He wasn't just my best friend. He was my architect. Ela Miller is "clumsy." She's the girl who loses her keys, fails her bio-labs, and relies on her genius best friend, Liam Vance, to keep her world upright. When their parents leave them alone for a month during a record-breaking storm, Liam offers to teach her the "lessons" she's missed out on-how to kiss, how to touch, how to know a man. But as the rain pours, the "puppy-eyed" boy-next-door starts to slip. Every touch is too practiced. Every "accidental" encounter feels like a trap. And the security cameras in the house? They aren't for her protection. They're for his viewing. Ela thinks she's the teacher. She has no idea she's the prey. By the time the sun comes out, Liam doesn't just want her heart. He wants her name, her future, and every breath she takes. He's been planning this for twenty-one years. And he's tired of playing nice. He didn't become obsessed because he didn't understand love-he became obsessed because he thought he understood it too well. Growing up, he saw a kind of love that felt safe, constant, and complete, and somewhere along the way, he started believing that this was the only way life could feel whole. So when he met her, he didn't just see a person-he saw the possibility of recreating that same world. And slowly, without even realizing it, his love turned into something heavier... something that needed to hold on too tightly, just to feel secure. She wasn't unaware-she was just never taught to trust herself. Growing up, every decision was made for her, every mistake corrected, every thought quietly replaced by someone else's "better" way. So when he stepped in to guide her, it didn't feel like control... it felt familiar. He didn't take her independence away-she had never really learned to hold onto it in the first place. And when care starts to look like control, it becomes almost impossible to tell the difference.

No fights. No distractions. No complications. Cassian Hawthorne has spent his life buried in books, sheltered by his overprotective parents. But with college looming, he's ready to change that. He has a list of firsts to complete, and the unbothered new girl seems like the perfect person to help him. *** She needs the cash. He needs the experience. It's just business... until addictive kisses, lingering touches, and stolen glances make it anything but. What happens when their deal turns into something neither of them can control? Will they allow these sparks to fly, or will their personalities be far too different to carry on? ☪︎ ִ ࣪𖤐 𐦍 ☾𖤓 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐱 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐲 [CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE] #1 in goodboy #1 in badgirl #1 in badgirlgoodboy #1 in plottwist #1 in forbiddenlove #1 in bucketlist #1 in eroticromance #2 in romance #2 in steamy #2 in lovestory #3 in teenromance

He used to bully her. Now he owns her. When Alessia Romano walked into her new job at De Luca Enterprises, the last face she expected to see was his-Giovanni De Luca, the rich, sadistic bastard who tormented her in college... and the man who now controls her career, her body, and her every breath. Worse? He's not just a billionaire CEO. He's the boss of the Italian Mafia-and he's been waiting for her. Giovanni doesn't just want Alessia under his command-he wants her on her knees, begging, branded, and broken in all the ways only he can deliver. And when she resists, he doesn't fire her. He cages her. The tension is unbearable. The sex? Rough, possessive, and addictive. He spanks. He binds. He whispers filth in Italian while she moans into silk sheets. And despite her defiance, her hate, her fear-her body keeps surrendering. But Alessia is no longer the scared girl from college. She's smarter. Angrier. And dangerously close to falling in love with the devil who's tying her wrists and stealing her soul. In a world of secrets, bullets, and obsession, love isn't safe. It's a weapon. WARNING ⚠️ This story is extremely erotic If that's not your scene then please don't read But if you love dark erotica then you'll love this novel

Luca Romano is a force to be reckoned with - a powerful, wealthy man who commands respect and fear in equal measure. He's ruthless to his enemies, but to those he loves, he's fiercely loyal and protective. And I am his. From the moment I entered his world, I knew I was in deep. I was drawn to his strength, his charisma, and the way he made me feel alive. But there's a dark side to him, a predator that lurks just beneath the surface. It both thrills and terrifies me. As I navigate the dangerous world of Luca's business dealings, I find myself caught in the crosshairs of his enemies. But Luca won't let anyone hurt me. He'll stop at nothing to keep me safe, even if it means putting his own life on the line. But as the stakes get higher and the danger intensifies, I can't help but wonder: can our love survive in a world so full of violence and betrayal? Or will my past and present catch up with us, tearing us apart forever? COVER DONE BY: @typinchapters

River Williams is a master at playing the happy, normal college student. But behind her easy smile is a girl fighting a silent war against her own mind, living in the shadow of a high school mistake that cost her everything. She doesn't deserve love, and she certainly doesn't deserve JJ Belmont, the arrogant, fiercely protective hockey captain she accidentally shot down at a party two years ago. JJ Belmont doesn't do rejection. He definitely doesn't do River, the icy English major who has been a thorn in his side ever since she blew him off. But when his grades plummet, and his captaincy is threatened, he's forced to swallow his pride and beg his favorite enemy for help. The plan is simple: she tutors him, he passes, and they go back to ignoring each other. But behind closed doors, the animosity starts to blur into something scorching hot. But River's past is a landmine, and a single hidden secret is waiting to explode the trust they've built. *UNEDITED* ____________________ ✩ rankings: #1 SPORTSROMANCE (29/08/2026) #1 HOCKEYPLAYER (29/08/2026) #1 ROMANTICCOMEDY (22/07/2026) #1 COLLAGE (16/08/2026) #1 UNIVERSITY (01/07/2026) #3 MICHEGAN (05/07/2026) #3 JOCK (05/07/2026) #5 ROMANTIC (22/07/2026) [Word Count: 113,700+] Copyright ©2026 by Annabella May

A marriage neither wanted. A hatred neither understands. Two strangers tied by a past that stains everything between them. He never wanted a wife. Especially not her. Cold, distant, and poisoned by assumptions, Amaan enters the forced marriage with one intention- to keep his distance and keep his resentment alive. Asmaira enters with something far heavier- guilt. Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.

This is enemies to lovers with real hate. A strong female lead. A dark alpha prince. And a slow burn so intense, it threatens to consume them both. As the headstrong princess of Duskari, Aeris has always defied expectations-and her father's warnings. When the brutal Skaldur warriors march into her kingdom under a fragile truce, she meets their leader: Zerek, the cold and ruthless alpha prince who killed her brother and has come to marry one of her sisters. Including her. But Aeris would not bow. Not even when Zerek sets his sights on her, not just as a pawn, but as a prize. What begins as bitter hatred soon ignites into forbidden love. In a war-torn kingdom built on ancient grudges and deadly secrets, their attraction is a dangerous game. One misstep could cost her freedom. Or worse-her heart.

• Friends to enemies to lovers • Dark themes and gothic vibes • Situations some readers might find offensive • Spicy romance with dark elements *** Never did I expect to find Trouble in New York (oh, the irony of it). But BANG and Trouble aka Connor Black, otherwise known as my childhood best friend, who I had a huge crush on once upon a time, is back in my life. Everyone says he's dark, dangerous, and a total bully. Which sounds nothing like the kid that loved watching me dance ballet in my ridiculously pink tutu dress. We left each other with broken hearts and unfulfilled promises, and now he's back in my life, threatening to destroy me. Hahaha... You know what's funnier than him claiming he wants to ruin me? Me knowing he can, and still loving EVERY second of it. He doesn't give me answers, promises, or hope...he doesn't give me anything, but when he looks at me with those green eyes of his, I know I can really make him fall in love with me. The question is, can I destroy his walls before he destroys me? 🏆Latest Achievements #1 in LoveHate #1 in BadBoyGoodGirl #1 in BadBoy #1 in BFFLove #1 in BadBoyInLove #1 in CollegeRomance

"You've wanted me for a while, huh?" he whispered, hands going lower and lower until I felt him in between my thighs. I arched my back as he started stroking me. So very gently. "Have you wanted me?" he whispered. "Yes," I told him. "I have. Please...." I felt him kneeling down in between my legs and lick me through my leggings, and I moaned, arching my back. "How long have you wanted me?" he whispered as he licked. "Years..." I cried softly, hands catching the sheets. "For years." "How much do you need me?" he asked. "So much," I told him. "It hurts... Every time I stroke myself and come, it's never enough. It hurts." "How much do you need me, Aspen?" he asked me. "How much do you need your Ace?" "I need you..." I cried softly as he kept licking. "I need you so much it hurts...." Aspen Campbell wants to protect the things she loves, but she wasn't sure if she could keep her ex boyfriend out of her life anymore; not when it was summer break and they were moving to the same college next semester, and Ace wanted to meet. What game would he play? She wasn't sure if she could resist the temptation to win. (Catch Me if You Can is in the dangerous realm, but is not part of a series) #1 in "hooking" (May 21, 2025)
