Serenity Davidson has no time for strays. She's too busy running Greensboro's best soul food catering business and keeping her mama happy. But when they find a starving, half-dead man collapsed on their front porch, Serenity does what she does best: she feeds him. He says his name is Kevin. He says he's an unemployed factory worker with "bad asthma." He is lying. He is Lorenzo Moretti, the ruthless Don of the Sicilian Mafia, battered and hiding in plain sight. He intended to heal, exact his revenge, and disappear. But after weeks of Serenity's pot roast, her warm bed, and her bossy attitude, Lorenzo realizes he has a new addiction. He's not just going to take back his empire. He's taking the cook with him.

He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.

I wasn't chosen. I was noticed-like a flame notices a moth. Like a blade notices soft skin. Titania and Oberon saw me, and that was enough. She speaks like smoke in a cathedral. He watches like he's carving me open with his eyes. Together, they don't love. They consume. Worship. Possess. And I-I think I want to be ruined. Slowly. Beautifully. Completely. There's no safety in their world. Only hunger in silk. Only devotion written in bruises and blood. They call me their little song. A thing to play. A thing to break. But even soft songs can summon storms. A bisexual vampire fever dream. Dark romance, erotic horror, burlesque, obsession. She's the prey. They're the predators. And none of them want to stop.

Four brothers. One small town. And a past that just won't let her go. • • • Benny Lane didn't come to Cedar Creek to make friends. She came to disappear. After years trapped in the shadow of an abusive marriage, all she wants is quiet, safety, and a chance to remember who she is without someone telling her who to be. But small towns don't let strangers slip by unnoticed. Especially not when four protective brothers seem to be everywhere she turns. Beckett, with his quiet watchfulness. Sawyer and Dawson, with their easy banter that chips away at her walls. And Wells, the sheriff, whose steady stare makes her pulse race for all the wrong reasons. They see more than she wants them to. They see her fear. Her secrets. And maybe-just maybe-the woman she's fighting to be again. Benny came to Cedar Creek to hide. But what if she's found something worth healing for? ••• **completed** a small town slow burn why choose cowboy romance ••• #1 in #WhyChoose #2 in #smalltown #3 in #cowboy/s #3 in #reverseharem

She only meant to run. Run from the bruises, the lies, the life that was slowly swallowing her. At eighteen, with nothing but a torn backpack and a heartbeat full of fear, she crosses a dusty stretch of nowhere and stumbles onto a secluded ranch hidden deep in the rural wilds. And that's where she meets him. Cole Harlan. A man carved from silence and shadow - mid-thirties, broad-shouldered, sun-browned, and carrying the kind of past no one dares ask about. He lives alone, works alone, and prefers it that way... until the trembling girl on his porch forces something in him awake. Something protective. Something dangerous. He offers her shelter. But safety with Cole has a price. His rules are simple. His eyes see too much. And his presence... consumes her. As days blur into nights, the ranch becomes a world of its own - quiet mornings, shared glances, unspoken tension thick enough to touch. She learns his routines. He learns her secrets. And in the heat of the countryside, their connection turns from forbidden curiosity into something darker, deeper, and impossible to resist. But Cole isn't just a rugged stranger. He's a man with enemies. A man with blood on his hands and ghosts in his past. A man who will do anything - anything - to keep what he claims. And she may be the first thing he's ever wanted enough to break his own rules for. A haunting, sensual tale of danger, desire, and the kind of love that feels more like possession. Where safety is an illusion... and surrender may be her only way out.

But how does a man built on control survive the kind of girl who blooms in chaos? ------------------------------------------------------------------ ""Her tipsy boldness kicked in hard, and walked for the armrest near him-planning to sit there casually. But the world tilted, and instead of gracefully settling next to him, she ended up tumbling right onto his lap. His hand shot to her waist, steadying her with surprising gentleness. "Careful, princess." he said, his voice low and smooth, just enough to make her blush harder. "Oops," she giggled, cheeks flaming. "I cant believe it's you Mr. Serious." "Still drunk, I see." And with that, Aurora's mind took off in full chatter mode."" ------------------------------------------------------------------ #1 SWEET #1 GRUMPY #1 CUTE #1 FUNNY #1 GRUMPYXSUNSHINE #1 RICHGUY #5 CEO

A dark romance mobster love story 18+

Crestwood Academy: where legacies are born, secrets are currency, and scholarship girls like Luna Ferreira don't survive - they endure. Luna's only goal is to keep her head down, ace her classes, and prove she belongs at the elite academy where power drips from every marble pillar. But the moment she collides - literally - with Arien Andersen, everything changes. Arien is cold, untouchable, and ruthless. He rules Crestwood like a king in designer suits, with a last name that makes professors flinch and students obey. He also has a best friend - Luna's brother - which makes him strictly off-limits. Too bad no one told Arien that. She's fire. He's ice. And in a school where loyalty is bought and enemies wear diamonds, one thing is certain: If Luna wants to survive Crestwood... she'll have to stop running from the boy who watches her like a storm about to break. And if Arien wants to keep his throne? He'll have to stop wanting the girl who could burn it all down.
