His Harley and his friends are the only things that have kept him out of jail this far, but watching her gives his life an entirely new purpose.

Ezra can't shake the feeling that Valerie's jealousy might have gone much darker than he imagined. Caught in a dangerous game of lies, obsession, and passion, Ezra finds himself spiraling down a path where nothing is as it seems. Can he uncover the truth before it's too late?

ETERNAL SHADOWS by roses__09

However, her unusual resistance to his powers and her fiery determination sparks something he hasn't felt in centuries: hope. But breaking the curse means sacrifice-for both of them. As they chase down the secret to his redemption, they're hunted by enemies from his past who see Lilith as his weakness. 1.Dorian (The Cursed Immortal) Charismatic and alluring-sharp features, piercing eyes that seem to hold centuries of sorrow, always dressed impeccably.

All Yours by drharleenquinzel_

"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25

Fate's Obsession by mamara546

Ava Monroe never believed in fate. She built her life on logic, routine, and the quiet anonymity of city living-until the day she caught the attention of a stranger who shouldn't have known her name. Mysterious, intense, and undeniably dangerous, he appears everywhere she goes, watching her with an obsession that feels both terrifying and inescapable. He doesn't just want to know her. He wants her. And he's willing to do whatever it takes to keep her close. As Ava is pulled into a world of secrets, deception, and an attraction she can't deny, she begins to question everything she thought she knew. Who is he? Why does he act as if their paths were destined to cross? And most importantly... How do you escape someone who swears you belong to them? Because in his eyes, this isn't just obsession. It's fate.

Vitality (Vitality Series #1) by Crysta_levere_author

A violent passion. A dangerous bond. A nightmare that will change everything. To Ava, love is about as real as fairytales. But it might be that fairytales, myths, and magic have some truth to them after all - as well as the monsters that lie in the shadows. Or she could just be completely out of her mind. After a mental breakdown and a move to a new town, everything changes when Ava clashes with a stranger with eyes as black as midnight and a terrifying sinister air. Her wishes to feel something again become granted. But Ava soon learns that not only is he as cold as he is beautiful, but he brings something out of her, stronger than ever, like fuel to fire - something she's desperate to bury. He haunts her dreams and waking life, and staying away becomes harder than she could have ever imagined, risking her life, her humanity, and the people that she cares about. Not to mention the fate of the world. She's fighting for life. He's fighting for death. What does it take to live? What does it take to love?
