I am officially pulling back the heavy brass curtain on my newest project! I’ve been living in the soot and starlight of this world for a long time, and I’m so excited to finally share it.

Dropping on Wattpad: April 12, 2026

🗝️ THE SYNOPSIS

In the smog-choked city of Rayne, power isn't a resource—it’s a captive.

Kaelen is an "acquisition specialist" who lives by a simple code: get in, get the score, and never look back. His latest contract is the kind of job that buys a man a new life: break into the legendary Vault of Mahr-Kez and retrieve the Aeon Heart, a relic said to hold the flickering pulse of a dying empire.

But inside the vault, suspended by chains of blackened iron and brass gears, isn't a machine. It's Lyra—a daughter of the High Firmament whose wings of starlight have been pinned back for three centuries to keep the city’s lights burning.

✨ THE VIBE / TROPES

Steampunk Heist: High-stakes break-ins and clockwork nightmares.

Grumpy x Sunshine (Lethal Version): A cynical thief who just wants to get paid vs. a captive goddess who could burn the city to the ground.

"Oh no, the treasure is a person": The moment the contract goes up in flames.

Soot and Starlight: Gritty industrial streets meets celestial magic.

THE PERFECT BLEND ROMANCES: A Cozy Coffee Shop Series

📚 Second Chance Love

👩‍❤️‍👨 Oblivious Love / Pining

❄️ Forced Proximity (in a blizzard, no less!)

📝 Corporate Manager vs. Local Artisan

✨ Found Family in a Small Business

MEET THE COUPLES (AESTHETICS):

1. THE DAILY GRIND (Allie & Charlie)

VIBE: Old-school movie pining, secret glances over the steam wand, the feeling of finally breaking through winter ice.

Aesthetics: Cozy cardigan sweaters, perfectly measured lattes, worn history books, the lingering scent of espresso.

The Hook: Allie (The Silent Admirer) vs. Charlie (The Emotional Glacier). She’s giving signals; he’s talking about ancient civilizations. How do you get through to a man made of ice?

Status: PUBLISHED! Start Reading Now!

2. THE ARTISAN'S POUR (Ezra & Piper)

VIBE: The tension of two professionals who are too good at what they do, only to be ruined by glitter and shared midnight work sessions.

Aesthetics: Meticulous binders, chaotic event mood boards, dark-roasted beans, spilled glitter, flour dusting the back of a black apron.

The Hook: Ezra (The Grumpy Barista) vs. Piper (The Exuberant Party Planner). He's trying to save his shop with a binder; she's trying to save it with a full-blown carnival. The only thing they can agree on is that the other is highly distracting.

Status: RELEASING DEC 20TH!

3. THE MISTLETOE MIX (Aidyn & Noelle)

VIBE: Enemies to Lovers, high stakes, the magic of being trapped together when the world shuts down, and reclaiming the past.

Aesthetics: Festively decorated cocoa stands, corporate aprons ripped off in frustration, shared wool blankets, a snowstorm outside the window, a second-chance kiss.

The Hook: Aidyn (The Corporate Logic) vs. Noelle (The Cozy Chaos). They were sweethearts until he chose ambition. Now, a blizzard forces them to decide if they're rivals or partners—in business, and in life.

"The Daily Grind: A Barista Love Story" by Raven M Roberts is officially PUBLISHED and ready to be binge-read on Wattpad!

If you love these tropes, you need this story:

✅ Slow Burn: Six months of silent longing! ✅ Opposites in Communication: She's the shy "Silent Admirer," he's the oblivious "Emotional Glacier." ✅ Coffee Shop AU: Where the regular customer finally notices the barista. ✅ Pining: So much pining. And vanilla lattes.

Stop by The Daily Grind and watch Allie and Charlie finally get on the same page. You're going to love them (and maybe hate Charlie's obliviousness a little bit). 😉

MEET THE COUPLE:

Allie: The sweet barista. Highly observant. Incapable of direct communication when she’s nervous. (#TheSilentAdmirer)

Charlie: The handsome regular. Great hair. Totally blind to subtle hints. (#TheEmotionalGlacier)

THE CONFLICT: Allie is afraid of rejection, and Charlie can't read a signal if it was spelled out in latte art. Their dynamic is 100% pure, awkward, slow-burn goodness.

Will the dragon lighter ever be replaced by a date night? Find out soon!

My laptop's charger decided that it no longer wanted to be among the living. I did try to keep writing via my phone, and I HATED that so much, so I just took the time to be with my wife, which I loved. My wife is so amazing, and deserves the world. We, in that time, had our daughter!(pic attached) Well, My wife decided it was time that I got back to writing, and we got a new charger, and the same day, I got back on the horse, so to speak. I've got a new story in the works, and have gotten back to work on a couple of WIPs I had marinating. I'm glad to be back!

Beauty and the Beast

In the high-octane world of professional wrestling, sparks fly both inside and outside the ring. Tessa is a daring high-flyer with a knack for technical mastery, fearless in every match — and impossible to ignore. Jesse, the imposing powerhouse known as the Beast, is just as relentless, but beneath the muscles and bravado, he’s hiding a heart that only Tessa seems capable of unlocking.

Thrown together as an unlikely tag team, they clash, banter, and challenge each other at every turn. As their chemistry ignites, so does a tension that neither can resist — on-camera, off-camera, and in the spaces between.

Enemies? Teammates? Lovers? With every move in the ring, every stolen glance backstage, Tessa and Jesse will discover that the greatest risk might not be losing a match… but falling for each other.

Silas Thorne had it all — fame, fans, and a career in the ring he’d built from the ground up. Until one injury nearly ended everything. Now, with his career on the line and the world moving on without him, the only person who refuses to let him fall is Carrie Thomas — his friend, his manager… and maybe something more. From the quiet struggle of rehab to the roar of the crowd, Through the Ropes is a story of pain, passion, and the fight to rise again.
