** @TheWattys 2025 Shortlister in Romance ** **A spicy enemies-to-lovers romance with a fake marriage contract trope.** To rescue her missing best friend, a lawyer must marry her arrogant boss, only to realize her entire life has been built on lies. Can be read as a Standalone. || Book 1 of Fatal Alliances Series ************ Sofia Reyes has fought her way to the top of New York's legal scene, hiding scars she can't fully remember. But just as she's about to claim the promotion for Junior Partner she's worked so hard for, her best friend, and her boss's fiancée, Kiara, disappears. This forces Sofia into a marriage she never asked for; an alliance bound by secrets, contracts, and survival. Xavier Kingston is everything she loathes: ruthless, cunning, and impossibly arrogant. Yet behind his cold, calculating exterior lies a hunger for something real, something neither of them dares to admit.

Their chemistry ignites, but the truths Sofia uncovers: about the law firm, Kiara's disappearance, and her own hidden past, threaten to destroy everything. In a world of billion-dollar deals, betrayals, and forbidden glances, love might just be the deadliest game of all. **Cover image by Freepik**

There was a rooftop. A page that went unread. A name she never said out loud again. Years passed. The silence stayed. One train. Two people. No second chance - only the memory of what almost was. Parallel Lines is a story you don't read. You remember it. For anyone who ever loved quietly. And never forgot. by lior_verin

𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑬𝒄𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒚 𝑯𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕. She was his temptation. Independent. A storm hidden beneath soft laughter and determined eyes. Everyone saw her as the strong one. The kind who fought for what was right, who believed in love. But she made one mistake. One night of reckless desire at her sister's bachelorette party- a kiss that turned into tangled sheets, stolen moans, and promises neither of them meant to keep. Vihaan Malhotra didn't believe in love. He believed in control. Power. Pleasure. The CFO of Malhotra Industries, second heir to the Malhotra Empire, was cold, ruthless, and unapologetically sinful in the way he claimed what he wanted. And that night, he wanted her. They were never meant to be more than that night. Until two lines on a stick changed everything. She didn't want to marry him. Not after the way he told her to "get rid of it" as if the pregnancy, and she, meant nothing. But when her parents gave her only two choices- abort the child and move on, or marry the man she never wanted to need- Aarohi chose herself. She chose her pregnancy. And she walked into that marriage with the hope. Vihaan didn't want marriage. He didn't want love. But when his mother threatened the empire he fought for, he put a ring on her finger and called it a necessity. Now she is Mrs. Aarohi Vihaan Malhotra. Living in his world, but refusing to be owned by it. Carrying his pieces, but refusing to let it define her. She is the storm he never saw coming. The woman who challenges him unintentionally with every breath. The only one who makes Vihaan's control slip, the only one he can't let go, no matter how much he tries to hate her. Because Sinful Ecstasy isn't about love. It's about obsession. About choices made in the dark. About a marriage that was never meant to happen, and the chaos it ignites. _____@

hey guysssssssss so i made these Awards because i wanted to experience what it felt like to Host one of these. there will be various categories, and as ill be the only judge, i ask you to be patient for the results :) Otherwise, have fun submitting and writing!

These are just small pieces of our days. Bus rides, cold mornings, the kind of talk that slips out without any plan behind it. Nothing big. Nothing that would matter to anyone else. Just the things we noticed before they faded. I wrote them down here because, well... if I didn't, they'd vanish quickly like a wave of the sea does. One moment they're right in front of you, and then they're gone, tucked somewhere in the past where you can't reach them anymore. Maybe putting them here doesn't save anything, not really. But it lets me look at them for a little longer. All I can do is catch them for a moment - the light, the voices, the way the city feels when it breathes - and leave them on these pages. These stories were ours. These quiet seconds, these almost-forgotten scenes. But, it doesn't matter because they belonged to us for a moment. And now, they belong to you for a moment too. PS: I'll release this on Royal Road! Stay tuned!
