He lives by rules. She breaks them just by existing. Atlas "Priest" Adams is the president of the Saints of Retribution MC-a brotherhood of former soldiers who hunt the worst monsters hiding in plain sight. He believes in control, silence, and distance. No titles. No promises. No babies. Attachments get people killed. Dr. Indigo "Blue" Thorne isn't looking for danger. After a brutal night in the ER, she finds solace in a bar-and in a man who promises nothing beyond one night. She agrees to his rules because she doesn't want forever. Neither of them is telling the truth. What starts as a no-strings arrangement turns into something deeper, even as Priest insists Blue is temporary. Then the past comes roaring back. When his brother's widow arrives at the clubhouse pregnant and desperate, Priest's silence and half-truths destroy everything Blue thought she understood. So she disappears. Months later, fate drags them back together in an ER bay-where Priest sees the woman he lost... and the child she's carrying. Now Priest must face the consequences of the rules he hid behind, the words he never said, and the woman he never claimed. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, he'll have to decide whether love is a weakness- -or the one thing worth bleeding for. PRIEST is a dark, emotional MC romance about control, miscommunication, and the cost of loving halfway-featuring a hardened hero, a strong heroine, betrayal, redemption, and a hard-won happily ever after.

She trusted her with everything. That was her first mistake. Mara Bennett thought she knew heartbreak until the day she discovered her husband wasn't just unfaithful. He was sleeping with the one person she trusted more than anyone: her best friend since childhood, Celeste. For three years, Celeste held Mara while she cried about her crumbling marriage. She listened to every fear, every suspicion, every moment of doubt and then walked straight into the arms of Mara's husband, bringing those secrets with her like twisted pillow talk. But this isn't just a story about betrayal. It's about a woman who refused to break. As Mara unravels the lies and discovers just how deep the deception runs, she must decide: Does she let this destroy her or does she rebuild herself into someone they'll never see coming? Because when trust shatters, revenge doesn't always look like fire and fury. Sometimes, it looks like a woman who finally learns her own worth. A gripping, emotional psychological drama about friendship, betrayal, and the quiet strength it takes to walk away from everything you thought you knew.

For twelve years, I thought I had the perfect life in our quiet Chicago suburb. A loving husband, three beautiful kids, and my childhood best friend who felt more like a sister. Family barbecues, late-night talks, unbreakable trust. Until the day I discovered the truth about sweet little Everly the three -year-old I've always called my niece. She's not my brother-in-law's daughter. She's my husband's. And her mother? My best friend. They hid it for three long years while I shared every secret, every laugh, every tear with the woman who helped create the biggest lie of my life. This is my story of love turned to ashes, betrayal that cuts deeper than anything I've ever known, and the question that haunts me every single day: How do you rebuild when the two people you trusted most stole your entire world?❤️‍🔥❤️

This contains only the first four chapters. The book will be published in January on Amazon after edits. A dark, haunting romance of control, obsession, and the woman who dared to walk away. Rune knew exactly what she was doing when she entered Dorian Black's world. He was cold, brilliant, and untouchable-a man who didn't believe in love, only contracts. She accepted the role he offered: loyal secretary, occasional lover, silent shadow. Bound by rules. Defined by limits. But when her usefulness runs out, Dorian discards her like all the others. Only this time, Rune walks away carrying something he never planned for .And a truth she's kept hidden for years. Now, as she prepares to rebuild the life she left behind, Dorian is forced to confront what he thought he controlled. Because Rune was never meant to matter. She was supposed to leave his life untouched. But some bonds go deeper than desire. And some memories don't stay down. A slow-burn tale of longing, betrayal, and the quiet strength it takes to choose yourself.

🔥 LIVE on Amazon KU! He pined for the wrong woman. And it cost him the right one. When Aarohi left the country, Advik's heart cracked-but it was Greesha's absence that fully shattered it. She'd moved cities for him, built a life with him, handed him her whole damn heart... but then he whispered Aarohi's name when he thought Greesha wasn't listening. Years later, fate throws them back together. But the Greesha Advik once knew-the one who waited, hoped, and forgave-is long gone. This Greesha is guarded. Grounded. Unshakably distant. And he's no longer sure if there's even a version of her who'll let him in again. Because some women burn bright with grace. And some women learn never to waste it again. She wasted hers on him.

William, Earl of Ashford, and Violet Hayes had known each other since childhood-he, heir to a great title, and she, the daughter of his father's horse master and the cook. What began as innocent friendship blossomed into stolen kisses and whispered vows. William swore their love would cross every boundary of class, that nothing-not family, nor duty, nor the rigid rules of society-would keep them apart. But when William returns from London in the midst of the Season, it is not to claim Violet's hand as he had promised-it is to announce his engagement to a woman of wealth and pedigree. Violet's pleas shatter against his cold words: this is his duty, and nothing will change it. Worse still, his mother ensures Violet's disappearance, warning that if she does not leave at once, her parents will lose their livelihoods. Lady Ashford will not allow a servant's daughter-carrying her son's child-to remain when his new bride is soon to arrive. To Violet, it is not only her love William has cast aside-but their unborn child as well. Shattered and alone, she is sent away, banished from the man she once trusted with her entire heart and soul. Years pass. William's glittering marriage ends in ashes when his wife dies childless, leaving him with nothing but regret. Seeking Violet at last, he finds not the trusting girl who once believed in his promises, but a woman carved by heartbreak and hardened by loss. Violet lives only for her daughter-the child William rejected long ago. Her heart is withered, her trust broken, and she no longer believes in the promises of men. When it mattered most, William did not choose her. And Violet Hayes has vowed never again to be that girl who chose him. Content Warnings: referenced suicide (off-page), child choking incidents (fully resolved), emotional cruelty/manipulation, abandonment of a pregnant heroine, loveless duty marriage, grief/loss, class power imbalance, and secret baby (father unaware).
