London 1888.
The ripper is on the loose. Everyone despairs not knowing who hides behind the persona. Meanwhile four strangers lives intersect at this impossible moment in time. Each one of them carries a secret, the others cannot know.
But time is precious and dirty business threatens to destroy their lives. What burdens do they carry? And how will Jack get to them all?
Old summary:
She loved his paintings. Always beautiful, a fever dream, red dots and black holes. Men on horses riding to the sunset or death as an angel before the Lord.
He loved her but he did not understand how to love. He shivered at the thought, broke at the seams.
And in the corners where the city lights could not fall no more, there he fell. The other one. He fell into a habit. Fell into blood. Fell into lust. Until he reached nirvana.

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Complete

Who Rules the World
"Hey. I saw you at the field. Nice goal." -two kids at a cafeteria table, laughing over nothing, never knowing they were setting the stage for everything. Through war and fire, through winnings that feel like lossing and sacrifices that taste like betrayal, they fight. Not just the world, but each other. Because friendship wounds just as deeply as love. Because giving until there's nothing left hurts just as much as losing it all. Because trusting too much-leaning too hard-can break a man more than standing alone ever could. But still, they stand. Even when their hearts splinter under the weight of loyalty. Even when anger and grief turn them into something unrecognizable. Even when history turns into fire and the world tells them to let go. "Don't blame me, baby. Love makes me crazy." An empire fell. And when the final choice comes-when the world asks for their surrender-they give their answer the only way they know how. "Hey." "Hey yourself." " I say we burn it all down. You?" "I say we go for it."

Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!
