Legends speak his name with dread, for he is said to bring ruin wherever he walks. To Lucian, love is a weakness long buried with the ashes of his past. In a quiet village at the edge of his dark kingdom lives Aria Celeste Moreau, a simple girl who has always felt invisible in her own world. Gentle yet resilient, she dreams of a life beyond her small village, never imagining that destiny has already marked her as the key to breaking a king's eternal curse. When a fateful night draws her into the Vampire King's path, their worlds collide. Aria should fear him, yet she finds herself captivated by the man behind the monster. And for Lucian, Aria is a dangerous temptation-the light that threatens to shatter his carefully built darkness. But their love is forbidden. Humans call him a monster. Vampires call her a weakness. Together, they must defy a world set against them, uncover the truth of Aria's hidden bloodline, and face the prophecy that binds their souls. In the clash between eternal night and fragile dawn, only one question remains: Will their love be strong enough to break the curse-or will it destroy them both?

Eclipsed by Lust by ZiaAkter20

There are men who kill for power. Others who kill for survival. And then there are the ones who kill for love-and call it mercy. Ethan Vance was never corrupted. He was created. Forged in backroom deals and blood-soaked loyalty, he walked away from the law long before he broke it. Now, he's a shadow in the city's criminal hierarchy-answering only to the silent kings who rule from behind bulletproof glass and gold-plated promises. His name isn't on paper. His crimes don't make headlines. But when something needs to disappear, Ethan is the last thing it sees. Aria Blake was supposed to be untouchable. A rising officer with an incorruptible spine, she's tasked with investigating the force's connection to organized crime. She thought she was prepared for what she'd find. She wasn't prepared for Ethan. He doesn't lure her-he dismantles her. Slowly. Quietly. With the patience of a man who knows how to break things without leaving bruises. He tells her lies so carefully wrapped in truth she doesn't know she's falling. Until it's too late. As Aria descends into his world-where love is leverage and silence is survival-she begins to unravel everything she believed about right and wrong. Because Ethan doesn't offer her safety. He offers her clarity. He offers her a cage lined in velvet and fire. She tries to resist. He never gives her the chance. Because Ethan doesn't chase. He consumes. And when the bodies start piling, and the lines blur between justice and betrayal, Aria has to ask herself: Is she still undercover, or already claimed? This is not romance. It's obsession dressed in charm. A slow-burn disintegration of two people bound by secrets, and doomed by desire. Some love stories save you. This one buries you.

The Only Logic I Follow by TizzyLady

Gemini is the FBI's dark, highly-decorated lead field agent. Driven by rigid protocol and a need for certainty, he has built his career on being dark and broody-an imposing force of physical control. When a catastrophic national data breach occurs, he's ready to hunt. Fourth is the Bureau's brilliant, controversial hacker, known for his quick-witted mind, sassy mouth, and utter disdain for authority. He's disliked by his peers but is the only asset capable of cracking the code. They are forced together on the same task force. In the high-pressure, forced proximity of the bunker, their rivalry immediately ignites. Gemini despises Fourth's chaotic arrogance; Fourth mercilessly mocks Gemini's predictable "brute force." But as the investigation accelerates, their professional hostility melts into a volatile, undeniable attraction. Fourth's superior intellect forces the dark and broody agent to surrender his pride, and in return, Gemini's unwavering protection forces the sassy hacker to reveal the fear beneath his façade. When the case becomes lethal, Gemini must decide if he can abandon the logic that defined his life and follow the only logic that matters: the messy, brilliant, and undeniable heart of the man he was supposed to hate. An intense enemies-to-lovers romance where the greatest risk isn't in the field-it's in the supply closet.
