Ruin me softly
Synopsis: Ava Sinclair and Tristan Mercer were inseparable as children-two lost souls who found solace in each other's broken homes and whispered secrets. They promised to be each other's safe haven, to never let the world break them. But promises mean nothing when betrayal cuts deeper than love. At eighteen, Tristan shattered Ava's world, turning his back on her when she needed him most. He left her with nothing but scars and a heart full of hate. Now, ten years later, he's back, more ruthless than ever-a man shaped by violence and power, the heir to a criminal empire that rules the city from the shadows. And Ava? She's the only one standing in his way. She's not the fragile girl he abandoned-she's built walls no one can break. But Tristan doesn't knock; he destroys. He wants her submission, her surrender, and he won't stop until she either bows to him... or burns with him. Their past is a battlefield of pain and betrayal, their present a war of lust and vengeance. But in the ashes of what they once were, something darker, more dangerous, ignites. Hate was supposed to be the end of them, yet it might just be the beginning. Warning: Ruin Me Softly is an extreme dark romance that explores themes of obsession, power, and moral ambiguity. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

To Breathe Again
"I want to capture this moment and save it forever." He looked at her, watching the way her cheeks flushed a deep red as he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "You're breathtaking. You have no idea how gorgeous you are, do you?" His voice was a low whisper, sending shivers down her spine. She tried to hide her smile but failed. Slowly, he leaned in, his breath warm against her neck. "Would you like me to make you feel good?" Her heart raced as she nodded, barely able to speak. His hands moved down her legs, teasing her, building anticipation. She leaned back, letting herself get lost in the moment, her mind swirling with the intoxicating sensations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michelle Garcia is doing the best she can to get back on her feet along with her 17 year old son.

Shackled ( Bound Series: Book Two) COMPLETED
Cassandra Ramirez never believed in love at first sight-but undeniable, all-consuming chemistry? That was a different story. Taking a job as Ian Anderson's assistant was supposed to be a fresh start, but working for the ruthless, no-nonsense billionaire was more than just a challenge. He was disciplined, demanding, and built an empire on order and control. Love, to him, was a liability-marriage nothing more than a contract, a cage he refused to be locked in. But behind closed doors? He was a temptation she couldn't afford. Cass, on the other hand, was -quirky, clumsy, and reckless enough to believe in destiny. A tarot reader once told her she was meant for "something bigger and better" (and not just in the metaphorical sense). But fate had been anything but kind. A scam gone wrong, debts she couldn't pay, and threats that left her with no choice had driven her across the ocean with nothing but quick wit and sheer determination. She swore she wouldn't fall for Ian, especially after he made it clear that what was between them was purely physical. But in his world of control, will he be willing to risk losing it all for her? And in her reckless whirlwind, will she be able to control the one thing she never has-her own heart? Determined to prove she won't wait around for a man unwilling to fight for her, Cass flirts, dates, and reminds Ian that she is no one's possession. But the more she pulls away, the harder he holds on. Because in this dangerous game of power, passion, and pride-one of them will have to surrender. And neither of them knows how.Complete
