Lola thought she had it all figured out. A steady 9-to-5, minimal drama, and lunchtime gossip with her best friend-this is what being an adult is supposed to look like, right? Sure, dodging PC Tim's unwanted advances has become a daily ritual, but it's a small price to pay for a quiet, predictable life. After all, this is what she wanted. It's why she left.
Cam was born into chaos. Raised in a world of crime, power, and ruthless loyalty, it's all he's ever known-and he's thrived in it. Untouchable. Feared. Always in control. But something's missing. Something that made the darkness feel less cold. She was his-until she vanished without a trace.
When their worlds collide again, Lola and Cam are forced to confront the truth: some ties never really break. But with secrets, danger, and unfinished business between them, can two people from opposite lives find something real-or will the past destroy their second chance?All Rights Reserved

Nocturne 18+ by rosa_lidia

COMPLETED✔️ What follows is a violent clash of worlds, where elegance is destroyed by brutality and innocence is trapped by a darkness far deeper and more dangerous than anything she imagined. Her dream of becoming the greatest ballerina, praised by her parents and supported by a loving friend was once the perfect vision of her life. But fate with its cold indifference doesn't follow the paths we choose. Instead it controls our lives. In one sudden turn her world is flipped upside down and she meets a man who is nothing like the one she dreamed of. He is ruthless, consumed by his own ego, a mystery to all who encounter him. His abilities are beyond comparison, his morals fractured and ambiguous, and his true intentions buried beneath a veil of darkness. Where once she believed her life was guided by passion and elegance, she now finds herself thrust into a world governed by dominance and brutality, where survival no longer hinges on talent or grace but on submission to a far more unforgiving force.

The Only Queen by spoiledbrathani

[MAFIA ROMANCE, RATED R] "I catch a lot of attention these days," she purred, her voice dripping with seductive allure as she toyed with Cedric's expectations. "But you haven't quite managed to capture mine yet," she teased, her tone coy yet tantalizing. Cedric's expression darkened slightly, a predatory gleam in his eyes as he stepped closer to Lilith, the air charged with electricity between them. "I always get what I want, when I want," he growled softly, his voice low and commanding as he locked eyes with her. ~ In the heart of the male-dominated underworld, Lilith emerges as a formidable force, crowned as the sole queen among her four brothers. It's a destiny written before her birth, a path she must walk to uphold her family's legacy. Tasked by her oldest brother, Lucifer, with using her feminine charm to navigate the treacherous world of organized crime, Lilith finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue, unaware of the intricate game Lucifer is playing.

As Lilith embraces her role, her journey collides with Cedric, an ambitious underworld king ruling the streets of New York. Cedric is determined to make Lilith his queen, regardless of the consequences. Their meeting ignites a fierce clash of wills and desires, propelling them into a whirlwind adventure through the dangerous streets of Sin City and New York. Bound by duty to fulfill her family's legacy by producing an heir, and Cedric's need for a queen to reign over New York, their attraction becomes undeniable. Yet, they must navigate the complexities of their forbidden love, determined to find a way to make it work against all odds, even as the powers of hell itself watch their every move.
