I’m obsessed with immortals, vampires, magic, and morally grey characters. My stories are cozy and character‑driven, focused on emotions and chemistry rather than heavy worldbuilding, and have plenty of spice woven in. I keep them atmospheric and fast‑moving—the kind you can’t drift off to.

I test my stories on my besties, who are always so tired after work they fall asleep with a book in hand, so my goal is to make every page simple, light, and effortlessly engaging, something that carries you along even on your most exhausted days.

Princess Marta arrives at the Border Fortress ready to marry a king and secure her kingdom’s future. Duty is all she’s ever known—until she meets Rafael, the king’s closest friend and the one man her telepathy cannot read.

In a court ruled by immortals, where rivals circle and ancient rituals demand obedience, Marta’s safe, sensible path begins to crumble. Desire pulls her toward the one person she should fear, and loyalty forces her to question everything she was raised to choose.

My upcoming novel is a romantic fantasy infused with sensual spice and shadowed by elements of dark fantasy. It's a story of longing, inner resistance, and soul-deep transformation, where desire is dangerous, secrets are currency, and love is the most reckless act of all.

This romantic story is recommended for adult readers (18+)
