❝vesper always knew she was going to make it.❞ there wasn't a shadow of doubt about it. after all, question marks only existed in fiction. the very moment vesper grasped the basics of human existence, she had inscribed her success into destiny as a plain fact. it was signed, sealed and delivered. it takes a sharp mind to take calculated risks with a ninety percent accuracy rate and an even sharper one to survive the remaining ten. everyone knows such precision isn't acquired through learning. it's innate. you've got it or you havent. the climb to the top feels effortless when unwavering faith sets the pace. plus, there's no space for loneliness when audacity is one's companion. alas, it's a bitter shame vesper underestimated one major part of the journey... just how much the altitude intended to teach her at the crowned summit. after all, being one step behind was never vesper's thing. especially, when the footprints belong to a man she utterly despises, with an uncanny gift of seeing right through her. •--- ❀ ❀ ❀ ---• vesper's audacity.

"Out of all my sins. You're my favourite." Cici never believed in fate - until it wore a tailored suit and looked at her like a decision already made. Nico is everything she should fear. A devil with blood on his hands and a kingdom built on violence. Loving him isn't reckless - it's a death sentence. But Cici isn't innocent. And she isn't unaware. When rival families close in and loyalty becomes currency, Cici must decide how much of herself she's willing to give to a man who doesn't love gently - and who would burn the world before ever letting her go. Even if it destroys them both.

❝ Fortune never favours the fools who win bronze. ❞ Though exceedingly ironic, titles and formalities never really mattered to Prince Al-Zahrani. This wasn't because he was some anti-capitalist, blessed with a celestial halo of bronze, who revelled in campaigning against societal inequality. Truth-be-told, it was more that he was blissfully unaware of the extent of sheer privilege he'd been subject to growing up. Heir to the family business and of course, an avid shirker of responsibility, taking some time out to think after graduating from university was his preferred path forward. Twenty-two and rather out of touch, Al-Zahrani soon finds himself transfixed by an ethereal midnight-haired intellect, who contrasts against every life experience he'd been subject to. Renowned for sharp logic and beguiling dark eyes, self-starter Zaara Jhatoliya is bound to shatter the rose-tinted glasses that the commitment-phobe adores. Sociologists say opposites attract but very often, synergy has its perks when it comes to the non-negotiable fundamentals. Common ground is destined to become a much-needed but extremely scarce resource. Especially when a woman, whose life story revolves around digging herself out of poverty with a rented shovel, piques the interest of a man fed with an ancestral silver spoon. •--- ♛ ♕ ♛ ---• The Bill of Bronze, Book Three of Fortune's Fool Trilogy, KiwiAndKoalas, All rights reserved ©

He's evolved; he's cruel and bloodthirsty. They call him the new God of the City. But gods are just monsters with a crown. And Vince has become someone he thought he buried long ago. The demons stalk him, cling to him, whisper in his ears. They're loud. Unrelenting. They consume everything. Except when he sees her. Azra Kian Sorrentino. A mind carved from stone. A heart lit from fire. She was raised the hard way - but instead of breaking her, it built her. She is all compassion in a world that rewards cruelty. She is sacred. Untouched. His peace. She's made for sin --made for him. And she hasn't noticed him watching. For months. She sets his soul ablaze. He tempts her like winter chill sliding up a summer spine. He's patient...but not patient enough. He wants her because she's the only one who makes the voices go quiet. She makes the blood he's spilled insignificant. She's made the chaos still. But behind Azra's fear... is a far more dangerous emotion. Temptation. ~ "𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐮𝐧.

She survives by keeping her past sealed tight- every bruise, every secret, every ugly truth locked behind elegance and restraint. Her life is a performance, and she never misses a step. Until she slips... ...and falls straight into the orbit of the man she was taught to despise most. One reckless act- done under the guise of a false persona- sets something irreversible in motion. A line is crossed. A fire is sparked. And the illusion of distance between them shatters. That night leaves her with a hangover, and a realization she can't escape. You don't have to die to go to hell. Some men bring it right to you. He is power without conscience. A presence felt more than seen. The devil everyone fears. She is a mess dressed in designer.

His body was just as stone-cold as his heart. By the dictionary, he was a sadist and by the lawyer's statements "the words 'clinically insane' don't do him justice". He makes the rules in this world. His word is Law. And it so happens to be his middle name. His one of many pet peeves: troublemakers... and that's exactly what she is. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭: Azia Kai Cobain. Miss Cobain was "clinically insane". Or at least that's what her attorney said in court. Azia was in and out of trouble her whole life. She has a criminal record and is on a first-name basis with all the cops in her city. She couldn't stand to be away from the thrill. Azia was born into a 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐭 family of the "clinically insane". A family of filthy rich criminals and dirty businessmen that always had a back-alley way of doing things. Like the rest of her family -she was a certified troublemaker. But after an especially insane endeavor, Azia has found herself in more trouble than she anticipated. And that kind of trouble came in the form of a man that was too tall and too tattooed. He's forced to work with her in an effort to fix a problem, but after only ten minutes alone with her, "Law's" plans are screwed. What was supposed to be a swift bullet to the head, turns out to be three months of going insane. Law needs her alive now and he regrets it more and more every time she talks. He's insane. She is too. His veins are filled with ice water. Hers are boiling. Insanity plus more insanity can only equal chaos. ~ -HEA -No OWD/Cheating -Strong FMC -Action/Adventure
