Marrying the Wrong Pembroke
Marrying the Wrong Pembroke is a completed 92-chapter contemporary romance novel featuring revenge, family secrets, billionaires, and a marriage of convenience.
The story follows Aria Bennett, a woman determined to uncover the truth about her sister's death and recover her stolen nephew. When Grant Pembroke, the heir to a powerful family, hires her to crash his engagement and help him escape an arranged marriage, Aria sees an opportunity to get close to the very family she wants to destroy. Instead of walking away, she decides to marry him.
This project showcases my ability to develop strong female characters, create high-stakes conflicts, build romantic tension, write dramatic twists, and maintain plot continuity across a long-form commercial novel. It also demonstrates my experience writing billionaire romance, revenge-driven plots, family drama, and engaging chapter endings.

Proud to share my latest completed design package, curated specifically for Contemporary Romance, New Adult, or Literary Fiction authors.
When designing this, my goal was to blend evocative, painterly textures with highly clean modern typography to capture themes of nostalgia, emotional depth, and memories. To give self-published authors the ultimate launch toolkit, I expanded this full-print wrap into a cohesive branding bundle.
Share your thoughts!
Blending painterly textures with clean typography is a smart move for New Adult covers. It helps balance the emotional weight of the story with the modern aesthetic that performs well in digital storefronts.
Check out this after video of a website rewrite I did. It came out stunning!
"We all have a story we will never tell."
I am proud to officially introduce my latest premium fiction design asset, tailored specifically for Psychological Thriller, Mystery, or Suspense authors looking to elevate their book's commercial appeal.
In book design, your cover has less than three seconds to tell a reader exactly what emotion they will experience. With this custom layout, my focus was blending atmospheric light play with clean, cinematic typography to create an instant narrative hook.
The three second rule often gets overhyped because readers usually spend more time scanning shelves than they do staring at a single cover. A strong emotional hook really needs to survive that longer, slower browsing process to actually convert.
