She hides behind firewalls. He hides behind bullets. When their worlds collide, secrets won't be the only thing exposed. Raven Voss didn't ask for this life. She was doing just fine behind her screens-unseen, unbothered, and in control. That is, until Dante Moretti crashed into her world... literally. One second she's on her way to a job interview. The next, her SUV is smashed, her latte's on the ceiling, and there's a man with a helmet and a stare that could burn through steel. He's trouble. She knows it. But her world was never built for peace-and neither was his. In a city where power comes with blood, and love feels like a weakness, Raven is about to find out what it means to be claimed... body, mind, and soul. ⚠️ Dark Romance | Possessive Male Lead | Slow Burn | Hacker x Mafia | Enemies to Lovers |HEA

At twenty-four, Cora really believed she knew what her life was going to be like. But when that perfect life threw her a curveball with two pink lines and a suddenly bare ring finger, she's forced to face a new life she didn't know could belong to her. Now five months pregnant and still alone, she's left trying to prepare for a baby while untangling herself from years that have left her without an identity. She isn't looking for a savior, just wishing to be stable enough for her baby. Eric isn't good with words. He never has been. But in every small act of service, every quiet presence, every protective glance when life reminds Cora how vulnerable she still feels, he says everything he doesn't know how to speak aloud. He doesn't try to save her, but somewhere in that silently protective presence of his, Eric becomes something more dangerous than a savior. He quickly becomes someone she begins to trust.

And this time, it's not just about walking away-it's about making sure he feels every ounce of the pain he inflicted. Because some mistakes don't deserve second chances. Some destroy everything. "Years of Love, Seconds of Destruction".

I loved her first. She married him anyway. Ten years later, she showed up at my door, broken, betrayed, begging for help to leave the husband who threw her away. She thinks I'm being kind. Helping an old friend. She doesn't know I've been waiting. She never knew how I loved her. Never knew I watched her wedding from the back of the church. Never knew she was the reason I buried my heart so deep even I forgot where. Now she's back. Vulnerable. Trusting. Asking the one man who never stopped wanting her to help her walk away from someone else. This time? I'm not letting her go.

Marianna was never meant to be a pawn. When Kade enters her life, he does so with intention. A lie. Disowned by his powerful rival family, he uses Marianna to secure what he's been denied: access, protection, and her family's connections. Their relationship is supposed to be a strategy. A means to an end. Except Kade doesn't expect to fall in love with her. What begins as careful manipulation turns into something dangerously real. Stolen glances linger too long. Arguments end in confessions neither of them are ready to make. Every quiet moment chips away at the wall Kade built between who he is and who he's pretending to be. And threaded through it all is a bond that refuses to behave: distant, muted, wrong. Like it's waiting. Watching. Holding its breath. When Marianna finally learns who Kade really is, and why he chose her, the fallout is brutal. The truth detonates everything: her love, her trust, the future she thought she was choosing. She walks away shattered, furious, done. Whatever fragile thing existed between them is ashes in her hands. And that's when it happens. When Marianna has nothing left to give him, she's chosen herself. When she's finally, truly through, The bond snaps into place. The universe doesn't reward patience. It doesn't care about timing or forgiveness. It simply claims what it's owed, binding her to the man who betrayed her at the exact moment she no longer wants him. Betrayal was always part of the plan. Falling in love was not. And the bond? The bond has the worst sense of humor of all. ***this story explores mating bonds in humans as a cultural norm. There are no werewolves or supernatural beings in this world***

Ellie spent years rebuilding her life after public humiliation, loss, and betrayal at the hands of Renzo Bellavere - the golden boy who destroyed her family and never looked back. Now fate has bound them together. In a world where mates are sacred and refusal is taboo, Ellie must navigate a bond she never consented to, a society that demands compliance, and a man who believes destiny absolves everything he's done. This is not a story about instant forgiveness. It's about autonomy. About survival. And about what it takes to reclaim yourself when even fate is against you. FYI: this story explores mating bonds in an everyday world very similar to ours. They are not werewolves or vampires. Just humans with mating bonds!

A slow smirk curved his lips - not warm, not kind... the kind that made the air feel thinner. "Scared?" he said quietly, almost amused. "You should be." Her breath hitched. "I'm not going to hurt you," he continued, voice low and controlled, "unless you give me a reason to." "𝐒𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨" Top ranks ❤️ 3 #stalker 9 #dangerouslove 8 #controlling 30 April 2016
