I won't allow you to,'' I interrupted her, "You're going to be fine...and then w-we'll have our honeymoon. Please don't go. I'm begging you. Don't let go...''

Whispers in Secret
*** A Steamy Romance *** Ella Montgomery is a fiercely determined law student at Oxford University, juggling her ambitious studies while harboring an undeniable secret crush on Lucien Storm, her father's charismatic best friend. From the moment she first laid eyes on him, Lucien's magnetic presence ignited feelings within her that she desperately tries to suppress. She understands that her future hinges on her education, not on the fantasies of being swept away in his arms. Unbeknownst to Ella, Lucien is equally captivated by her. As the head of a powerful mafia family and a trusted friend of her father, he finds himself torn between his growing desire for the spirited young woman and the weight of his responsibilities. The forbidden nature of their feelings creates a tension neither can ignore, even as they try to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Lucien often finds himself lost in fantasies, imagining the feel of Ella's warm body against his, her nails tracing the intricate tattoos that tell his story, and the way her mouth would taste against him. Each thought is both intoxicating and torturous, as he grapples with the consequences of pursuing a romance that could shatter the bonds of friendship and loyalty. As they both navigate their intense emotions, they face the daunting question: Can love flourish in the shadows of secrecy and loyalty, or will their desires lead to heartbreak and chaos? Their journey will test the limits of their hearts, challenging everything they thought they knew about love, power, and the sacrifices they're willing to make for a chance at happiness. In a world where danger lurks at every corner, Ella and Lucien must decide if they are brave enough to confront their feelings, or if the pain of unrequited love will ultimately consume them both.Complete
Crimson Desires
"You think you've got me all figured out, don't you?" I say, my tone sharp as I glare up at him. Archer's lips curve into a faint smirk. "I don't need to figure you out. I already know your type." "Oh, do you?" I step closer, challenging him. "Enlighten me." His eyes darken as he leans down, his voice husky. "Reckless. Self-destructive. You'd run into flames just to prove you don't burn." "And you're the hero who thinks he can save me?" I shoot back, fists clenching. "No," he says evenly, his gaze boring into mine. "I'm the one who'll let you burn." *** When you've hit rock bottom, there's nowhere to go but up...or so they say. For Erin Carter, rock bottom looks like a past she can't escape and a future that seems impossible. Pulled from her prison sentence by a government agency, Erin's given the chance to prove she's more than her rocky past. But trust doesn't come easy, and neither does redemption- especially when her sharp tongue and fiery temper get her into trouble at every turn. For Archer Hayes, failure isn't an option. As one of the agency's top operatives, his life revolves around order and precision- two things that go out the window when Erin is thrown into his world. With a shared history he'd rather forget and a mission that could destroy them both, Archer is forced to confront the one thing he can't control: her.

☽✧ Lost In Prythian ✧☾ {Rhysand x OC}
Estelle Beaumont just wanted a peaceful hike on her last day of vacation. Instead, one ill-starred moment of curiosity leaves her miraculously stranded in the fictional world of Prythian: a faerie realm full of ruthless court intrigue, rampant misogyny, and enough deadly magic to keep anyone up at night. Armed with foreknowledge that's only helpful when it isn't actively trying to get her killed, Estelle quickly discovers that living through the story of ACOTAR is far less fun and far more perilous when it's her own basic-ass, untrained mortal life on the line. The plan is simple: keep her hands off of the plot and survive long enough to find a way back to the family and love she left behind. But the so-called "Mother" clearly has other ideas in store for Estelle, forcing her to confront an unsettling truth-her role here in Prythian may be far greater than that of a passive observer. As Estelle reluctantly abandons her original plan, uneasy alliances form, old wounds reopen, and fractured trust begins to mend. Love, loss, and the scars of the past converge as she slowly comes to realize that the family she thought she'd lost may yet take on a new shape-and that the life she left behind might be exactly what prepares her for the fight ahead. But the cost of shaping Prythian's future-and her own-may prove to be more than she can bear. After all, it's a future that was never meant to be hers in the first place. And this is all that damned Cauldron's fault... ☆⊱──────⊰ ☽✧☾ ⊱──────⊰☆ A/N: Warning: This fanfic is purely self-indulgent, with long-winded introspection and a major slowburn romance. Read at your own risk lol. Also if you don't like self-insert/iseki like tropes were an OC who read the books ends up in the fictional world as the new main character, you might want to skip this. Some things will stay very familiar, others will diverge completely, and I plan to add extra world building along the way. **Trigger W
