Sold at sixteen. Betrayed by blood. Passed from one monster to another. For years, Stella Eves has known only chains-some visible, others carved into her soul. Every new mafia boss who claims her takes something from her, leaving behind nothing but scars and a heart frozen by cruelty. Until now. Noah Black is different. Dangerous, ruthless, and feared by many, but with her, he is something else. He doesn't force, doesn't hurt-yet he owns her all the same. His touch is possessive but never cruel, his gaze dark but never empty. He offers her safety in a world that has only ever taken from her. But Stella knows better than to trust a man with blood on his hands. Because kindness in the mafia always comes with a price. And Noah? He won't let her go-not without a fight. In a world where love is twisted and freedom is an illusion, Stella must decide: is Noah her captor or her only salvation? Ranking- #1-mafialove #1-understanding

Humanity lives underground, hiding from a poisoned world they destroyed. Nasha was born above ground - and she can breathe the air that kills most. That makes her valuable. And a prisoner. Captured by an underground system desperate to reclaim the surface, she becomes the subject of brutal experimentation led by Valen, a scientist who hides his own dark past. As Valen pushes ethical boundaries in the name of salvation, a twisted bond forms between captor and captive-Nasha clinging to him as her only constant, Valen drawn to the power she gives him. Their relationship blurs the line between control and connection, forcing a reckoning over survival, exploitation, and who gets to decide what a "happy ending" truly means. A dark, psychological post-apocalyptic novel about survival, sacrifice, and the cost of hope.

(Still posting but planning major rewrite) At twenty-two, Paisley James is holding her family together by the seams-barely. Between her gas station night shifts, a sick father, and a younger sister who's slipping away, there's no room for dreams. Or herself. Then Jude Bennett arrives in town with a camera and grief of his own. What begins as a documentary turns into something more intimate-an unflinching look at a life quietly unraveling. As the winter deepens, so does their connection. But healing isn't simple, and love doesn't erase the past. The Weight of Quiet Things is a story about care, exhaustion, and the slow return to hope.
