Lethal - Wellard Asylum Shared World
Darkest
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒍𝒔 𝑻𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒏𝒐𝒘.
Welcome to the bowels of Wellard Asylum, where desire is dangerous and deadly, and madness has a face. 𝓣𝔀𝓸, 𝓲𝓷 𝓯𝓪𝓬𝓽.
Twins Wren and Bash Norwood are serial killers, monsters in the eyes of the world. But to Dr. Caterina Vaughan, they are something far more treacherous, something intense and fascinating that she can’t seem to keep her professional distance from.
As their therapy sessions blur into manipulative mind games and fantasy twists into fixation, Caterina is seduced into an unhinged web of fractured truths and buried violence. The deeper she delves into their psyches, the harder it becomes to tell whether she’s curing them or they’re awakening something darker that lies deep within her.
One whispers in riddles and chaos. The other paints her with words dipped in blood, using his mind to wrap her in his sinister games. Both are broken. Both are always watching, always waiting for an opportunity to sate their hunger. Both see something in Caterina that no one else ever has.
Now, neither intends to let her go, at least not 𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆.
They say love is a kind of 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔, but in Wellard Asylum, it might just be the deadliest 𝒔𝒊𝒏, and there’s no way to escape your 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆.

Stalking Christmas
Darkest
Santa:
She caught my attention when she shouldn’t have. My sweet, little temptation has made it to the top of Santa’s naughty list, and rather than a lump of coal, she’ll be getting a collar and a prison of my making for Christmas.
I’m about to wrap this beautiful, seductive gift up and devour her for the holidays. Who says Santa doesn’t deliver your deepest, darkest desires?
The Gift:
One moment, I was free, living my life and preparing for the misery of the holidays, and the next, a mystery man was messaging me and enticing me with my naughtiest fantasies.
All, however, is not what it seems. Rather than a spicy encounter in a darkened room, I find myself a captive for the holidays and kidnapped by a psychopath. The question is, will I still be alive to welcome the new year when he’s done with me?
Stalking Christmas is a dark stalker; he falls first, forced proximity romance. This book is standalone and has a Christmas theme.

Venom Series
The Queen's Serpent
Darkest
The Serpent:
A thief, a liar, a villain. Shameless. Fate finally did me a solid by placing her in my sights. I stole an exquisite and priceless jewel right from underneath her powerful family’s noses.
The minute I laid my cruel and jaded eyes on her, I knew she would be mine, and no one would be able to stop me from having her.
I take what I want with no regrets, and my pretty broken doll has become an obsession, one that I can no longer live without, so I won’t.
Isabella Stratford doesn’t know it yet, but she’s about to become my whole world, as my prisoner, and one day soon, as the woman who helps me control the cartels.
The Queen:
I was perfect on the outside, the picture of wealth, elegance, and privilege, but fractured and damaged on the inside. I am nothing but a beautiful tool for my family to use to grow our power and our empire. That is until an unhinged villain steals me right out from under their powerful grasp.
My survival is now dependent on a cruel and vicious man who would break me into smaller, jagged pieces in order to put me back together to rule his underworld kingdom at his side.
His obsession with me knows no restraints; his brand of affection is dangerous and deadly. Can I even survive his world, or will this be the end of me? What about the one I left behind? Will I ever see him again?
Will we both cut ourselves open on my sharp edges, or will we find a way of surviving against all the odds and this cruel world?

Her Venomous King
Dark
The Serpent:
She ran from me and thought that she would get away. She's been hiding for years, hoping that I'd release her from my obsession, but the time apart has only fueled it further. I will have my broken doll back; she belongs to me, and I'll painfully remove anyone who stands in my way.
She will either rule as my cartel queen by my side, or meet her end by my bloody hands. There are no other outcomes for her. She must endure my venom or perish. A serpent shows no mercy.
The Queen:
His obsession and need to control me fueled my escape. I've been hiding for years, pretending to be someone else and living happily with my other love. I should have known Diego would never give up. He's a coiled snake waiting to strike, and now he's found me. Will I survive his insanity and rage?
What will he do to Kai now that he has realized I was with him all these years? My newfound strength is failing me as his venomous poison spreads once again through my veins. Is this when my life ends at the hands of a man who claims to love me?
The Healer:
She was mine long before she was his. My exquisite rose, fragile, fervent, and terrified of the beast that stalks her. All I desire is to protect her, and hold her in my arms forever.
How do I stop an unhinged psychopath from taking what I love the most away from me? Will we survive once he's sunk his fangs into us? I love her, but can I let her go if it means she survives without me?
