By day, they judged her. She was the girl everyone whispered about. By night, she was free-the one who danced under neon lights and lived for the night. To other people, she was nothing more than a reckless party girl-someone linked to too many men who looked her way. But one fateful night, lost in the haze of alcohol and desire, she met a stranger-Lucian Evander Vergara, who would change everything. A one-night stand was supposed to be just that-one night. Until two pink lines forced her to face a reality she never expected. Now, she's left to face the consequences of a life she thought she had control over. With no idea who the stranger is , she must navigate a world that never stopped judging her. Will she rise above the rumors, or will midnight be the only place she truly belongs? 

Because after midnight, everything changes.

His Wicked Claim (18+) (book#1 Redemption series) by dollescent_12

******** "You like being tied up, don't you?" he taunts, his mouth near my ear. "So I can uncover every secret you keep buried. So you can pretend to resist when your body is begging for me?" "What are you doing?" I cry out, my voice cracking. "You said you'd only touch me if I wanted it!" His gaze sears into mine. "Your body does want it, love. More than you'll ever admit. It's my right-my duty as your soon to be husband-to give you what you crave." 18+‼️‼️ ******** In a crowded nightclub, our gazes lock across the chaos. One look is all it takes-his presence is magnetic, dangerous. Broad shoulders, eyes like a predator, and an aura that warns me he is not a man I should ever want. Yet I can't stop the way my pulse races. A week later, fate puts him in my path again at a glittering event. I should've turned away. Instead, I stayed-and saw the truth with my own eyes. I watched him end a life without hesitation. The mysterious stranger isn't just a man. He's the ruthless kingpin of India's most feared cartel. And once he notices me, his obsession is relentless. But I am not a bargaining chip. I will not be sold off to cover my father's debts. I will not be broken the way my mother was. So I run. Only he hunts what's his. And to him, I already am. What the devil wants... the devil takes. ⸻ ⚠️ Warning: This is a dark, mature dark romance. The hero is possessive, violent, and at times irredeemable. This story includes explicit content, graphic themes, and situations that may be disturbing or offensive to some readers. Recommended for readers 18+ only.

BLOOD AND LACE by niquexxx

BLOOD AND LACE "He said I was his salvation. I never knew salvation could feel like a cage." She was a poor girl who wanted freedom. He was a mafia boss who wanted her. When their worlds collided, love stopped being a fairytale... and became a weapon. ------- ️ STORY WARNING This story contains themes of dark romance, possession, violence, and emotional obsession. It's not your typical love story - it's a tale of passion that blurs the line between devotion and destruction. Read at your own risk. ------- INTRODUCTION They say love can save you. They never said it could destroy you too. I was just an ordinary girl - broke, tired, and invisible. The kind of person the world forgets. Until the night I saw something I wasn't supposed to see. A murder. A secret. A man with eyes like midnight and a voice that could both ruin and worship you. Adrian Velasco. The name everyone feared to whisper. The heir to the Velasco syndicate - cold, ruthless, untouchable. He should've killed me. But instead... he took me. Locked me in a mansion made of marble and lies. Called me his. He said it was to keep me safe. He said I belonged to him. And somewhere between his cruelty and his care, I forgot how to live without him. Because when a devil loves you, something even the devil feared

Undestined Love by celestefantazsia

Sa mundong puno ng "what if's" at "meant to be", kwento ito nina Bianca-isang strong, socially vibrant na dalaga na natutong magtago ng sakit sa likod ng mga ngiti-at si Eli, isang tahimik ngunit malalim na binata na may sariling laban sa mga taong inaasahan niya sa mundo. Sa isang di inaasahang banggaan nagsimula ang koneksyon nilang tila itinadhana, ngunit habang lumalalim ang ugnayan, mas lumalalim din ang tanong: Hanggang saan ang kaya mong ibigay kung hindi ka sigurado kung pipiliin ka rin niya? Isang kwento ng mga pag-uusap na bitin, mga yakap na may dalang takot, at mga pusong nagtangkang magmahal kahit alam nilang maaaring hindi sila ang para sa isa't-isa sa ending.

The Silent Pulse by Jihara

They said she was weak. They were right-until the night she bled light. Rhys Cuevas, an MSU-General Santos student with a quiet soul and a scarred past, had always been the girl who stayed invisible. Until a near-death attack outside campus awakened something ancient within her- a heartbeat that didn't belong to this world. Now, strange lights haunt the shores of Queen Tuna Park. Shadows move even when there's no sun. And every time Rhys's heart skips a beat, the city trembles. Then came Paulo Larazabal-exiled from the secretive Order of Solas, a man with darkness etched in his blood and sins he refuses to name. He was sent to find her. He was supposed to stop her. But the moment their powers collided, something impossible happened- their heartbeats synchronized. Together, they became the Silent Pulse-a living anomaly, twice as powerful as the enemy the world fears most: Velantra, the devourer of light. But as Rhys learns to control the divine fire running through her veins, she begins to question everything. Was she chosen to save the world... or to end it? "When her heart stopped beating, the world started fighting." In a city where gods once walked and shadows still whisper, two broken souls will discover that love isn't always the cure- sometimes, it's the weapon destiny has been waiting for.

Cursed Petals: The Elemental Heiress by InkBySheila_24

Celeste Cruz lived an ordinary life - a quiet bookworm who found comfort in fantasy novels, especially The Four Realms, a story about kingdoms blessed by elemental powers. But one night, while reading under the dim light of her lamp, headphones on and eyes heavy from exhaustion, fate decided to turn her world upside down. A screech of tires. A blinding light.

Because unlike the villainess in the story, Celeste can wield all elements - fire, water, air, and earth - and more. Now, in a magical university filled with secrets and dangerous beauty, she must survive the path written for her while tangled between four men with powers and hearts of their own - A cold prince who hides his pain behind his silence, A mature knight who knows too much, A childish mage who can't stop smiling, And a best friend who promised to protect her, even from herself. In a world where magic decides fate, will she follow the story's ending... or rewrite it herself? 💫

Bound by Shadows by Allora_davy2

Celeste Romario was never meant to fall in love. As the CEO of her family's empire, she was raised to value power over passion, control over chaos. Her marriage to Elijah Blaze was a carefully orchestrated deal-a merger between two corporate dynasties, built on wealth and influence, not love. Behind closed doors, their relationship is cold and distant, their perfect public image nothing more than a well-crafted illusion. Elijah has another woman. Celeste has her company. And love? Love has no place in their world. But then, Ace Astor steps into her life. A former soldier with a past of his own, Ace is assigned as Celeste's personal bodyguard-a man bound by duty, honor, and an unspoken rule: never get too close. But from the moment he enters her world, he sees what others don't. He sees the cracks in her armor, the silent war she fights, the loneliness she refuses to acknowledge. And against all reason, he wants to protect her from more than just physical threats. Their connection is forbidden, their attraction a slow-burning fire that neither of them dares to name. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to resist. And in a world where reputation is everything, crossing the line could cost Celeste everything-her empire, her freedom, and the dangerous wrath of her husband. But some desires refuse to be denied. And the more Celeste fights it, the deeper she falls. In a world where love is a weakness, will Celeste risk it all for the one man who was never meant to be hers? #1 heartheart 10/03/2025 #4 heartheart 17/03/2025
