When Julia Harrow arrives at Blackwood Hall after the sudden death of her cousin, she expects mourning, a will, and polite condolences. But from the moment she steps through the iron gates, nothing feels right. The house is too quiet. The air too thick. And the man who now owns it—Alistair Blackwood—is as devastating as he is unreadable. Secrets pulse behind every locked door. Shadows move when no one is near. And the scent of her cousin still lingers in the halls, clinging like a warning. Drawn into a world of velvet lies and dangerous charm, Julia begins to lose time, lose trust, lose herself. Dreams bleed into reality. Passion turns to poison. And as desire tangles with dread, one question haunts her every breath: Did she come here by choice… or was she summoned? The Portrait of Lady Marian is a lush, slow-burning descent into madness, obsession, and a love story that should never have happened. Sinister, sensual, and dripping in dread, this is not a tale you read— it’s one you survive.

Reyji, Ardh, and Rick are not heroes. They are a family forged by a mentor, Luke, who taught them how to survive the mean streets of Jefferson City. When Luke is brutally murdered, their world fractures into a single, bloody purpose: find his killer, the fugitive Camoya, and make him pay. But the hunt is a trap. The police want Camoya dead for what he knows, not for what he did. And Camoya himself is not hiding; he's on a desperate, suicidal mission to expose the city's darkest secret—a secret guarded by the city's most powerful and corrupt kingpin, Mr. Grand. In three days, a chase for vengeance will become a race for the truth. A man will become a martyr in a blaze of fire, a trio's bond will be broken by betrayal, and three boys will learn the hard way that in Jefferson City, justice is a myth, and everyone is for sale.

¿Si pudieras describir a tu jefe como lo harías? Una emocionada Emilia Vladi responde ante las preguntas de la reportera. —Es gentil, amable, respetuoso, es la que uno aspira a ser de grande, que tus empleados te miren y te vean como un ejemplo. La reportera inclina la cabeza, pero las palabras de la joven son sinceras, ella siente todo lo que acaba de decir, siente que su jefe es un persona intachable. La reportera termina de hacer las preguntas y se apaga el micrófono, Emilia se levanta y la reportera suelta un comentario. —Que se puede esperar de las secretarias, usualmente son las amantes - ríe en voz baja y luego alza la mirada para ver el ceño fruncido de la joven. Ella camina rápido y choca con fuerza con alguien y mira hacia arriba. Se miran por unos segundos y ella avanza. “Ya nos habíamos visto antes" - siempre se lo repite. Emilia Vladi y Edu Costa viene de dos mundos totalmente diferentes. Mientras ella siempre dice pobre el jefe, por qué siempre lo escucha pelear por teléfono con su hijo, ella se pregunta quién es él... ¿ Qué pasará el día en que ellos se encuentren?
