Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

Beneath silk sheets and whispered promises, some secrets are too dangerous to survive. Scarlett Hayes has spent years building the perfect life-successful career, loyal friends, and walls high enough to keep anyone from seeing the scars underneath. Love was never part of the plan. Not after betrayal taught her that trusting the wrong man can destroy everything. Then she meets Damien Cross. Dark-eyed, arrogant, and impossible to resist, Damien is the kind of man women warn each other about. Billionaire by day, mystery by night, he hides dangerous secrets behind expensive suits and sinful smiles. The chemistry between them is instant, explosive, and impossible to ignore. What begins as stolen nights tangled in satin sheets quickly turns into something deeper... something neither of them expected. But Damien's world is darker than Scarlett realizes. Enemies lurk in the shadows. Lies begin to unravel. And when Scarlett discovers the truth about the man she's falling for, she's forced to decide if passion is worth risking her heart-and her life. Because in Damien's world, love isn't safe. It's addictive. And once he lets someone into his sheets... he never lets them go.

It starts with a contract, not a love story. After a mission in Spain goes wrong, Aleksandra Mikhailovna Dragunova, Moscow's Bratva princess, is ordered to marry the lion of Sicily to stop a war. One wrong deal. One betrayal. One forced marriage between two empires that should never mix... and a slow-burn obsession that could burn them all. Hunted by her own world and driven out of every safe house and city, Aleksandra has one way left to survive: align with the Spadaro family. A ring she never wanted becomes her only shield. Domiziano Massimo Spadaro, Underboss and the heir to the Black Lion's crown, was raised on blood oaths and loyalty. His loyalty is the kind that makes men fear his name more than the law. When the contract lands on his desk, he doesn't see a bride; he sees a liability wrapped in strategy. A Dragunov. A woman he is ordered to claim, never trust. Aleksandra led men who killed at her word and bled at her feet. Her rules were simple: freedom over fairy tales. Power over promises. Control over love. They walk into the marriage as enemies, bound by ink, not choice. They promise themselves one thing: do not fall. ~~~ "He was supposed to be my protection. Not my addiction." ~ Aleksandra Dragunova

As the year goes on, Rhin learns to strengthen her self-control, discover the power of friendships, and navigate the growing tension between them. She has always known what she wants, but Kade's constant challenges and unexpected kindness make it harder to ignore the bond slowly growing between them. External pressures build and tension rises as Rhin is forced to decide if she will let herself become distracted by him or stay focused on the lifelong dream she has fought so hard to achieve.

Dust has spent his entire life living in the shadows of violence, loyalty, and bloodshed. As Smoke's stepbrother and right-hand man, he's known throughout the city as ruthless, unpredictable, and dangerously loyal to the people he considers family. While Smoke rules with fear and control, Dust is the chaos beside him-the man willing to get his hands dirty without hesitation. But underneath the tattoos, sharp tongue, and reckless behavior is a man carrying years of anger, abandonment, and loneliness. Dust has never believed he deserved love. Not after the life he's lived. Not after all the blood on his hands. Then she walks into his life. She's everything he isn't-soft where he's hard, patient where he's impulsive, and brave enough to look past the monster everyone else fears. For the first time, Dust begins to imagine a future beyond violence and survival. But enemies are closing in, old betrayals resurface, and Dust's past refuses to let him go. Now he has to decide if he's willing to lose everything to protect the woman who's slowly teaching him how to live instead of simply survive. In a world built on loyalty, danger, and family, Dust will have to fight for the one thing he never thought he could have: Love.

"𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄" (n.) a state of being pleasantly lost in one's day dream. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Alexios Vasilakis prefers silence over people. Transferring to Halstead College was never meant to be anything more than a clean escape; a place to play football, keep his head down, and stay far away from anything that might crack the control he's spent years building because control is the only thing he's ever had. Back in Greece, love came with conditions, and silence was safer than speaking, safer than feeling. Then there's Sienna Hartwell, loud in all the ways he isn't. Stubbornly kind and impossible to ignore. She slips through his carefully built walls without trying, without even realizing she's doing it and somehow, she becomes the one complication he can't seem to avoid or walk away from. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Sienna Hartwell has always believed love is worth the risk. Even after years of holding onto feelings for someone who never saw her the same way, she refuses to let disappointment harden her heart. So when the quiet, guarded Greek transfer student joins Halstead's football team, she doesn't see distance, she sees someone worth understanding and when Alex, against his better judgment, agrees to help her win over the boy she's always wanted, it should've been simple. It wasn't. Because somewhere between stolen glances, quiet moments and everything left unsaid. The lines begin to blur.

Luken Hunt is a virgin. A 23 year-old, NHL-playing, star-forward virgin. He's spent years dodging the post-game parties, the groupies, the endless opportunities that come with being a pro athlete. He's too focused on hockey, too awkward, too... completely out of his depth when it comes to women. Then Brooklyn Launder walks into his life. Sharp, stunning, and absolutely off-limits, she's the sports reporter who's seen it all-cocky athletes, bad pickup lines, and men who think they can charm their way into her life. But Luken? He's different. And when a flustered interview of his goes viral, turning the league's most unapproachable player into everyone's favorite bashful hockey heartthrob, Brooklyn finds herself just as intrigued as the rest of the internet. So when he confesses he's never even been kissed properly, Brooklyn makes a proposition-a few lessons. Just to help him out. A kiss here, a little guidance there. Nothing serious. Until the first lesson turns into two. Then three. And suddenly, Luken is learning fast-not just how to kiss, but how to touch, tease, and drive Brooklyn absolutely insane. But with the media watching, a locker room full of relentless teammates, and a career that demands all of him, Luken has to decide if he's ready to risk it all-for the one thing he's never had. A slow-burn, forbidden, scorching-hot hockey romance where the shy, virgin hockey star gets the ultimate education-and the woman he never saw coming. 𓅷 [SMUT Warning] [18+ Mature Audiences] Don't copy my work I will find you 🔪 4/14/25 1 in #sports 1 in friendswithbenefits 1 in hockey 1 in badgirlgoodboy 1 in nhlhockey 1 in nhlfanficton
