She's transparent and a crystalline. Living in the island of Fire, Angel Faith Templa wants nothing but a facile life and to live the best of her life to the fullest with the person she treasured the most. Everything were so perfect... almost perfect, until Atty. Hugo Villariguez came into the picture. She just found herself burning in anger for him. Oh why, that good-for- nothing man was a bozo! And he upended her serene and peaceful existence.
Her anger for him was igniting, yet what burned more was the feelings he incited in her. A feeling that is warmth and fiery. A warmth that she didn't find and feel at the island of fire she stepped on. That everytime she met his gaze, she's powerless to cease that foreign exotic feeling burn and arise in herself. As if his mid- night dark pair of eyes were an alluring and seductive rose that captured her soul. FIERY AND BOLD. And little did they know, they're unaware that they were heading something far from the shallow. Something WARMTH, DANGEROUS, yet ENCHANTING.

cover by @summerafterglow 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 It's so much easier to spread lies about people than it is to spread the truth. That's what Gabriel knows to be true, at least. According to everyone in his town, he's a monster. He doesn't deserve to be walking among the rest of them. That's far from the truth, though. He was never good at being alone, but it became something he was used to. After everything he'd gone through, he craved solitude. Until she showed up.

My Lill Vixen(Part 1 Of D Angelo's Series)
She lives in a delusional world-reading books and waiting for a man like Zade Meadows or Rhys Larsen to rescue her from the demons of her past. A prickly wall guards her once-wounded heart. She doesn't believe in love-or maybe she just doesn't believe in real-life love anymore. Smart. Sassy. Fearless. She'd rather die than be controlled. They call her feisty, but no one knows what lies beneath that venomous fire... except him. He's ruled demons since childhood-who knew he could overrule hers too? Born into power, he commands empires: companies, hotels, clubs, restaurants... and an illegal empire that stretches far beyond. The ruler of The Great Vipera Empire, he didn't just inherit his throne-he built it higher Their paths cross through an arranged agreement Not a contract. Not a cliché Something far greater. Who knew she'd find a new version of herself-and his hand waiting when she finally rewrites the meaning of home. Fair warning-this story drips with spice, tension, and slow-burn chaos. You've been warned. No instant fireworks , just a flame that builds until it's unstoppable🔥 A slowburn romance worth your time - give it a chance, dear readers. From one book lover to another. ~ "Stop smacking my chest, cara mia, or I swear I'll drop you right here." I nod toward the stairs, jaw tight. She giggles - soft, reckless, addictive. Those damn giggles... my oxygen. "Then I'll hold your collar and drag you down with me," she fires back, eyes daring me to move. I lean in, my breath brushing her ear. "Hmm, I've got better plans for you grabbing me by the collar, bella." Her eyes flicker - surprise, heat - before she smirks. "Sure, honey. Be good, and I might give you a treat." Her hand slips into my hair, tugging just enough to test me. I narrow my eyes, a low chuckle rumbling in my chest. "Oh, so that's how it is? You just turned my fantasy into a pet-owner game." Smart girl. I grin. Real smaComplete

Elizabeth
Some things are never meant to happen the way that they happen. Some things are not supposed to break the way they break, but we are not in charge of this earth. We cannot oversee how things are fixed and how they break. We are only capable of putting the pieces back together...mending broken hearts and healing empty souls. Why him? They ask her constantly. Why the heartless man to comfort the hurting soul? Because, she always responds, even after countless mood swings, crazy demands, constant reassurance, and stupid arguments, he never gave up on her. Why her? They would ask her every time. He'd respond the same. Because I don't want to court her in bed. I want to love her in life. Polar opposites attract. Elizabeth and Romeo attract. They just want to love each other in life through the pain, the agony, the abuse, the depression, the anxiety, the mafia, the breaking, the fixing, the helping, the hurting. It's just love at the end of the day.Complete

Diamond Heart 💎
------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble. So he moves forward with his future, making sure that no woman is unclear about his intentions about love, or carries any hopes of marriage and happily ever after..that is not in his destiny.
