In the gritty, noir-infused city of Redemption, Detective Jack Donovan finds himself immersed in a web of corruption and deceit. When a prominent businessman is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Donovan's relentless pursuit of the truth uncovers a vast network of criminals, politicians, and power brokers who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.

As Donovan delves deeper into the case, he becomes entangled with Evelyn Blackwood, a woman desperate to find her missing brother, Samuel, who was involved in a dangerous fight against the city's corrupt elite. Together, they navigate the treacherous underbelly of Redemption, unmasking the puppeteers pulling the strings behind the scenes.

With each revelation, Donovan and Evelyn face grave dangers, from lethal encounters with hired thugs to the constant threat of betrayal. Their determination to expose the truth unites them in a battle against the shadows that have enveloped the city.

As Donovan uncovers the far-reaching influence of a clandestine organization known as The Syndicate, he realizes that his pursuit of justice may come at a heavy price. The lines blur between allies and enemies, and Donovan must confront the darkness within himself to protect those he holds dear.

In a climactic showdown, Donovan confronts the leaders of The Syndicate, exposing their malevolent deeds to the light of day. But victory comes at a cost as Donovan's city trembles on the edge of chaos, and his own demons threaten to consume him.

Through sacrifice, unwavering determination, and an unyielding belief in the power of redemption, Donovan and Evelyn fight to reclaim their city from the clutches of corruption. As the dust settles, they find themselves standing at the precipice of a new era, where justice and hope begin to replace the shadows that once engulfed Redemption.

She's panting, flushed and breathless like something from another century. It hurts to look at her, so stunningly alive in a way he isn't. Almost smiling, too. She has the kind of lips that need undiluted devotion. "You've always looked at me," she breathes. Yes, and he finds himself thinking about ruin. The right kind, like his knuckles against her jaw to shake her apart. Freedom. Maybe in another life, he brushes the hair off her shoulder and whispers, 'Eyes on me.' Maybe in another life, they have time. 𝑫𝒐 π’šπ’π’– 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 π’Šπ’•? 𝑻𝒉𝒆 π’”π’„π’“π’†π’‚π’Žπ’” π’ƒπ’†π’•π’˜π’†π’†π’ π’”π’Šπ’π’†π’π’„π’†. She isn't his to protect. He's a cop, she's taken, and rules are rules. But Faro Wyatt has mapped every freckle on her nose and dreamt of the oceans in her eyes. His resolve is weakening. So when the radio crackles with a single call, he's breaking every rule from here on out.

Married to my stalker

30 parts Complete Mature

"He watched me. He followed me. He married me. But I was never supposed to love him back." After surviving a brutal home invasion that stole her childhood and nearly her life, Elara Hayes has spent the last seven years trying to forget. With a dream boutique on the verge of opening and her past seemingly behind her, she's finally starting over. Until the night her boutique burns to the ground. And a man from the shadows steps into the light. Zayne Locke, a cold, enigmatic billionaire, offers her a contract marriage-a solution to her financial ruin in exchange for one year of her life as his wife. What he doesn't tell her? He's the one who saved her that night years ago. And he's been watching her ever since. He claims it was protection. She calls it obsession. But when another stalker emerges-one far more dangerous and unhinged than Zayne-Elara finds herself torn between the man who haunts her and the man who might be the only one who can truly protect her. As the walls close in, dark truths surface, and the line between love and possession blurs, Elara must decide: Can you love the man who watches you in the dark... if he's the only one keeping you alive?
