A.L. MARUGA
Dark romance with a spicy kick!
Are you ready to go on this rollercoaster ride of obsession?
The Queen's Serpent
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?
**The Queen’s Serpent is a dark enemy to lovers, obsession, kidnapping with a love triangle, and why choose elements romance. The FMC will add to her list of men (2) as the duet progresses. This is a dark romance; please check the TW/CW. Your mental health matters. **

Be My Sinner
Available November 14th, 2023
Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
F*&k that; all I do is want. I want violence. I want to be consumed by rage. I want to see the burning fires of hell spread amongst those who buried me in a shallow grave and forgot about me—leaving me to rot without a single thought.
Forgive my sins and trespasses, Father. I assure you; I know exactly what I do.
The Sinner:
A Sacred woman must be pious, meek, and obedient. She must pray at the altar of the Brotherhood and seek salvation on her knees. Fornication is a sin, yet it’s used as a reward for some and a punishment for others.
They expected me to wither away, die of loneliness, out of sight where their sins against me and mine no longer confronted them.
The thing about sinners is that we love to feast, and I am the biggest one of them all.
The Protector:
I hide in the shadows, always watching, always ensuring her safety. A task that has become more difficult as the years have gone by. She has turned from a teenager into the stunning woman before me. A Sacred woman, filled with rage and out to cleanse this world of their sins. Can I keep her safe, or am I destined to pay the same price at the hands of the Order that I serve?
The Forsaker & Liar:
We are ruthless princes of the Order of the Brotherhood of the Sacrament, untouchable, sinful, and without remorse. We take what and whom we wish and use them for our unholy and depraved needs. She will be no exception. She belongs to us; she was always destined to be ours. Wolves in sheep's clothing have a need to eat, and we are ravenous.
Are you ready to bow before the altar of the Brotherhood on your knees?

Be My Sinner is available on Kindle Unlimited and in paperback & hardback.

Corrupted Kingdom
They say at the end, you will find peace. Where is my peace? All I have left now is rage.
​
I was deceived, discarded, and abandoned by the kings of Casbury. My heart led me into peril when I should have stayed the course and taken my revenge.
I’m now lost in a world of horrors and darkness. One that threatens to take my sanity and destroy my very soul.
Will I survive my fate? Will they survive my vengeance when I return?
There will be nothing left of us when I am done. This is the end of this corrupted kingdom. I am going to burn it all down to the ground.

Are you ready to go back to the beginning?
Welcome to Stella's & Jaxon's story!
The Prize
I was raised in a world filled with opulence, where anything is available at your fingertips for the right price.
I was trapped in a gilded golden cage, a facade for the prison I live in.
​
Reduced to being a possession sought out by the greed of wealthy men. A phoenix ready to rise from her ashes and confinement.
​
Tarnished, meek and broken…or so they thought.
The Victor
The spoils of war go to the victor, and I am at the top of this food chain.
​
Power, wealth, and control are mine for the taking. There was just one thing missing in my empire: a crown jewel needed to complete my reign.
​
She was mine before she even knew it, a beautiful prize passed from the hands of one wealthy man to another.
My new little ice queen will help further my legacy while she fights the bonds of her captivity.
Will we both end up shattering like shards of glass in the process of this war against each other or can we build the rise of our kingdom side by side?
