Nora Brooks has spent her life saving others - as a doctor, as a survivor, as someone who knows how fragile peace can be. But the night she crosses paths with Sebastian Rivera, everything she knows about safety, control, and trust shatters.

He's dangerous.
Cold.
A man who built his empire out of silence and fear.
And yet, the first time he looks at her, she feels something she shouldn't: seen.

When fate throws them together in the aftermath of violence, Nora becomes the one thing Sebastian never thought he'd need - a reason to stop fighting and start feeling. But falling for a man with blood on his hands comes at a price, and soon she's trapped between the world she's always known... and the man she can't seem to walk away from.

He wants to protect her.
She wants to heal him.
But love, in Sebastian Rivera's world, comes with consequences - and saving each other might cost them everything.

Because sometimes, redemption isn't born in forgiveness...
it's born in fire.All Rights Reserved

READ TRIGGER WARNINGS! In a world where power is the ultimate weapon and betrayal is currency, the line between hero and villain doesn't just blur... it shatters. She's the woman you're warned about. She's selfish and deadly, you don't see her until you feel the knife in your back. He's the man everyone fears. He's cold-blooded and dark, the embodiment of vengeance in an expensive suit. They should have destroyed each other. But instead, they made a deal. She's playing a game with no rules. He's rewriting them as he goes. Together, they're a storm no one can outrun. Loyalties are broken, alliances burned, and blood spills in their wake. But when the smoke clears, only one thing remains certain, trusting the devil doesn't make you safe... It makes you just like him. She's the sinner. He's the executioner. And in their obsession, no one gets out alive. Some stories don't have heroes. Some don't need them. This is theirs. Outlaw - where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law.

The Cunning (18+) by CLHarper

Everything changed the night they took her. Ripped from her mundane life, Madison is thrust into the violent world of trafficking, where her only choices are adapt or die. Her captor, Jase, is as cruel and relentless as the men who pay him. Cold, calculating, and fiercely loyal to the underworld he serves, he likes to be in control. But Madison was never going to be anyone's average victim. Beautifully cunning, she ignites something lethal within Jase. As the lines between predator and prey blur, Madison is drawn deeper into Jase's dark orbit, as he finds himself captivated in ways he can't afford to admit. In a world where trust is a death sentence and love is a punchline, there are no heroes, only the willing and the unwilling and Madison needs to decide just how willing she is before her time runs out. *

Naomi Brooks is everything he's not-pure, soft-spoken, raised on hymns and hallelujahs. A church girl with a kind heart and a secret longing for something more. Dave East is everything she's been warned about-ruthless, feared, raised on pain and silence. A man who doesn't beg, doesn't break, and doesn't believe in salvation. But when a quiet prayer crosses paths with a silent war, Naomi becomes the one light in Dave's dark world. And he'll burn it all down to protect her. As their worlds collide, secrets unravel, blood is spilled, and faith is tested. Because some love stories aren't about fairy tales... They're about survival. And when Dave finally uncovers the truth about who killed his mother, love might not be enough to stop him from getting revenge.

"𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒐𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏" 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒑?" She thought she had her life figured out. A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive. He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby." Some hold you like you're a prayer-then break you like a curse. Because he has secrets. Dark ones. Dangerous ones. The kind of truths that can't be buried without blood. So now the real question is... Will she uncover who he truly is-before it's too late? Can love survive when it's soaked in lies and obsession? And when she finally sees the monster behind the man... Will she run? Or will she stay?

Yours To Break by LittleAppleOrchard

Some people will break your heart. Others will make it their mission. The night should have been ours. Instead, one phone call shattered everything. Clara Hart thought she'd outrun her past - until a voice she hoped to never hear again slipped through the line with five chilling words: Don't forget who you belong to. Now she and Jace are trapped in a game they didn't agree to play, stalked by someone who knows too much and gets bolder by the day. Every photo, every message, every shadow on the street feels closer than the last. Jace swears he'll protect her, no matter how far he has to go. But when the threats turn personal and a betrayal cuts close to home, Clara will have to decide who she can trust... and how much of her heart she's willing to risk. Because some things aren't meant to be fixed. They're meant to be broken.

Honey Whiskey Hearts by midnightaura34

They say love can either heal you or break you. For her, it did both. After a life of keeping her walls high and her secrets higher, she's thrown into a world where danger wears a charming smile, and trust becomes a gamble she can't afford to lose. In a city that never sleeps-and never forgives-she finds herself caught between old scars and new desires. But when loyalty is tested, and the past claws its way back, will she be strong enough to choose herself over everything she thought she wanted?

B R O K E N by TheeLoverGirlyTae

Zaire isn't the type of man people dream about. He's the one they whisper about. The one mothers warn their daughters to stay away from. He's sharp edges, sleepless nights, and a past too heavy to carry. On the outside, he's all rage and silence. On the inside, he's drowning-haunted by mistakes, chained by loyalty, and convinced love isn't made for men like him. Then Imani comes crashing into his world. She's light where he's darkness, but she's got scars of her own. And no matter how many walls he builds, she keeps finding the cracks. Zaire doesn't know if she's the cure he's been running from...or the wound that finally destroys him. Because in his world, love isn't soft. It's survival. And sometimes survival leaves you BROKEN.
