She perfected the art of invisibility.
He perfected the art of obsession.
Lena Monroe has everything: a powerful husband, a beautiful Geneva home—a life that looks flawless from the outside. But inside, she’s disappearing fast. Her only true escape? Writing forbidden, filthy novels under a secret pen name. Her words are dark… and definitely not for public consumption.
Enter Dr. Daniel Carter: brilliant, dangerous, out for revenge against the man who destroyed his career (hint: Lena’s husband). Seducing Lena was supposed to be his weapon.
But then Daniel stumbles on Lena’s secret pages—her unfulfilled fantasies, her hidden cravings, every dark desire she’s too scared to say out loud. Now? Destroying her husband isn’t enough. Daniel wants to give Lena every wicked thing she’s written about—whether she’s ready or not.
When the man sent to break you becomes the only one who truly sees you…

Carter Dynasty Trilogy, Book 2
She tried to choose safe. She tried to be a good wife, a good mother, the woman who could make herself whole by force of will and perfectly filtered posts. But the hunger never left. Daniel Carter still lives under her skin, haunting every touch—even while her husband tells the world he’s proud to love a “dark romance queen.”
Now Lena Monroe is Mara Black—dangerous, honest, finally visible. But the more she feeds the world her stories, the more Daniel pushes her from fantasy into addiction. Late night texts. Lingering shadows. The promise: you’re not just writing it, you’re living it now.
Mark thinks he can protect her, own her, even play her games. But Daniel knows better.
Some desires can’t be buried.
Some men refuse to let you go—even when you beg them to.
Some women can’t be kept safe, because when the fire’s inside you, safety just means you burn slower.
Yours is where pretending ends—and true surrender begins.
🌶️🌶️🌶️ Explicit, Dual POV, deeper obsession, even bigger stakes.
Book 2 of The Carter Dynasty Trilogy.
For mature, messed-up, and dangerously hungry hearts only.
I was Daniel Carter’s perfect submissive. Until he left me broken, used up, and hollowed out.
Now I’m stitching myself back together one medical residency shift at a time. Healing. Control. I swore no man would ever own me again.
Then Mark Monroe strides back into my life. CEO of Geneva’s most powerful medical empire, my former boss, and the man I always secretly admired, even before everything changed.
He wants revenge on Daniel for stealing and discarding his wife. I just want Daniel gone from my mind forever.
Mark has become harder over the years, crueler, the kind of man who takes what he wants, including other men’s wives. I know I should stay away.
But this weekend, when his voice drops low and he says, “On your knees, baby girl,” every promise I made to myself crumbles.
I’m terrified of surrendering again. Terrified of how much I still want him.
Yet the way he touches me, protects me, claims me, it isn’t just dominance. It’s something deeper. Something that makes the broken parts of me feel whole.
Mark Monroe doesn’t want my submission.
He wants to own me. Completely. Mind. Body. Soul.
And the most terrifying part? I’m starting to believe I was always meant to be his.
BROKEN RULES is a dark, obsessive romance packed with corporate medical intrigue, healing through raw power exchange, and a possessive CEO who’ll burn the world down for what’s his. Spicy. Gritty. Emotionally brutal. HEA guaranteed, but you’ll bleed for it.
Geneva.
One man. Two women.
No one is safe.
Liam Morel swore he’d protect the good girl, Élise, but it’s the girl from his past, Sophie, who still haunts his mind and body.
When Sophie storms back into town, desire and old wounds explode. Élise starts to see the cracks and finds escape in the arms of Dr. Theo Marchetti, Geneva’s answer to “bad decisions but make it sexy.”
Staying is slow heartbreak. Leaving costs everything.
Almost Yours is a dark romance about secrets, obsession, and what happens when loving “right” feels all wrong.

Publication note:
Almost Yours is part of The Almost Series and contains the first part of a story originally published in the novel Burn With Me by Cara Ravelli.
Liam Morel chose Élise. He chose loyalty, stability, the life that made sense after everything they lost. It should have been enough.
It wasn’t.
Sophie Dubois was never something he could replace. What they had didn’t fade when he left—it waited. And when he finds his way back to her, it doesn’t feel like a mistake. It feels like recognition.
What begins in secrecy becomes routine. Days with Élise. Nights with Sophie. A life carefully divided, until the lines stop holding.
Sophie no longer asks for promises. Élise no longer believes in them. And Liam, caught between the man he tried to be and the one he can’t stop becoming, realizes too late that wanting both isn’t the same as keeping either.
Élise is the one who ends it.
But losing her doesn’t give him peace.
Because what he has with Sophie was never something he chose.
It was always something he couldn’t escape.
Prefer to listen? Never Enough is also available as an audiobook on Spotify.
The complete novel of Liam Morel and Sophie Dubois’s story.
Years ago, in a hospital room heavy with antiseptic and unfinished promises, Noah made his best friend Liam and the woman he loved swear something neither of them truly understood.
A promise that would change all their lives.
Now Noah is gone.
But the promise remains.
Liam Morel and Élise Adler have built their lives around it—around guilt, silence, and the ghost of a man who should still be there. Control is the only way Liam knows how to survive. Élise clings to the life she believes Noah wanted for her.
And then Sophie Dubois comes back.
Sophie has always burned for Liam. Always known the darkness behind his perfect restraint. She should stay away from him—and from the fragile life Élise is trying to hold together.
But some desires refuse to stay buried.
In Geneva’s most dangerous circles, where power hides behind old money and older secrets, love is never simple and loyalty can become a weapon.
Sooner or later, someone will have to break the promise.
Burn With Me is a dark, emotionally charged romance about grief, obsession, and the dangerous line between control and surrender.
Explicit romance — for mature readers.

Important Note from the Author
This novel is not a BDSM manual, and it isn’t an American-style dark romance filled with mafia violence or shock scenes.
It is the story of Liam Morel — a young man struggling to reconcile who he is with what the world expects him to be. His dominance is psychological, shaped by grief, loyalty, and the rigid traditions of the Sceau Blanc, an old Swiss society built on reputation and control.
Inside you will find explicit scenes, emotional power dynamics, grief, manipulation, and trauma.
If you’re looking for a cozy romance, this is probably not your book.
But if you enjoy stories about complicated people making impossible choices — welcome.
Take Me Higher
THE OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK OF BURN WITH ME
Cara Ravelli is a psychologist and author who writes emotionally charged contemporary romance where desire is never safe, love never plays by the rules, and truth hurts as much as it tempts.
Her stories live in the space between burning restraint and irresistible obsession, where stolen intimacy always comes with consequences you cannot forget. Cara is obsessed with characters who make the wrong choices for the right reasons and only discover who they are in the beautiful wreckage that follows.
Readers know her for slow burn intensity, unapologetic sensuality, and raw psychological depth. Her novels don’t just get read, they linger, they haunt, they shake things up. She loves to set her stories in hidden corners of Europe—snowy villages on Lake Geneva, secret cafés, midnight artist studios where the smallest touch can change everything.
She writes somewhere in Europe, fueled by strong black coffee, sleepless nights, and an almost suspicious addiction to complicated stories—the kind that hurt, the kind that heal, and the kind that refuse to be simple.
Her books are not about perfection. They are about truth.
You can find her books and audiobooks on all major platforms. For behind-the-scenes content, audio exclusives, and ARC opportunities, follow Cara Ravelli on your favorite social platform.
She dares you to make the first move.
Lena Monroe didn’t fall in love with Daniel Carter for the fantasy. She chose him knowing the cost: his past, his scars, his children, his ghosts. What she wants now isn’t perfection. It’s a life that feels real—mornings with coffee, teenagers slamming doors, pages to write, a man who doesn’t let her disappear.
On paper, she has it.
A home with Daniel.
Lucas, fifteen, testing every boundary he can find.
His eleven-year-old daughter who adores Lena and quietly tries to fix what the adults are too tired to say aloud.
And a first dark romance ready to be published, where she finally puts her own shadows on the page.
But Geneva doesn’t care about paper.
While Lena learns how to exist in a family that isn’t built on appearances, Daniel is pulled deeper into the world he thought he could keep separate: the off-grid lab, the Calix project, the line between saving lives and rewriting what life means.
The first time Dr. Daniel Carter touched me, I was bleeding. It wasn’t a fairy tale, not the start of some sanitized love story. It was shock, pain, the end of invisibility.
