Not Your Typical Romance

ILLICIT ROMANCE

Zelda Delacroix is no ordinary girl—raised in a world of affluence, power, and hidden secrets, she’s adopted into the prestigious Delacroix family, where appearances are everything and silence is survival. But beneath the surface of her new life lies a web of forbidden desire, fractured loyalties, and dangerous truths no one dares to speak. As Zelda tries to navigate university, dreams of becoming an architect, and the unrelenting expectations of the Delacroix household, she finds herself drawn to Lucien—the cold, enigmatic eldest son of the family who has always watched her from a distance. He’s off-limits, untouchable, and infuriatingly magnetic. Their connection simmers quietly, the tension growing more unbearable with each stolen glance and whispered word. But Lucien isn’t the only one watching her. The family’s secrets begin to unravel, and a forgotten brother erased from all records haunts the corners of Zelda’s life. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy that could shatter the Delacroix name—and cost her everything. Meanwhile, rivals emerge. Marcella, a cunning girl from another elite family, pretends to befriend Zelda while scheming to steal Lucien. And Delphine Vale, a petite and seemingly harmless classmate, hides sinister intentions beneath her sweet smile. Every step Zelda takes forward is shadowed by betrayal. With her budding friendship with the genuine and free-spirited Ariyah, and the quiet support of her adoptive brothers Berrett and Ryan, Zelda tries to hold on to her sanity. But as the line between protector and possessor blurs in her relationship with Lucien, and long-buried feelings rise to the surface, Zelda must decide: Can she survive the weight of a love that was never meant to happen? And in a house built on secrets… who will burn first?

Another Typical S-Class Hunter

Sometimes, the worst part of a nightmare is thinking you woke up. Liana Graves was humanity's last shield. An S-Class Hunter wielding twin axes and impossible strength in a world already lost. She fought on ruins, buried allies, and watched as monsters consumed cities one by one. In the end, she stood alone. Until she woke up. Back in her childhood bedroom. Back to the warmth of her family, the scent of breakfast and a world untouched by monsters. Before the collapse, before chaos, before everything went wrong. It was a miracle. A second chance. And this time, she's not wasting it. Liana rises through the Hunter ranks faster and stronger than before because nothing will stop her from protecting the people she loves. But the more she fights, the more the cracks start to show as the world seems to bend too easily to her will. A battle ends too quickly. A relative miraculously comes back from the dead. We all love a classic S-Class power fantasy. But what if the arc is too perfect? Too easy? What if…the second chance was never real? After all, perception is a powerful thing. ______ Author's Note: This novel includes an African-American female protagonist and a slower-paced, character-focused take on the tower/system genre that isn't commonly found in these types of stories. I hope you enjoy reading and I'd love to hear your thoughts! Also I apologize for the lack of chapters as of late. I currently plan on writing more chapters and mass releasing them each week later on.
