Yet, behind the polished facade of legal prowess lies a chilling reality. As their love for Elowen intensifies, the brothers descend into madness, unleashing a cascade of covert actions-stalked by unseen eyes, Elowen's every move monitored, her life molded by forces she cannot comprehend.

Intentions - HS by em_shwa

In the heat of the bustling metropolis of New York City, despite her father's tragic downfall in her same field, renowned psychiatrist Camilla Windsor is known for her clinical precision and specialization in treating patients with severe psychological disorders. Her life takes a harrowing turn when she is approached by Harry Styles, a charismatic yet enigmatic billionaire with an infamous reputation. Harry suffers from a rare and debilitating condition that makes him almost immune to physical pain, and is seeking Camilla's help for a cure. Harry's deal is simple; he will fund Camilla's research and provide her with any and all resources she needs, as long as she agrees to move in and act as Harry's personal therapist for an entire year. Camilla reluctantly agrees to Harry's deal in order to save the company her father once ran with prosperity, but in turn she finds that maybe people's true intentions aren't what they may have seemed. - "You think you can fix me? Do you think I want you to?" His fists clench at his sides, breathing hard as he stares into my eyes with so much intensity that I want to look away. "No, I don't want to fix you. But you can't keep running from this." "Jesus Christ-" he mutters. In the blink of an eye, Harry closes the remaining space between our bodies and grabs my waist, pulling my chest to his. Without warning, he crashes his lips to mine with a mix of anger, desperation, and need. It's almost as if he didn't know what else to do with the mix of emotions raging inside of him. I freeze for a moment as he moves one hand up to cup my jaw with a firm but not forceful grip, pulling me impossibly closer as his lips move against mine. (Mature - 18+)

Behind Closed Doors by Brooklyngirl1026

I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16.

With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.

Years later, she's still trying to come to terms with the fact that her old life is one she'll never get back. Not her ability to write out a sentence or read a good book.

The woman she was is gone forever and Hannah is forced to live with constant reminders surrounding her day to day life. Desperate for change, Hannah takes her former best friend from high school up on an offer to move in with her across the country and start a new life.

𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐍𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑 is your average do-good lawyer on the rise to fame as a representative of young victims. Except her motivations aren't all that innocent. Rayne's only goal is to run from her past, to leave confrontation for the courtroom, no matter who or what that hurts. The task once easy soon becomes hard when an unlikely ally shows up with the truth about her twin brother. 𝐑𝐔𝐄𝐁𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒 is the Spanish mafia heir, at least, in name. Four years ago, he sat helplessly as his younger sister was snatched from his front lawn, and again when his best friend was taken months later. Up until now, he's been searching on his own. But there are new players involved; new distractions. The time for waiting is over: he needs an ally. Each fighting for a different reason, each holding onto closeted history, will the alliance prove to be worth it in the end? Or will all of their fears metastasize into something greater? 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓 is a classic jokester, hiding his personality and altruism behind false excitement and distracted ironies. With a broken child living inside of him, he finds life easier to manage so long as he keeps up appearances by entertaining a semi-toxic relationship with Blake Ruiz. Happiness is a virtue he can afford to scorn, that is, until everything he's ever craved steals his mind with dark blue Converse and black nail polish. 𝐊𝐀𝐈 𝐀𝐋𝐕𝐄𝐑È𝐙, apathetic at best, shields his vulnerability with pride, ego, and a few too many Jack and Cokes. Men constantly fall into his trap, but when Mason makes the same mistake, things suddenly change. Traumatized from childhood, jeered by a complex he can't seem to quit, he clings to this new person. Steered by unhealed wounds, they find themselves wrapped in one another. Whoever said you needed water to drown when love is hastily included? ⤷ MULTIPLE MCS COVER: _NAVYBLUEEE_

That was the plan. But Hector Pierce, the feared underboss of the Pierce crime family, is standing in my way, vowing to destroy what I had left if I even think about coming for his family. I want to hate him, to run right over him and his stupid principles, but his loyalty and unmatched passion won't let me.

Along with my family, I've apparently developed a new weakness. Frank Monroe. The cold and calculated lawyer who also happens to be just as deadly with guns and knives.
