"Tell me to stop, Ruth," he whispered, letting his minty breathe fan over my lips. He sounded desperate.. broken. As it has always been with us, the word 'stop' was on the tip on my tongue, but what came out was entirely different. Cupping his face between my hands, I swallowed the lump in my throat, unable to make myself fight him - or myself - anymore. It was a losing battle, anyways. Looking him straight in the eye, I whispered back, "don't stop, Caleb. Not now... Not ever." ****** At first glance, Ruth Brooke's new boss Caleb Cross gave the impression of an immature, flirty playboy. At second glance, her first impressions were unsurprisingly confirmed. But what was surprising was the absence of her usual reaction to a casanova. Instead of dismissing him for the sarcastic player that he was, Ruth unwillingly feels drawn to him. She has always judged a book by its cover. But she is soon to find out that Caleb Cross is someone who has a shiny, new cover on every page of his book. And it is up to her to peel it off and discover the real Caleb Cross in all his gore, without losing her heart in the process. // Hey readers! This is my first novel, so please bear with me.

In a time when kingdoms rose and fell beneath the echo of church bells and moonlit towers, Amara Selene Aurelia, daughter of a noble governor, lived a life of grace and order. Her days were filled with sunlight, gentle laughter, and the scent of parchment and roses — until the night she dreamed of the clock that struck twelve. From that moment, her world began to fracture. When Amara meets Severin Caelum Mordane, a man of bronze skin and haunting eyes, she feels an inexplicable pull — a strange sense of familiarity, as though she had known him long before they ever met. Severin’s presence is magnetic yet unsettling, his words carrying echoes of a forgotten past. Soon after, Amara begins to see things no one else can — shadows moving behind candlelight, whispers in the halls, and faces from dreams that seem too real to ignore. As she searches for answers, the line between her memories and reality starts to blur, revealing secrets buried deep within her bloodline and the curse that binds her family. The deeper she dives, the more she uncovers about Severin — a man who should not exist, and yet holds the key to her forgotten past. In the heart of every vision, every echo of the midnight bell, lies one truth waiting to be awakened. And when the clock strikes twelve again… Amara must face the one thing she fears most — the truth about who she really is.

A compassionate girl with a lot of dreams meets with a car accident and wakes up to a completely different reality, finding out there are dark forces trying to hunt her down, and she must survive at any cost. Will she be able to accept this new world as her own reality? Will she survive entrusting her life in the hands of a complete stranger yet a charming one?
