Melody had no idea that life would continue to throw curveballs her way in the form of some friendly, neighborhood bikers.

I thought moving in with Murk, my uncle and a member of the Iron Devils MC, meant safety. A fresh start. A chance to breathe without looking over my shoulder. Then I met Riot. Dark-eyed, dangerous, and loyal in a way that scared me more than it should have. He didn't just promise to protect me-he swore it. "Anyone touches you, I'll go fucking nuclear." For a while, I let myself believe him. That I could have something steady, something safe. But trouble has never been far behind. And this time, it's not just looking for me-it's looking to destroy everything in its path. Including him.

McKenzie thought she could leave her past behind. Six years after fleeing her small town, she returns with two secrets-her five-year-old twins. But in a place where whispers travel faster than the wind, the truth was bound to surface. When the man she's loved since childhood discovers the undeniable connection between him and the twins, McKenzie's carefully built walls come crashing down. As old wounds reopen and hearts break again, McKenzie must face the ultimate question: can love survive the storm of betrayal, or will it drown in the raindrops of regret?

There are two kinds of scars on a man. The ones you can see, etched into skin by the Texas sun, and the ones you can't; the kind carved into a twelve-year-old boy watching his legacy get stolen at the barrel of a smile. For AZAD MARTINEZ, the memory is a film reel that never stops playing. The day his father was laid in the ground, his uncle, MALIK MARTINEZ, arrived to deliver his first lesson in family: it's a weakness. He threw Azad and his grieving mother out of their own home, the only home they'd ever known, the very dirt his father had sworn was a sacred trust. But Malik didn't just take the land. As a final, calculated act of cruelty, he took Azad's older brother, ZAYAN, dragging him away to be remade in his own corrupted image. Now, years later, the echoes of that day have become a relentless soundtrack. Azad has built a new empire from nothing, a legitimate agricultural powerhouse, but every success is shadowed by the ghost of what was stolen and the sound of his mother crying in the next room, her tears a silent prayer for the son she couldn't protect, begging for a forgiveness only God and his return can grant. But Malik isn't finished teaching lessons. He's back with a contract, wielding a forgotten debt from Azad's father like a holy writ. He offers a choice that is no choice at all, a move designed to break Azad's spirit completely and claim his hard-won empire. This is where the real war begins. This is a halal romance, a journey deep into the heart of what it means to love under the weight of duty, to seek revenge without losing your soul, and to find the impossible path to forgiveness when the wound is the only thing that reminds you you're still alive. This is a story of one man standing on the land he built, forced to choose between the vengeance that fuels him and the faith that could save him, all while the ghost of his brother and the cries of his mother threaten to pull his world apart at the seams.

A Name in the Dark Some names are erased. Others are forged in silence. After six generations of sons, twin daughters were born to Italy's most feared mafia family. But their legacy was stolen. At just five years old, Lavinia and Flavia vanished-kidnapped by their family's enemies and torn apart forever. The younger twin, Lavinia, was hidden in a dungeon, stripped of her name, and forged into a weapon. Years later, she breaks free-no longer a child, but a storm cloaked in shadows. Now a feared assassin, underground racer, and rising mafia donna in France, she runs an empire of weapons and fashion under the name Lavinia Noiret. Her past is a locked vault-until it isn't. The elder sister, Flavia, was left behind. Raised by cruel step-parents who hid the truth, her life was marked by bruises and silence. When they died, she returned to the orphanage, her memories a blur, her soul stitched together with grace and quiet resilience. She becomes a gifted designer and launches a jewelry brand that whispers the elegance she never had. But when Lavinia breaks out of the darkness with two dangerous allies, she goes searching for the sister she lost. What she finds is not a victim-but a survivor. Now reunited, the twins must unravel the secrets of their past, reclaim their stolen bloodline, and choose whether to rule the empire that once betrayed them-or burn it to the ground. Because some names don't disappear. They wait in the dark-ready to strike.

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.

"But the only thing you need to remember is that this beautiful woman," his hand rested possessively on my shoulder, "is Eleanor Morozov." His eyes swept over the room, challenging anyone to dispute his claim. "But most importantly, she is mine." "Every word that comes out of her mouth," he says, his voice echoing through the cavernous room, "will hold as much power and meaning as my own. You disrespect her," he pauses, his gaze sweeping over each man, "you die. You look down at her, you die. You think of her in any way but as my equal, you die, and the process will be... unpleasant." Vlad takes his seat beside me, his hand resting casually on the arm of the chair. "Now that we have that cleared up, let's continue what we're here for."

My other hand gripped her breast firmly but hard enough to send her throbbing. "I'm going to destroy every part of you tonight, I will leave scars that I can only hope your new fiancé can find, I'm going to mark you with my name so he knows exactly who he's fucking with."
