Meara's life has been one disappointment after another, and he's not expecting his new roommate situation to be anything but, either. But he needs to get out of the city and needs a room, and Josselin seems nice enough and has a bed to spare.

But Josselin ends up being more than just a freelance translator, eccentric book hoarder, and taxidermy enthusiast, he's also a consulting detective; the one the police come to when they just can't crack a case. Meara accidentally gets swooped up in one such situation.

It's the most excitement and fun he's ever had in his entire life. He's hooked.

The Ink Knows Her Name by authorrrrdipppp
32 parts Complete Mature
He appeared when she needed him most-dark, scarred, and far too real. Mira has always lived inside her books. Especially his book. The one with the tortured antihero she can't let go of. The one she's read so many times, the pages feel like skin. Then one night, he's there. Flesh and blood. Standing in her world. Kael doesn't remember how he got here-or why this girl knows everything about him. All he knows is that something is wrong. The shadows still cling to him. The nightmares haven't left. And her obsession? It's deeper than devotion. It's dangerous. But the more he tries to escape her, the more reality begins to fracture. And Kael starts to wonder if he's protecting her... or himself. A slow-burn , dark romance where obsession blurs the line between fantasy and fate.
HER LOVER'S ALIBI by Creativeminx
10 parts Ongoing Mature
Aria Sen moves to Bangalore, hoping for a quiet, steady life-just her rented apartment, the metro ride, and her new job at Aurum Biolabs. But nothing about her new beginning stays quiet for long, especially not when she meets Raghav Mehta, the senior researcher whose calm voice and steady presence unsettle her more than the complex experiments ever could. Raghav isn't the loud, charming type. He's gentle, observant, and dangerously attentive in ways Aria isn't used to. The more they work together-late evenings bent over microscopes, shared coffees, small careless touches-the harder it becomes for her to ignore the pull between them. He makes her feel seen in a world where she has always been invisible. But the comfort she feels around him is cut by an undercurrent of something darker. There are things Aria can't explain: odd files updated at midnight, restricted lab doors left unlocked, whispers about internal audits, and the strange tension that flashes in Raghav's eyes whenever he thinks no one is watching. Aurum Biolabs may look clinical and bright, but shadows live in its corners-shadows that seem to circle him. As Aria's feelings deepen, so do the secrets surrounding Raghav. And the closer she gets, the more she realizes that the truth is nothing like the man she thinks she's falling for. Because in a place built on evidence and precision, one thing is certain- every secret leaves a trace... and Aria is about to uncover one that will change everything.
Paper Vows [SkyNani] by JustDinariz
38 parts Complete
They were never meant to be in love-just married. Sky is a calculated businessman, known for his silence and sharp edges. When a political alliance binds him to Nani-the bright, soft-spoken kindergarten teacher and youngest son of a powerful Thai-Chinese tycoon-it's a move to protect reputations, not hearts. But behind Nani's easy smile is a secret his family keeps buried: a rare heart condition slowly threatening his life. And behind Sky's emotionless exterior is a man who begins to care more than he should. In a house built on obligation and silence, two strangers navigate power, illness, and the quiet ache of growing too close. Some marriages start with love. Theirs starts with a contract. What grows in the silence might be something neither of them are ready for.

The Grocery Store Encounter by QuinnC819
17 parts Ongoing Mature
It started with a grocery store encounter-one of those small, embarrassing moments that somehow changes everything. She wasn't looking for love. He wasn't supposed to notice her. But when Pedro, a charming actor with a quiet kind of gravity, crosses her path, something unexpected sparks. What begins as a coincidence turns into stolen moments, laughter, and nights that feel too good to be real. He's patient, attentive, the kind of man who listens when she talks and holds her like he means it. And she, for the first time in years, lets herself believe that happiness might actually be simple. But love always asks for something in return. And some connections cost more than anyone could ever imagine. A slow-burn romance that explores desire, trust, and what it means to surrender to something that feels written in the stars. Your story contains graphic depictions of violence, sexuality, strong language, and/or other mature themes.

Tulips in the dark by itzz_ur_author_dee
14 parts Ongoing
Dr. Elara Voss has spent her career inside the minds of killers. As a criminal psychologist, she prides herself on recognizing patterns of obsession, control, and desire long before they spiral into violence. But when a single red tulip appears in her apartment-followed by another, and another-Elara finds herself caught in a game she cannot profile her way out of. Someone is watching her. Someone who knows her secrets, her habits, her fears. Someone patient enough to leave no trace except flowers and a thread of white. When a chance encounter at a café introduces her to a man unlike any she has ever met-charismatic, commanding, and far too interested-Elara doesn't realize she has stepped into the very shadow she's been chasing. He is not just a stranger. He is the Don of a ruthless empire, and he has already claimed her in silence. Drawn into his world of power and danger, Elara struggles to tell the difference between fear and fascination, predator and protector. The deeper she investigates, the more her own mind betrays her-because what terrifies her most is not that he's watching... but that she wants him to.
