And could a marriage really last, when her heart would forever beat for another? 🥀 Status: Ongoing Updates: Every Thursday and Saturday

! WARNING G!P ! Betrayed by her fiancé, framed by her family, and cast out with nothing but her fury, Nora Winters swears to destroy those who shattered her life-no matter the cost. Desperate and vengeful, she summons Azara Sinclair, a powerful devil cloaked in allure and danger, who offers her the means to rise from the ashes and claim her revenge. The price?

But revenge always comes at a cost, and deadly forces are closing in. To protect themselves, Nora and Azara are forced into a fake marriage, blurring the lines between pretense and desire. As passion and peril intertwine, they must confront the truth of their connection-or risk losing everything, including their souls. Will Nora reclaim the life she lost, or surrender her heart to the devil who's stealing it three kisses at a time?

A young girl in love finds herself in a horrific car accident, it's not until ten years after her accident that she learns what really happened that night. The consequences are heartbreaking, leaving her scared and confused about everything. *********** TEASER: She tried to shake her head in his grip. "No, it's fine. It's really not that big of a deal. The bet was stupid and Travis was stupid too." "So was I." He reminded her. She nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah. You were. But you've apologized so let's just move on please." "Okay, okay." He said pulling her in for a kiss. His lips were hungry on hers, needy. His tongue darted into her mouth quick without warning making her jump a bit at the intrusion. But still, the feeling of his tongue in her mouth dancing with hers made her feel dizzy. He still tasted sweet to her, it was delicious. Her hands snaked up the back of his neck, grabbing fistfuls of his hair as she pulled him closer; deepening the kiss. And then they were devouring each other, their lips growing hungrier. She felt herself begin to drip into her panties, oh my. She wanted this boy more than anything, she loved him more than anything. Jeremy broke away from the kiss, his lips moving across her right cheek and down her neck. He nibbled and sucked all the way down her neck, leaving goosebumps across her entire body. She felt herself growing wetter as he paused at her neck, he was biting her, and then kissing her; torturing her. She let out a soft moan, unable to hold it back any longer, and then another moan escaped her mouth. Her moans getting louder and louder as he continued his sweet torture on her neck. *********** TOP RANKS: #1: genreyoungadults #8: sexyandsteamy #14: swoon #32: readforread

TRIGGER WARNINGS: I focus on the plot but there will be some vivid blood/gore depictions and violence. There will also be some dark themes at play. The Fae have always loved their games... and we were nothing but their pawns. The Aedan Faeries had been gifted with the elemental magic of fire by the Elder Tree but when the last Aedan King died with no clear heir, their magic had started to die. By the wisdom of the Elder Tree, the one who endures its three trials will emerge the new Aedan King Ash hardly cared. Humans were just a blip of existence to the Fae's and it showed in the way that her kind was treated. Fearing for her life (and her mind) every day, privy to the horrors that they all endured, she just hoped that whenever the next Aedan King was coronated, it was long after she was dead... ... and not a moment too soon when she's picked by the Elder Tree to undergo its three trials, an unwelcome addition to the six who'd already been chosen to compete. Maybe this was better - at least her death will be swift, a victory in and of itself.
