Arte, a young woman devastated by the loss of her beloved father, grapples with profound grief and overwhelming isolation. With no remaining family, she begins to navigate the depths of her sorrow, only to have her life take an unexpected turn. A mysterious and unfamiliar figure emerges-an enigmatic distant uncle cloaked in secrecy. 

Uncertain of her uncle's true intentions, Arte finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue and uncertainty. Will he prove to be a caring guardian, genuinely concerned for her well-being and future? Or does he conceal ulterior motives, exploiting her vulnerability to gain wealth and status among the elite? 

As Arte forges her own path amidst the turmoil, her world undergoes remarkable transformations. Yet, she must overcome the haunting memories of traumatic events-abduction, assault-and refuse to succumb to the role of a helpless captive. Defying expectations thrust upon her, she embraces her strength and resilience. 

Amidst the chaos, Arte discovers the enduring power of love. Encountering individuals who cherish her for her authentic self, she learns to trust again and finds solace in genuine connections. However, the path to true love is riddled with challenges, and Arte must confront her own insecurities and past traumas to fully embrace the possibility of a lasting and profound romance reminiscent of her parents' love. 

Arte's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, proving that even in the face of despair, one can find strength and purpose. 

In the end, Arte emerges as a force to be reckoned with-a woman unyielding in her pursuit of freedom, happiness, and self-determination. Her story serves as a powerful reminder that our destinies are shaped not by the circumstances thrust upon us, but by the choices we make and the strength we find within ourselves.

The Silent Sister by Orphic_bae
33 parts Ongoing Mature
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.

--- In a city where desires are currency and power is the ultimate game, she's a master of both. **"The Price of Desire"** is a scorching tale of control, seduction, and the art of dominance. With every step she takes, she exudes power, beauty, and a danger that makes the men around her tremble. She's not here to play nice-she's here to own everything and everyone in her path. Every glance she gives is a challenge. Every word she speaks is a command. And every kiss, every touch, is a promise of ecstasy wrapped in torment. She knows the rules, but she's never afraid to break them. In the world she's built, pleasure and pain aren't opposites-they're intertwined. When he steps into her world, a man as ruthless as she is, their collision sparks a fire that could consume them both. But there's no room for weakness. In the darkness of their desires, they're locked in a battle for control. Who will bend? Who will break? The air between them crackles with tension, and every word is thick with meaning, loaded with temptation. **"I don't play for keeps," she whispers, her fingers trailing over his skin. "I take what I want, when I want. And tonight, that's you."** He smirks, leaning in closer, his breath hot against her ear. **"Then take me,"** he dares. **"But don't forget-*I'm not easy to keep.*"** Their passion burns hot, blurring the lines between lust and obsession, as their bodies and wills collide in a struggle for dominance. It's a dangerous game, but one they're both eager to play-an one where the stakes are higher than they ever imagined. This is no fairy tale. There are no rules. No limits. Just two forces of nature, locked in an intoxicating dance of power, passion, and unrelenting desire. And once you enter this world, there's no turning back

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship. The characters' dynamics involve intense emotional manipulation, power struggles, and actions that may be triggering to some readers. Please be advised that this story delves into themes that are explicit, emotionally charged, and may not be suitable for all audiences. Proceed with caution. "Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?

Brave Enough To Love Again  by CalliopeBlythe
80 parts Complete
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"
