So how do you meet a killer, or in my case, a serial killer? You would think that I would meet him in a darkened alleyway, or perhaps on a hike through the forest as I unwillingly stumbled upon his bloody dumping grounds. That would make for an adrenaline-filled start to our story, our dance of death, but that's not how it happened at all. No, I met my killer where a lot of people meet these days. And no it wasn't on tinder or with any of those other damned dating apps. He wasn't that kind of serial killer. No, I met him at the local grocery store, I met him at my place of work. Just my luck right? Some would call it destiny, but in all honesty it was all just a throw of a dice, and a late night shift at work that needed to be filled. Warning: This twisted story is not intended for a younger audience. It will contain violence, sex, foul language, death, mind games, and so on. Stop reading if you are easily triggered by such things.

Mon année de césure devait être une parenthèse de liberté. J'avais tout planifié : des petits boulots pour financer mon voyage, un itinéraire soigneusement tracé pour arpenter le Canada, et l'espoir fou de vivre l'aventure dont je rêvais depuis des mois. J'étais prête à changer ma vie. Prête à tout conquérir. Jusqu'à cette nuit. Jusqu'à ce qu'une lame effleure ma gorge. Jusqu'à ce que mes yeux se noient dans ce bleu glacial, promesse de ma perte. Je n'avais rien demandé. Rien ne me destinait à croiser la mafia irlandaise. Et pourtant, en une seconde, mon monde s'est effondré. Mon voyage s'est arrêté. Ma liberté aussi. Aujourd'hui, je suis la proie du diable. Aucun plagiat s'il vous plait.

[COMPLETE] Brenton Tucker swept like a cool breeze into the long, stifled summer of Amelia's life. He was everything a hero should be-- all easy smiles, broad shoulders, and rakish good looks. Years of common sense left her when he invited her into his company, and she found herself tangled with him beneath virgin sheets. He worshiped her body, crooned sweet promises into her ear, and a dismal future forecast of drudgery and struggle lifted away at his words. He claimed her, stole her away from strangled city life, and rewrote her future in one glorious night of star-crossed lovemaking. There was just one problem-- Brent Tucker wasn't hero of Amelia's story.

Scampia, Naples, Italie. Ce quartier était toute mon existence, ses murs de béton, ma maison et ses habitants, ma seule famille. La Camorra n'avait pas le droit de m'arracher à tout ce que j'avais pour me vendre comme un putain d'objet. Mais là n'était pas mon plus grand malheur, parce que Lui, depuis qu'il m'avait vue, me convoitait. Si tenter d'échapper à la Camorra semblait périlleux, tenter d'échapper à Zed Valbonessi relevait clairement du suicide.

Lady Eleanor Cantwell, daughter of the Marquess of Salford, is a proper young lady. With her golden complexion, raven-black hair, and manners befitting a princess, Lady Eleanor has always been deemed a belle. There is just one problem. Lady Eleanor Cantwell is Indian. Having been adopted from India when Lady Salford found herself unable to bear a child, Lady Eleanor is shunned by society, including her mother, on account of her true heritage. The ladies turn their noses at her and the gentlemen only wish for her virtue which she clings to dearly. They certainly have no wish to wed an Indian girl, no matter how pretty she is! Which is why the entire ton is incredulous when a young man - a duke, no less! - offers his hand in marriage to the young daughter of the Marquess of Salford. Lady Eleanor finds it quite hard to believe that any gentleman would wish to marry her and instead of feeling grateful, all she feels is remorse and anger. A husband would only bring with him a mountain of restrictions that were detrimental to her plans of travelling the world - the land of her ancestors, in particular. So, when her parents sell her off to the duke, she realises that she no longer cares for society, her beloved father, or her reputation. And when the duke makes her an enticing offer, she realises she would have to abandon all sense of propriety, manners, and rules to do what he asks of her. She would have to defy. . * Favourite in the Amby Awards 2025 hosted by @TheAmbys @Ambassadors * 1st Place Winner in HISTORICAL FICTION of the HIDDEN GEMS AWARDS * Featured in the "Diverse Fiction" reading list by @Ambassadors * Featured in the "Historical Fiction" reading list by @AmbassadorsIN * Featured in the "Ambassador's Monthly Picks (Oct 2025)", "War & Military" and "Historical DiverseLit" reading lists by @HistoricalFiction * Featured in the "Historical Adventures" and "DiverseLit Adventures" reading lists by @adventure
