People are drawn to the good and the beautiful-those perfectly polished little things that catch the light just right. They're obsessed with the illusion of perfection, believing it will fill the cracks within them, convinced that beauty equals happiness. They chase after what they think everyone else desires.
Flawlessness. They chase after what they think they should be desiring. Illusions.
But the eyes staring back at me now? They don't want all that. They see beauty as a fragile lie. They want more.
They want to fall free in the forbidden darkness, that most people are afraid of.
They want to feel the rush of the wind tearing past their skin, that most people are terrified of.
They want the chills on every inch of their body and to taste the thrill of the unknown.
They want something bad.
And what do we do to girls who want to do bad things?

Valeria Riviera never expected her best friend's brother, the ruthless Cassian De Luca, to claim her as his own. Reserved and delicate, she is thrust into a world of power, danger, and unrelenting obsession. Cassian, a dominant force in the underworld, has always known-she was his. No matter what. She was delicate, untouched by the shadows he ruled. He was power, dominance, and an obsession she never saw coming. In his world, love is a weakness-but obsession? That's survival. A tale of forbidden love, jealousy, and an unrelenting claim that leaves no room for escape. Because once he set his sights on her, there was only one ending-she was his. Always.

Sin & Silk (COMPLETE)
In the dark, they surrendered. In the light, they collided. Every Saturday night, she trades power for pleasure. In The Velvet Room, names are forbidden, masks are mandatory, and reality disappears behind silk and shadows. For a few stolen hours, she isn't a ruthless attorney clawing her way to the top-she's simply desire, hunger, need. Then she meets him: dominant, dangerous, addictive. They agree-no names. No faces. No strings. But outside the club, fate has a twisted sense of humor. He's the one man she can't afford to crave. The one man who holds her future in his hands. Because he's not just any stranger... He's the judge about to preside over her biggest case yet. Masks will fall. Rules will break. And the most dangerous sin... will be falling for him. ***Mostly smut with a little plot*** #1 in masked - 5/18/25 #1 in power imbalance - 5/18/25 #2 in secret identities - 5/18/25Complete

"Why such fancy words FUCKER...Sach Sach bathana ki YOU FUCKING TRIED TO RAPE HER" "RAPE YOUR OWN WIFE" "You sick, pathetic bastard," aadi spat. "I never thought you could sink this low. To touch a woman without her consent- that too your own wife-how dare you...huh?" Tears blurred my vision, spilling down my cheeks. My chest heaved with silent cries. "I know... I know..." My voice was barely a whisper, choked and broken. "She's not an object for you to claim. Not something you take when you please. Not something you break just because you can." I squeezed my eyes shut, my entire body trembling. I wished he'd keep hitting me. I wished he'd tear me apart, because nothing-nothing-could hurt more than knowing what I had done. "A woman's body is not an invitation. Her silence is not consent. Her fear is not an excuse." I let out a strangled sob, guilt pressing down on me like a crushing weight. "I-I was wrong. I lost control, I-" "Lost control?" His voice was sharp with fury. "You think strength is forcing yourself on someone weaker? Then let me show you what real strength looks like." His fist slammed into my gut, knocking the air from my lungs. I doubled over, gasping, my knees buckling. "A real man protects. A real man respects. A real man knows that a woman is not something you own-she is someone you stand beside." . . .

This is a StudentxTeacher novel!! Un·as·sail·a·ble Adjetive: unable to be attacked, questioned, or defeated. If I could categorize our relationship in one word, it'd be un·as·sail·a·ble. Of course due to the irony of the meaning itself. We were something dangerously unmoral, could we be questioned? Yes. Attacked? Of course. Defeated? Hell no. No one could break our magnetism. Our perfectly forbidden dalliance. It was exquisite, if you ask me. But every choice we make has its own repercussions, right? Doctor Vennberg is a thirty-five year old prestigious surgeon, being one of the greatest physicians there is. This year he tried doing something different and put a partial pause to his work at the hospital to teach at Cooley's university-one of the best colleges on science faculty. He's strict, arrogant, incredibly intelligent and annoyingly handsome. Now insert Amalia Knox, a 21 year old adventurous, beautiful and immensely smart first year medicine student. What will happen when they cross paths? There's a million reasons why they shouldn't be together, but what if the desire is stronger? What happens when they find themselves in a one way road, not being able to turn back?Complete

#𝟐 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐞 ✦ 𝐀 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𓂃⋆.˚ She was light-too blinding, too pure for a man like him. He was darkness-cursed, dangerous, and utterly obsessed. He was a man of power, feared and worshipped in the same breath, ruling over the world of shadows where morality was a myth and sin was the only language spoken. Love? That was for the weak. He didn't do love. He didn't believe in innocence. Until her. She was untouched by the darkness he thrived in-a vision of purity, a forbidden fruit he had no right to crave. But the devil had never been one to deny himself temptation. And she... she was his greatest one. She should have run. He told her to. Instead, she stayed, unaware that the moment she stepped into his world, she became his. His to ruin. His to cherish. His purest sin. And now, even if heaven came calling-he'd rather burn than let her go.
