Mockingbird
Raven Rose Kelly doesn't need saving. She's twenty-three, broke, drowning in debt, raising her little brother alone in a shitty trailer, and working herself to the bone just to keep food on the table. She's tired, angry, sharp-mouthed, and too damn stubborn to let anyone close. Ali Vitelli doesn't ask permission. Ex-gangster. Heir to dirty money. Dangerous, obsessive, and used to taking whatever the hell he wants. The moment he lays eyes on Raven-fiery, beautiful, with a mouth that could cut glass-he's hooked. She calls him a creep, spits venom at him, and yet he's already made up his mind. She's his. What starts as stalking in the shadows turns into something neither of them can control-an obsession laced with lust, rage, and secrets too heavy to carry. Raven is a storm Ali can't put out. Ali is a danger Raven can't escape. But when survival has always meant keeping her guard up, will Raven let herself fall? And when Ali swears to protect her-whether she wants it or not-will his love free her... or cage her?Complete
Forced Love - 2 (A dark romance tale)
This is a dark romance love-hate story of a rich handsome king who falls in love with a beautiful young farm girl. This wealthy landlord is cruel and heartless. He gets unhealthily obsessed with her due to her beauty. She gets forced to live with him, marry him, do sexual acts for him and be his queen soon. Will she ever change him to a nice man? Will she ever get away from her miserable life? This is the continuation of a book named 'Forced Love', written by heathluvsyou . She is such a talented author and her story is written with such accuracy you believe at times you traveled back in time. Sadly, her story stopped mid way through and she haven't updated in a while. I hope with my heart that she is okay. So, i'm going to try to recreate her writing style and give a ending to her story. I will be adding more chapters as much as I could. I'm not as good as our initial author but will try my best. I love you heathluvsyou. For my shortcut buddies - It is possible to tag along with part 2 without reading the first book. But, I wouldn't recommend that since I bet you don't want to miss out on one of the best books ever. Search up 'Forced love' written by heathluvsyou. It would be worth your time I promise :) Best ranking - 39 in 'dark' on June 9th 2021. Wrote in 2021. 2022 me- 😬 Not bad. Trying to appreciate my dedication and efforts 🤦♀️ 2025 nov- I wrote this when I was a teenager. Idk what I was on. I don't condone this nor should anyone learn from this. Sorry guys :(Complete
