Five years ago, the whole country knew Howl as the face of a national public safety initiative that encouraged kids to say no to drugs, keep away from firearms, and not talk to strangers. He had just made a dramatic exit from the corrupt pit of the Hot Type City Police Department and kicked off his own private investigative agency. He was geared up to start helping people for real.
Then some punk put Howl's nephew in the dirt, and everything came to a screeching halt.
Now, after a long downward spiral, Howl is one half-empty bottle of scotch away from complete destitution. His shot at redemption comes just in time when a former model struts off the page of a golden-age girlie mag and into his office. Her missing son's disappearance knocks Howl back into a world full of the drugs, guns, and predators he wasted his youth fighting.
This time it will be different. He's got nothing to lose but something to prove. This time, he will win.

Cold Ashes And Quiet Orchids
This is not a love story. It's a confession. An autopsy of what happens when two broken creatures-built to chase, lie, and survive-look at each other too long and forget who the enemy is. In the dying heat of a neon-soaked city, a polar bear assassin named Frosty lives behind layers of charm, precision, and silence. He blends in. He disappears. He eliminates. That's the job. That's all it's ever been. Until her. Kitty Blackthorne-snow leopard, investigator, and ghost-hunter in her own right-was never supposed to matter. Just another threat to outwit. Another file to keep a step ahead of. But she didn't chase him like a cop. She saw him like no one ever had. And that... was the first mistake. What follows isn't a cat-and-mouse game. It's a slow-burn war between instinct and vulnerability. Between loyalty and betrayal. Between who they were trained to be... and who they might become, if they dared. If you're looking for clean heroes, you won't find them here. Only scars. Only cold ashes and quiet orchidsCompleta
Butlers, Criminals, And Gangsters
(18+ Mature Content) The United States Government and the city of 1273 Rockefeller City established The Royal Department Of Special Civic Detective Agency (R.D.S.C.D.A.), whose director is Y/N L/N, who is laid-back and charming. It was established to capture heinous criminals, or Supervillains as they were later dubbed. These thieves, who were first just bank robbers, gradually transformed into dangerous beings with unique talents. Others did it to torment the poor youngster, others did it out of retaliation against Y/N, and some did it to pillage the wealthy. But some of them... had selfish, if not lustful, motives. Y/N began to adapt his mind to the special combat arts to fight off the criminals both day and night. However, Y/N may have not known that most of these criminals were beautiful animal-based female villains who grew a loving bone for him. At first, they hated him for ruining their little operation but slowly began to see Y/N as more than just a nuisance, they saw him as a man who knows how to give a woman a good time. To face the thieves day and night, Y/N started modifying his mind to unique martial skills. However, it is possible that Y/N was unaware that the majority of these offenders were stunning, animal-based female baddies who developed a soft spot for him. At first, they despised him for upsetting their small affairs, but over time, they came to regard Y/N as more than just a bother; they saw him as a man who knows how to make a lady happy.Completa
Vessels
Gold, a hardened hitman for the feared mafia organization known as The Hosts, lives a life defined by violence and obligation. When a routine assignment to retrieve a mysterious case leads him to a brutal scene-a young woman, Ivory, caged and beaten-his world is irrevocably altered. Driven by a past he desperately tries to suppress, Gold defies his orders and rescues her, inadvertently dragging them both into a perilous game of cat and mouse with dangerous forces. Ivory, a "horned siren" stripped of her voice and freedom, had endured unimaginable cruelty. As she slowly begins to heal in Gold's reluctant care, a fragile bond forms between them and becomes ever growing. But The Boss, Gold's enigmatic employer, will not tolerate insubordination, and the world they inhabit is far more complex and dangerous than either of them imagined. As their paths intertwine, Gold and Ivory are forced to confront their own demons and the dark truths of a society that exploits the vulnerable. Their desperate journey will challenge everything they thought they knew, leading them to a common goal: to stop the abhorrent use of unicorn essence in the world. For Gold, it's a fight for freedom from the chains of The Hosts; for Ivory, it's the chance to live peacefully as a being with unicorn essence, reclaiming her stolen life. Will they accomplish liberation, or will forces known and unknown keep them bound to the life that they know?
