A novel of obsession, betrayal, and deadly choices.
Mira Hawthorn was never meant to survive.
Daughter of a convicted killer, orphaned by reputation, she's spent years rebuilding a life from ashes - one night shift, one university lecture, one heartbreak at a time. She doesn't cry anymore. Doesn't hope. She only works.
Until the morning she serves coffee to a stranger with ice in his eyes and too much interest in her bruised wrist.
Victor Julian Rashford has blood on his hands and empires at his feet. At twenty‑five, he's the youngest CEO in the Rashford dynasty - sharp press, sharp suits, and even sharper secrets. He wasn't supposed to notice the girl with haunted eyes behind the café counter or the girl who had screamed on TV. He wasn't supposed to care. But he does.
Then, he becomes the target.
He should stay away. He should hate her. But obsession doesn't ask permission. And when vengeance is the only legacy left, love becomes the most dangerous battlefield.
Perfect for fans of slow‑burn enemies‑to‑lovers, morally grey anti‑heroes, tragic heroines, and crime‑tinged romantic suspense.

The Devil's Cadence [BoyXBoy]
Cairus Music was the only thing that ever listened back. Every note I played held control, precision-something my life never gave me after my parents were taken in a mafia raid. I built myself from silence into perfection, a name people respected, a sound they couldn't forget. But at this university, something feels wrong. Eyes linger too long. Footsteps echo when no one's there. The past I buried is breathing down my neck. And then there's Vance. Loud where I'm quiet. Reckless where I'm controlled. Dangerous in ways I can't read. He watches me like he already knows something I don't. Like I'm part of a rhythm I never chose. I don't trust him. But somehow, I can't ignore him either. Vance I don't fail. I just don't care-about classes, rules, or anything this place pretends matters. But I need Adrian to pass, so I play along. Show up. Pretend. Then I hear him. Caius. Every note he plays feels too perfect, too controlled-like he's hiding something under all that precision. And I know secrets when I see them. I've lived in them. He thinks he's untouchable. Untamed. He's wrong. Because I see the cracks-the way he looks over his shoulder, the tension in his hands. Someone's already hunting him. And the worst part? I don't know if I want to protect him... or be the one who breaks him.

While it may have started as mere revenge, Ren soon realizes there may be something between him and Jace beyond desire. When sparks fly between Ren's lethal henchman Kieran and Jace as well, the original plot starts to seem less important - but actions always have their consequences. *** "You need to be used. You yearn for it. And I can use you in the most beautiful of ways imaginable." "So you want me in as one of your pawns," he replied, and squared up his shoulders.

When the Moon Cracked
"I was trapped under the surface, fighting to swim up...up...up. But some force, far stronger than me, was holding me down. My lungs were burning. My head was pounding. Darkness covered my eyes. I started screaming underwater, my last gulps of oxygen leaving my body, just like my hope of survival. And then, an explosion of white light hit me. I thought I was dying. Isn't this the logic turn of events? But I didn't die that night. I became something far worse than oblivion. Something that could outrun death for eternity". @All rights reserved. UNEDITED. (mostly)

Okay. So, let's all just agree that some stories can be pretty cliché, right. I mean - do you wanna tell me you never been reading a story and thought "yo, what the hell, that makes no sense, people don't act like that in real life, what's up with the cliché thing, damn."? Yeah, it's that feeling we're going against here. So this THING, whatever it is, will feature all your good ol' clichés, but from an aromantics point of view. Or just call it a parody or something, I dunno. You do you. Nice talking to ya. Same time next week?Complete
