Selfish lies and dark desires rule the world of Arundel. The world that destroyed them both. Cora was innocently falling in love with Lukas, the boy who's family owned her high school, and it seemed like he was too. Until one day he disappeared without a trace. He left her sad and questioning whether he was even real or just a figment of her imagination. Years later he returns, but he isn't the same. He's turned into the worst version of himself, a pompous asshole who's remorseless for his new behaviour. But Cora, the girl that would have been the love of his life, manages to always make him feel guilty for his shameless actions. Lukas is determined to make her his, even if it means putting her danger.

Marrying her was supposed to be transactional, so why was he ready to risk the empire just to save her? Benji Won had faced consequences before, but never one like this. As acting CFO of his family's empire, every move he made had to be precise-especially under the watchful eye of a father who already thought his focus was slipping. All it took was one bad judgement call and his father had enough. It was either lose his chance of taking over the company he worked so hard to maintain... or marry her. Skai Monroe was everything Benji wasn't. She spent her life chasing freedom through music, through dreams too fragile for the ruthless world she was born into. She never wanted to belong to a dynasty, let alone to a man who looked at her like she was a responsibility he never asked for. But when her family's fortune begins to crumble, she's forced to say yes to a life she never wanted... and a husband she doesn't understand. It should've been simple-a contract, a set end date, two strangers playing their roles-but somewhere between lingering glances and heated moments, something shifted. The closer they got, the harder it became to pretend it was only an arrangement. And when the truth behind Skai's "falling empire" began to surface, everything started to fracture. Now Benji must choose: Hold on to the empire he had spent his life earning... or risk everything for the one person who's taught him how to feel. ~~~ An arranged marriage. A crumbling empire. One marriage. One secret. One lie that could ruin them both. Tell Me Lies is a slow-burn, tension-filled billionaire romance about duty, deception, and the quiet, dangerous way love begins to grow where it was never meant to. ~~~ Tell Me Lies is book two of the Written In Ink series and can be read as a standalone 🫶🏽 while there are no spoilers, I'd recommend reading book one so you get a full grasp on Benji and a brief tease about Skai ☺️ ~~~ ©️ Ashleigh Reeds 2026.

"Stop apologising." So I did. Then I apologised for stopping. I'm the girl who eats lunch alone and tells herself she chose it. A girl who's never been kissed, who hides behind books and oversized jumpers and a smile that says please don't look at me. Malakai Vashko looks at me anyway. Six foot seven, Russian, with knuckles that never heal and eyes the colour of something cold and far away. He fights men twice his size for money and walks out of rooms without explaining himself to anyone, and his enemies have learned not to come for him. They come for the people standing next to him instead. He told me he didn't need a friend, and to stop looking at him like he might be one. I should have listened. But I'd already caught him trying to buy flowers for someone who couldn't receive them anymore, and something in me understood him before my brain caught up. He hides with silence and fists. I hide with silence and books. I didn't fix him and he didn't save me, but the night I grabbed an underground boxer by the hoodie outside a corner shop and told him to stop, something started that neither of us knew how to end. "I don't do this," he told me. "I don't let people in." He still doesn't smile. But he stayed. ------------------ ⚠️ Mature themes: violence, dark content. No explicit sexual content.

BLACK WOMAN X WHITE MAN/ASIAN MAN "You want to play games? Fine. But we play them my way." Camila Quinn built her life on discipline. A pre-med student with a flawless GPA, meticulous routines, and a future mapped years in advance, she believes in control-in earning what she wants and keeping drama at arm's length. Even her relationship with Alex Walker, the star quarterback she's been with since high school, fits neatly into that plan. Until it doesn't. College changed him. The attention, the ego, the entitlement that comes with being untouchable. Slowly, the respect fades. The excuses stack up. The silences grow louder. And eventually, the truth becomes impossible to ignore. Alex was unfaithful. He never says it outright, but the disrespect is evident. Camila tries to let go. Tries to be the bigger person. But heartbreak curdles into something sharper when she realizes how little he seems to care. One disrespect for another. Anger takes root. And then there's Leo Brooks. Alex's former best friend. His unresolved rivalry. A transfer student with his own reputation, his own edge, and a very clear reason to hate Alex just as much as she does. Leo keeps appearing-everywhere. Unintentional of course, but; That's when the idea forms. What starts as strategy quickly turns dangerous. Because Leo isn't a pawn, and Camila isn't as unaffected as she pretends to be. The more they blur the lines between revenge and desire, the harder it becomes to tell what's real-and who's going to get hurt in the process.

"Some little bastard bats his lashes at you and suddenly you're ready to say yes?! In front of me? While I was watching?" She bites her lip, whimpering, moaning, that sound that always fucks with my head. My hands grips her thigh, spreading her wider, my pace unforgiving. Because she needs to fucking learn - no, she needs to know that how much I'm hers. And that she's mine. "Daddy's teaching you here something," I hissed against her ear, sweat dripping down my temple. "Every fucking time you even think about letting another guy get close like that, remember this - remember how it feels when I'm buried so deep inside you you can't fucking breathe." Her nails dig into my shoulders, her body arching, those tight, sweet little nipples brushing against my skin, begging for the attention her pussy is throbbing against. Her voice cracks out my name, and i grin, dark and mean. "Yeah, scream it. Let the whole fucking neighbourhood know who owns this sweet little cunt." I slam into her harder, gritting my teeth, my hand gripping her jaw to make her look at me through her dazed, teary eyes. "Keep looking at me when I'm ruining you, Miss Davis." She shivers at that, face turning redder. I say, voice low enough, "you're mine, Vi. My baby, my brat. And when I'm done with you tonight, you'll know exactly why." My pace turns brutal, merciless. Her moans turn into broken sounds, the bedframe creaking under us - • ⚠️ Content warning ⚠️ This story contains mature themes and explicit themes that may be sensitive to some readers.
