What does it take to change the course of a person's life? One small, seemingly trivial decision.
For Jacob, it was when he decided to play a game of poker in a new city he was supposed to call home for the next few years. But he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
For Ace, it was when he drove to a different city in the middle of the night to collect an employee from a police station. A man he believed he's never even met but whose eyes had already imprinted on him a few nights prior.
Two people, brought together by simple decisions that rippled and entwined them. Two decisions that landed them as indispensable pieces in a wild game of chess against each other.
One night. One game.
One web of deception that led to a series of life-changing lethal events.
One goal: to protect their king.

❝Maybe it's not just life that is like a chess game. Maybe love is too. Like how the king is always afraid losing his queen, and how the queen does everything in her power to save her king.❞ - Think of life as a chess game. There are the Kings and the Queens ; who serve as the rightful leaders. There are the Knights and the Bishops ; the hunters and the wise. And then there's Rayne Parker, a valuable pawn playing a game of live or die, being at the same time in no control of his own life. Being a pawn means not being in charge, means following the rules and obeying the moves of the 'player'. That was the ISAA. They were the 'players' in this injustice game of chess. They controlled Rayne's every move. If he made a bad move, someone else would suffer as a consequence of his actions. And he hated every second of being the cause of someone's death. In order to save himself, he would have to make a right move. The divine move that would allow him to checkmate ISAA and win. [completed ✓ || in the state of editing✗]Complete

Est grieves the death of his partner, finding quiet in self-harm until he meets Hong-owner of an underground BDSM club who teaches him that pain and pleasure are two sides of the same coin. But when Est sees something he shouldn't, he falls into the hands of William- leader of a mafia sect and a broken sadist whose cracks leave space only for him. By night, Hong rules The Citadel- an underground bdsm club. By day, he hides behind the badge of a cop, protecting the club's ties to the mafia. However, his world falls apart when Nut, a new detective investigating drug-related deaths, receives an anonymous tip with five names- one that hits too close to Hong. Now, he must cover his tracks while falling for the very same man sent to bring him down. In the wake of grief, lust, and secrets, the four men's lives collide. And what follows is a storm of romance, lies, betrayal, and chaos- where love cuts as deep as violence, and no one leaves untouched. __________________________ This work is inspired by The Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz- one of my all-time favorites.

These Vengeful vows
They were promised to each other before they could even speak. Heir to an empire. Daughter of a legacy. Bound by a deal neither of them asked for. She's learned to live with the panic that shadows her nights, the anxiety that claws at her chest when the world becomes too much. He's learned to bury the ghosts of his past under power, wealth, and a name that opens every door. But the marriage contract changes everything. One bed. One future. No escape. And just when they begin to see beyond the walls they've built around themselves, a message arrives: I know who killed your mother. The sender? A man the groom once called brother. Someone who lost eight years of his life while he walked free. Someone who wants revenge, not just on him, but on the family that destroyed everything. Lies will surface. Loyalties will shatter. And in the middle of it all, two broken souls will have to decide if they can trust each other... or if love is just another trap waiting to break them.

My Stolen Identity (Complete)
I never thought something like this would ever happen to me, because things like this only happened on TV, not in real life and especially not to me. Unfortunately I was wrong. Someone stole my identity. They took pictures from my Facebook account and created a fake online profile to catfish men and scam them out of a lot of money, and now I was being sued for $45,000. That's why I teamed up with Knox Hendrix, a ridiculously hot cyber detective who pledged to help me track down this catfish and put a stop to what she was doing. I tried to stay focused on the case, but the more time I spent with Knox the more complicated things became between us and our growing friendship, because I wanted more. Over time I found out that there was a lot more to Knox than I originally thought and he had a dark past and wounds that needed time to heal, but I knew I could help him with that if he would only stop trying to be the tough cop and open up and let someone in. I wanted to help him but I didn't know if I could ever be satisfied with just being his friend when I wanted so much more. I soon discovered that finding the catfish and solving the case would put my life and Knox's in danger and sometimes there are cases that are better left unsolved.Complete
BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete
