He raised her. Now he's forced to marry her. And he swears he'll never love her-until he does.
When Ciara Monroe's mother dies suddenly, she's sent to live with her mother's ex-boyfriend, Warren Peace-a powerful, ruthless man nearly twice her age. He's not her father, but the way he watches her, protects her, controls her-it feels like something much darker.
At nineteen, Ciara is defiant, beautiful, and aching for someone to truly see her. Warren, thirty-six and dark-skinned with a past steeped in secrets, sees her as the one thing he should never want-and the one thing he can't let go of. For years, he kept his distance. But a clause in her mother's will changes everything: he must marry Ciara or lose everything he's built.
Ciara thinks she can bend him. Warren thinks he can break her.
But obsession doesn't bend. And love born in shadows always demands blood.
As truths unravel-about who Ciara really is and what Warren has done to protect her-their twisted bond deepens. But desire this forbidden always comes with consequences.

Even Love Bleeds
Fate plays the game but heart pays the price. Alina Monroe doesn't love - she commands. Cold. Untouchable. Ruthless. Feared by governments and worshipped by men, she rules two empires - one built on gold, the other on blood. But power has a price. Behind the flawless facade lies a woman built from ruin, betrayal, and secrets that could burn nations. Then comes Arin Black - all faith, light, and impossible kindness. He should have been her enemy. Instead, he becomes the only man to ever see her - and the only one capable of destroying her. What starts as fascination turns into obsession. What begins as control becomes surrender. Together, they are fire meeting fate - beautiful, dangerous, and destined to fall. When love turns into war, even queens must bleed. And Alina Monroe? She's about to find out that the heart doesn't break from weakness... it breaks from loving too deeply. - A dark, emotional tale of power, obsession, and the kind of love that ruins everything it touches.

When they are forced into an arranged marriage for the good of their notoriously criminal families, their mutual animosity will spark into a fire that ignites their passion-or destroy them both.

The Unexpected
Looking at myself in the mirror I began to trace the small outline of my birthmark with my fingers. Anxiety began to claw at the back of my mind because of the fear of the unknown. Some of us have many birthmarks and some of us only have one just like me. I was told by my Nana that everyone birthmark had a different but very meaningful purpose in this life. Nana always stressed that I should "NEVER EVER" take my birthmark lightly. I never knew how true Nana's warning we're until this very moment... This may not be suitable for anyone under the age of 18. Some chapters will have vulgar language and violent tendencies.Complete
