In the shadows of her seemingly perfect life, Clarice, a talented graphic designer, yearns for something more than the pleasant facade she presents to the world. Bound by societal expectations and a promising but suffocating relationship, she seeks solace in the forbidden realms of dark romance novels. Little does she know that the arrival of her enigmatic new neighbor will unravel the delicate balance she's carefully maintained. Her new neighbor is mysterious, dark, and dangerous. Forbidden love consumes her and the whole planet seems against it. They're not destined to be, but there's no turning back from the world of injustice and sin Clarice is about to enter.

This is an 18+ semi-dark romance. 

Things will happen in this book and it gradually will get darker as the story progresses. Clarice will make morally grey decisions that might upset some. Please read the trigger warnings. It is a slow-burn romance, so don't expect quick relationship development.

Hour Of Darkness by AMS1971
30 parts Complete Mature
At age ten, Clarice Stuart is rescued from a potentially traumatizing experience by a mysterious stranger who seems to appear out of nowhere and then disappear just as suddenly. Fifteen years later, on a cold November night on an icy mountain highway as Clarice is on her way to her parents' home for the holidays, a black clad rider on a black motorcycle deliberately strands her on the highway. While Clarice waits for help to arrive, miles away her parents and brother are brutally murdered in their home. At the funeral, a man approaches her and offers his condolences, claiming to be a friend of her brother's. Clarice has a sense of recognition but can't place where she might know him from. As a precaution, three deputies are assigned to watch over Clarice until it can be determined whether or not her family was a target or simply victims of a random attack. Staying at her deceased brother's home, Clarice soon learns that even police protection can't save her from the evil that took her family. When her family's attacker appears and kills the three deputies who were meant to guard her, Clarice is certain she will die as violently as her parents and brother. But standing face to face with the killer, she is shocked to be staring into the face of her recently dead and buried brother. Before he can take her life as well, the black rider appears and saves her from the fate of her family. It is then that she realizes that the black rider is the man from the cemetery - and her guardian from the past. Suddenly she finds herself and her guardian in a deadly, terrifying game of cat and mouse with a killer who won't stay dead. NOTE: This is a complete story, so it won't be distracting me from my other works-in-progress :)

We've all heard the tales of good and bad, the tales of innocent deceit and her hero, the tales that despite their nature, show us the beauty in contrast. But it's the tales of pure evil that get swept under the rug. The tales of deception, where cruelty is rewarded. The tales that have you questioning who the real villain of the story is. There's a simple philosophy to most thing in life; two wrongs 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 make a right. So what ensues when you put two of the worst kinds of people together? Loyalties transfer, lines blur, and hatred ignites complete chaos. She's cunning. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. She's dangerous. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. She's evil. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. Or so that's what we're told.

Book 1 in the #VillainLove Series He hates how much he wants her....she hates how good it feels to belong to him. *Reyansh Singhania - A figure of contradiction. An enigma wrapped in a mystery. With the name meaning "ray of light," his behavior is quite the opposite. He is a man of power and influence, a ruthless mafia king who holds the strings of the country's government in the palm of his hand, a man who moves in the shadows, shrouded in secrecy and danger. His presence is felt throughout the land, his face a mystery to all but those closest to him. He is the epitome of ruthlessness, his reputation for heartless brutality and merciless killing well-known to all who dare to cross his path. Yet, despite his fearsome reputation, Reyansh is also a man of great wealth and power. *Amaira Malhotra - (The one who will be beautiful forever) is a vision of ethereal beauty, a woman whose looks are so striking that they seem almost unreal. Her face is a masterpiece, with delicate features and sparkling eyes that seem to hold a hint of mischief just beneath the surface. But what sets her apart from others is not just her physical beauty, but also her kind heart and pure soul. Despite her stunning looks, Amaira radiates a warmth and grace that is completely natural to her. Her personality is a paradox, a mix of sweetness and sass, with a hint of stubbornness that surfaces at unexpected moments. He's cold, cruel - but only with his words. His hands? Always soft when they touch her.
