'ISHQ never enters quietly, it brings its own kind of RUINATION." __________________________ A top-tier university. Dripping with secrets. Two political rivalries held together by a settlement that feels more like control than peace. A third force watches from above → silent, dangerous, untouchable. Two murders. A revenge left unfinished. A vow to destroy everything. A silent soul enters next → too pure to understand the devastation, too trapped to walk away from it. And somewhere else, a hatred preserved for years waits behind restraint, held only by morals that are beginning to fail. Three stories breathing under one roof. Three ruins moving toward each other. And in between them → ishq, arriving exactly the way it always does: with ruin already promised. ______________________________ "I realised my love the moment I lost him."

At twenty-one, Silas Blackwood has everything going for him. A rising name, a tattoo studio in Las Vegas, a face people don't forget, and enough ego to carry all of it just fine. Then Victor Acosta arrives and ruins his pride, and eventually, his whole mental stability. Victor is the artist from Spain who walks into the biggest tattoo competition of the year, steals first place, and somehow ends up working in Silas's studio right after. He is quiet, rude, terrifyingly talented, and weirdly impossible to ignore. Which would already be bad enough. But Silas has bigger problems. For three years, he's been talking to a stranger online. Trusting him with things he's never said out loud, and missing him when he disappears. That stranger was Victor. Silas doesn't know that yet. And before he can even process the rivalry, the obsession, or why Victor feels so familiar, he finds out there are two Acosta brothers in Vegas. Twins. And he's already dating one of them. 🥇#1 - slowburn

Two families. One war. A love neither of them saw coming. Luca Valenti is the middle son of a powerful mafia dynasty - reckless, wild, and destined to ruin everything he touches. Matteo Rossi is his opposite in every way - disciplined, controlled, and heir to the Valenti family's greatest enemy. They should hate each other. They do - until the night a street race, a gunfight, and a single act of defiance force them together. As their worlds collide, Luca and Matteo are pulled into a whirlwind of forbidden attraction, dangerous secrets, and a rivalry written in blood. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to deny the truth: Sometimes the person you were raised to destroy is the one you were meant to love. Now they must outrun their families, the mafia war igniting around them, and their own self‑destructive instincts - all while trying to protect a fragile love that could get them both killed. In a world of loyalty and lies, they will have to choose: Family or freedom. Duty or destiny. Hate... or the fire that binds them. The Flame We Ride is an explosive enemies‑to‑lovers mafia romance filled with high‑stakes emotion, motorcycles, betrayal, slow‑burn longing, and a love that refuses to die.

"Your name is Kenneth Kentucky and you work at McDonalds?" I glared at him, "Would you like Fries with that?" He began laughing hysterically and I sighed impatiently, waiting for him to stop.
