Ember Starden is the 11th successor in the long and prosperous Starden line of entrepreneurs, philanthropists, politicians, world-famous entertainers, and (shh... it's a secret) assassins. She's been through rigorous training, and she's been learning the art of weapons ever since she took her first steps. 
  
  Gage McWillson was employed by the MI6 Agency shortly after he completed his studies at University of Cambridge. He can speak 7 languages fluently, and carries himself with the consummate ease of a man who thinks he has experienced the worst that life and death have to offer.
  
  Things changed for our beloved characters after one fateful night three years ago. Neither had a knowledge of just how closely fate had tied them together, and neither had any plans to do anything about it. So why now? Was it truly fate that tied them together, or was it just a person? Can they see ahead of what they have become and reach into the past to secure the future?

The Billionaire's Hidden Wife For three years, Lucinda Alvarez has been legally married to Connor Montgomery, the cold and arrogant billionaire who never once cared to meet her. Their marriage was nothing more than a contract forced by Connor's grandfather-until Connor returns from abroad, demanding a divorce. But fate plays a cruel trick. On the night of his arrival, Connor mistakenly enters the wrong hotel room, unknowingly spending the night with his own wife-Lucinda. The next morning, he dismisses her as just another woman, offering her money to disappear. Humiliated and Frustrated, Lucinda leaves without revealing her identity. Determined to keep her pride, Lucinda reinvents herself as Lucy, a confident and cunning businesswoman. When she crosses paths with Connor again in the corporate world, he underestimates her, believing she's just another woman chasing his wealth. That is, until Lucy outsmarts him in a high-stakes deal-leaving him intrigued and drawn to her. What follows is a dangerous game of deception, passion, and revenge. As Connor relentlessly pursues Lucy, unaware that she's the same woman he's divorcing, Lucinda fights to protect her heart. But when she discovers she's pregnant with Connor's child, a devastating misunderstanding leads to tragedy-one that forces the truth to come crashing down. When Connor finally learns that Lucy and Lucinda are the same woman-and that the child he ignored was his own-will it be too late for him to right his wrongs? Or will Lucinda finally walk away, taking his heart with her? A thrilling romance filled with secrets, passion, and heartbreak, The Billionaire's Hidden Wife is a gripping tale of love found, lost, and desperately fought for. ****** #1 ForbiddenLove (4/8/2025) #1 Revenge (4/13/2025)

The Scarlet Ruins ni _elysianyxx_
12 parte Ongoing Mature
Scarlet was chaos, ruins were the cost. Some wars are fought with bullets. Theirs is fought with kisses, chaos, and scars. When enemies reunite in a champagne-soaked ballroom, one stolen glance is all it takes to ignite years of buried rage, regret-and heat. She wanted to escape. He wanted a second chance. Neither expected the chaos that would follow. Ember Quinn isn't just the mastermind behind Aliferous, the elite custom-jewellery brand-she's fire wrapped in silk. Ruthlessly ambitious, emotionally armoured, and scarred by memories that never die, she's built her world on silence, success, and survival. And no, she doesn't need anyone-especially not him. Xavier Costa was the boy who stole her spotlight and the man who never really left her mind. All arrogance and edge, he's the storm that always knew how to unravel her calm. But this time, he's not just here to torment-he's the new contract. The one she can't ignore. What began as rivalry has returned as reckoning. The battlefield? A business deal neither can escape. And the weapons? Smirks, secrets, and a touch that still burns. He's not letting her go. She's not letting him win. But somewhere between hatred and hunger... they forget the difference.

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. When a Dark Horse meets a siren, surrender might be the only way to survive being drowned. Because love isn't their biggest risk... obsession is. This story is about two broken souls, bound by trauma and nightmares and how they find common ground in one thing... each other. Despite their denial-Bella and Brandon must choose: let the other in... or die trying to escape. This is a haunting, slow-burn dark romance with a psychological thriller edge. 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. (18+ guys! Read at your own risk) •All rights and words/ideas/characters belong to me, the author. Please respect this and do not plagiarize.

**Unedited** "She can't come to the phone right now. I'll be happy to take a message for you." My blood runs cold. "Where is she? What have you done to her?" He doesn't say anything and I don't hear her. I start to panic. "Nothing, yet." "If you touch her-" "What Luke?!" He cuts me off. I bite my lip and pass my hand through my hair. "What could you possibly do to me that you haven't already done?!" My eyes starts to water. This lunatic would hurt her and I knew he would. "I beg you," I tell him. "I'll do anything you want.
