Dr. Eve Callahan knows how to unravel a story-especially the ones people bury. As a forensic psychologist specializing in the unspeakable, she's trained to map the minds of killers without ever losing herself in the dark. But nothing prepares her for Baltimore. For Will Graham. For Hannibal Lecter. Will is all edges and empathy, a man who feels too much and says too little. Hannibal is elegance and control, a scholar of appetites-most of all, his own. They see Eve clearly. And between them, she begins to come undone. As the lines between desire and danger blur, Eve finds herself caught in a spiral of intimacy, violence, and manipulation. The deeper she digs, the more seductive the abyss becomes. And in the quietest corners of her mind, she begins to ask the question that haunts them all: If someone sees your soul and does not look away... do you still belong to yourself? Lyrical, fractured, and devastating, The Quietest Scream is a gothic erotic psychological thriller-a slow-burn study in control, longing, and the terrible beauty of being known.

There is a place beneath the city where damaged magic is brought to die - and you restore it anyway. Once, you dreamed of becoming a witch. Now you spend your nights repairing forbidden spellwork for desperate strangers behind locked doors and dim candlelight. Then Qifrey appears in your workshop, far too observant to trust and far too kind to ignore. As dangerous magic begins resurfacing throughout the city, you are forced to confront the one thing you abandoned long ago; your belief in magic itself. *SLOW BURN*

​Behind the peaceful, hidden walls of the atelier, magic is an art of absolute precision, geometry, and joy. But for its master, Qifrey, it is also a shield used to mask a devastating past and an unyielding, dangerous obsession for the truth. ​The only person who truly knows what lies beneath his polite scholar's mask is Vespera, a brilliant, fluid, and fiercely perceptive restorationist who has been by his side for a long time. She understands his scars, his secrets, and the heavy burdens he carries better than anyone else. Amidst the quiet routines of the apprentices and the brewing storms of the magical world, their shared history deepens into an intense, secret passion-turning a hidden bedroom into a lawless sanctuary where they can finally leave the shadows behind. ​But the peace they find in the dark is short-lived. When a terrifying "twin bottle spell" is discovered woven into the magic ink of Qifrey's star apprentice, Coco, it threatens to unleash a catastrophic power that links the atelier directly to forbidden forces. ​To protect his students and keep his private quest from collapsing, Qifrey is forced onto a dark, morally gray path, pushing his magic to dangerous extremes to hide the truth from the Great Hall and the Knights of Moralis. As external threats close in and dangerous magical anomalies unfold, Qifrey and Vespera must rely on their deep bond to navigate a treacherous web of deception, ancient lore, and forbidden power. ​Some secrets are meant to be taken to the grave. Others are written in ink that refuses to dry.

She was never supposed to end up in his world. He was never supposed to look twice at her. Emera Graham has spent her life fighting for control-over her studies, her future, and the parts of herself shaped by a past she refuses to be defined by. At Briar U, she finally has a space that feels like her own...until a leaking ceiling, a broken apartment, and one very inconvenient brother change everything. Now she's living under the same roof as Dean Di Laurentis-Briar's infamous hockey player, certified problem, and her brother's close friend. Dean knows rules. He just rarely follows them. Especially not the ones that involve her. What starts as forced proximity turns into late-night arguments, accidental softness, and a tension neither of them can name without crossing a line they can't uncross. Because she is off limits, and he has never been good at staying away from things he shouldn't want. #1 in Dean Di Laurentis #1 Hockey Romance #1 frat #1 College Student #1 College romance REPUBLISHED + BONUS CHAPTERS started: may 15th, 2026 finished:

Ella Monsen is his equal in every way-captain of the volleyball team, just as confident, just as untouchable. They don't believe in love. They don't follow rules.

GENEVIEVE HADLEY, as a teenager, was constantly trying to grasp her parents' attention by getting into trouble and wrecking havoc. Never did she imagine that such trouble would lead to her getting pregnant at sixteen, but that's her story. Naturally, it disappointed her high-class parents so their solution to fixing "the problem" was to ship their only daughter off to Los Angeles to live with her Aunt Sue and her husband, Don. Nine months later, her daughter was born, and Genevieve had never felt such love in all of her life. The baby girl she named after herself reminded her that she was never the problem, that her parents were the ones that hurt her, and she promised to be the best mother to her daughter. Now she and her daughter are ten years older, living happily in Los Angeles, and after years of struggle, Genevieve finally has a stable job, working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher under her aunt. To this day, she has never named the man whose eyes her daughter now reflects, only informing everyone that he was just some careless hookup from her class. She never named him solely because she didn't imagine she'd ever face him again, not when she was shipped days after discovering she was pregnant. But then, after a minor fire at Evie's school, she's greeted by a firefighter who she remembers as the boy that always called her by her surname. What's worse, he recognises her immediately as the girl who disappeared from his life ten years ago. Never did he think the reason she disappeared was because she was pregnant with his child- the child who he stares at now.
