Hung Jury is a steamy romance and legal thriller about two jurors trapped in a high-stakes trial inspired by the Diddy case.

When allegations of jury tampering surface, the judge orders the jury to be sequestered, forcing strangers into close quarters as tensions-and attractions-rise.

Our protagonists couldn't be more different: a bright-eyed law student determined to prove herself and a jaded criminal defense attorney with his own hidden agenda. After the defendant, D. Diddit, opts for a larger firm to represent him, the attorney lies his way onto the jury, intent on sabotaging the trial from the inside.

As the trial unfolds, sparks fly, secrets unravel, and loyalties are tested. But when the lines between right and wrong blur, will their growing connection survive the truth? Or will it all come crashing down in the courtroom?

This book is on track to become BookTok's newest obsession!

He was never supposed to touch her. But now that he has-he'll never let her go. Daniel King doesn't believe in love. He believes in power, control, and taking what's his-without apology. So when a veiled, soft-spoken woman saves his life, he decides two things: She belongs to him. And he will ruin her... beautifully. Aniya Durrani wants nothing from the dangerous stranger she pulled from death-especially not his obsession. But Daniel doesn't understand boundaries. And he doesn't handle rejection. He's the devil in a tailored suit. She's the prayer he was never meant to hear. But fate doesn't care about what's sacred. He's going to touch her. Break her. Worship her. And nothing-not even God-can stop him. A dark, obsessive, slow-burn romance between a dangerous don and the devout girl who dares to say no.

Melancholy by justmikame
47 parts Complete Mature
Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.
