Richard Steel was a misunderstood man who spent his life catching murderers, falling over, and avoiding all kinds of women to the best of his ability. He was awkward, clumsy and uptight – hard to get along with, apparently. He simply didn’t understand people, and people didn’t understand him.
Clare Brent was Richard's complete opposite - a confident, cheerful, and extremely giggly woman creature. She was up for taking risks, breaking rules and just being a little bit naughty.
Usually, this kind of woman would be Richard’s worst nightmare – but Clare was different. She seemed to understand Richard and his rather strange ways, and didn’t bully him about it like everyone else.
Richard finds himself spending all of his time with this strange woman creature, slowly learning how to be normal, whilst doing things he’d never do before.
He smiles, cuddles… and investigates a murder case behind his boss’ back. Oops.
Together, they stumble into all kinds of mischief.

One day her mother finds out about the strange man visiting her daughter and is worried about her safety. She tries everything to get rid of him, using the police; the people in charge of keeping the citizens safe. But after receiving a strange text, she enlists help of a private institution. The man keeps visiting Maggie over the years. And when Margaret turns sixteen their father gives them a gift that will change their life for the better. Chp. 4 Preview: She was able to see what the paper had on it immediately after taking it from the shelf, and it made her heart immediately drop. Her blood sugar fell, and her face became pale, feeling dizzy. Her heart began racing as she saw me staring at her. The drawing she just found was a realistic depiction of myself smiling at the person who saw it. Unlike myself, who felt joy and inspiration from seeing father draw me this, mother was scared witless. Her legs became jelly, her body was paralyzed. All she could do was stare at the drawing, knowing that no one could have drawn this except an adult. And she knew I did not talk to any adults- or did I? Now she couldn't be too sure. This picture was from someone who knew how I looked, even getting the dimples on my cheeks and small birthmark on the side of my neck. It was someone that had to know me very well.Concluida

The Devil Of Innocence (#2)
(𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘒 𝘛𝘞𝘖 𝘐𝘕 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝙁𝙍𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘛𝘙𝘐𝘓𝘖𝘎𝘠) εꨄ︎з 𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐘𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈 has spent her entire life trying to earn a freedom she was never meant to have. Kept under her mother's control for as long as she can remember, she's finally given a chance to leave it all behind. All she has to do is infiltrate the people responsible for the massacre of her clan, earn the trust of their leader, and kill him. Simple. At least, that's what she tells herself. But the closer she gets to Rowan Adams, the less anything makes sense. Faces linger a second too long. Places feel strangely familiar. Answers only seem to lead to more questions, and every lie she tells him pulls her further away from the truth she doesn't even realize she's searching for. 𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐒 is the last person anyone would expect to carry the weight he does. He's loud, sarcastic, impossible to shut up, and always the first to make someone laugh. It's easier that way. Easier than letting anyone see what's buried deep underneath. Then Amaya walks into his life. She was supposed to be just another stranger. Instead, she becomes the one person he can't stop thinking about. The one person he'd bleed for without hesitation. The only problem is that she came to destroy him. εꨄ︎з STARTED: July 2022 FINISHED: April 2023Concluida

LOVE, MYSTERY, MURDER ************************* When a wealthy heiress, confronted with a terminal diagnosis, invites a handpicked group of past and present allies to a newly furnished, secluded mountain estate, what begins as a poignant farewell soon spirals into a deadly game of secrets, lies, and hidden motives. Among those summoned is Dunk Natashai, a longtime friend and trusted auditor, called back after years of silence to witness a final act of love - and perhaps, justice. In this remote retreat, surrounded by a whispering river and looming peaks, where cell signals falter and help feels worlds away, friendships will be tested, old wounds reopened, and the fragile veneer of civility shattered. When the heiress's death, initially ruled an accident, ignites suspicion, one question blazes through the mist: Who is killing the guests - and why? With every passing hour, alliances unravel and truths emerge, as a relentless detective navigates the tangled web of passion, jealousy, and revenge - all while struggling to trust the man closest to his heart. In a world where every smile conceals a knife, and every secret could be fatal, no one is truly safe - and no one is beyond suspicion.Concluida
