The Bride of the Storm Lord: Stormborne's Desire

In a land divided by elements and ruled by powerful lords blessed by ancient gods- Ignarion- god of fire. Vireon -god of storms. Caelion- god of wind. Neryth-goddess of ice and water. And Thalor- god of earth. Every alliance forged and every oath sworn carries the weight of divine power... and ancient prophecy. For centuries, each lord has coveted more power, more dominion, and more control. One spark is all it takes to ignite war. Born of fire, Aurelia Flameborne was once the pride and beloved daughter of Ashmere. A beautiful warrior princess, destined for greatness and betrothed to Neris Winterbourne, the cold and noble Lord of Winter. All of that shatters the day the witch Ishara curses her. After the devastating War of Ashmere, Her face becomes scarred, her magic fractures, and her family locks her away in the tallest tower, too ashamed to let the world see what she has become. Even her fiancé, the Lord of Winter, abandons her for another. But destiny refuses to let her fade. When whispers from the North threaten to end her engagement, Aurelia's heart shatters. But before her world crumbles completely, a storm rises. Valerian Stormborne, the ambitious and enigmatic Lord of Thunder, steps forward to claim her. Now bound to a tempest, Aurelia finds herself caught in a whirlwind of betrayal, political games, and the unexpected warmth of love from her tempestuous husband… and her husband's son who calls her mother. But beneath the surface of mortal schemes, the gods begin to stir. Buried deep in the ashes of Caelmont lies an ancient prophecy: A child blessed by all five gods, born of powers that should never mix, will either unite the fractured realms… or bring about their ruin. Now, every Lord wants that child. Every kingdom seeks to control fate. But the gods? They have plans of their own. Now Aurelia stands at the center of obsession and war. The Lord of Winter who rejected her wants her back. The Lord of Wind hides desire behind a cunning smile. Her sister, plots from the shadows. And Valerian, the man who swore she'd "never be a wife," to him begins to burn for her with a passion he cannot control. Caught between storms, gods, and a love that could destroy kingdoms, Aurelia must rise—or the realms will fall.

Hollywood Princess

Once upon a time, she wasn’t just controversial—she was Hollywood’s favorite chew toy. The tabloids fed on her like vultures, critics sharpened their knives with her name on them, and audiences rolled their eyes at the mere mention of her films. Washed-up. Deranged. A one-hit wonder who’d flown too close to the sun and torched her own wings on the way down. And then came the implosion. Bankrupt. Ghosted by every studio she’d ever worked with. Erased from call sheets, from awards circuits, from the entire industry she’d once breathed like oxygen. When the world slammed the door in her face, she didn’t fight—she folded. Pride bruised, heart cracked, she vanished into the shadows, surviving off cheap coffee, odd jobs, and the stubborn lie that she didn’t miss the spotlight. But now? Life has a funny way of circling back—and it just hurled her to rock bottom again. Only this time, she’s not hiding. This time, she’s done letting critics write her obituary before her comeback. She’s done being the cautionary tale whispered about at industry parties. With nothing left to lose, she’s going to claw her way up the mountain she once fell off—one gamble, one film, one miracle at a time. She’s ready to resurrect the dream she buried… and burn down every expectation in her path. Hollywood thinks it knows her story. It has no idea what’s coming. A meteor. A wildfire. A reclamation. She’s not aiming for redemption. She’s coming for the throne. “She’s a born director.” — TIME Magazine
