Golden Steam

Crimsade
I never wanted the role of Golden Steam, but I suppose fate dealt its hand. I often wonder how we are defined as a person. Is it because of our past? How do we act in the present? Or how we plan for the future. Our actions. Our relationships. Our histories. Our guilt. Even if I think I could run away from it all, I can’t. I have to honor her will. In this city of never-ending steam, that is all that I can do to atone for my sins. Or so I believed until her daughter walked into my life. But I could never tell her the truth. Not about how her mother died, nor about the monster that lurks within the darkness. I have to destroy it. I have to save the city, the last bastion of humanity. Before, there was nothing left to save from the Void Spawn. But…how could I?

Bloodstained Vows

In the shadowed underbelly of New York City, two once-innocent hearts are forged anew in betrayal and bloodshed. Elena Rossi was the untouchable princess of the second-largest mafia family—pampered, protected, and promised a life without stains. Until the night her father is gunned down, shattering her world and leaving her clan teetering on collapse. Her only salvation lies with the man she once loved and now despises: Luca Moretti, the ruthless boss of the rival Moretti empire. The boy who stole her first kiss under summer stars has returned from five years abroad as a cold, lethal predator—scarred, unforgiving, and more powerful than ever. Desperate for revenge and survival, Elena swallows her pride and begs for his alliance. Luca agrees... but his price is cruel and intimate. She must become his mistress—body, nights, and secrets surrendered completely. Every touch reignites old flames; every argument ends in bruising passion. As they hunt her father's killers together, buried truths surface: the assassination was no simple power grab, but a deeper conspiracy that threatens both empires. Hatred twists into obsession. Revenge becomes redemption. And the line between enemy and lover blurs until it shatters entirely. In a world where trust is a luxury and love is a weapon, Elena and Luca must decide: will they burn everything down for vengeance... or build something unbreakable from the ashes? A steamy, second-chance enemies-to-lovers mafia romance packed with face-slapping tension, slow-burn fire, weak-to-strong heroine growth, dark secrets, and a love that could destroy them both.
