Dawn and Dusk- The Burning Desires
Ellan Singhania and Yug Raichand - two souls as different as fire and frost. She once harbored a tender crush on her best friend's brooding, mysterious brother. But Yug, the man who believed love was a weakness, crushed her hopes and vanished without a second glance. That rejection? It didn't just sting - it transformed her.

Her once-innocent infatuation has simmered into something darker... something dangerously obsessive. Yug Raichand, on the other hand, has become the name whispered behind closed doors - ruthless, powerful, and a notorious playboy who treats emotions like a game. He dominates boardrooms by day and hearts by night - never staying long enough to feel. But what happens when fate brings them face to face again? In a world where past wounds bleed into the present and obsession dances with desire - will their twisted history destroy them both, or ignite a fire neither saw coming? And a dark secret which she is carrying along with her? DISCLAIMER- This book contains abusive language, mature sexual scenes, violence. So read at your own risk...
Targets (bwwm) *Completed*
"I thought we agreed on a mutual day of rest?" His large body was within inches of hers, their chests brushing with each breath. "Who ordered the hit?" He growled out and Omisha rolled her eyes. It was an unspoken rule to carry that kind of information to your grave- a rule she was certain Thorn knew. "And here I was thinking you were sort of smart." She remarked as she pressed the auto start button on her key fob. Thorn's hand roughly grabbed her arm and pushed her against her car, her fresh sutures protesting. "Look, if we're not fucking you have to stop man handling me." She groaned as his grip tightened effectively pushing her wound tighter against the car. "Would you be serious for two seconds?" He growled as he angrily searched her eyes for an ounce of information. ------ When an assassin's next hit is a widely feared hitman you'd expect plenty of bloodshed not a toxic romance. *Warning very graphic scenes of violence, death and sex* Full description inside!Complete![A Fallen Rose [V2]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/3098910-256-k872452.jpg)

Inkblot Heart [Haitus]
Some hearts are made to bleed. Others are built to burn. Faye Alistair has always lived by her own rules - reckless, untamed, and unreachable. Brayden Ashbourne has spent his life surrounded by silence, secrets, and shadows. When their worlds collide, the past awakens - and with it, something ancient stirs beneath their skin. Love was never meant to be part of the story. But fate? Fate doesn't ask permission.
Vail of Thorns
Our story begins in a world where magic is a currency, and power is the only true god. The Fae are hunted, imprisoned, or bent into service. The human elite trade their souls for a taste of their waning power, while the common folk, shackled by fear of the unknown, betray their own neighbors for a whisper of safety. In this shadowed land, an innocent love is warped by desperate need and the crushing weight of expectation. From this corruption, an ancient evil stirs. Its goal is to shatter the veil that protects our world, to tear open the Fae Realm and drain its magic dry-all to feed a sinister hunger for dominion, no matter the cost. Darkness, after all, does not always storm the gates. Often, it seeps in through the cracks in the human heart. The journey ahead is long, paved with secrets and woven with lies. But hold fast. For even the deepest night must break, and a new dawn awaits on the horizon.
The Sentry and the Serpent
The Mark: Julian Vane (Poppy Ratchapong Anomakiti). Filthy rich, terminally bored, and a connoisseur of chaos. He doesn't just hire bodyguards; he stages his own life-or-death theatre. The Protector: Elias Vance (Tle Matimun Sreeboonrueang). A former national asset. The kind of man who moves like smoke and thinks three bullets ahead. He's sworn to protect Vane-not for loyalty, but for the retirement fund Vane dangles just out of reach. The Blade: The 'Black Mask' (Firstone Wannakorn Reungrat). An assassin whose work is quiet, visceral art. He takes the contract not for the money, but because Vane's existence offends his principles. The Game: Vane didn't just hire a protector; he hired the killer. He wants a show. He wants the thrill of knowing his own hired security is all that stands between him and an elegant death. A bulletproof vest meets an obsidian knife. Duty clashes with dark necessity. They are the immovable object and the irresistible force, both orbiting the same madman. When Vance finally tracks the Black Mask down, the confrontation is not a brutal fight, but a terrifying symmetry. They move with the same lethal grace, the same calculating coldness. The only thing more dangerous than being their target is being their distraction. Because in the crucible of this forced proximity, the lines between enemy and intimate start to blur, rewriting their destinies one betrayed glance at a time. Guns vs. Blades... and a love story forged in blood and lies.

Grim Echoes
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.Complete
