SEQUEL TO HIS SECRET (highly recommended to read his secret first possibly could be read as a standalone) It's been four years since Amira walked away from Brooks Whitmore-and the life that nearly swallowed her whole. Now twenty-eight, she's graduated from cosmetology school, raising her daughter, Alina, and building a future of her own. Stronger, sharper, and unwilling to be anyone's secret again, Amira swears her past is behind her. But when a man she's casually seeing drags her to a political event, Amira finds herself face-to-face with Brooks for the first time in years. Only now, he's married. Only now, he's on the verge of the Vice Presidency. And only now, the truth about Alina threatens to surface. Brooks has everything he was raised to want-power, status, Margot on his arm. But behind closed doors he's colder and haunted by the woman he let slip away. What happens when their worlds collide again? When secrets can't stay buried? This time, Amira isn't the girl he left behind. She's a woman with something to lose.

When 𝐊𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬, 22, drops out of college after her father is sentenced to prison for a crime he swears he didn't commit, her life collapses fast...eviction notices, unpaid tuition, a mother barely holding it together. Then 𝐄𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐭 𝐕𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐧 appears. Late 40s. Private wealth. No digital footprint. He offers her a monthly allowance for companionship only. No sex. No exclusivity clause. No explanations. What unsettles Kailani isn't the money. It's how little she needs to explain herself because he already knows.

cover by @summerafterglow 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 It's so much easier to spread lies about people than it is to spread the truth. That's what Gabriel knows to be true, at least. According to everyone in his town, he's a monster. He doesn't deserve to be walking among the rest of them. That's far from the truth, though. He was never good at being alone, but it became something he was used to. After everything he'd gone through, he craved solitude. Until she showed up. She wiggled her way right into his heart and now all he craved was her. 𝐀𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐚 Moving to a small lakeside town in Washington was not where Alyna saw her life taking her. She also didn't expect that she'd fall so hard for the brooding mechanic who lived there. Everyone tells her that she should stay away from him. All of the rumors say that he's dangerous, but all she ever feels with him is safe. With obstacles at every turn, will their love be enough to endure even the worst challenge they'll face? Or will they fall apart under the weight? started: 12/15/2023 published: 05/18/2024 completed: 07/11/2026 highest rankings: #2 bwwm #4 ongoing

Kiara was from a little countryside town where everyone knew everyone and that was just fine. That was until her mom up and left with her one night, taking her away from the only home she ever knew. From dusty roads, open skies, and the family and friends who loved her dearly, she was forced into the city. Ten years passed, Kiara now 24 and facing the death of her mother. She uncovered a box of unopened letters from her father who had been trying to reach out. With her world unraveling, she decides to return to the countryside for the summer, unsure if she'd be welcome after all this time. But some things haven't changed. Damian Wilson was still there. As old wounds reopen and buried feelings rise to the surface, Kiara must face the truth about her past, and the love she never meant to leave behind. Coming Home isn't just about where you're from... It's about who's still waiting for you. ___________ He carried me across the room, each step charged with anticipation. Reaching his door, Damian opened it with a swift motion, then stepped inside, never letting our kiss falter. Gently, he set me down on the bed, our heated gazes locked as the air thickened with promise. I feel the weight of him leaning over me, his eyes locked onto mine with a hunger that makes my heart race. His voice is low, almost a whisper, yet firm-"Tell me to stop, Kiara, and I will." My breath catches as I look up into those intense eyes, searching for any hesitation. But all I feel is an overwhelming pull towards him. I shake my head gently, my voice steady despite the flutter inside me-"I don't want you to stop." The words hang between us, charged with desire, and in that moment, everything else fades away. #2 - sensual #2 - country #3 - blackpeople

"Listen, baby. I don't wanna hear anything from you except my name. No fighting. No talking shit. You're gonna take my dick like a good girl because of the fucking hell you've been putting me through." "And if I don't want to?" "The door's locked, not barricaded," he scoffed smugly. "But you've had so many chances to tell me to give up on you and you never really did. I don't think you wanna leave, do you?" There was still a hint of doubt in his question, so he tightened his grip on my neck to compensate for his fear. This only made me hornier. He was about to ruin me.

Saige Monet is almost there. Almost famous. Almost in love. Almost his. Her voice is rising, her name is catching buzz. But the man she shares her nights, and maybe even her heart, with still keeps her tucked in the background. Niko Landry prefers it that way. Behind the camera. Behind the chaos. Behind the walls he's never let anyone through. What they have isn't defined, but it's real. At least, it feels that way. Until it all starts to slip. When a trip back home resurfaces everything Niko buried, their already fragile worlds shatters. He's forced to choose between surviving his past...or building something that lasts. And Saige? She's left with a spotlight, a broken heart, and a future that no longer includes the one person she thought might be hers. Now, she's rising without him and he's learning how to show up for more than just the moment. Because what they had was never nothing. It was almost everything. Almost real. Almost forever. Almost his. Almost yours.

I don't do one night stands. I don't wake up in strangers' beds. I don't creep out of mansions at nine in the morning with my heels in my hand. And I definitely don't lose entire nights to alcohol and end up naked next to a man whose name I don't know. Except I did. All of it. **** "Do you have a boyfriend. A fiancé. A husband." "No." "Good." Just that. Good. Like it was information he'd needed and now had. **** Syrus King is dangerous, possessive, and used to getting exactly what he wants. I was supposed to be a mistake. A blackout. A bad decision. A name I'd never have to say out loud. But he found me. And he already knew things about me I'd never told anyone. **** ⚠️ Mature themes: violence, dark content.
