Anxious overachiever, Sophia Calloway, has a plan; graduate top of her class, get into a top 3 law school, keep her head down and emotions quieter. So when the University of Michigan's ice hockey team targets her in a prank gone wrong? She's ready to call campus security, drop-kick the nearest jock and move on with her structured little life. Instead, she gets Holden Zhao. Captain of the hockey team- too charming for his own good, worryingly reckless and absolutely allergic to authority. And now- assigned to her beloved library shift as punishment. Holden has never met a girl who doesn't fall at his feet. Sophia has never met a boy who makes her want to scream... and maybe kiss, all in the same breath. He calls her uptight. She calls him a menace. But the longer they're stuck together, the harder it is to pretend it's just a punishment. The less it feels like one, too. ➳♡➳ "I'm not going to kiss you, Soph." She crosses her arms defensively. "And why the hell not?" "I'm not going to kiss you," My lips graze the shell of her ear. "Until you beg me to." ➳♡➳ Slow burn. Enemies to friends to lovers. Banter like a whiplash. One anxious overachiever. One chaotic hockey captain. This was never part of the plan.

[ 𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐃𝐔𝐄𝐓 #𝟏 ] (SPINOFF VERSION PUBLISHED) _ In which four guys with a dangerous reputation happening to find interest in innocent girls. Four dangerous young men. Four innocent girls. Damon Lars, my brother's best friend, has always been a shadow lurking in the background, his dark reputation a whispered threat. I was the good girl, safe in my world of books and silence, until his eyes found me, pulling me into a world of darkness I never saw coming. Jaxon, Marci's twin, has always burned with a violent hunger in his gaze. He's danger in its purest form, and I can feel it every time he looks at me. But what happens when the good girl is drawn to the fire that will consume her? Grayson Meadows has always hated me, his cruel jabs masking something deeper. His father and mine are business partners, and yet when it's just us, he becomes my protector. I should hate him too, but the way he makes my pulse race tells me something else. Alessio calls me a little devil, pretending to despise me, but I know the truth. Every year, at midnight, he calls me, his voice a dark secret. He's my sister's boyfriend, but it's me he can't escape. In a world where innocence and danger collide, these men will make us question who we really are-and what we're willing to become. This is a dark romance. _ © Eroticsaint

Stood on the cliffside Screaming, "Give me a reason". Regulus Arcturus Black and Desdemona Lethia Lestrange were born beneath the same dark star, bound by blood, duty, and a faith that felt like drowning. They were raised to obey, to never question, to believe that love was a weakness and loyalty a chain. But they questioned. They loved. And in the end, they betrayed. "But what you did was just as dark, darling, this was just as hard." This is not a love story-it is a tragedy, written in the quiet of forbidden dreams and the screams of the unforgiven.
