A book consisting of four love stories. .. They weren't meant to fall in love. But fate-and obsession-had other plans. In a world ruled by power, bloodlines, and ruthless bargains, love is a dangerous luxury. A cold-hearted heir is forced into marriage with the fiery girl who wants nothing but to escape him. A forbidden arrangement binds a vengeful enemy to the woman he once vowed to destroy. And in the shadows, an obsessive protector watches his childhood crush, willing to burn the world to keep her his. Each couple is tangled in secrets, lies, and a darkness that promises either salvation-or complete ruin. Betrayal tastes like desire. Love feels like war. And no one gets out unscathed. Welcome to a story where enemies kiss like sinners, and possessive hearts never let go.

This version has some changes in characterisation. Brahms is a little more human, and less psychotic, and Greta is now Laurie (due to copyright minimisation) is a little more vulnerable. The story begins 2 weeks into Laurie's employment, one day before the Heelshire's commit suicide, five days before her life is changed irrevocably. This story line explores how things might have been had Laurie and Brahms had time to get to know each other, and how Brahms reacts and responds to Laurie's more understanding approach to his situation. Brahms's monster is made .... can it be unmade? Contains sex and swearing. I have changed Cole to Joel, and Sandy to Amanda.

Brahms is strong, dangerous, unpredictable, and he's coming for you. It's time to use your wits, gather all your strength to survive his onslaught, because he's killed, hasn't he? This takes up where Cole/Joel is killed. You take the place of Greta. I've changed names for a couple of the main characters here to minimise copyright issues. There's no Malcolm so now it's just you and Brahms. Will you tame him? Will he allow that? Currently ongoing chapters where we finally get to see the full potential of Brahms, his backstory, his thoughts, fears and desires. What makes him tick, who he really is. What goes on inside his head. Beautiful, vicious, vulnerable, terrifying Brahms. Enjoy the ride! This work is inspired by The Boy movie directed by William Trent Bell and written by Stacey Menear.

𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄 𝐓𝐀𝐘𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐒 Haverhill was meant to be a fresh start for me. What I didn't anticipate was attracting the attention of Carter Knight and his friends, the wealthy, enigmatic boys who seem to own the entire town. After my parents' death, I thought things couldn't get worse, but then I started receiving strange texts and unexpected visits from a masked man. 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙄 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩?
