong move spells the dénouement of his carefully constructed reign. With Nikolai at his back, Ivy hiding secrets of her own, and Cassandra's silent fury burning ever closer, Tiber's world is a chessboard of betrayal just waiting to unravel. And just when he thought he knew how to play the game well, it may just be that the deadliest enemy of all is the one he never saw coming.

The Emperor's Veil

After a brutal coup wipes out the royal family of House Silverleaf, Prince Arin is thrust into the role of Emperor, a position he never desired. In the decadent and corrupt empire of Elaria, Arin—a trap with an alluring beauty—must navigate a treacherous court filled with nobles who feign loyalty while secretly plotting against him. Many ambitious lords and ladies outside the capital yearn to usurp the throne or carve out their own kingdoms, viewing Arin as a mere puppet in a game of power. Determined to gain control over his fractured empire and find the person responsible for the assassination of his family—especially his beloved mother, the only one who ever truly loved him—Arin must tread carefully in a society where status and influence mean everything. In Elaria’s sexually liberated society, open intimacy during court proceedings is a privilege reserved solely for the Emperor, making Arin both an object of desire and a target for manipulation. Among the common people, public displays of affection are neither encouraged nor criticized, treated with indifference. In stark contrast, nobles flaunt their desires freely, wielding their power without fear of repercussion. High-ranking nobles may engage in acts of dominance over others, while lower-ranking nobles risk being targeted if they flaunt their influence too openly. As Arin learns to wield his charm and seduction like a weapon, he must confront the pervasive corruption that threatens to tear his empire apart. In a world driven by lust, ambition, and betrayal, Arin faces a relentless battle—not only to keep his throne but to avenge his family and restore his empire’s integrity from within.
