From a Beggar to a Bastard
Elian, a beggar with nothing to lose, died tragically, only to awaken in the body of the despised bastard son of a powerful Grand Duke in the Arcanoria Empire. His second chance at life quickly turned into a nightmare when the Grand Duke’s household was executed, and Elian was sold into servitude as a courtesan. In this cruel new existence, Elian crossed paths with Izan, the enigmatic crown prince who harbored dark secrets of his own. As they grew closer, a forbidden love began to blossom, one that could upend the delicate balance of power in the empire and destroy them both. Torn between survival, betrayal and desire, Elian and Izan faced impossible choices. Could they defy the forces threatening to tear them apart, or would the empire crush their love before it even had a chance to begin? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes.

Dillon, The Monster
The morning light crept in through a narrow gap in the curtains, casting a soft, golden glow across the room. The faint rays danced over discarded clothing strewn around haphazardly, a shirt draped over the back of a chair, a pair of trousers crumpled on the floor, and Niko's tunic lying in a heap near the bed.
The bedding was a tangled mess, the sheets twisted and rumpled, and the scent of last night's passion still lingered in the air.
Niko stirred first, his eyes fluttering open to the sight of Dillon sleeping peacefully beside him. A quiet smile spread across his lips as he studied Dillon's relaxed face, taking in every feature, the slight curve of his lips, the shadow of stubble along his jaw, the way a lock of hair fell across his forehead. His heart raced as he realized how lucky he was, how surreal it felt to wake up beside someone like Dillon, who had unexpectedly and entirely captured his heart.
