Declan Chase is about to start the life of his dreams, with a promising career in plastic surgery and a supermodel-with-two-Harvard-degrees fiancée. All that stands in the way is one last month of med school, and a secret that could ruin everything. Callahan Perrin is a young prodigy with a troubled past. Famous since childhood for her unique art, her gift is also her curse. She's got every reason to be happy. A new exhibit that's getting rave reviews. A starring role in her own wildly popular reality TV show. So what is she doing in Belmont Springs Psychiatric Hospital, days after an overdose that might have been intentional? When Dec is assigned to be Callie's med student, neither one of them wants to be there. She's looking to get out of Belmont as fast as possible. He's counting down the days to graduation and his wedding. So what if they share a slightly warped sense of humor, or get so wrapped up in conversation that hours feel like minutes? Forget chemistry. Romance is off limits. After all, who would be crazy enough to fall in love in a psych ward? **Content / Trigger Warning: this story contains scenes of drug use, including an overdose, as well as suicidal ideation (Chapters 4 and 31).

** 18+ Toxic Romantasy** **Thieves Guilds, Nobles, Fantasy Races, Magic** Growing up in the criminal underworld of Tide Gate shaped them both into monsters, yet their darkness is nothing alike. He's lethal control. She's devastating chaos. Known as The Ghost, Reed drags himself through life, half-dead from a mysterious illness that deteriorates his body and haunts his mind, yet nothing can stop him from taking what he wants. Cold, calculated, and ruthless, Reed is already the city's most feared assassin and the next in line to rule the Crimson Syndicate. But his ambition is never satisfied. Nyx is a loose cannon. Unpredictable and volatile. Her presence unsettles even those closest to her, yet her danger has an allure. She is poison that tastes of honey. Freedom is all she dreams of, desperate to outrun the ghosts of her past, but she remains a prisoner of the guild and her own unraveling mind. But beneath the blood and the lies, only they understand the darkness in each other. What starts out as a vicious struggle for power and freedom soon spirals into a storm of love and toxic obsession. As long-kept secrets unravel and ancient curses awaken, they must survive not only the enemies closing in, but also a deadly love that refuses to die, no matter how dark the night becomes.

When a harmless mistake on set leads to Hollywood's most wanted actor kissing the wrong girl, Lucille Rae expects an awkward apology and nothing more. Instead, Owen Prince becomes inexplicably fascinated with her, apparently determined to make her life as complicated as possible. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend there's nothing between them. The movie star turns out to be smart, protective, remarkably funny, and... romantically closed off. So, when their flirting finally crosses a line, they make a deal: no dates, no feelings, no expectations. Just two friends enjoying the benefits of being attracted to each other. Simple. Except nothing is. Mistreated her whole life, Lucille doesn't believe in love. Still haunted by his past, Owen doesn't believe he deserves it. But sometimes romance sprouts where you least expect it.

𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘺 When a sentient shooting star crash lands into Carolina Callista's gardens claiming that a great danger is coming, she doesn't quite know what to think. Especially not when the star -- who answers to the name Whimsy -- is unlike any moonchild she has ever met before. Soon enough, Caroline is utterly transfixed. But it'll take more than the pair's growing connection to save the moonchildren from what's to come. Which just begs the question: what sort of magic does it take to banish monsters born from nightmares? DISCLAIMER: 100% of this work belongs to duckywritez.

Hi, my name is Mira and I'm entering a new phase in life. I wish it was as smooth as it sounds. I wish it was, hmm just so normal. And then there was that book. A dusty, untitled thing. As a newly heartbroken girl, I just wanted a distraction, something I could get lost in and daydream about(I almost did, until that deflecting idiot). But it messed with my head so much over time, that I can't possibly explain but I can definitely show it. What I realized is that some stories aren't just stories... maybe they're just someone else's stage entirely. PS: The author is so cruel to make me go through it all, painfully slow. A/N: This story is intended for audiences(18+). Some chapters contain strong language, alcohol use, references to self harm and mental health, sexual content and suggestive themes. Reader Discretion Advised.

This isn't written in a traditional novel style. It's cinematic and dialogue-driven-meant to feel like scenes playing out rather than long narration. If you prefer character interaction, tension, and atmosphere over heavy description, this story is for you. A thunderstorm rages outside. A child searches for comfort. A mother whose presence is far more terrifying than the storm itself. Nyla Kryven is cold. Lethal. Unyielding- yet somehow, she becomes the only anchor in Ren Kaelis' unraveling world. This is a story of fear and awe... of a bond that shouldn't exist, yet does- strange. fragile. dangerous real. © Kyierrah Love. All rights reserved. This story is an original work by Kyierrah Love.
