Basking Brooks
New chapters everyday for your mind, your heart and most of all, your soul!! Saunter by the busy, flowing brook which gurgles like an infant, basking in the late afternoon sun. Feel the cold caress of green grasses, gently thawing under bare feet; their blade-arms sprinkled with faint dewdrops. Lie there, remain motionless and let everything from the inside as well as outside get washed away along with the flowing water. Basking Brooks aims at bequeathing the feel of soulful lightness that envelops the human heart from divine nature, by carefully wading through the readers' minds - scanning, deeply analysing and poking at difficult places to release the soul from cages within. The book is not like any other self-help book to give first-hand advice on how to live, love and survive. It will make you look deeper inside your being, inside those trenches which had not seen any light until then. You will come face to face with the broken, battered, scarred and eventually-healed soul of yours; the encounter that you may have been either faking to have had or avoiding all this while. You will be made to embrace yourself and, ultimately, feel light at heart. The book will become your best friend with whom you will have deep, meaningful midnight conversations - no hiding or running away performances. It will strip you down to your flesh and bones and beyond that, to your heart and naked mind too. It will sort you out by slowly allowing you to collapse on yourself and then build a 'new-you' out of the pieces, now refined and mystically pure; yes, similar to a phoenix, only here, it is not a myth.Complete
We Never Broke Up (A Second Chance Romance)
"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent. He was right, I couldn't deny the feelings i had for him. They had always been there, but they had intensified with his return. ●●●●●●□□□●●□□□●●● In their final year of high school, Thaddeus and Sera epitomized the dream teen couple, envied by all.

I barely make it a few steps before I feel his hand clamp down on my hair, yanking me back with terrifying force. "Going somewhere, little girl?" "P-please let g- ahh! Please! H-Hurts me!" "Afraid, are we now, baby?" His voice is a snarl now, filled with fury. "L-leave m-me," tears sting my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. I'm scared of him, scared of what he'll do to my friend, scared of what he'll do to me. His grip on my hair tightens and I wince, choking back a sob. "Oh, why? Don't you like my hands on you, baby?" He mocks hurt that instantly turns back into anger. "But you were fine when that fucker touched you, ain't that right?" Then he pulls a silver knife out of his suit, twirling it lazily between his ink-covered knuckles and my blood freezes at the sight of that psychotic grin. ***** People quaked with fear at the sound of his name and me along with them. He was Demetrios 'the God' Nikolayev and he was first in command of Russian mafia. He was a true psychopath who enjoyed hurting people, and I hated him for that. The worst thing - he owned me. "Try to accept the darkness, because from now on, it will be your only light." I tried so hard, but I couldn't understand it back then. How possibly can darkness be light? ***** This is not a vanilla romance but a dark, toxic, perverted, obsessive story. The book contains mature themes such as foul language, bdsm, sexual and abusive content, kinks, blood, manipulation, etc. Please keep that in mind.
