They say the sharpest knife is the one you don't see coming. For Athena it wasn't a weapon-it was a friend's smile and a boyfriend's whispered excuses. When she walked in on Samara and the man she loved, the blade of betrayal twisted in the dark, leaving her bleeding out emotionally on the street she thought was home. Athena thought that the worst day of her life was catching her boyfriend and her friend together. She was wrong. The worst day is when Samara re-emerged wanting the one thing Athena has left; Aarone-the person who taught her that some things are worth fighting for. She's not the girl crying on the bathroom floor anymore, she's now a woman rebuilt with steel and fire. A knife only works in the dark if the victim never sees it coming but Athena has learned to see in the dark and she's ready to catch the blade by the hilt this time.

They call me the nice one in my family. They see the tailored suits, the calm French accent, and the way I can bankrupt a man with a single phone call. They think I'm a success story. They are wrong. I am a predator. I don't just want money. I want to see people break. I like to find the little crack in their souls and stick my fingernail in until they shatter. I moved to this Greek island for a job, but I stayed for him. Alistair Cassian Helios. He is a billionaire with a heartbeat like a slow drum. He is quiet. He is wealthy. And he thinks he is the one watching me. He doesn't realize that I've already mapped out his house. I know which floorboards creak. I know which maid is lying to him. I know exactly how much blood is hidden under the beautiful marble floors of his villa. Everyone thinks Alistair is the dangerous one. They see the mystery in his dark eyes and the power in his hands. But he's just a puzzle I haven't solved yet. People on this island have started to die. Messy deaths. Ugly deaths. The police think it's a stranger. Alistair thinks it's me. I think it's Alistair. We sit across from each other at dinner, drinking expensive wine and trading lies like they are kisses. He manipulates the truth. I manipulate the air he breathes. I want to end him. But there is a problem. Last night, I found a camera hidden in my shower. Not his camera. Someone else's. And this morning, there was a gift on my pillow: the tongue of the man who tried to follow me home yesterday. I used to think I was the only one who liked to watch. I used to think I was the one standing in the shadows. But as I sit here, writing this, I can feel a pair of eyes on the back of my neck. I can hear the soft sound of breathing that isn't my own. Someone is in this room with me. Someone who knows what I did. I'm not the only psycho on this island. And for the first time in my life... I'm not sure if I'm the one holding the knife.

PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS "The softest place to fall" "Who did this to you?" The question hangs in the air between us. I can't look at him. I stare at my hands instead. "Ella." His voice breaks on my name. "Please. Talk to me." "I- " The word comes out as barely a whisper. "I can't." "You can. Whatever it is, you can tell me. I'm not going anywhere."

I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away. "You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly. "Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who lays his hand on you. On what's mine." I said and crashed my lips onto hers. I kissed her roughly and possessively, I made her know who she belonged to. And if anyone said otherwise, they'd have to deal with a bullet in their head. * * * Nicholas 'Ace' King - Don of the Italian Mafia and the most feared person around.

'You see this hair? You can't imagine how many times I've imagined it wrapped in my fists while I fuck your tight, sweet pussy,' he stated, his voice deep and inviting. And gosh, if words could fuck, I'd have an orgasm right now. My breath hitched, and I could feel my chest rising up and down. God, so he thinks of fucking me too? My cheeks reddened as I imagined him pounding into me. 'Do you want me to fuck you, hm?' he asked, his hands twirling my hair, then moving to the curve of my ass. ──── ୨୧ ──── He watches her like a sinner craving salvation- but there's nothing innocent about what he wants. Niccolò Romano isn't her brother. Not by blood. Not by law. But sharing a house with your childhood best friend turned cold, silent, six-foot-something heartthrob? That's dangerous. Lenora walks around in tiny shorts and soft tank tops, driving him crazy-and maybe she knows. Maybe she wants him to snap. And when he does, it's not sweet. It's intense. Possessive. Obsessive. He shows up in her room at midnight, voice low, jaw tight, telling her no one gets to touch her, look at her, or even think about her. Because she's his. And he doesn't care who finds out-parents, campus, or the entire world. Off-limits? Too late. Forbidden? Way past that. Once Niccolò lays his hands on her, there's no undoing it. No hiding it. No going back. She was never his to want- but now that he's had a taste, He'll ruin everything just to keep her. Living under the same roof, Lenora must decide if she can resist Niccolò's pull-or surrender to the past and passion that bind them.

"Tell me, Gianna," he says her name like a caress and a threat combined. "Were you disappointed?" He steps closer. Invasive. Possessive. "That I wasn't fighting? That you didn't get to see the Devil play?" His hand leaves her hair to trace her jawline-that same touch from before, the one that made her breath catch. "Because I don't fight for entertainment," he breathes, thumb brushing the corner of her mouth. "I fight when something is worth fighting for. When something is worth taking." His eyes burn into hers. "And I'm trying to decide, kotyonok..." The hand on her jaw tightens just slightly. "Are you worth the war I'd start to keep you?" They say the devil doesn't come with horns. He comes with power, legacy, and a smile that promises ruin. At Halgrave University, last names are weapons and secrets are currency. This is a world built for monsters-heirs raised on violence, dominance, and control. And at the center of it all stands Nikolai Vetrova-cold, untouchable, and feared even by those born into darkness. He was never meant to notice her. She was never meant to survive him. What begins as hostility turns into obsession. What feels like hate bleeds into desire. And the closer she gets, the more she realizes-loving him isn't dangerous. Surviving him is. Because some men don't fall in love. They claim. They ruin. And once the devil touches you, he never lets go. He is the Future Pakhan of the Bratva While she is the Cosa Nostra Princess.

Logan Romano didn't just enter the NHL. He tore through it. Dark. Brooding. Untouchable. With brutal talent and a reputation as cold as the New York winter, Logan dominates both the ice and every room he walks into. He doesn't lose. He doesn't bend. And he certainly doesn't fall in love. Not after the last time. Not until November Levine crashes into his life like a beam of sunlight he never asked for. She's warmth where he's storm clouds. She's soft where he's jagged edges. A walking contradiction to everything Logan swore he needed. When a deal forces the polar opposites under one roof, tensions ignite fast. Teasing turns to feuds. Feuds turn into something dangerously close to desire. And Logan is forced to confront the one promise he's never broken. Because once you step into the light- it's impossible to return. ✩ Grumpy x sunshine • forced proximity • slow burn Will the hockey captain cross that line? ✩ "Nova." I whisper, my voice low and hoarse against her neck. "Stop it." "Stop what." She whimpers back innocently as her thighs tighten around my hips. My teeth nip at the skin on her jaw in warning. "Either stop teasing, or put me out of my fucking misery." November pulls her head back from mine, resting it against the wall, and bats her lashes up at me. "Say please."
