Evelyn Sable liked order, she craved it. And, for all intents and purposes, she was good at maintaining it. At least, that was what she thought.
When Tristan Montgomery first walked through the library doors, she hadn't known that he wouldn't just be walking into the library, but into her life. What she really didn't know that with his presence, he would steal any semblance of order she had. What she last expected, though, was that while stealing her order... he'd end up stealing her heart.

She cleared her throat. "How about we settle on not today?"
"Hmm?" he murmured, looking into her hazel eyes, which she hoped appeared as earnest as she felt in that moment.
"Sometimes, you're just not ready to be open about something personal, and that's okay. So, instead, tell me someday, just not today," she said.
"Not Today?" he said as if testing the words, before a smile settled upon his face. "I like that."

The Alpha's Softest Sin
"If she dares to run, she'll learn that mercy from me is sharper than cruelty." Tristan's POV She is the fire in my veins, the only ache I cannot kill. One breath from her and I am undone-beast and man both caged by her nearness. "Her nearness poisons me, yet I would drink her a thousand times over." "You don't see it yet, little flame... but your heart is already mine. If love does not bind you to me, chains will. If tenderness fails, I will wield obsession like a blade until you bleed only for me. The world may kneel or burn, I don't care- because you are the only sin I'll never repent, the only war I was born to win." "I would tear out my own soul, if she asked-yet cage hers if she runs." By Tulip
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?

Playing His Games
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as he stared across the table at me. I could seriously drown in his eyes. He was intoxicatingly attractive and he had to know it. That's why he was acting strange around me. For some reason, he looked at me as if I was the only one there with him. As if nobody else were here. And his voice... it pained me. It actually pained me with how utterly seductive and husky it always sounded. And the way he smelled all the time. I don't know why he smelled so strong, but I didn't mind. He smelled like evergreens and a hint of mint. It sounds like a bad combo, but it dizzied me with how lost I got in it. The thought of not being able to control myself, my thoughts and feelings and body when I'm around him, infuriated me. I was so good at holding myself together now, and he just unraveled me so easily, leaving me a mess. I wasn't the slightest bit afraid of him, and I had no idea why either. Just being in the same room, I felt like I didn't have to look over my shoulder. I didn't have to worry. I didn't even know who he was, and he still drew me in. "So, you were in California before? Why did you move?" Grace Hatfield asked, looking at him. She is our school's college and career advisor. She took me in and adopted me a couple years ago. She even gave me her last name. A saving grace. Why had she invited him here? Why did he come? He turned to her with a smile and a shrug. "Guess I just hadn't found what I was looking for yet." Something about the way he said it, sent a shiver down my spine. Why did I feel like there was so much more meaning behind his words than he was letting on? "Well, I hope you find what you're looking for." Grace said, and he turned to me with a devilish smirk and a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Something tells me that I will."Tamamlanmış Hikaye
The Softest Parts of Me (Book 1)
Leo is quiet, careful, and always watching the exits. Maddie is loud, steady, and impossible to ignore. Their connection isn't instant-but it's real. And when life starts to unravel, it's Maddie who stays. Even when Leo pushes her away. Especially then. This is a story about falling in love for the first time when your heart is still learning how to beat. About finding safety in someone else's hands... and daring to believe you deserve it. Story Snippet: ---- Then her voice floated out, light and casual: "Leo?" He looked up. The door cracked open a little, steam curling out, and Maddie peeked through-cheeks flushed from the heat, water dripping from the ends of her hair and trailing down the slope of her collarbone. She wasn't holding a towel. She wasn't really holding anything. Just leaned in the doorway, chin tilted up, the corner of her lip quirked slightly. "Can you grab my towel?" she asked, almost too casually. "I left it on the bed." His heart stuttered. "Uh-yeah. Yeah, of course." He scrambled up. "And my clothes? The ones I left out." Her voice lowered just a little, almost teasing. "Also... do you have a zip-up I can borrow?" He found himself nodding before he could think, already pulling the folded towel into his hands, then her clothes-still neatly laid out like she'd planned it. He grabbed her skincare pouch from the nightstand too. Last thing she'd want was to forget that. Then he paused at his duffel, rifling through until he found one of his hoodies. The grey one. Oversized. Definitely too big on her, which suddenly made his brain short-circuit even more. He knocked lightly on the doorframe. "Got everything." "Come in a little," she murmured from behind the door, cracking it open just an inch more. "Just... don't look." ---- - Content Warnings: emotional abuse, coercion, trauma recovery, PTSD, healing after SA - 70,000-210,00 words in total - BOOK 2 IS CONFIRMED!!!!!

Mine, all Mine (Book 1) (Mature 18+)
Seven years ago, Tristan Knight walked away from the love of his life, Serenity Harris, without a word or a backwards glance. No goodbye. No Dear John letter. No words of apologies or excuses. She'd woken up one morning to an empty bed, her body sore; her hair wild and unkempt from their tempestuous love-making the night before. That night had been the first time Tristan told her he loved her. Their courtship had started fast. It took four hours for him to get her into bed and take her virginity and one night for her to fall head over heels in love with him. The year leading up to their final night together had been full of twists and turns, ups and downs. But she'd thought they had finally gotten to a place where they full understood and valued one another. So what happened? Why did he leave? And why had he come back today of all days? Her wedding day. To his former best friend and band mate, Nyle Wentworth. Nyle has been there for Serenity ever since Tristan left her heart in irrepairable pieces. Nyle loved her back to life and in spite of her love for Tristan, she found herself drawn to him. Now they're about to get married. Nyle won Serenity fair and square and he doesn't feel bad about actively pursuing her, falling in love with her, marrying her, or spending the rest of his life with her. He and Tristan were friends but that's all in the past. And that's where he intends to keep it. All Serenity wants to do is to marry Nyle, be happy, and go on with her life but the reappearance of the love of her life is making that more than difficult. Tristan is back, he wants what's his, and he doesn't care who he has to destroy or kill to have it. Now that Tristan's back, Serenity finds herself torn between what her heart wants and who her head knows is the better choice. **For mature audiences only (18+)Tamamlanmış Hikaye
When Demons Are Redeemed: The Dominant's Muse
When Tristan and Catherine meet, he immediately possesses her body, soon wants her mind, but has no interest in her heart. Nor his. While he happily feeds a darkness within him, she nervously runs from a past that predates her birth. Love, nice and stable are not even on the radar . . . **************** Catherine physically escapes her dark past only to realize that the running in her mind, however, has not ended, and that, in order to cope with this continued racing away from a past that she refuses to recall, and from another that she could never fathom to be her own, strong emotions must never possess her. Remaining "even" must therefore be her normalcy. Even. In order that she not emotionally swing from one extreme to another, and then catastrophically lose all of herself with the momentum. Even. Because she believes that people suffer bad luck, or even die, when she is not. When her self-imposed limited existence is nevertheless breached by Tristan, he owns no white horse, although he is seen upon one professionally, and he behaves in no way with chivalry, although he does own a suit of it for show. He, however, uses neither with her. He possesses her. He immediately sets new rules for her in his world, harsh ones, and she has no choice but to obey them. Him. Soon enough, however, what begins to matter most is that she no longer runs alone, even if now being chased by their blend of demons. What begins to matter even more is that he may know where the finish line is, and be strong enough to guide them there, eventually, with her as his muse, as his reason to want to reach it. (P.S. Tristan first appears in chapter Four . . . )Tamamlanmış Hikaye
