Bia, a romance writer with a vibrant soul, was stuck. After months battling writer's block, she found inspiration in Eros-a man of intense control, devastating charm, and a brilliant legal mind dedicated to justice. Their connection was immediate, intense, and hot.
But their fast-burning romance quickly faces a brutal test. When a highly dangerous new case lands on Eros's desk, the escalating threats are too severe for simple legal tactics. The situation forces Eros to utilize the one thing he swore he'd left behind.
Excerpt:
I moved toward him, a slow, deliberate walk, his gaze locked on mine even as he set his phone aside. Standing before him, I placed my hands on his shoulders, a soft, teasing caress. Straddling his lap, I wrapped my hands around his neck. "About that late-night snack," I murmured, my voice a low, husky whisper against his ear. His breath hitched, and his hand moved up my back, tracing the curve of my spine, his fingers threading through my hair. The sudden, gentle pull on my hair, tilting my head back, was a jolt of pure desire. "Which snack are we referring to?" he asked, his nose brushing against my neck, followed by soft kisses. A moan escaped my lips. I'd thought I was in control. "Honestly," I breathed, "I'm dangerously close to simply letting you devour me," I confessed.

Trust in You
I woke up in the morning and felt the pain in a place I've never hurt before. I took a peek at my own body, and my mind went blank. My eyes found a man who was lying beside me, sleeping, and my mind brought me back to me all the crazy things that happened last night. My 2 years boyfriend dumped me, I was drunk and went to my hotel room alone. Someone climbed on me. To say that he was handsome is an understatement. If an angel could marry a devil, then I'm sure he was their son. But that was not the point! He came to me and kissed me. One thing led to another.. God! This guy took my virginity. And that was not the worst. Guess what! He was my new boss. I was his new executive assistant. To top it, my ex boyfriend accused my boss that he raped me. What should I do? Trust my ex boyfriend who just dumped me? Or.. trust my new boss who was sexy as hell (that's not the point, by the way) and the one who took my virginity?

Accidentally Yours. Season 1
Harsha : "Come in." He said, not even bothering to look up from his work. He was wearing a beige linen suit with a crisp white shirt underneath.Okay, not bad," I thought, even though he looked hot. Not that I would ever admit it, of course! Akshu : "Yes, sir, do you need something? You called me in the middle of the celebrations-not that I'm complaining or anything." I clearly stated it sarcastically, showing my displeasure at being called out of all the classroom representatives. He finally looked up and locked his gaze on me, staring without blinking for what felt like minutes. We held each other's eyes, as if time itself had come to a standstill around us. His intense gaze held something I couldn't quite describe, and slowly, he stood up, still saying nothing. The air between us crackled with unspoken tension. He slowly began to take steps toward me-step, step, step... I instinctively started to back away, gulping as he closed the distance between us, striding toward me like I was his prey. He finally reached me, pinning me against the wall, and just as I was about to say something, he leaned in closer......... Harsha : "Shhhhhh." I was scared, my heart racing like a drum. Suddenly, he leaned in closer, his face inches from mine, and...

My fingers travelled through his hairs as he teased me with his lips playfully. Tracing my collarbone and then making it all the way up to my ears. My fingers wrapped around the back of his neck and I crashed my lips on his, perfectly entwining with the buttery movement. Our lips parted as our tongues met, dancing and twirling as if discovering each inch. The continuation of his nibbling at my lower lip dragged it much deeper into more velvety chemistry and more passionately electrifying. When our lips parted, we were utterly breathless. I just lost myself, sitting on his lap and staring into his eyes. "Shall we have breakfast?" I whispered. "I'm having mine right now," he whispered as his lips brushed against my ear and he gently bit my earlobe. "Ah!" a silent gasp left my lips automatically and I felt his smirk against my skin. π₯Black and Gold Flames Awards Β© SANYUKTAComplete

Sequel to His Butterfly Eleven long months have slipped away, and the echoes of their mother's laughter still elude Asher and Alexia. The warmth of her embrace remains a distant memory, leaving an ache in our hearts. Tears stream down my face as I envision Avery absent from the joyous celebration of our children's first birthday. I strive to be a pillar of strength for us both, but the weight of her absence grows heavier with each passing day, as she misses out on the abundance of love that surrounds her. In this time of hardship, Emily and Brendan have emerged as steadfast companions. Emily faithfully visits, tenderly combing Avery's hair and engaging in heartfelt conversations as if she were awake. Her feeble attempts at humor directed at Avery serve as a gentle reminder that, no matter how dire the circumstances, we can find solace in one another's presence. Meanwhile, Brendan takes it upon himself to keep Avery connected to the world beyond her bedside. Each day, he immerses himself in the twins' lives, regaling them with amusing and endearing tales of their mother's youth, ensuring that her spirit remains alive in their hearts. I miss you, Avery, I miss your laughter and dazzling smiles. I miss how you challenge me at every turn. I never knew that the world was brighter when you smiled your dazzling smile upon me. That the air was fresher when you were in my presence. That you were my true home, a place where I could be free to be myself. You are my heart it beats only for you and our kids.

Life Lesson #1: If you are planning on going to a nightclub in the middle of sketchy, dark woods, don't. Life Lesson #2: If there are too many attractive, healthy people in said nightclub, be alarmed and rethink Life Lesson #1. Life Lesson #3: If you were foolish enough to ignore rules 1 and 2, I suggest you haul ass. Aeress is one of those special people who obviously need a couple more life lessons... ----------------------------------------------------------------- He chuckled. It was dry but it was an addictive sound. "No," he brought his nose against her collar, "not at all." His lips skimmed over her exposed skin. She sighed at his touch, riding the sweet, overwhelming waves that came with. "You've barely touched me," Aeress had her hands skimming up the back of his neck and in between his strands. "And I'm falling apart." His voice was a little hollow and this worried her. "The bond we have is responsible for that." She tugged at him until he looked up. For a moment she just basked in how handsome he was. "I don't think so," she leaned in for a kiss, "I think that you are just about the most fascinating man I have ever met. And we have only just met. I don't think a bond can simply erase the will of an independent woman like me." His eyes came to life with a blazing fire. He closed the distance between them and kissed sensation back into her body, setting off every nerve in her flesh. Everything came to a boiling point, sizzling with need. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°° Highest Rank: #7 in Werewolf, #79 in RomanceComplete

Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper.
