The Blackwater Collection
The Blackwater Collection is a dark M/M romance series spanning centuries of betrayal, violence, forbidden love, and the secrets that built Blackwater City.
From rival assassins hiding behind masks in 1822 to modern-day heirs uncovering the crimes their families buried, every story leads back to the same truth: Blackwater was built on blood. Its most powerful families have spent generations silencing witnesses, destroying lovers, and protecting a legacy of murder beneath the symbol of a black crow over dark water.
Across eleven interconnected novels, men are forced to choose between family loyalty and the people they love. Princes flee into deadly forests. Heirs inherit burned estates and hidden rooms. Former friends return to the places that broke them. Enemies become lovers while anonymous notes, sealed ledgers, old photographs, and secret societies pull them deeper into Blackwater’s past.
At the heart of it all is the Founders’ Masquerade, the night a city was born under a lie and a love story was turned into a weapon.

Velvet Knife
In Blackwater City, loyalty is bought in blood.
Dorian Veyr has spent his life as House Veyr’s deadliest weapon. Known as the Velvet Knife, he leaves black velvet beside the bodies of the people he is ordered to kill. Silas Thorne is everything Dorian was raised to hate: the favored assassin of a rival house, cold, merciless, and always one step too close to ending him.
When a mysterious killer begins murdering members of both royal bloodlines, Dorian and Silas are forced into the same dangerous game. At a masked masquerade, neither knows the identity of the stranger behind the other’s mask. For one stolen night, they are not enemies. They are not assassins. They are simply two men drawn together by something neither of them can afford.
Then the masks come off.
As Blackwater’s ruling families push toward war, Dorian and Silas uncover a conspiracy built to destroy them both. They must decide whether to obey the people who shaped them into weapons or betray everything they have ever known for the one person they were never supposed to want.
In a city built on secrets, loving your enemy may be the most dangerous thing either of them has ever done.

Writing and publishing a book takes far more than imagination - it also comes with expenses for editing, formatting, cover design, proof copies, publishing, and promotion.
