But when the man responsible for her brother's mysterious death walks free, she infiltrates his world to destroy him from the inside. Her plan is meticulous - until she's captured by the very man she came to kill. Alexander Rothwell, head of one of England's most feared crime syndicates, is not the brute she imagined.

In their verbal duels and dangerous encounters, hatred turns to obsession, and the lines between enemy and lover blur into something intoxicating. To destroy him, she must resist him. To survive him, she may have to love him. In the glittering halls of London's elite, where champagne flows like blood and loyalty is bought with fear, Camilla learns that the most dangerous man in the city might just be the only one who truly sees her.Concluída
DO YOU REALLY HATE EACH OTHER? (MXMXM)
Theodore Vales 🌸 Do you really hate each other? Because I don't think you do. I've seen hatred before. It is clean. Sharp. Cold. What you two have is anything but. It is fire, restless and consuming. It is tension so thick the air trembles when you walk into the same room. It is silence heavy with everything unsaid, every word buried because neither of you knows how to bleed without drawing blood. And yet-when you reach for me, both of you, your hands brush too close. Your eyes flicker not just to me but to each other, even if only for a second. You think I don't notice, but I do. I notice the longing beneath the fury, the way your anger is only the shadow of something deeper. You both want me. And I-I want you both. But maybe it was never only about me. Maybe it has always been about 'us'. Three. A number most would call too much. Too messy. Too impossible. And yet, in the way you breathe, in the way you break, in the way you burn-I see it. Three is the only way this story could ever be told. So I'll ask again. Do you really hate each other? Or is hate just another word for everything you're too afraid to confess? A story of rivals, longing, and the kind of love that breaks all rules. 🌸🌸🌸☁☁☁🌸🌸🌸 ⚠️ Viewer's Discretion is Advised ⚠️ This story contains mature themes and is intended for adult audiences.

London's Shadow
There were detectives, and then there was Clary- A name passed in pubs like contraband, whispered between crooked lips and desperate hands. A phantom. A shadow. "The one who always solves it." No badge. No official record. Just results, and smoke. Zach Weller, 19, reporter for the Inkridden Tribune, thought "that's the story." That shadow. That rumor. Find Clary, write the truth, get his name on the front page, the real front page -not book reviews or school award listings. He needed this. His father, a desk-bound ex-cop, called him foolish for chasing myths. But Zach had always trusted the trail, and Clary left just enough breadcrumbs. In foggy 1950s London Clary is a shadow, an enigma, a riddle wrapped in a sarcastic comment. And Clary isn't even HER real name.

A Study In Crimson
In a city of fog and secrets, some minds are more dangerous than the plots they unravel Gravenhollow is a city where shadows hide more than thieves and liars - they conceal horrors that defy reason. When Doctor John Watson returns home, he's drawn into the orbit of Alistair Thorne: a brilliant, unnervingly precise detective whose intellect borders on the inhuman. Together they confront impossible crimes, alchemical conspiracies, and a hidden underworld steeped in magic and madness. But as they delve deeper, Watson begins to suspect that the darkest mystery of all may be Thorne himself. A Victorian gothic mystery set in a fantasy world of alchemy, arcane science, and shadows. Inspired by Sherlock Holmes. Author's Note: A Study in Crimson is the first entry in The Thorne Case Files - a series of short prequel stories following Alistair Thorne, a Sherlockian detective of peculiar origin, and his companion Dr. John Watson. Originally conceived as a D&D character, Thorne's story reimagines the classic detective archetype through the lens of Victorian gothic fantasy, where alchemy replaces science, and reason grapples with the arcane. New chapters will be posted as they're completed. Reader theories and insights are always welcome
