When Kayla returns to her childhood home for summer break, she expects nothing more than hazy days spent behind her camera and restless nights scrolling through her phone. But that all changes when she meets Vasile. With his hypnotic presence, sharp wit, and a smile that never quite reaches his eyes, Vasile is unlike anyone Kayla has ever met.

What begins as an innocent curiosity spirals into irresistible obsession. Vasile's presence stirs something deep within her: a desire she can't quite name, but one that pulls her in even as her instincts scream for caution. 

His touch is gentle, his words soft, but there's a shadow behind his smile, something he's hiding. She can't shake the feeling that there's more than meets the eye-something dark, ancient -- something not entirely human.All Rights Reserved

Winding Dawn (Dusk Series - Book 9) by AmeliaCrossGE

Eliza Lovell has lived a dangerous life, inducted into the hunter organization as a child and hunting vampires since she could walk. Though she wouldn't say she was unhappy. Nothing was more satisfying than sinking her spell-forged blades into the monsters that stalked and terrorized human kind. What she did was a service. It gave her purpose to get up in the morning and sound sleep at night. That was until she met her match with a deceptively alluring vampire named Ezra, and the world around her twists in new and dangerous ways. Vampire corpses begin to surface around town, drained of their blood, and the fingers are pointed at the hunter organization. Eliza had nothing to do with such grotesque displays of depravity, and neither did the hunters, but she doesn't like the sins of others painted on her back. To end the violence and to clear her name, she embarks on a journey to root out the evil poisoning her city. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Alec de Fluer is new to his role as a leader of the Fleurs, but peacekeeping has been in his blood since he was a child. When others fought, he sought to ease their quarrels and help them find peace, as he did now in the tumultuous society that was rebuilding before him. Someone is draining vampires of their blood and hanging them up for display, but there is more to it than just hate. Remnants of Copse magic linger at the dump sites, powerful yet foreign. Though Alec is no longer a Copse, it falls on him to clear his former family's name, alongside his mate Idus and some more unconventional allies.

Ashes of Love by TiaJWrites

Viviane has always carried a heart too large for ordinary love. From fleeting infatuations to the sting of first heartbreaks, she searches for a fire that consumes her completely. Through crowded parties, stolen kisses, and whispered promises, she chases a love that is fierce, dark, and impossible to ignore. It is only in her dreams that her desire takes shape. He is tall, dark, and enigmatic-a shadow who haunts her nights and lingers at the edges of her days. His presence is intoxicating, teasing, and never fully revealed, yet impossible to forget. In dreams that burn with erotic tension and smoldering intimacy, Viviane experiences a connection no ordinary man could offer: a love as dangerous as it is irresistible, as consuming as it is forbidden. Reality and fantasy blur as Viviane struggles to reclaim herself, confront her longing, and navigate the men who orbit her life-none capable of matching the intensity she craves. Every touch, every whispered word drives her closer to the shadow who embodies her deepest desires, fears, and soul's longing. This is a story of obsession and surrender, of heartbreak and transcendence, of love that burns so brightly it cannot exist in the ordinary world. A story of desire, dreams, shadows, and longing so fierce it could destroy you... and love so intense it might just save you.

The Price Was Me by Liora_Noir

Elena Rosalie Valentie's quiet life shatters when she's kidnapped and sold to the ruthless Italian mafia leader, Adrian Dalassio Vervelli.

Trapped in his world of power and control, Elena battles fear, defiance, and unwanted desire as escape grows impossible. Yet when danger from Adrian's past threatens her, he becomes both her captor and protector. As fear slowly twists into fascination, an intense bond forms-one built on obsession, betrayal, and dangerous love. Enemies. Prisoner. Lover. Their story isn't about perfection-it's about surrendering to love born in the shadows. ᡕᠵデᡁ᠊╾━ •••••• "You know," he said, his voice low, "just standing there... makes me want to take more than just your attention." He said as hid fingers grazed her thigh. Elena's heart slammed against her ribs. She tried to steady her voice. "You're insane." "Insane?" he echoed, sliding up her leg with one fingertip. "Or... obsessed? Every part of you makes it impossible to think straight.I Impossible not to touch and devour ." Her breath hitched as his hand slid to her waist, brushing against her back and then lingered. "I... I can't believe you" "You can," he murmured, leaning so close her lips almost brushed his. "But you won't. Not because you don't want to, Sweetheart.. but because you are afraid you'll feel what I feel. And once you do... you'll be mine in ways you can't fight." Every word, every movement, every scrape of his fingers across her skin set fire to her nerves. Fear, desire, frustration-all tangled into a delicious ache she couldn't escape. And he knew it. 𐔌՞꜆. ̫.꜀՞𐦯 𓂃✿𓈒𓏸

The Burning Desire by versatilestories

She was a simple, ordinary human, yet she carried within her a small but potent beam of light. a tiny spark capable of igniting a world's rebirth. Their destinies were intertwined, two opposing forces locked in a cosmic dance. One sought to plunge the world into eternal night, the other to bathe it in everlasting light.
