When CIA Case Officer Mireya "Reya" King walks away from the Agency after a mission gone wrong, she leaves behind more than a career. Betrayal from inside the CIA cost her partner his life and nearly cost her her own. With her trust shattered and enemies closer than she realized, Reya takes the one job she swore she never would: joining King Consulting, the morally gray art-recovery firm run by her estranged half-brother.
King Consulting operates in the space between legal acquisition and outright theft, staffed by former soldiers, specialists, and operatives who live and train together. Reya fits in far too well, but the past she hoped to escape is waiting for her inside the compound.
Captain Vali Dalca is everything Reya should avoid: dangerous, loyal to the wrong person, and convinced she is someone she is not. Forced proximity, escalating sabotage, and long-buried lies turn hostility into something far more volatile. As accusations fly, trust fractures, and personal vendettas turn cruel, Reya is left questioning who is manipulating the truth and how far they are willing to go to destroy her.
With a fragile engagement, dangerous missions, and a growing attraction she refuses to acknowledge, Reya must decide whether to protect herself at all costs or risk everything for the truth - and for a man who may already be too late.
In a world built on secrets and lies, survival is never guaranteed.

Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete

THE ESCAPE
Ana thought her life was perfect-picture-perfect, the kind every girl secretly wished for. A loving family. A stable job. Peace... safety... freedom. But perfection has a habit of cracking-especially when a demon is waiting in the shadows. Watching. Wanting. Claiming. Waiting for the moment he could take back what he believed was his... what he never stopped wanting. "Did you really think you could disappear?" His voice slithers through the dark, hungry, familiar. "You vanished. But my obsession? It didn't die. It grew-deeper, darker, hungrier." ANA (heart racing, stepping back): "You're insane. This isn't love-this is possession!" He smiles. Slow. Cold. Certain. "Call it whatever makes you sleep at night. But your soul? It's been sewn to mine long before your first breath." And suddenly the past-buried, burned, forgotten-begins to claw its way out. The truth is cruel. Unforgiving. Inevitable. She was never free. Just... living on borrowed time. Now she has a choice- Run from him. Fight him. Or fall into the arms of the very monster she's been hiding from. Because once Ana uncovers the truth- the lies, the blood, the twisted bond that burn him. Or love him. Or destroy them both. ⚠️ Smut Alert 📢 This story drips with obsession, dark romance, explicit scenes, sinful tension, and themes suited only for mature (18+) readers. If that's not your vibe, feel free to skip. If it is... welcome to the wicked side. 🔥💋Complete

Dark Romance
18+ !!! This is a dark story with multiple explicit scenes. So, please take this age restriction serious. Gang AU -------------------------------------------------------- Y/n owns a little bakery and works hard to keep her dream alive. She's happy with her job, with her friends, and with her relationship. For the most part anyway. The secrecy and possessiveness of her girlfriend causes friction every now and then. Until it eventually ends in a breakup, which in return leads to Y/n meeting another woman at the bar. If only she knew, how much and in which way her ex-girlfriend is connected to her new crush... Some secrets are better left untouched. -------------------------------------------------------- This story shows toxic relationships and behaviors. Those are not romanticized and in real life, all of this would have a different impact. Please be aware, that this is fictional and not a depiction of what a healthy relationship should look like. TW will likely be given in the specific chapter as well, but here are a few, you should be aware of: - explicit sexual scenes (consensual) - toxic and slightly abusive relationship - manipulation - obsessive behavior - weapons - blood, gore - violence - stalking - injuries Since I feel like no one will read until here, or the description in general: Hi, it's me, the author. Thanks for reading all of this and let me know in the comments if you did, so I can reply and express my happiness about it :DComplete
Yes Sir (Tronnor Fanfiction)
Troye moves to California to have a better life for himself and to become successful. He works two jobs that don't pay that much and barely gets by with just living in a small apartment in LA. He finally gets the courage to apply for a job at Franta Records, which he gets. After a little while of working there, he starts to get noticed by Connor Franta, the Founder of Franta Records. After finding out who this Australian is, he becomes quite intrigued with him and starts introducing Troye to the finer things in life. After some time Connor tells Troye that he has greater intentions than some short love affair, and offers Troye a deal that would turn his world upside down, in exchange for his freedom. Warning: There will definitely be a lot of smut in story. Not sure when, but there will be. I most likely won't give a warning, it'll just happen. Also, this is a BDSM type of fic, like 50 Shades of Grey but less masochism and no emotional abuse. There will be no triggers like rape, self harm, etc. If I put something in and I think it may be triggering, I'll make sure to put a trigger warning at the beginning of the chapter.Complete
