Fifty years ago Jimmy Kuchar led a revolution. He had imagined a fair world for everyone, one in which no one was allowed to slip through the cracks. The revolution succeeded, but now all that remains of his legacy is a fractured nation and a family fallen into obscurity. His home, Hale City, is controlled by warring two factions: a corrupt, overreaching government, and the Shine, a powerful mob ruled by an infamous gangster. The city is in turmoil, its soul up for grabs.
Marion Kuchar-Ross doesn’t care about politics. She’s an indentured servant at the Academy, a school for the children of Hale’s elite. With sixteen years left on her contract and nothing to look forward to but a short jaunt into the city every Sunday, she leads a small life. Then she meets John. John is handsome, impossibly popular, and wealthy. He’s also entirely off-limits.
John wants more than friendship from Marion, and he doesn't care that the Academy stands in their way. All he has to do is convince her he's a good man (or at least not an evil one) and get her to trust him with her freedom. He's up to the challenge, if his secrets don’t tear them apart first.
Their friendship has drawn the attention of Edward Sebok, Hale's despotic police commissioner. Sebok has a grudge against John, and Marion is the perfect way to get even. Marion soon finds herself caught in a vicious battle between the two most powerful men in the city. It's war, and it's her future at stake…

A fate without you
--- **Kaira Agarwal** had sworn off love. Abandoned by her parents and haunted by betrayal, her heart was a fortress-cold, guarded, untouchable. She came to the US to start over, to build a life free from pain... but fate had other plans. She wasn't just smart-she was strong, trained in combat, capable of defending herself in ways most wouldn't dare imagine. But strength alone wasn't enough when **John Devis** entered her life. Handsome, ruthless, and dangerously magnetic, he pushed her limits in every way-physically, emotionally, and mentally. "You think you can walk away?" he growled, closing the distance between them, his hand brushing her arm with a possessive claim. "No one touches what's mine." Kaira's instincts screamed fight, yet her pulse betrayed her. Every sharp glance, every brush of his hand ignited a fire she hadn't felt in years. When their bodies clashed-whether in a heated argument or a tense confrontation-the tension was electric, charged with both danger and desire. She could fight, she could defend herself... but could she fight the way he made her feel? The pull between them was irresistible, consuming, and terrifyingly real. Will Kaira survive the shadows of her past while navigating a world of obsession, power, and passion? Or will John's possessive fire break her walls completely-body and soul? ---

Wet Secrets: Bound by Lust|18+
She was never supposed to be his. But she made the mistake of smiling at the night. And the worst the.....night..... smiled back..... There's someone in the dark- Someone who knows the curve of her lips before she speaks. Who memorized the trail of her wet hair against her back. Who watches. Wants. Waits. He doesn't knock. He doesn't ask. He just takes-in silence, in shadows, in dreams soaked with hunger. She thinks she's alone in the shower. She thinks no one hears the moans she buries in her pillow. She thinks her secrets are hers. She doesn't know someone's already claimed her. Every inch. Every sound. Every drop. And then-there's Asher Wilson. Cold. Sinful. Dangerous. The kind of man who doesn't belong in her world... yet pulls her into his like a moth to flame. Every glance from him feels like a bruise, every word like a promise dipped in sin. He doesn't touch her- not yet. But she feels him everywhere. Two shadows circle her- one watching from the dark, the other standing in the light... yet both feel the same. One whispers danger. The other breathes temptation. And between them, she is already burning. When their bodies finally collide, it won't be love. It'll be possession-slow, sinful, and too wet to forget. Because some secrets don't whisper. They drip. And some obsessions don't knock. They enter. But who will claim her? The stalker in the dark... or the man who feels just as dangerous? What if they're not two men at all? What if the fire and the shadow belong to the same monster? And when she learns the truth- will she run from it... or fall to her knees and worship it? But, what so ever happens- In the end........ she was always his and he was hers and he will stake his soul to prove it even, if it killed both of them..!
