The city skyline faded into the background.
"Let me go!" Elena struggled, kicking his shin.
Ryan's grip tightened. "You're not going anywhere."
A vase shattered on his head.
Ryan's eyes widened, stunned.
"You shouldn't have done that," he growled.
Elena's heart raced as she frantically turned the door handle.
Locked.
Ryan's hands closed in, spinning her around.
"You're making this harder than it needs to be."
Elena shuddered.

Love at first Hate | ✔️
Ross stepped a step closer to me from across the room, confusion never leaving his eyes. "Are you hiding from someone ?" I bit my lip. The next door Alec would open, would definitely be this one. I was playing out all kind of escape plans in my head but the only possible one I came up with was this idea. I can always change my name and move to another country, right ? What about Mexico ? "Laura ?" I quickly walked up to Ross, "I'm sorry in advance." "What do you mean, I-", he couldn't even finish his sentence when I suddenly pulled him towards me, walking backwards till my back hit the wall. I saw his eyes widen a little, "Laura, wait, are you drunk again ? What the hell are you doing ? I-", in that very moment the door opened and I grabbed Ross by his shirt and pulled him towards me, making our lips meet. {C O M P L E T E D} ©selftice | idea, story & cover. ⊱⊰ #1 in #lauramarano (03/07/20) #1 in #auslly (17/02/21)Complete

BOUND BY DESIRE
Elena Carter never planned on falling for a man nearly twice her age. At twenty-five, she was determined to focus on her career, rebuild her confidence after heartbreak, and prove herself in a world that often underestimated her. Then she met Michael Hayes-a powerful, magnetic CEO with steel-blue eyes and a guarded heart. Michael had long since sworn off love. At forty-two, scarred by a painful divorce and hardened by years of ambition, he believed desire was fleeting and intimacy dangerous. But from the moment he locked eyes with Elena, something shifted. She wasn't just another young woman chasing his attention-she was different. Refreshing. Irresistible. What begins as stolen glances and forbidden temptation soon ignites into a passion neither can deny. But love this intense comes with risks: whispers of scandal, judgment from others, and their own deepest fears threatening to tear them apart. In a world where age, power, and reputation collide, Elena and Michael must decide if their connection is strong enough to withstand it all-or if their hearts will break under the weight of desire. From steamy intimacy to emotional devotion, Bound by Desire is a story of obsession, trust, and unstoppable hearts... where every touch, every kiss, and every whispered word leads them closer to forever.Complete
Prescription of Possession
"Victor?" she gasped, startled by the sudden force. "Release her!" her father barked, stepping forward. Victor's lips curled into a dark, chilling smile. "Don't come any closer," he said, his voice dripping with menace. His free hand slid to his waist, revealing a knife he pressed against Elena's side. "Unless you want to see her bleed." "Victor!" Elena's voice trembled, a mix of confusion and fear. His grip on her arm was painfully tight. "How easy it is to manipulate you," Victor sneered, pulling her even closer. "Do you know why I chose you, Elena? Because you're so easy to control. So easy to make dance on my fingertips." Her heart shattered at his words, her disbelief etched onto her face. "Victor... you're hurting me." "And I'll hurt you again if I have to," he hissed, his voice cold and void of the warmth it once held. "Did you really believe I changed? That I was capable of being anything more than what I am? I'm the mastermind, Elena. Manipulation is my art. And you? You're my perfect little puppet."

Protecting You ("The Shadows" Series: Book I)
"We are here with you." She said and hugged me with gentleness. My shoulder sagged in relief as I hugged her back. She broke the hug and caressed my hair. "You know her?" Ryan asked, confusion evident in his voice. Wow!!! He never showed his emotion in public. Maybe his family being here made him act like a normal guy!! "Yes. I gave her photo to you after your meeting yesterday." His father said as he came by my side and patted my back. I gave him a small smile. I had never met him and his wife before, but the closeness between him and and my father was evident by the way his forehead held creases and by the tension all over his face. Still he was making me feel like a daughter to him. "Which photo?" He asked and suddenly the realization crossed his eyes. "Is she-" "The one you will be marrying Ryan. She is your soon-to-be wife." His father declared as he looked at me with shock. "Did you know that?" He said, his face void of any emotion. I nodded while looking anywhere but him. He cursed under his breath and his mother was about to scold him for that when he looked at me in anger and frustration. I gulped. This is not good....this is so not good!!! ••• Can be read as a standalone. Highest ranking #1 in gangs #1 in partners #1 in theshadowsComplete
