Every year, the savage hunters of the Forgotten Hills choose a woman to be their prey in a deadly game of survival. If she can outrun and outsmart them through the treacherous wilderness, she wins her life-and the dubious honor of becoming the bride of their ruthless leader. No one has ever survived. Until now.
When Lila is taken from her quiet life and thrust into this twisted hunt, she's determined to escape. But as she fights for her freedom, the leader of the hunters becomes obsessed with her. He admires her strength, her cunning, and her will to survive-and he'll stop at nothing to make her his. What starts as a battle for survival turns into a dangerous dance between predator and prey, where the line between fear and desire blurs.
Caught between her instinct to escape and the unsettling connection growing between them, Lila must decide: will she find a way to break free, or will she surrender to the darkness that's calling her deeper into the heart of the hunt?

The strings of fate || Under Editing
Book #1 of the fated series They call me "the hunter"- the shadow that haunts the wicked. I don't just kill monsters disguised as human- I become their nightmare. Justice isn't a scale I balance; it's a blade I drive into the hearts of those who prey on the helpless. My only rule is simple: "Loyalty." But then there's him. A phantom who never reveals his true intentions, yet his presence coils around me like smoke. He doesn't speak. he watches. From the corners of my vision, the cracks in the walls, the spaces between heartbeats. He sees me, not the weapon I pretend to be, but the girl beneath the blood. "I don't love you, Rafael. Deal with it." - I said. "Get on your knees, principessa." - he said. He's not a hero. I'm not a princess. This isn't a love story. Ah it's obsession.Complete
TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Complete
