Hi darling, Can you believe it’s already October? My birthday month. Halloween in the air. And yes, I’ve basically been chained in my writing cave with wine, candles, and a playlist full of trouble. But it’s worth it. Because this month, I’m dropping three new obsessions. And just to make things hotter, I rewrote the ending of Hostile Takeover. Take Me Higher – October 17 Forbidden. Addictive. You’ll never see the twist coming. She Was My Darkness – October 24 A cursed poet. A haunted villa. A Halloween masquerade where love is the deadliest curse of all. Haunted by the King – October 31 Versailles after midnight. A royal ghost. And a love story born from sin and silk. Three books. Three nights. Three dangerous men you’ll never forget. I’ll be honest, October isn’t about happy endings. It’s about obsession. About the kind of love that ruins you. And I can’t wait for you to feel every page. Stay dark, stay obsessed, Cara ❤️ PS: Tell me… which one are you reading first?
You know that thing you do when you wake up, swipe your phone, and check if the world’s finally noticed your book? Yeah. That was me this morning, staring at my own book—Forbidden Passion—sitting pretty at #25 in Love Triangle Romance, #134 in Enemies to Lovers, and #410 in Contemporary Romance. I’m not saying I screamed, but my neighbors probably think I won the lottery or started a cult. Or both. 260 pages of drama, chaos, and pure heat, and guess what? It’s just Book 1. That’s right. You haven’t even seen me at my wildest yet. I wrote this book for anyone who likes their romance raw, their banter filthy, and their plot twists nastier than their ex’s secrets. If you want something dark, twisted, and addictive. Huge shoutout to all my readers… old flames, new obsessions, and everyone secretly reading this at work. You’re the reason I do what I do. So, what’s next? More late-night writing sprints. More jaw-dropping scenes that’ll make you blush, gasp, and maybe throw your Kindle across the room.And yes… a LOT more champagne. US readers, I see you, I love you, and I promise… things are about to get even wilder.Ready for the next chapter? Because I am. Now somebody pour me another glass. I earned this glass. XO,Cara Ravelli
Are You Mark or Daniel? Let’s get real. Are you the smooth-talking, suit-wearing control freak… or the dark, brooding mastermind with a taste for chaos? Answer these and find out which side of the twisted triangle you’re really on: 1. Your ex walks into the room at a party. You… A) Flash your best smile, charm the crowd, and make sure everyone knows you’re winning at life. B) Watch from the shadows, plotting exactly how you’ll make them regret ever leaving. 2. When it comes to secrets, you… A) Keep them locked up tight—information is power, darling. B) Use them as leverage. Nothing says “I love you” like a well-timed truth bomb. 3. Your idea of romance is… A) Expensive dinners, Instagram-perfect vacations, and being the power couple everyone envies. B) Long, intense conversations, stolen glances, and a connection so electric it could burn down your life. 4. Someone betrays you. You… A) Play it cool, but make sure they never get close enough to do it again. B) Revenge. Always. Preferably with a little psychological warfare. 5. Your guilty pleasure? A) Winning. At everything. B) Breaking the rules (and maybe a few hearts). Mostly A’s: Congrats, you’re a MARK! You love control, you live for the spotlight, and you always keep your enemies (and lovers) close. Just don’t get too comfortable—someone’s always plotting behind your back. Mostly B’s: Hello, DANIEL. You’re all about the slow burn, the long game, and making sure nobody ever forgets you. You might be a little dangerous, but damn, you’re unforgettable. Tag your result and share it! #TeamMark or #TeamDaniel—let the games begin.
Are You Vanessa or Lena? Are you the untouchable, career-obsessed ex who always lands on her feet, or the secretly fierce author hiding a storm behind her silence? Answer these and spill your truth: 1. Friday night plans? A) Champagne with the CEO crowd, networking in killer heels. B) Cozy at home, laptop open, writing scenes that would make your mother faint. 2. When your ex texts you at 2am, you… A) Roll your eyes and mute him. You’ve got bigger fish to fry. B) Stare at the screen, overthink, and maybe write a spicy chapter about revenge. 3. Your idea of self-care? A) A luxury facial, a power Pilates class, and a new designer bag. B) A hot bath, a forbidden book, and a playlist that makes you feel everything. 4. Someone tries to gaslight you. You… A) Laugh in their face and send them packing. B) Doubt yourself for a second—then start digging for the truth like a woman possessed. 5. Your guilty pleasure? A) Secretly checking your ex’s socials (just to confirm you’re still hotter). B) Writing scenes so filthy you have to lock your laptop. Mostly A’s: Congrats, you’re a VANESSA! You’re sharp, ambitious, and nobody’s second choice. You don’t have time for drama—unless you’re running the show. Ice in your veins, but damn, you look good doing it. Mostly B’s: Hello, LENA. You’re a quiet storm—soft on the outside, but with a fire that could burn the whole house down. You might feel invisible sometimes, but when you decide to step into the light? Watch out, world. Tag your result and let us know—are you #TeamVanessa or #TeamLena? (And if you’re both… well, you’re probably writing this book with us. )
