In a world of cold power and sterile luxury, 𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚 𝙑𝙤𝙡𝙠𝙤𝙫 is the untouchable devil. A ruthless billionaire whose empire drips with blood and billions, he lives by one savage rule: 𝘕𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘮. Skin is poison. Contact is contamination. His body is a locked fortress-until the day his control begins to burn. 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘋𝘶𝘣𝘰𝘪𝘴. Calm. Graceful. Dangerously composed. The new maid moves through his marble halls like living temptation-soft curves wrapped in a crisp uniform, warm skin that carries the faint scent of lavender and sin. She doesn't cower. She doesn't break. And that quiet defiance sets Dante's blood on fire. His obsession ignites instantly. He isolates her. He watches her every breath through hidden cameras. He pulls her into his private sanctuary and makes her the center of his sterile, suffocating world. What begins as forbidden hunger quickly becomes feral need. The man who recoils from touch now aches to devour her-running starving hands over her bare skin, tasting her trembling lips, burying himself deep inside her slick heat while fighting the revulsion that once ruled him. Every hard thrust, every desperate moan, every filthy whisper of ownership chips away at his sanity. She consents. She surrenders. But she never truly escapes. In the heat of his madness, Dante's touch turns raw, possessive, and devastating. He claims her against cold marble, on silk sheets soaked with sweat, and in the darkness where pain and pleasure blur. He will shatter every rule, ruin his own mind, and lock her in his gilded cage just to feel her come undone around him again and again. She was supposed to be invisible. Instead, she became his addiction... and his only weakness. He will never let her go.

Zara Owens has spent her whole life being the smartest person in the room and the most dangerous one to underestimate. At 28, she's a Black sociologist who deconstructs power for a living, doesn't step inside churches, and has never once apologized for a silence she chose to break. Her tongue is a scalpel. Her walls are load-bearing. And she has exactly one soft spot: her younger sister, Amara. Which is why she's sitting in a pre-marital Bible study at Grace Covenant Church-six weeks out from Amara's wedding, surrounded by people who would call her cynicism a sin. Love, Zara is learning, is just humiliation with good intentions. The first problem is Marcus. Amara's fiancé. Golden-voiced, scripture-draped, and obsessed with Zara in a way she has documented, shut down, and lost sleep over. He sits four chairs away, smiling like he knows something. He doesn't. But Zara is carrying a secret about him that could burn her sister's entire future to the ground. The second problem is Adrien Mercer. Six-foot-five. Wire-rimmed glasses. The kind of quiet that makes loud people nervous. He watches Zara like he's reading a book he doesn't want to put down-and she hates how steady his gaze feels. Adrien has spent his whole life performing obedience: to the church, to his family, to the version of faith that demands you stop asking questions. But watching Zara refuse to shrink is making him wonder if he's been lying to himself for years. Over six weeks, the Bible study becomes a pressure cooker. Marcus inches closer. Amara plans her dress fittings, oblivious. And Adrien-the one man Zara never saw coming-starts seeing through every wall she's ever built. Eyes On Her is for every woman who has walked into a room and felt the weight of being watched, judged, and reduced-and who knows exactly what happens when she finally decides to look back. Some secrets destroy families. Some silences destroy you. And some men... see you so clearly, you forget to be afraid.

Everyone in the village fears the man who lives at the edge of the mountain. Tommaso arrived one year ago, bought the abandoned house in the woods, and never looked back. He never speaks. He never smiles. Half of his face is marked by fire, one grey eye watching the world as if it has already seen the worst of it. Lola, twenty-three, never planned to stay in that small Italian village. But life had other plans. Working between the local library and the school, she's convinced nothing exciting will ever happen there... Until she meets him. Some men are dangerous because they lie. Tommaso is dangerous because he tells the truth. "Don't mistake my silence for kindness." The village calls him a monster. Lola can't decide if she's afraid of him... ...or of the way she keeps looking for him. "You'll stop fearing my scars the moment you discover what I'm willing to do for you." 🚨🚨🚨🚨 Read before this red bow and cannele (you will understand better )

She was born to serve. He was born to rule. One glance was all it took to ruin them both. Maya has spent her entire life learning how to disappear. As a palace maid in the Emperor's obsidian halls, her survival depends on being invisible - silent, obedient, and utterly forgettable. She cleans the floors of the throne room, avoids the shadows of the guards, and never, ever , looks up at the man who sits on the burning throne. Until the night she does. Emperor Kaelen is young, merciless, and impossibly beautiful - a golden god carved from ice and fire. The empire whispers that he has no heart. That he collects obedience the way other men collect crowns. That no one has ever held his gaze and lived to tell of it. But when Maya's eyes meet his across the throne room, the world stops. He sees her. Really sees her. And a man who has spent his life owning everything suddenly discovers the one thing he cannot have - a palace maid with fire in her blood and defiance in her bones, who refuses to kneel for anyone. The Emperor does not ask. He commands. He claims. He consumes. But Maya is not a possession. And the throne room that once felt like a cage is about to become a battlefield - where obsession meets resistance, where power meets desire, and where one forbidden glance ignites an empire.

In the Realm of Divinia, there are two kingdoms- that of the faeries, the Sallow Kingdom, and that of the vampires- the Nightingale Dominion. Faeries and vampires have been at war since the beginning of time, and hostility continues to run rampant between the two nations. When Dorian Nightingale, the vampire crown prince, is accused of killing a member of the Sallow royal family, war is imminent. He's forced to accept the help of his mortal enemy, faerie heiress Ainsley Sallow, to prove his innocence and prevent the total damnation of both their worlds.

After the disturbing secret Ainsley discovers laying beneath Fae, she is forced to navigate a new political sphere that is unlike anything she was ever taught. On opposing ends of Divinia once more, Ainsley and Dorian must tackle the looming threats within their nations and the increasingly likely Faerie-Vampire war as they reunite. With the empress ill and the north growing cold, Ainsley sets out on yet another journey to prevent her empire from tearing itself from within as the feelings between her and her mortal enemy grow infinitely more confusing.

Imagine your father-a once honorable and loving man, now desperate and powerless-can no longer pay the unforgiving gambling debt he had stacked up for decades. And because he's unable to be that protective and respected father he once was, he sells his only daughter to a notorious Mexican gang leader as collateral just to save himself from death. As troubling as they may have been as a dream, that was the reality of 24-year-old Naomi Bennett. As soon as her birthday came around, she was bombarded with devastating news that she would no longer have control of her life. She was now owned by a random man due to an issue she had no association with, unable to escape or hide from his ruthlessness, conniving ways, and inhumane behavior. Since becoming the new leader of the Mexican gang, The Black Shadow, Santiago Alejandro de la Vega vowed to maintain that mysterious and demeaning atmosphere the organization has been carrying for years. He handled business as he saw fit: coldblooded, devious, haunting, and dirty. No one ever thought to play with him out of fear of what he could and would do if tried, except for one. A woman who was given to him as collateral, a hardheaded piece of property that angered every cell in his body and made his job more difficult than it had ever been. As badly as he wants to send her away to the mountains-avoid having to constantly deal with her attitudes and sass-Santiago finds her rebelliousness intriguing enough to keep her around. Emotions flare. Feelings emerge. Problems spark. The Devil holds rules and codes of conduct to keep himself and his team in line. Any rule broken is met with severe consequences. But he couldn't help but risk breaking one for her. Published: 07/3/25 Ended:

If there's one thing the universe loves, it's irony. And we get to see just how ironic it is when Kiara Washington so happens to transfer to the same college as her ex, Christiano Marks. It's a big campus though, so the chances of the two seeing each other are very slim... unless, of course, they become neighbors again. Obviously the tension immediately forms-- there was never a true conclusion to their chapter. However, with Chris already being romantically involved with another woman and Kiara working to get used to the transition from an HBCU to a PWI, the time to confront the past is not ideal... especially when lingering emotions are so apparent. But sometimes yielding to temptation can't be helped. They were so sure they'd let go. But if that kind of love is real, moving on is never truly an option. After all, is it really cheating if you were never happy to begin with? **SEQUEL TO WOKE**

If there's anything Kiara Washington wants nothing to do with, it's her white peers at Chancely High School. But being seen as the "problem student" puts her in a negative light, causing her to reluctantly agree to take on an assignment that'll keep her out of trouble. She will be in charge of overseeing and befriending Christiano Marks, a new student from Philadelphia who takes an immediate liking to his new pal. Despite her initial disdain towards the entire situation, Kiara feels drawn to Chris. His presence causes her to reflect on the past experiences that contribute to her present feelings. Eventually, the attraction becomes undeniable and must be explored. But just as she's truly beginning to let go, new problems arise. When her trauma begins to be used as a means for tokenism and experimentation, her relationship with Chris is put to the test. Will Kiara and Chris be able to overcome these obstacles, or are the outside forces trying to tear the two young lovers apart just too powerful?

"Deja, I see you!" Logan yelled, shutting me up. "I've always seen you. I don't give a shit about your past or your job. I never did! Could you stop making assumptions about me for one goddamn second and just see how in love with you I am? Fuck!" ********************** In which a young, college dancer with a traumatic past is so used to being judged, she becomes the accuser... but being on the defensive all the time may cause her to miss out on the one player who actually wants to understand her.
