Camelia I was stolen. I was ripped away from the life I knew and my mother and dragged to a world I never asked for-a world of traditions and steel, blood, and betrayal. My father, a Yakuza king, demands my obedience. My fate? A marriage to a cruel stranger. But my gaze keeps finding him. Shion Harukawa. My shadow. My jailer. My father's perfect enforcer. He watches me like I'm a problem he needs to solve-cold, disciplined, untouchable. But I see the way his jaw tightens when I push him. The flicker of something dangerous in his eyes when I get too close. He is my captor. And if I have to burn this world down to be free, I'll make him my first sin. --- Shion She was never meant to be mine. I was ordered to protect Camelia Arisaka, I was her bodyguard, and she is my duty, nothing more. But from the moment she looked at me with defiance instead of fear, I knew she would ruin me. She is a reckless, untamed fire wrapped in silk. A problem I should break before she burns us all. But I don't. I watch her. Protect her. Want her. And when she tempts me to cross the line, I know one truth-I was never her jailer. She was always my undoing. ⚠️ Trigger Warnings ⚠ Kidnapping & Forced Relocation ⚠ Manipulation ⚠ Violence & Torture ⚠ Murder & Bloodshed ⚠ Suicide (Mentioned and Impactful to Plot) ⚠ Sexual Tension & Explicit Content

"Shinjuku had nothing on me. Kabukicho - even less. If there were monsters roaming in the night, I hunted them. If Godzilla's footstep could level a city, mine could level a country." The Yakuza Tokyo-wide is trying to clean up the red-light districts and change the connotation of Yakuza from unnecessary evil to peacekeeping managers. At least, some of them want it that way. Owning most of the businesses that provide illicit services, the Oda-kai syndicate is trying to take back Kabukicho in Shinjuku and eliminate shady behaviour in the industry on their territory. One of the hostess club chains, Club Diamond, is refusing to give up independent ownership to the Yakuza, causing Oda-kai members to continue using old methods of persuasion: violence, threats, and raids, tainting their reputation even further. Kazuhide 'The Phoenix' Obata is a member of the Oda-kai. The second in command. Yakuza life is all he knows. His family and the Oda family have been intertwined since the formation of the clan by deep trust and friendship through the generations. But intertwined family isn't even the half of it. Corruption, deadly secrets, and enemy infiltration are in the recipe for 'just another day' in the Yakuza. Club Diamond holds the key to change. And holds onto it very tightly.

A raw, trauma-forward story of survival, found family, and the fire that comes after the fall. Remi Carter never meant to fall for a biker. She didn't plan to walk into a club war. She didn't expect to be hunted, silenced, or broken. But when the life she's built is torn apart, when violence leaves scars deeper than skin, Remi is left with nothing but rage, memory, and a will to survive. Set against the backdrop of a fractured motorcycle club, a tight-knit trauma clinic, and a ranch that offers refuge to the women the world forgot, No Redemption Road is not about being saved. It's about what comes after. After betrayal. After assault. After losing the life you thought was yours. This is a story of women who fight. Of found family. Of love that doesn't fix you, but chooses to stay when you're at your worst. It's the slow burn of healing. Of facing the monsters who stole everything. Of burning it all down, and still choosing to live. This is not a romance with a tragic twist. It's a trauma story with no promises. But at the end of the road... maybe there's still a way home. This is book one in the Redemption Road Series of interconnected stories following different characters surrounding NRR. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story includes themes of trauma, sexual violence, emotional abuse, and psychological manipulation. Remi's journey includes scenes of assault and survival. These events are portrayed with care, never glorified, and written to reflect the raw truth of what she endures.

She was as gentle as the rain that fell on the bamboo leaves. Innocent as the summer scent that brushed against the ripening wheat. A princess in ancient china, she would follow myths and legends until she became one herself. She was a rose who would become the gilded fire lily, the symbol of war and revenge. All of creation would know her name as she takes her ranks among the gods. Her hands would signal the rise and fall of nations and the fate of the gods themselves. From chess piece to grand master, Yu Zhu's journey will take her far and across all the realms until she claims her destiny.

A 21st century covert ops agent, Cybelline found herself transported to a medieval world of magic and war without a clue of how she got there. Fine, she'll consider this as early, early retirement and try to have a quiet, peaceful life. Maybe she would buy a farm and raise some ducks. She didn't plan to have royalty fall over her doorstep and demand marriage for "taking his innocence". Granted, she tripped him first, but he deserved it. If her idyllic life had been undisturbed, she could even ignore the war between humans, the Fae, and the Folk. If they had left her alone, perhaps she would have never discovered power so potent that it could destroy the world. Perhaps she would have never become the most feared person in the realm.

One day all of this gets too much for her, is it time to follow in her dad's footsteps?

The Quiet Struggle follows the poignant and emotional journey of Katherine "Kat" Greene, a once-vibrant teenage girl whose life is forever altered after a devastating car accident. Left with severe brain damage, Kat wakes up in the hospital with little memory of her past and a future she cannot comprehend. Struggling to piece together the fragments of who she once was, she faces a world where even the simplest tasks are now overwhelming challenges. Unable to control her body, Kat is forced to rely on others for care. She wears diapers and needs assistance with basic tasks-her body and mind no longer in sync. Her speech is fragmented, her thoughts a jumble of confusion and frustration. Once independent, Kat is now like a child in an adult's body, seeking answers to questions she can't even fully express. As she navigates this new reality, Kat's emotional journey becomes one of quiet resilience. Through the compassion of her devoted mother, who remains by her side, and the support of her caregivers, Kat begins to find small moments of hope, discovering that despite her challenges, there is still a spark within her-a will to connect, to heal, and to reclaim a sense of herself. In this intimate and heart-wrenching exploration of identity, memory, and the power of human connection, The Quiet Struggle invites readers into the mind of a girl fighting to find her place in a world that feels both familiar and foreign. Through Kat's eyes, we learn that strength doesn't always come in loud victories, but in the quiet determination to keep going, one small step at a time.
