Safe With You
Ivy never expected to fall for her brother's best friend-especially not after everything she'd been through. Shipped off to live with the father who never wanted her, Ivy spent years learning how to survive. But when she returned home broken and bruised, it wasn't her family who saved her. It was Tyler. Her protector. Her safe place. Her Daddy. Now living under the same roof, Ivy and Tyler navigate a fragile, healing love rooted in deep trust and the softest, sweetest version of dominance and submission. Tyler gives Ivy everything she never knew she needed: gentle rules, bedtime snuggles, and unconditional care. In return, she gives him her heart-and her whole self. But the past never stays buried. When a ghost from their history reappears, it threatens everything they've built. Together, they'll face old scars, reclaim their power, and prove that love-especially the kind that's chosen every single day-is the most healing force of all.Complete
Axle's Perjury
Axle lives behind carefully constructed walls, preferring the searing familiarity of emotional pain and isolation to the terrifying vulnerability of hope. Scarred by a past that whispers constant self-loathing, their self-imposed exile is a safer haven than the prospect of letting anyone in. Yet, Rowan, easy to read and easygoing yet possessing the will of a gladiator, is inexplicably drawn to Axle's blatant warnings of "Danger. Stay Away." Despite the crushing darkness that consumes Axle, Rowan glimpses a raw flicker of worth, a soul worth fighting for, recognizing a similar battle fought within themselves. Now, Rowan faces a perilous choice that could shatter them both: risk everything to breach Axle's defenses and understand the torment that binds them, or lose to the destructive grip of despair. This isn't merely about physical strength for Rowan; it's a fierce, unwavering determination to conquer Axle's deeply ingrained self-destruction, even if it means confronting his own vulnerabilities. Can this gladiator, driven by a profound ambition to save, truly rescue Axle from the precipice without succumbing to the same destructive flame that threatens to consume them both.Complete
DESIRE AFTER THE RAIN
Two hearts that never sought love somehow found themselves in its crossfire. Desire had always been hungry not for a hand to hold, not for whispered promises, but for success that would make her name matter. Every choice she made, every risk she took, was fueled by that relentless fire burning inside her. Love was a luxury she couldn't afford. Rowan, meanwhile, lived tethered to a ghost. His heart belonged to someone who had walked out of his life but never left his memory. He wasn't looking for another; he was only surviving, counting the days in quiet solitude, haunted by what once was. And then Desire appeared a spark he didn't expect, a force he didn't know he needed. They collided, brushed against each other's edges, and for a moment, it seemed like something could bloom. But they both knew better. Desire could not pause for love, and Rowan could not unchain his past. while Rowan thought he had lost Desire to ambition, and Desire believed Rowan was lost to memory, neither realized that in their fleeting connection, they had already changed each other. Desire's fire had awakened a part of Rowan he thought was buried forever, and Rowan's quiet depth had given Desire a glimpse of something more than hunger. Did Desire ever find a reason to love, or was success always enough to fill the emptiness inside her? Did Rowan finally let go of the ghost of his past, or did it follow him quietly, like a shadow he could never shake?
