*IN EDITING!*

They're both polar opposites.

Adrian is a heartless & cold-blooded killer who has no mercy for anyone, and says that she's incapable of loving another person; meanwhile, Linden is a depressed, hurting, and lonely girl who's in an arranged marriage with a monster.

When they cross paths, they both have one rule that the other has no knowledge of: Strictly no falling for eachother. This rule is extremely easy to follow at first, but over time, as they start to rub off on eachother, avoiding violating this rule becomes harder and harder with each passing day. Who will be the first to violate the rule?

"Have you ever heard of nyctophilia?" I slowly shook my head no as my bottom lip quivered. He stopped to look at me, and smiled that breathtaking smile of his before he went back to walking. "Well, Nyctophilia is the word used to describe the love of darkness or night" He paused again but this time stopped right in front of me. I kept my head down as my heart pounded out of my chest. "A nyctophile would be the term used to describe someone with nyctophilia." He then brought his hand to my chin and tilted my head up so I was looking him in his eyes. Those beautiful golden eyes. "You, my darling, are a nyctophile." He smirked then added, "And I am the darkness you find comfort in." ⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓ Celeste Banks was as sweet as candy and as pure as cotton.

Amid the Embers by Lucid_Dreams29
16 parts Ongoing Mature
Amid the Embers may look like your typical post-apocalyptic story. It's not. Yes, it starts with the Noxborne Virus. Yes, the world falls apart, fast. But this isn't about scavenging for canned beans or dodging zombies in alleyways. This is about what comes after, the slow, intimate rot of systems, memories, and mercy. It begins with Lily, a CNA in a Chicago hospital, witnessing the final moments of Patient Zero. From there, the story fractures into multiple points of view: survivors, manipulators, believers, and the broken children caught in between. A rising cult twists faith into control. Trauma rewrites love, loyalty, and identity. Each chapter ends with a bonus scene, hidden thoughts and memories, alternate angles, haunted echoes that refuse to stay buried. This trilogy blends psychological horror with emotional realism. Every laugh hides a wound. Every wound starts a story. Amid the Embers is not about saving the world. It's about surviving the memory of it and what it turns you into. ─────────────── **⚠️ Trigger Warning: ⚠️ ** This book contains graphic depictions of: -Child abuse (emotional, physical, and implied sexual exploitation) -Physical torture -Sexual assault -Mentions of child brides - Domestic violence and coercive control -Religious extremism and cult-like behavior -Graphic psychological horror -Substance abuse -Miscarriages -Homophobia and internalized shame -Death and grief -Mentions of suicidal ideation (non-graphic) -Gaslighting and manipulation Reader discretion is strongly advised. ─────────────────

In Lilah's words - "I love you for many things. But I never told you that, and now I guess, I never will. Unless I can find some way to reach you. Some way to get a message in a bottle to arrive at the edge of your ocean. Is this what this story is? One long love letter to you? Because everything we know about each other, was contained in that room. I thought we'd always be there. I never thought about how I'd find you if ever you were to leave. Or, if ever, I were to have to run." For information on the book City Of Need, please contact me via instagram @a.girl.called.violet NEED TO KNOW!

The Luna and Her Moon by kerfuffled_
44 parts Complete
At just eighteen, Anna Kilmer finds herself trapped in a continuous loop of forced prostitution and abusive treatment, unaware of how to get out. That is, until she decides to escape, oblivious to the fact she would run into the arms of another man who scares her like the rest. However, the funny part about Xavier West isn't that Anna is afraid of him because he's abusive; in fact, she's afraid because he's the first man to treat her with the respect she deserves. Unfortunately her struggles aren't over yet; she must integrate into Xavier's society of werewolves, pushing aside the remnants of her dark past to look forward to the future. The only problem is, her role as a Luna might become her breaking point; she may not be able to live the life she's always dreamed of living. "The Luna and Her Moon is a Werewolf Romance that follows a main character who has experienced sexual trauma in her history and is learning to love and live for herself. kerfuffled_ has written a story that does not gloss over the traumas that the character has experienced, and shows that people continue to live with these traumas whether they want them to stay in the past or not. If you're a fan of romance and shape-shifting canines, this slow-burn romance has tender and goofy moments that will keep you rooting for the couple." - @latchkeyy **COMPLETED** - Awards/Accomplishments - ~ 1st place in the Cerulean Awards ~ 3rd place in the Privus Awards ~ Best Opening Chapter in the Rainbow Awards ~ Featured on YA Fantasy ~ #1 in hurt ~ #1 in damaged ~ #1 in matebond ~ #1 in humantrafficking ~ #1 in trauma ~ #1 in saving ~ #1 in abusive contents ~ #2 in love **** WARNING: This book does contain rape/sexual content to some extent as well as violence.

He is alright with living his life with this cold facade, having fully prepared himself for dying alone and friendless.

Unfortunately, all that changes when he is forced into a marriage with a lord's daughter, and his long lost brother suddenly resurfaces. As deeply buried emotions start to tug at his heart, how long can he keep up his 'facade'?
