Nocturne Memory

SOPHIA I never imagined my step-aunt could make my heart race like this. She’s supposed to be my protector — the woman who keeps me safe in a world darkened by mafia violence and dangerous secrets. But her touch ignites a fire I can’t put out, and every glance between us pulls me deeper into a world where rules don’t apply. Our connection is forbidden — tangled in family ties and shadowed by the weight of betrayal. The mafia controls everything, and crossing those lines could mean losing more than just trust. It could mean losing everything. But some desires are impossible to resist. Some sins feel too sweet to fight. As danger closes in and loyalties shatter, I have to decide: Do I stay safe and alone, or surrender to the woman who makes me sin in ways I never thought possible? --- IVY She’s the girl I swore to protect. Not the woman I can’t stop wanting. When Sean asked me to look after his daughters, I promised. I meant it. But I wasn’t prepared for Sophia — no longer the shy teen I remembered, but a fierce, stunning storm of a woman who stares me down like she’s daring me to break. Now, I’m back — hardened by war, haunted by ghosts, and barely holding it together. This estate was meant to be a safe house. But inside these walls, danger comes with a mouth that smirks, and eyes that see straight through me. She’s nineteen. Off-limits. Sean’s stepdaughter. And every second we’re alone, my restraint unravels. When a threat from the shadows resurfaces, I’ll do anything to protect her. But how do I protect her from me? In this seductive, slow-burn romantic thriller, duty and desire collide in explosive fashion. If you crave age-gap tension, forbidden heat, and a hero battling the fire he’s sworn not to touch—this book will consume you. Author’s Note: This story contains mature themes, forbidden queer romance, and intense family dynamics. Book One ends on a cliffhanger. Book Two, The Way She Owns Me, continues their journey with even higher stakes

Yes, Ma’am is a slow-burn sapphic academic romance that begins with tequila, ends in trouble, and simmers with undeniable chemistry in between. Annabeth Thompson is a tightly-wound literature professor who color-codes her spring break and prefers books over people. But one wild night out and a tequila-fueled lapse in judgment leaves her tangled in sheets with a dangerously attractive stranger, who turns out to be none other than Dr. Maya Patel, the new hire in the psychology department. Now, stuck in the same university, the same office building, and the same student advisor group, Annabeth must face her one-night stand-turned-colleague as she tries to balance professionalism with an escalating attraction that’s anything but appropriate. Maya isn’t just confident, she’s infuriating, magnetic, and reads Annabeth like one of her case studies. What starts as witty banter and stolen glances slowly unravels into something real, raw, and terrifying. But secrets, academic politics, and reputations threaten to destroy whatever fragile thing is building between them. Messy, emotional, and wickedly sharp, Yes, Ma’am is a queer love story about learning to be vulnerable, the rules we break for the people we can’t forget, and the chaos of falling for someone who challenges everything you thought you knew.
