I let out a sharp, ragged sound, my head falling back against his shoulder as the friction set fire to every nerve ending I had left. He didn't let up. He leaned into me, his chest pressing firm against my back, his other hand sliding up to grip my throat, not hard, just enough to let me feel the weight of him, to remind me who was in control of my breath. "That's it," he hissed against my skin, his pace quickening as he felt me start to unravel. "Say my name, Lani. Not for the block, not for the show. Just for me." Lelani, 20 never asked for chaos. She wanted a quiet life, a clean future, and a chance to finally breathe. Christian, 24 was the kind of man she promised herself she would never get close to dangerous, secretive, and tied to a world she has no business stepping into. But fate doesn't care about warnings. And he's not good at letting go. Something about her pulls him in. Something about him keeps her from walking away. All she knows is this: The boy she shouldn't want is the only one who touches her right.

"In his world, silence is law." Ari Walker built her career on justice. As a sharp, principled criminal defense lawyer, she's sworn to never let another killer walk free-not after the man who murdered her brother escaped without consequence. Ari doesn't bend the rules. She doesn't take shortcuts. And she definitely doesn't get involved with criminals. Until he walks into her life. They call him The Midnight. A ghost in the streets. A myth whispered in fear. Ruthless, calculating, and untouchable, Dave rules an empire hidden beneath the city's surface-one built on power, loyalty, and blood. No one sees him. No one speaks his name. And when he wants something, he gets it. And now, he wants Ari. Drawn into a world she's spent her life fighting against, Ari must decide where her loyalties lie-between the law she's sworn to uphold, and the man who makes her question everything she believes. But secrets have consequences, and the deeper she falls for Dave, the closer she gets to a truth that could destroy them both. Because in his world... There are no second chances. No forgiveness. And absolutely- No Witnesses.

A man learning how to be soft without losing his strength. As their worlds slowly intertwine, Amara must decide if she's brave enough to love a man with shadows in his past... and Zephir must choose between the crown he was given and the future he wants.

Stolen into darkness. Raised in hell. Elettra doesn't remember the empire that bled for her birth. She only knows pain-served daily in bruises and silence by the two addicts who claim to be her parents. Every morning starts with blood, every night ends with screams. School is no better. Mocked. Ignored. Invisible. But Elettra isn't weak. She's surviving. Counting down the days until she turns eighteen and escapes the nightmare. What she doesn't know is that eight wolves-eight ruthless, powerful brothers-are still searching for the sister they lost seventeen years ago. And her time in the shadows is running out. Because blood remembers. And when it calls... The underworld will burn to bring her home.

Aurelia and Elara - the youngest twins and the only daughters of the De Santis family - were once the heart of their household. Inseparable, gentle, adored. Where one went, the other followed. Their parents cherished them. Their brothers protected them. But everything shattered the night eight-year-old Elara was found bleeding on the floor... and Aurelia stood over her, a knife in her hand. Blamed for a crime she didn't commit, Aurelia was sent away to a strict boarding school for "troubled children." Her parents believed discipline would straighten her out. What they never imagined was the truth - the cruelty hidden behind the school's walls, the sadistic methods used to "teach," and the horrors Aurelia was forced to endure. Now sixteen, after a devastating incident inside that school, Aurelia is brought back to the De Santis mansion. But it's not a homecoming. It's an obligation. A reminder that she is unwanted, distrusted, and viewed as a threat by the very family she once loved. Follow Aurelia as she relearns how to exist in a home that no longer feels like hers. Uncover the truth of what happened that night, what really happened to her within the school, and whether the De Santis family will ever face the truth of what Aurelia had to endure and do to survive. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── "What should I ache for?

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.
