Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters?

What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface.

Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions.

Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life.

This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. 

If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny.

If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.

"Maeve, baby, just give in." // His fingers slowly trace my jaw, while he pepper's kisses to my neck. I run my hands through his brown curly locks. "We can't, you know this. The girls are home an-" He was obviously displeased with what I was saying, so he cuts me off with a passionate kiss, his tongue forcing its way into mouth. "You didn't seem to care last time, what changed, baby?" He mumbles into my lips. "I really fucking hate you." I mumble against his lips. "I know." He mumbles back. ___________________ Maeve Preece - stripper, dancer, sinner. Call her what you want. She's heard it all before. Nights at Sapphire, one of New York City's most infamous strip clubs, blur together in a haze of neon lights, sweaty bills, and cheap perfume. Maeve dances, grinds, and sometimes serves drinks - anything to keep her head above water and her rent paid. Her life is built on survival, not dreams. Until Harry walks in. What started as obsession - the kind that borders on hate - turns into something far messier. One night together becomes two, then three, and so on, until Maeve realizes the one thing she swore would never happen has already begun: she's falling for him. But love doesn't come easy when it's tangled in lies and blood. Because Harry isn't just trouble - he is trouble.

In the ruins of a fractured world, defiance is a death sentence. Excelling in the fine arts of covert observation, she collects secrets and trades in betrayals. This data broker doesn't believe in fairness or morality. After all, that's the only way to survive - and thrive - in a limited human space, constantly besieged by strange fauna. She's spent a lifetime running from the powers that be and slipping through the cracks. However, a fateful misstep pulls this furtive shadow into the sights of a man set to inherit the hopeless war. His ascent to the throne is paved with the bodies of those who stood against him - and those who didn't. This capricious warlord intends to cut the trespasser's insolence out with a blade. Slowly and carefully - because death would be far too kind. He wants her taught a lesson. Disfigured. Broken. Owned. Yet she vanishes into the overcrowded streets. A hounded prey becomes an umbrage with a vendetta and wages a one-woman war on his reputation. From the darkness, she turns the rising officer's name and affairs into rot. She never lets him forget she's still out there. Watching. The nobleman handles it all without faltering. However, the manhunt gradually twists into a slow, burning obsession. The woman's daring, her rage fascinate him. Consume him. All grudging sentiments warp into respect... and something stronger. When enemies close in on all sides, he calls upon his shadow with an alluring promise of truce. Trust is a knife. And he hands it to her - willingly.

I began writing this at 15 and finished it at 17. It is my first novel, give me grace for that. [Warning: this book contains explicit content, crude language, drug use & abusive scenarios.] He tried everything, everything, everything to forget her. No matter how hard he fought, the memories wouldn't fade. She wasn't some dream girl, she was the dreamy one who taunted him. A blonde viper that shattered every part of him. But picking up the pieces? That's the part he never thought he'd get around to. Ace Valentino doesn't do what people expect-he's the guy who walks on the wild side just because he wants to. A brooding young man with a dark side fueled by brokenness, addiction, and bad decisions. His heart is still held hostage by his stoic, adrenaline-obsessed ex. How could he move on with that? It isn't plausible. So, he drowns the pain with alcohol and anything that numbs him. But Ace has secrets, ones he vowed to bury forever. Then, his new neighbor moves in and suddenly, something inside him stirs-something he's not ready for, and everything he's terrified of. Willow Andrews, sweet yet scarred, knows nothing but loneliness. Her guardian's abuse has built walls around her big heart. Love is a stranger to her, and she's afraid of what she doesn't understand. But something about Ace, the tortured soul next door, draws her in-despite the fear. In a world where love is something they can't quite reach, Ace and Willow collide. What could possibly come of this? Can they save each other, or will their pasts break them before they have a chance? The line between magic and misery is thinner than they think-and the change they both desperately need might just be the thing that destroys them, or... sets them free.

Complete-BUT still under editing/Polishing/and some revision towards the end. Bella moved to West Virginia to escape a monster. Brandon went to escape himself. She is fire wrapped in thorns. She's sharp, untouchable, and running from a past that refuses to die. He is leather and silence. He's scarred, and grounded, a boy who learned long ago to feel nothing at all. When their worlds collide, numbness is no longer an option. And control isn't in either of their hands. She makes him feel. He makes her breathe. The more they fight it, the more it consumes them. But what's worse is they're left to accept that some things are terrifyingly inevitable. Because love isn't their biggest risk... obsession is. To survive, Bella and Brandon must choose: let someone else in... or die trying. When a raven meets a dove, surrender might be the only way to survive. This is a haunting, slow-burn dark romance with a psychological thriller edge. Two broken souls bound trauma and nightmares find common ground in one thing-each other. Steamy. Sweet. Thrilling. Action-packed with plot twists and a love that doesn't just pull you in-but keeps you locked in. Intimate and emotional and definitely written for a mature audience. Book one of S.O.D is packed with just enough dark humor to keep you scrolling until 3 a.m. My fresh take on cliche dark romance. •All rights and words/ideas/characters belong to me, the author. Please respect this and do not plagiarize.

"You thought you could threaten her? That you could hurt her, violate her the way that you did and walk away alive?" His voice was filled with raw fury, each word like a blow. "Please," the Sower gasped, his eyes darting to the ghastly charred remains of his men. "I- We didn't mean-" Thane didn't let him finish. With a surge of heat, the flames flared from his body, engulfing the man in a swirling inferno. The Sower screamed, his cries echoing through the clearing as the fire consumed him, but it didn't end his life-not yet. Thane controlled the flames, letting them torture rather than kill, a terrifying display of his power and restraint. "Didn't mean to?" Thane echoed mockingly, leaning down so his face was inches from the Sower. His eyes burned with rage, dark and unrelenting. "You meant every word, every threat, every action. And now you'll burn for it." ******************** In a world torn by war, where men and women are divided into separate kingdoms, Fern, a healer and herbalist, sets out to end the decade-long conflict.

He was notorious and feared for slaughtering female warriors. Despite the hatred in his eyes, Fern makes the decision to heal him, forging a bond that neither expected. As their worlds collide, they must face the scars of their past. Can a single act of kindness heal old wounds, or will the weight of their history destroy them both?

She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.

Hello everyone.... So this is my first story content that I write. This story is totally based on fiction...in which have a lot of fantasy, mystery, romance and thriller...it's just an imagination. If you start reading, so you can't stop to yourself to know...what's the next? "This is the tale of a girl and a boy-two souls bound by destiny. She is a girl who carries endless warmth within her heart, a softness spun from dreams and devotion. Her love for him is fierce yet tender, an intensity that could melt even the coldest of hearts. She alone holds the power to turn his silence into song, his cruelty into care, and his heartlessness into a divine, love-soaked tenderness. For him, she is not just love-she is transformation itself. He, on the other hand, is a man carved from stone-ruthless, unfeeling, feared by the world. His heart knows no gentleness, no mercy, no emotion... except when it beats for her. For her, he burns with a passion that borders on obsession, a divine fire that consumes only in her presence. To the world he remains untouchable, cold and cruel, but before his little beloved, he softens, melts, and surrenders-becoming hers in the truest, most profound way." "Both of them had walked through tragedies so dark that their hearts were scarred forever. Yet, neither of them knew that life was about to change completely. From enemies, they would slowly turn into lovers-destined for each other. When together, they created a kind of magic that only true souls can make. They became each other's biggest support system, healing one another in ways no one else ever could. In every prayer, they carried each other's name, and with every heartbeat, they kept falling deeper into a divine and eternal love." I need your love and support. I am a little bit nervous but it's gives me an excitement also and some another level of happiness. Interesting twists on the way. WARNING:- This context may based on sexual harassment, drinking, smoking, and dark sences.
