A Woman Without Lies Romance

A Woman Without a Mask

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one. But vulnerability comes at a cost: her corporate career teeters, her mother’s disapproval intensifies, and a buried trauma from her teenage years resurfaces, threatening to drown her newfound courage. When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.

Blades & Lies

In the kingdom of Veydrith, where honor is currency and deception is an art, Lady Evelyn Varcrest has spent her life proving she belongs among the kingdom’s elite knights. Known for her sharp sword and sharper wit, she has little patience for noble politics—or persistent suitors. But when an infuriating noble refuses to take “no” for an answer, Evelyn makes an impulsive decision that changes everything: she pretends to be in a relationship with the one man she despises most—Damien Aldric. Damien, the infamous Shadow Knight, is as dangerous as he is charming—a man whose past is cloaked in secrecy and whose reputation precedes him. He thrives in deception, maneuvering through the treacherous world of politics and war with ease. When Evelyn drags him into her reckless lie, he doesn’t just go along with it—he makes it his game. What starts as a temporary ruse quickly spirals out of control as the royal court takes notice, and their fabricated romance becomes a political spectacle. Forced to keep up appearances, Evelyn and Damien navigate lavish banquets, noble gossip, and deadly intrigue, all while clashing at every turn. But the deeper they play the game, the harder it becomes to tell where the lies end and the truth begins. As old enemies resurface and hidden agendas come to light, Evelyn begins to question whether Damien is truly the reckless rogue she once despised, or if he’s hiding something far more dangerous—something that could shake the very foundation of the kingdom. With steel in one hand and deception in the other, Evelyn must decide: is she fighting against him or alongside him? Because in a kingdom where secrets cut deeper than blades, the most dangerous game of all is falling in love.

A World Without Reflections

A World Without Reflections is a novel steeped in Eastern fantasy and Dark Souls-like desolation, following Chael, a young warrior chief who returns to a home to see that his clansmen are nothing but frozen and soulless husks. Their voices are gone and the fires are cold. They still stand, but they do not live. And somewhere beyond the frost and silence, unseen hands pull at fate’s threads. ///// "I had fought before. I had bled before. But this was different. This was madness. One moment, I was sat on my throne, ruling my clansmen and the next… I'm met with a graveyard of empty eyes and frozen faces. And now these mongrels hunt me through the storm, blades drawn and their voices sharp with laughter. Echoes in the snow continue to call out to me as I drown in snow and steel. Were they guiding me? Or had I already lost my mind?" ///// WHAT TO EXPECT: • Dark and desolate atmostphere (heavily inspired by Dark Souls). • Struggling protagonist. Chael will earn his victories through skill, intellegence and power progression - and along the way, he will lose many times. • ALL notable characters will be complex and have unique character traits, philosophies and backstories. • A unique power system inspired by Xianxia. • Very lore-rich and intricate world-building. • Slow-burn romance subplot. • LOTS of mysteries and plot-twists. Almost all subplots will be infused with some kind of mystery. • Multiple layers of character development for Chael (who starts off as a cynical young man who lost what little purpose he had) and many other characters.
