All I know is bad... bad decisions...
A new company has taken hold of LA over the last few years; M.I.N.D. Labs, Inc., which allows patients to view their memories and more via a neural link. People flock to the clinics to view their past selves, and live in their own fantasy worlds. But some hate the artificial manipulations of someone's memories, and are hellbent on making it known.
Aurora Kestrel is the Head of Security and Liquidation of M.I.N.D. Labs, Inc, or in simpler terms, an assassin, tasked to hunt down and eliminate those who stand in the company's way to worldwide success. And she takes her job very seriously.
After a successful takedown of a smaller clinic site by a new unheard of vigilante group, she is given her most difficult target to take out yet; the leader of the vigilante group, Noah Sebastian.
But he won't go down without a fight, and he's determined to take her down with him, dragging down with him her mind, her body... and her heart.
CW: This is a very dark romance, and I will update these as the story progresses, but this is a blanket warning. Clearly, there is sexual content. Blood and gore are also included, as well as some drug and alcohol use, and mental health issues. Reader discretion is highly advised, and like always, this is the only warning you will receive.
Authors Note: This world is totally different than the CJ stories. I plan on only one single book for this, but who knows.

Faya Hathaway is no stranger to unfathomable trauma. Hell, she was born into it. A world where she had no control over her own life or destiny. Just a lone figure, surrounded by a diabolical society, without any friends or a real family. Most feared and loathed her due to her father. Others shunned and degraded her due to her ways. This suits her just fine, as Faya would rather hide in the weeds than attract any further attention. However, after her stepmother disappears, Faya finds herself further entangled in the world she hates. She knows the rules perfectly well and has now been saddled with the woman's debt, which the Hounds of Hell have been sent to collect. But what happens when one unsuspecting Polaris crashes through her impermeable façade? Invading her heart, the very place Faya sealed and bound tightly long ago? Is it nothing more than smoke and mirrors? Is it merely a ploy like so many others? Or could it be... ⎯ 21 - This is a dark romance set in the underworld of Sinclair, a city known to locals as Sin City. A world filled with unimaginable shenanigans and thick with corrupt crime, all designed to appease their ruler, a man called Hades. Please Note: 21 is a standalone story written in only the protagonist's view (Faya). In the future, a second variation, 22, will be written in the male counterpart's view. =0) Warning: 21 is intended for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY |18+|. Please be advised there are many sensitive topics present throughout the story, including but not limited to sexual assault/rape, depression, drug/alcohol abuse, descriptive violence, strong profanity, and graphic sex scenes.Complete
Heirs And Hunters
"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

Despite possessing the skills, power, strength, and knowledge to rule, she never wanted the throne, not with the risks. Yet, her people will stop at nothing to see her ascend as their empress. Determined to escape this fate, she runs relentlessly, evading all who pursue her. Then she meets him.

The moment she holds a gun to his head, challenging her destiny, she becomes his obsession. Little does he know, the woman behind the mask is his worst nightmare. - "We are going to play a game, my sunshine," he murmurs, his hot breath trailing along the side of my neck. His hand finds my heated pussy, clutching it with just enough force to remind me exactly who it belong to. My heart stutters, my breath falters, and all I can feel is the searing heat of his presence. His lips hover dangerously close to my ear. "One where I fuck you recklessly, without mercy, and you won't make a sound... because if anyone around us hears, I will punish you." *** This book is unapologetically intense, filled with a few graphic violence and explicit content that explores the darker sides of humanity. It's not for people who shy away from brutal, unfiltered storytelling. If violence and sexual themes make you uncomfortable, this might not be the story for you. Proceed with caution- you've been warned. #1 in Spy: October 9, 2024 #1 in plot: January 17, 2025Complete
