In the shadowy underworld of Bangkok, power is the only currency, and betrayal is a language everyone speaks fluently. First, the enigmatic and ruthless leader of a powerful crime syndicate, rules his empire with an iron grip and an icy heart. Trust is a luxury he can't afford-until Khao walks into his life.
Khao, a street-smart hustler with nothing to lose, finds himself ensnared in First's dangerous web after meddling in the wrong territory. Bold and unyielding, Khao offers his skills and connections as a bargaining chip to stay alive, unwittingly igniting a game of power and desire that neither man can control.
As First tests Khao's loyalty through harrowing trials, the tension between them escalates into an electrifying mix of dominance and submission. But in a world where alliances shift like sand and every move could be their last, they'll discover that the greatest threat to their survival isn't the enemies outside-it's the emotions they're too afraid to name.
Shadows of Desire is a gripping tale of dark romance and forbidden passion, where love blooms in the unlikeliest of places-between a man who's learned to trust no one and another who refuses to bow to anyone. Will their dangerous attraction be their ultimate salvation, or will it drag them both into the abyss?

"Growing up, my mother always told me one thing; bad company corrupted good morals. I didn't believe her, didn't believe those words she'd always said to me with such conviction. I'd always thought myself strong, always thought myself good enough to corrupt those bad morals. That was until I crossed paths with a man so lethal, a man so utterly consumed with darkness. And gradually, his words of poison would lace my system, dilute my sanity and leave me begging at his feet for more..." It was hate at first sight... I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE IMAGES USED IN THIS BOOK.

Bound By His Shadow ( The Vincolo Series - Season 1)
I never believed in MONSTERS until I met him. Men like him? Oh, they don't walk in the light. Nobody says their names out loud, their DEEDS aren't recorded, but you'll see their HANDIWORK everywhere if you know where to look. It all started that one night. At the time, it seemed like nothing, just another evening. Little did I know, that was the night everything would change. The first time I stumbled into his DOMAIN was purely by accident, I had no clue what I was walking into. But the second time? That was different. I went there on purpose, driven by a job. Nothing personal, just BUSSINESS, or so I thought. Something I could easily leave behind when it was all done. Oh, how naive I was! His world isn't one you can just wander in and out of without a scratch. It's a place built on unspoken agreements, lies that dig deep, and truths too dangerous for most to handle. Every moment spent there pulls me further into his gravity. I thought I could maintain my distance, but somehow, I found myself getting closer to him,much closer than I ever planned or wanted. Close enough to almost forget what he really is. And that's the trouble because deep down, I still know how it ends. If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything. That I was PLAYING the game. But no, not once was I ever the PLAYER. Just a PAWN in this bloody game of BLOOD & THRONE !! ____________________ ⚠️ WARNING :- THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES AND STRONG LANGUAGE.

His Master
This story includes BDSM and is recommended for 18+ and mature audiences. Damon Steele. It's all Cyrus Frehley has known for the past year. Cyrus watches, follows, and all around stalks Damon - "sometimes." Cyrus loves Damon's personality, sense of fashion, tattoos, face, voice, and of course Damon's super manly man body. Cyrus wishes he could see the man naked, but he can only imagine that in his dreams since he'll never get to know Damon personally. Cyrus on the other hand is a stick compared to Damon. He's what people call a "nerd" with his shaggy, black hair and black-framed glasses. He even uses his hair as an advantage to sneak peeks at Damon from afar during class. One Friday night, Cyrus decides to follow Damon out of campus grounds for the first time. He tails behind Damon and is not so surprised to watch him enter a club, but unfortunately for Cyrus, it's a club which only members are allowed to enter. So he buys a pass the very next day in hopes to see Damon and does, but it's not exactly what he expected to find. There on the ground kneeled a naked Damon - gagged, caged, and leashed. 𐮜𐮜𐮜 Warning: This story contains rape, not done to the main characters, but to two of the side characters later on in the story. This story is not very drama-filled nor plot heavy(?). I just kinda wanted to write a story with the two main characters' dynamic and do some "normal day-to-day" life sort of vibe. 6/16/25 - 11/7/25Complete
