🥀 After all, one must have hobbies.

Dark Desires and Daggerwork

Canto VII Collegium isn’t just a hallowed institution for the dark magics—it’s also a place where passions flare as hot as Guldan’s nether... ambitions.

When Ambrose Flameheart, a dramatic fire mage with cheekbones sharp enough to slice through shadoweave, is forced to work alongside Mourvalis Gravewither, a brooding warlock with a penchant for shirtless ritual sacrifices, sparks fly.

Literally—they accidentally ignite a summoning circle.

Enter Mourvalis Gravewither, a vision of dramatic chaos—shirtless (as usual), his long raven hair flowing behind him despite the complete absence of any discernable source of wind, and carrying a suspiciously ornate dagger dripping with blood. A lot of it.

He stalks into the chamber, voice pitched for maximum theatrical effect.

“Flameheart! Still pretending precision is more important than power, I see.”

Ambrose doesn't need to look up to know Mourvalis is giving that insufferable smirk, the one that would be so satisfying to slap off his face.

He arches a brow, voice bone-dry as he continues stirring the cauldron. “Hmm... Gravewither. Still confusing power with pointless shirtlessness, I see.”

This story brought to you by workshopping puns with warlock friends and being asked, oddly more than once, if Elu writes romance novels.

(And somehow, this became a terribly involved proof of concept.)

Blurred Motivations (WIP - Currently on Chapter 28)

"Each puff, each line, each little pill should have been enough to drown Dane out, to take me somewhere else. And sometimes it did, for a moment, making my mind blank, letting the ache fade into a numb haze. But it never lasted. Moments later, he'd still be there, clawing back into my mind. Sometimes the drugs only made it worse, amplifying every thought, every memory of him, every damn second I'd spent hating him and wanting him."

Blurred Motivations follows Damien Vanderbilt, a guy who’s used to having everything go his way. But when Dane Lockhart publicly humiliates him, Damien's world flips upside down. He can’t just let it slide—no, he’s determined to get back at Dane in the most twisted way possible. What starts as a revenge plot quickly becomes something much more complicated… and much darker.

Their rivalry? It's full of tension, manipulation, and chemistry neither of them can deny (no matter how hard they try). As their worlds collide, Damien realizes he's not just obsessed with payback anymore—he’s obsessed with Dane.

What you can Expect:

Enemies-to-lovers with dark, addictive tension

Manipulation, obsession, and mind games

Emotional conflicts

Content Warnings:

Strong language and derogatory slurs

Physical violence

Stalking behaviors

Manipulative and toxic dynamics

Explicit sexual content (smut)

I 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 lose control.

Just one moment of happiness might bring forth the evil that taints my blood. So, I stick to satisfying other people’s fantasies with my kink dating app.

That’s how I found 𝘩𝘦𝘳.

Regan Everglow is sweet. Deserving of all the beauty this life has to offer.

But she’s known darkness, too. Her control was stolen from her years ago. Now, she’s ready to take it back.

And I’m going to help.

I wish I could say my intentions were pure. But they’re not.

Truth is, I’m obsessed with her. I’d stalk her to the ends of the earth.

Because she draws out the beast I keep locked inside me, like a moth to a flame—and she has no idea how far that beast would go to protect her. She’s about to find out, though.

So is any man who even thinks of touching 𝘮𝘺 Regan again…

Steamy Romance™ Love & Lore

Arthas & Jaina- Cold Hearted

Steamy Saturday

"The lemonade was spiked. The woman was near naked. . . . he hadn't wanted her advances."

". . . he began to find that peaceful co-existence was a hard endeavor."

"His twilight path began shortly after Mildred had seduced him, but the second seduction being by a boy near his own age."

". . . you can't help but feel a kindred sorrow for this boy. . . ."

"But it was another of many episodes which caused him to become Lost on Twilight Road."

Young Lonny knew who he was and what he desired, but the machinations of others forced their values and desires on him . . . until he met Gene Styles. Such is the premise of Lost on Twilight Road by James Colton, published in Fresno, California by National Library Books in 1964. Fortunately, there is a happy ending for Lonny and Gene, which is not always the case in 1950s and 60s gay fiction.

James Colton is a pseudonym for the popular American crime writer and poet Joseph Hansen (1923–2004). In the 1960s he wrote for the American pro-gay publication ONE, and later hosted a radio show called Homosexuality Today, and helped organize the first Gay Pride Parade in Hollywood. His Dave Brandstetter private-eye series features a hardboiled private investigator who is also openly gay, and is cited as a groundbreaking character in gay fiction and crime fiction. Hansen was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Private Eye Writers of America, as well as two Lambda Literary Awards for Gay Mystery from the Lambda Literary Foundation.

The publisher, National Library Books, was founded by Sanford Aday and Wallace de Ortega Maxey, members of the American gay rights organization, Mattachine Society.

SNEAK PEEK REVIEW: The Fiancé Dilemma by Elena Armas

I love a new spin on an old trope, and this one was so much fun. Our heroine never could’ve predicted that the near-stranger who saved her from an awkward situation – by faking an engagement – would end up being the one. That means they’re quickly falling for each other as a very real wedding day approaches, and that is terrifying to a woman who has been a runway bride (on more than one…

@mirilyawrites contacted me awhile back to ask about binding my story and it came in the mail a few days ago and when I tell you that I screamed. Like, my cat was concerned for me. But I can't tell you how it felt to hold my own story in this form in my hands. The book is so beautiful and the binding is so professional and I keep it near me all the time.

I think I'm finally ready to start writing my second book.

The muses have granted me visions that I simply must put to paper, and it would be wrong to waste the opportunity.

Here's hoping it doesn't end up as long as Synia and I can actually get it published one day!
