About Hacked by the Don

I hacked the wrong billionaire, a lethal Mafia Don and was kidnapped.
Now I’m tied to his bed, obeying every command like I was made for it.
I was testing a new hacking software
when I tripped Dante DeLuca’s digital wire.
Silver-haired. Sinfully dangerous. Filthy rich.
He says I belong to him now.
His rules. His fortress.
My daughter and I, locked inside.
Work for him or vanish.
I had no choice.
When his eyes say I’m his to ruin,
I become undone,
and every reason to resist slips away.
The tension snaps.
The sheets burn.
And I melt for him,
aching, obedient, loving every filthy command.
When his fingers trace my curves, I forget the danger
and surrender to the wreckage he makes of me.
We fell hard.
We trusted deeper.
Then came the secret. Dark, personal, and tied to my daughter.
And now I’m terrified I let the devil into our lives and called it love.

About Mountain Man Ramsey by Elli Marsh

Welcome to Ashwood, New Hampshire, where Midwestern sweethearts on the run and protective construction workers are a match made in the mountains.

Ramsey
She was blown into my life on the winds of change.
All I wanted was to help her out of a tough situation, falling for her wasn’t in my plan.
I live a solitary life with no room for a woman like her in it, a woman who can’t stay.
Yet the thought of her walking out the door makes coming home to an empty house unbearable.
She’s perfect in every imaginable way.
And someone as perfect as her deserves to be protected at any cost.

Delia
I snuck out in the middle of the night, knowing things would only get worse.
He’s following me, I can feel his presence in my rearview, but Ashwood feels safe to me.
I didn’t come here looking for love, only the security the familiar mountains provide.
A chance encounter with a sweet brute of a man changes everything.
Every step I take is a delicate dance between hope and fear, balanced on the dream of a better life.
I see the future in Ramsey’s eyes, but will my past find me before he sees it in mine?

Resilience.One journey. One brotherhood. One plan.

About Resilience.One journey. One brotherhood. One plan.

A brotherhood forged in loyalty.
A voyage destined for disaster.
A bond—and a love—that refuses to break.

Set aboard the RMS Titanic, Resilience follows a tight-knit group of young men and the three remarkable women who stand fiercely by their side. When the unthinkable happens, survival becomes more than staying afloat—it becomes a fight to hold on to love, loyalty, and the silent promise that no one gets left behind.

Told in a raw, journal-style narrative that blurs the line between fiction and memory, this story pulses with lived emotion. These aren’t just characters—they’re reflections of real heartbreak, brotherhood, and hope. The writing is deliberately imperfect, stripped of polish to preserve authenticity and truth.

This is alternative historical fiction, built on a what-if scenario that reimagines the human side of tragedy. It’s not written to be easy. It’s written to be real.

“It’s all about your head & your heart.”
“You always have a choice.”

From collapsing strongholds to corrupted Vaults, the Sirens and their bonded vampire lords are thrust into a war not just of power—but of memory, trust, and choice. Loyalties will shift. Guardians will rise. And beyond the edge of the known world… something is calling.

The Veil didn’t protect them.
It imprisoned them.

The Five
Five threads.
Five bonds.
One broken prophecy—and five human women who were never supposed to be part of it.

Centuries ago, a powerful flame-based prophecy predicted the rise of five supernatural mates destined to restore balance to the magical realms.

Now, thrust into a world of shifters, mystics, and ancient politics, each woman must forge her own path alongside the powerful male destined to protect—and challenge—her. But the prophecy is unraveling. Secrets are surfacing. And the mysterious Shadow Accord may be the key to freedom… or destruction.

With sharp wit, slow-burn romance, found family, and magic that doesn’t follow the rules, The Five is a fantasy romance series about rewriting destiny, one bond at a time.

Life into Death: and Other Stories About the Two Gods Who Balance the Earth by E. S. Sibbald

About Life into Death: and Other Stories About the Two Gods Who Balance the Earth by E. S. Sibbald

Life exists in the bright places of the world. Death lingers in the shadows. Together, they have presided over Earth since the beginning of time.

Death, steadfast in the knowledge of his eternal purpose to watch the life clock of every life form steadily tick toward their end, has never felt any attachment to the living. They simply are what they are, just as Death is what Death always has, and always will be.

Life, so in love with the living world it would seem narcissistic in anyone else, adores and envies the acts of humanity. Why should they have to suffer? Why should they have to come to an end after such a brief existence?

Two opposite forces, they balance the Earth on a delicate scale. As centuries pass and their desire to understand each other grows, the carefully kept equilibrium begins to tilt.
