Dla dorosłych

Zahara Bennett's Sundays were sacred-the only moments untouched by the shadow of her father's dangerous world. As the daughter of Jeremiah "Big J" Bennett, one of Atlanta's most feared kingpins, Zahara's life is anything but ordinary. Still, within the walls of their home, she felt safe-until the day her father's secrets violently shattered their peace.

Now, forced into hiding with Malik Carter, her father's trusted but mysterious bodyguard, Zahara finds herself battling resentment, fear, and unexpected attraction. Malik is disciplined, dangerous, and off-limits in every way. But danger has a way of breaking all the rules.

In a world built on power, trust can be deadly, and love might be the greatest risk of all.

Perfect for fans of urban romance, forbidden love, bodyguard romance, enemies-to-lovers, and romantic thrillers.Wszelkie Prawa Zastrzeżone

Bound autorstwa emerald3917

Cole Mercer doesn't make mistakes. Cold, disciplined, and unshakably arrogant, the FBI agent has built his career on catching the world's most elusive criminals-and no one has eluded him more than Sabine Moretti, the infamous jewel thief whose name alone ignites whispers in every city she's touched. Sabine Moretti has spent her life proving him wrong. Clever, daring, and far too infuriating for her own good, she's eluded him at every turn-and now she's chained, furious, and trapped in the back of a swat truck. Now, she isn't just a target. She's his assignment. Shackled and bound for trial, she's supposed to sit quietly while he gets her to justice. But when their convoy is ambushed on a deserted stretch of road, Cole and Sabine are forced into a dangerous partnership neither wants-and neither can afford to trust. With killers closing in and nowhere safe to run, Cole must keep the woman he despises alive, while Sabine seizes every chance to needle, mock, and unravel him with her wicked smile. Hours trapped together, life-or-death stakes, and unavoidable proximity ignite a forbidden attraction neither is willing to admit... until desire threatens everything they swore to uphold. Cole Mercer might be her captor. Sabine Moretti might be his undoing. And as the road stretches on, the only thing more dangerous than the hunters outside... might just be the tension between them.

The Traitor's Wife autorstwa MaryRose_Author

My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

Destiny autorstwa Little_Princess-a

She was forced into his life. He was already in love with someone else. To Zayn, Megha was nothing but a burden-a name on paper, a responsibility he never asked for. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. He made sure she knew she didn't belong in his world. But fate is cruel. The more he pushed her away, the deeper she sank into his chaos. And when his obsession began to surface... it was no longer about love. It was about possession. Because even if he didn't want her heart- He sure as hell wasn't going to let anyone else have her. "She was his responsibility... until she became his obsession." "A forced vow. A burning desire. A destiny neither of them chose." This story will have two different perspectives. I hope you gonna enjoy my new story. Happy reading. Don't forget to show love .🖤 📌 Author's Note - Please Read Before Starting Destiny is a story built on flawed characters, messy emotions, and the kind of love that doesn't follow the rules. If you're looking for a clean-cut romance with clear heroes and villains - this may not be it. And one more thing if you're looking for a strong female lead ba bye it's not for you. Don't read if you want strong female, I warn you skip if you don't like it. Don't mixed reel with real life. This story is my pure imagination not reality. I am new at writing. It's my new found hobby. I am still learning. I know this story is not perfect. But it's my imagination. Hope you guys will like it. And will try to write better stories next time.

The Caretaker He Bought autorstwa puffy_1304

"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)
