To kick off another semester of missed classes, thumping music and messy kisses, frat president Heath Winters throws a start-of-year party with the notion that it'll be a night to remember. A night to remember it is. When Winters is busy cuddling up with long-time situationship - law student Kaycee 'Cee' Bast - someone turns the taps in the bathroom all the way, flooding it to the nines. While the blonde hotshot and his frat brothers race against time to clean up the fiercely-flowing waters, someone goes down on top of the stairs - none other than Cee. Well, not goes down. Punched into unconsciousness. Winters only finds his lady love (or perhaps, victim) when it's too late; the culprit has run for their life - and their reputation. With his president seat on fire, not to mention best friend Bradon 'Donny' Tran's vice-president role on the line as well, Winters doesn't have a choice but to dig deep. COVER ART IS CREATED BY ME

** 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.

"Marry me." "You can't be serious." It is only supposed to be a marriage of convenience. After a fire destroys the brothel where she works, Jasmine has nowhere to turn. Major Rudolph Lund offers her shelter until she can decide what comes next. Then an Army ultimatum forces him to propose. Neither of them expects the arrangement to become dangerously real. But when someone from Jasmine's past refuses to let her disappear, Rudolph discovers that protecting his wife might cost him the one thing he has sworn never to risk again... His heart.

Born into a world built on bloodlines and control, Koa Beaumont has always lived by one rule: survive, and survive free. But when his guardian dies and two buried letters crack his identity open - the last heir of a defeated noble house, raised in secret on the edge of the marsh - the Conclave doesn't wait for him to grieve. They arrest him, cage him, and strip the wind from his bones with NullCuffs. They should have left him alone. Inside Camp Leviathan, Koa finds people who've learned to call a cage a life. He finds something else too: a reason to tear the walls down for everyone, not just himself. Getting out is only the beginning. Beyond the prison walls, a regime tightening its grip on Albion, a conspiracy older than the war that orphaned him, and a truth no one wants to name are all waiting. Koa doesn't have a plan. He has a scarf, a crew, and his mother's last words burned into him like a brand. Live freely. He intends to.

"You know, you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to." Lane locked eyes with Officer Casey in the mirror without meaning to. "But I'd rather you not lie to me, Miss Mills." Silence hung like a thick smoke as Lane's tongue stuck to the roof of her mouth. "I don't know what you want me to say. I'm sorry." The words were close to a whisper. They passed a gas station she didn't recognize. The inside was dark, like it had been closed for a long time. Lane's chest tightened. "Where are we going?" She asked finally, voice tighter than she meant it to be. That earned her a sharp and fleeting glance, the corner of his mouth turning up just a fraction -- like he was in on a joke she wasn't. "Don't worry. I'll get you where you need to go." ~ All Lane is trying to do is survive in a world that's already failed her. After a childhood spent bouncing between homes, a steady job, a place to lay her head, and a beater to take her from Point A to Point B were the small things she'd fought for. Lane was trying -- she really was. Her life was finally hers, and she intended to keep it that way. But of course, as the saying goes, "Men plan, God laughs." All it took was a glance. Lane froze. And then she ran. It wasn't supposed to be her problem. But the moment those eyes caught hers, she was thrust into a world she'd always tried to avoid. And she'll have to do more than stay quiet to make it out alive. ________________________________________ Completed ✔️ _________________________________________ PREVIOUSLY 'THE PRICE OF SILENCE' Title changed 06/09/2026 Highest Rankings: #1 - Resilience {08/06/2026} #1 - Witness {08/22/2026} #1 - Captivity {08/25/2026} #1 - Strength {09/24/2026} #2 - Hope {09/21/2026} #4 - Faith {09/10/2026} #57 - Crime {09/22/2026} #89 - Suspense {09/22/2026}

🏆x6 Awards! 🥇 First Place for most tragic character: Liliah, in the Pumpkin Picnic Awards. ✨️Second Place for Best Cover in the Cassiopeia Mini Awards. Proud to say What Was Held made the short list in The Original Muse Awards! I'm Liliah. Sixteen, almost seventeen. I hate being me. Why? Ten reasons: 1. I'm stuck in Muxleigh - a suffocating seaside town. 2. My mum only cares when it affects her. 3. My step-dad runs our house on fear. 4. I'm failing the person I love most: my six-year-old sister, Forsythia. 5. I don't know who I am... or why I'm here. 6. I attacked the worst boy in town - now I'm hated, and he's still worshipped. 7. My vice? It's leaving scars. 8. My mental health? Apparently I belong in a psych ward, ask Oriella. 9. Bexmoore was meant to be a fresh start. It wasn't. 10. I had two chances at something real... and I ruined them both. I'm at breaking point. Hiding in the dirt, literally, I'm not joking. What I hate the most? How alone I feel. Maybe telling my story means someone else won't feel like this. Before it's too late.

Her father has already chosen the man she's supposed to marry. Refusing to surrender her future, Bella comes up with a reckless plan: find a temporary husband, stay married for one year, then quietly walk away. She expects every man to say yes. Elijah Romano is the first to say no. A talented young chef in Paris, Elijah has no interest in Bella's fortune, her status, or the life she represents. The more she pushes, the more stubborn he becomes. What begins as a battle of wills slowly leads them far from the glittering streets of Paris to the quiet island of Isla Verde, where shared meals, muddy fields, and ordinary days begin to change them both in ways neither expected. Because sometimes love doesn't arrive with grand declarations. Sometimes... It begins with someone quietly asking, "Have you eaten?"

​"He was the world's biggest star. She was the only one who saw him." ​"Two worlds. Ten hours of flight. One truth." ​"In a world full of noise, their love was the only thing quiet."
