Elara Jones finds solace in silence and sugar. A shy, curvy baker with a softly spoken heart, her world is small and predictable: a quiet office job and a fledgling home bakery where she pours her soul into every treat. She is innocence embodied, and she's content with her simple, invisible life. Kaelan Vance is a king in a world of shadows. A mafia tycoon with a empire of legitimate companies and illegitimate dealings, he commands with a look and takes what he wants. He is a man forged in ruthlessness, his heart untouched... until a glimpse of Elara shatters his control. He isn't just drawn to her beauty; he's captivated by her quiet strength, the peace she radiates, the innocence that stands in stark contrast to his own stained soul. What begins as a fascination quickly spirals into a dark, all-consuming obsession. He must possess her, not just her body, but her heart, her smiles, her very soul. For Elara, Kaelan is a storm she never saw coming. His attention is terrifying yet intoxicating, a whirlwind of danger and desire. He showers her with a devotion that feels like love but looks like madness. He will burn the world to keep her safe and break anyone who dares to look her way. This is a story of two hearts colliding: one learning to love, the other learning to let go. One is a quiet melody, the other a destructive symphony. Can a love built on obsession ever become a sanctuary, or is it just the most beautiful prison of all?

Angel never expected the boy who kissed her at a church picnic to become the one who'd break her. Years later, they're no longer kids playing in the dirt-they're teens carrying silence, secrets, and everything they were never taught to say. Angel just wants peace. Malik wants redemption. But love? That's the part neither of them knows how to hold without hurting. Baptized in Fear is a Southern slow-burn filled with tension, vulnerability, and the kind of love that asks: what if they stay this time?

Jeremiah Smith fan fiction

Many people think I'm dumb, scary, or grimy. But I don't care what yall think. Yall witnessed what I went through with my babydaddy, Massiah, as a single mom only trying to keep my daughter out of danger. Yall saw how he somewhat tried to control my life. Same as he always came for me when I needed saving, even if I hated depending on him to save me. It was hard for me, but eventually he gave me no choice but to be okay with that and to be able to stand on my own two feet without needing someone to save me all the time. Not only that, but he soon managed to get me tied into his game. Everything you're about to witness is what happened two years after I gave birth to Ermes.

When a self-made beauty boss tries to leave her toxic past behind, she crosses paths with New York's most feared kingpin who's already decided she'll be his, whether she's ready or not.
