Iris Mercer was never meant to be loved. Not in that marriage. Not by a man like Elliot Graves. It was supposed to be an arrangement. It became a year of shared silence that was never empty, of touches that were careful not to want too much, and a love that grew anyway, stubborn and deep. Then Elliot forgot her. The accident took the year that belonged to her. It left Elliot with memories of another woman, a different love, a life before Iris. He remembers nothing of the marriage that changed him. Iris remembers it all. She watches her husband move through their home in a body that knows her but a mind that does not. She hears Elliot's voice form another man's words. She grieves for a love that existed only in a single, stolen year, because some kinds of love are not repeated. They are built once, and lost forever. This story contains dark themes, emotional trauma, and explicit intimacy. Intended for mature readers.

He lives by rules. She breaks them just by existing. Atlas "Priest" Adams is the president of the Saints of Retribution MC-a brotherhood of former soldiers who hunt the worst monsters hiding in plain sight. He believes in control, silence, and distance. No titles. No promises. No babies. Attachments get people killed. Dr. Indigo "Blue" Thorne isn't looking for danger. After a brutal night in the ER, she finds solace in a bar-and in a man who promises nothing beyond one night. She agrees to his rules because she doesn't want forever. Neither of them is telling the truth. What starts as a no-strings arrangement turns into something deeper, even as Priest insists Blue is temporary. Then the past comes roaring back. When his brother's widow arrives at the clubhouse pregnant and desperate, Priest's silence and half-truths destroy everything Blue thought she understood. So she disappears. Months later, fate drags them back together in an ER bay-where Priest sees the woman he lost... and the child she's carrying. Now Priest must face the consequences of the rules he hid behind, the words he never said, and the woman he never claimed. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, he'll have to decide whether love is a weakness- -or the one thing worth bleeding for. PRIEST is a dark, emotional MC romance about control, miscommunication, and the cost of loving halfway-featuring a hardened hero, a strong heroine, betrayal, redemption, and a hard-won happily ever after.

This contains only the first four chapters. The book will be published in January on Amazon after edits. A dark, haunting romance of control, obsession, and the woman who dared to walk away. Rune knew exactly what she was doing when she entered Dorian Black's world. He was cold, brilliant, and untouchable-a man who didn't believe in love, only contracts. She accepted the role he offered: loyal secretary, occasional lover, silent shadow. Bound by rules. Defined by limits. But when her usefulness runs out, Dorian discards her like all the others. Only this time, Rune walks away carrying something he never planned for .And a truth she's kept hidden for years. Now, as she prepares to rebuild the life she left behind, Dorian is forced to confront what he thought he controlled. Because Rune was never meant to matter. She was supposed to leave his life untouched. But some bonds go deeper than desire. And some memories don't stay down. A slow-burn tale of longing, betrayal, and the quiet strength it takes to choose yourself.

❌ Blurb coming soon ❌ This story has been living rent-free in my mind for weeks - until I finally had to stop fighting it and just listen. It wasn't even supposed to be next. It quietly shoved its way ahead of two other projects I planned to post first. That said, there won't be a set posting schedule, and there may be weeks without updates at all. My other WIPs are still my priority, and between writing, work, and life, it's tough to keep a steady pace across multiple projects. I hope you understand - and only start this one if you genuinely feel like it, knowing it will take its time. ⚠️Content Note This is a cheating romance - there are explicit infidelity scenes on page. The main couple will find their way back to each other, and the story ends in an HEA. If this theme or ending isn't for you, please feel free to skip this one. I have other stories on my profile with different tones, tropes, and outcomes that might better suit what you're looking for. 💫 About the Story Lines of Lust & Betrayal is a standalone told in two parts: Part I - betrayal: messy and painful. Part II - the journey back: redemption, forgiveness, and rebuilding something worth keeping - deeply human.

Dane always said love was like a puzzle: you start with the edges, build a frame, and trust the rest will fall into place. For years, he and Callidora fit perfectly, until his loyalty to his late friend's little sister became the missing piece that didn't belong. What began as compassion twisted into late-night calls, quiet rescues, and promises he had no right to make. When Calli reaches her limits, his apologies are desperate, his love real, but the picture they'd built together had already been pulled apart. Can Dane convince Calli that the picture they once started is still worth finishing, or has their puzzle already fallen apart for good?
