Dark Moon: The Blood Altar

Aku pikir manusia terlahir sebagai makhluk paling lemah. Mereka berusaha untuk terlihat kuat ditengah keterpurukannya. Justru hal itu yang membuat mereka terlihat semakin menyedihkan. – Mayya Castella Jika kau mengangap bahwa kaummu lemah, maka tumpukkan semuanya padaku. Aku akan melindungimu dan juga bayimu. – Vlad Rowman Kepulangan Mikhaela Castella kembali ke kampung halamannya di Last Town membawa pertanyaan besar bagi Mayya. Kembali dalam keadaan tengah hamil besar membuat adik kembar Mikhaela itu terpaksa harus mengubah cara hidupnya. Ia harus menjadi ibu pengganti bagi keponakannya setelah sang kakak meninggal dunia. Namun ketenangan hidupnya tak datang begitu cepat. Sekelompok orang tak dikenalnya berusaha untuk mencelakainya, dan mungkin juga bayinya. Dalam usahanya untuk menyelamatkan dirinya dan juga keponakannya, Mayya dihadapkan pada sejumlah peritiwa magis aneh yang membuatnya semakin bertanya apakah yang telah membuat Mikhaela begitu mempercayakan bayi Jackson sebelum kematiannya. Dan lagi, daya magis yang datang kepadanya langsung menghantarkannya pada dunia yang selama ini ia anggap tak pernah ada. Dunia makhluk penghisap darah yang selama ini ia anggap hanya sebuah mitologi lama kini muncul dihadapannya. Dan semua tampak semakin nyata saat sosok vampir tampan menawarkan bantuan, namun dengan imbalan yang tak main-main. “Kau.. aku ingin kau menjadi makananku. Biarkan aku meminum darahmu, maka aku akan melindungimu dan juga bayimu.”

Lena thought graduate school would be about focus, discipline, and finally proving to herself that she belonged in the world of academics. Books, research, and long nights in the library—that was the plan. Romance had no place in it. Especially not with the one man who should have been completely off-limits. Professor Jace Carrington is everything Lena was warned about. Brilliant. Confident. Dangerous in his quiet control. His lectures command attention, his presence silences a room, and when his eyes find hers across the crowded lecture hall, she feels both seen and undone. He is a man who draws lines with precision—and a man who knows exactly how to make someone want to cross them. What begins as a spark of curiosity turns into stolen glances, late-night office hours, and conversations that blur the line between mentorship and something far more intimate. Jace’s rules are simple: no one can know, and she always has a choice. But rules are easy to write and far harder to follow. The deeper Lena falls, the more she realizes this isn’t just attraction—it’s obsession, it’s surrender, and it’s freedom all at once. Secrets, however, have a way of surfacing, and on a campus where whispers spread like wildfire, forbidden love can burn everything in its path. Lessons After Dark is a steamy, character-driven romance filled with power, temptation, and the dangerous pull of a secret relationship. For readers who crave tension, intimacy, and the thrill of crossing every line you were told not to, this story will keep you turning pages long after the lights go out.

Consumed by grief and vengeance, Isla sets her sights on the one person she holds responsible: Antonio’s son, Dante DeLuca. But as she infiltrates the DeLuca empire, seeking to destroy the man who ruined her life, Isla finds herself entangled in a dangerous game with Dante—one she never expected. Dante is everything Isla hates, yet there’s an undeniable connection between them that pulls her deeper into his world. Her mission was simple: destroy Antonio. But as her obsession with Dante grows, she must decide if vengeance will be worth the cost of losing herself—and the man she never thought she’d desire. In a twisted dance of power, passion, and revenge, Isla’s love for her father’s memory might just lead her into a darker path than she ever imagined, and Dante’s unrelenting obsession with her could either be their salvation or their doom. Will Isla’s thirst for revenge cloud her judgment, or will she finally come to terms with the truth that her heart may already belong to the enemy? ---

During a mission overseas, I shielded my younger brother from an explosion—only to wake up months later, my body broken, my mind trapped in the void of a coma. Grateful for my sacrifice, he repaid me by marrying my wife. When I finally clawed my way back to consciousness and rushed home, I found my son kneeling on the ground, sobbing as his college acceptance letter lay shredded in his fists. My nephew loomed over him, slamming a steel pipe into his back. "Lick my shoes clean," he sneered. "Who are you to think you deserve an education?" And there was my wife clapping in delight, dabbing the sweat from my nephew’s brow like a doting servant. "You’re just like your deadbeat father," My wife spat. "Born to be my stepping stone." My eyes bloodshot, I tightened my fists. Every last one of them would pay for this dearly.
