When her friend Zara lands her a bartending job at a seemingly ordinary nightclub, Emery hopes to escape the grind of waitressing. But she soon discovers that the club hides a dangerous secret: an underground fight club.

While forging close bonds with Zara's friends-Salvatore, Gianna, and Angelo-Emery finds herself captivated by Nicholas, despite his cold demeanor.

As they navigate the complexities of their lives, their connection deepens amid the chaos of late-night fights and looming threats. But when a shocking incident forces Emery back to the nightclub, she struggles to keep her distance from the darkness that surrounds them. Just when she believes she's found a sense of belonging, everything takes a turn for the worse.

In a heart-stopping climax, Emery is violently confronted on her way home from work, and in her desperate moment, she tries to reach out for help. With danger closing in, will Emery find the strength to fight back, or will she succumb to the shadows that threaten to engulf her and Rain?All Rights Reserved

The Threefold Secret by apherbliss

His hand, tattooed and powerful, slammed against the armrest, making the entire chair jolt. The force of it was so sudden that I flinched, my breath catching in my throat. Then, in one swift motion, he spun the chair to face me, the steel of his gun glinting in the dim light as he pressed it against my forehead, forcing my head back against the leather seat. "Such a smart girl, aren't you?" His voice was a venomous hiss, the smirk on his face twisted into something cruel and taunting. He enjoyed this-enjoyed the power, the control. The metal was cold, biting into my skin as he pushed harder, my skull grinding against the headrest. "Why do this?" I gasped, trying to keep my voice steady, praying for any distraction that might buy me time. "Why be part of something so horrific when you're already a billionaire?" His response was a whisper, yet it sliced through the air like a blade. "Power, Nadia." --- A Billionaire's Nemesis, a Druglord's Rival, and a Stalker's Obsession.

Brave Enough To Love Again by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"
