May 19, 2025 | Unwritten Desires: Chapter 1

Jewel stands at a crossroads, teetering between potential disaster and a thrilling leap forward in her career. Begrudgingly, she agrees to the unthinkable: co-writing a romance novel with the infuriatingly talented Griffin Royce, the so-called “Prince of Paranormal.” His brooding charm? Infuriating. His hordes of fans? Frenzied beyond belief. And his ego? It could barely squeeze into her tiny Brooklyn apartment.

Their collaboration was supposed to be strictly business—finish the manuscript, hit the deadline, and ignore the unsettling flutter in her stomach every time he flashes that maddening smirk. But fate, it seems, has a twisted sense of humor.

To Griffin, his career felt like a joke. His public persona? Overbearing. His followers? Alarmingly intense. And Jewel Marino’s wit? Sharp enough to cut through his bravado like a hot knife through butter.

Underneath the caustic sarcasm, the grueling marathon writing sessions, and those innocent touches that linger far too low, Jewel feels an insatiable hunger growing within her—a desire that sears through her veins, demanding more than just a simple writing partnership.
He is all too aware of the dark specters that haunt her past and the harsh, unforgiving glare of reality that looms over their fragile fairy tale. Can Griffin wield his pen like a sword, slashing through the chains of her history? Or is Jewel inscribing her own destiny, one that spirals inexorably toward shattering heartbreak?
