In the quiet village of Snowshill, where shadows linger longer than the daylight, two sisters uncover a truth that was never meant to surface.

Victoria is haunted by vivid, prophetic dreams, visions that pull her toward a darkness buried deep within the village’s past. When she and her sister, Alice, discover a hidden diary detailing a string of unsolved murders, they awaken something ancient… and vengeful.

Alice, driven by pain and a dangerous need for retribution, slips into the underbelly of Snowshill, gambling, deceiving, and risking everything to chase a justice that could consume her. But the deeper she goes, the more she realizes her greatest enemy may not be the monsters lurking in the shadows… but the truth she’s been running from.

As history threatens to repeat itself, the sisters must confront the secrets that shaped them, the evil infecting their bloodline, and a destiny that has been waiting for them in the dark.

Some secrets were never meant to be found.
Some murders were never meant to be solved.
And in Snowshill… the truth always demands a sacrifice.

In the end, one haunting question remains: Who will survive to tell the tale of Snowshill?

A gothic psychological thriller about sisterhood, trauma, revenge, and the thin line between love and destruction

Beyond Smut: The Art and Evolution of Erotic Fantasy Selene Wilderwind

Synopsis:
Erotic Fantasy is rarely examined as literature. More often, it is dismissed, marginalized, or misclassified—treated as indulgence rather than as a meaningful narrative form.

Beyond Smut is a work of literary criticism and cultural analysis that examines Erotic Fantasy as an artistic, historical, and symbolic genre. Rather than approaching sexuality as provocation or entertainment, this book analyzes how desire functions within myth, worldbuilding, symbolism, and narrative power—alongside themes such as transformation, authority, ritual, and identity.

Tracing the genre’s roots from ancient mythologies and sacred traditions through periods of censorship and moral regulation, Demosthenes Ignis maps how Erotic Fantasy has been shaped, constrained, and misunderstood across time. The book explores how intimacy operates as a structural narrative force—one capable of driving character development, cultural meaning, and imaginative systems as profoundly as war, prophecy, or political conflict.

This is not erotic fiction. It contains no explicit scenes and is not written for arousal. It is a critical examination of how sexuality has been encoded, suppressed, and reclaimed within speculative and fantastical storytelling traditions.

Written for readers, writers, and theorists interested in literature, semiotics, and cultural power, Beyond Smut argues that Erotic Fantasy deserves recognition not as a niche indulgence, but as a legitimate and historically grounded mode of artistic expression.

He’s the deputy who never breaks the rules. She’s the woman he’s never stopped wanting. When trouble strikes close to home, lines will blur between duty and desire.

Deputy Shane O’Brien has been in love with Amy Caufield since the day she opened her coffee shop. She doesn’t know she’s been the center of his mornings—and the quiet ache he harbors inside. But Amy belongs to someone else, and Shane’s code of honor has always kept him on the sidelines.

Amy’s business is thriving, but her personal life is another story. The man she’s with isn’t the partner she needs, and guilt has kept her from walking away. Until now. Shane is the steady friend who brightens her mornings, the one man she can count on. When trouble strikes her café, he’s the protector she turns to as her sense of safety begins unraveling.

But when the signs don’t add up, Shane can’t ignore the possibility that Amy herself is hiding something. Torn between protecting her and suspecting her, he’s forced to weigh doubt against the pull of his heart. Staying close makes it harder to hide his yearning—and harder still to resist what he’s always wanted.

But in a town where danger lurks behind familiar faces, trusting their hearts may be the biggest risk of all.

For fans of small-town romance with a dangerous twist, friends-to-lovers sparks, and protectors who’ll do anything for the women they love, The Harborer is a steamy romance with passion, peril, no cheating … and, of course, a guaranteed HEA.

#BookReview: Savage Proposal (Savage Mafia Kings, #1) by @bellaash_author

Synopsis:
Isabella:
Sold by my own father to Lorenzo Vitali—a man carved from violence and draped in cruelty.
I became a prisoner in a gilded cage, bound by chains heavier than steel.
He demands an heir. His touch burns, unravels, consumes. I should hate him. I should fear him.
But it’s not the demand that terrifies me.
It’s him.

There’s a darkness in Lorenzo—seductive, merciless, and impossible to escape.
Every glance pulls me deeper into the abyss. Every stolen breath blurs the line between loathing and longing.
And my heart, the traitor, begins to beat for the very man who holds it hostage.

But men like Lorenzo don’t just break women like me.
They devour.
They erase.
And I refuse to be swallowed by his darkness.

Lorenzo:
The night they took Sienna from me; I swore vengeance and buried what remained of my heart.
Nothing could ever break me again.
Until Isabella Rossi fell into my hands—scarred, defiant, and hauntingly like Sienna.

She was meant to be a pawn. A vessel for the heir that will secure my legacy.
But her fire doesn’t bend—it provokes.
Her defiance fuels an obsession I never wanted.

She thinks she can resist me.
But in my world, resistance isn’t survival.
It’s the spark that feeds the fire.

Trigger Warning: This book is a dark romance intended for mature audiences only. It contains explicit sexual content, graphic violence, forced pregnancy, assault, captivity, kidnapping, criminal activity, and a cliff-hanger ending. Read at your own risk.

This book was previously published as part of the Vitali Duet, and has now been expanded into the Savage Mafia Kings series.
