FOR ALL THAT BURNS by WrittenbyMariaMM

Wahida Dalva never planned to fall in love with him. It happened quietly, for her love was not a shelter but a demolition. It stripped her bare, humiliated her, and left her exiled from the guarded life she'd curated for her. But ruin has a way of shifting the ground beneath you, of rewriting the rules you thought were permanent. Out of that chaos stepped a man who should never have noticed her. Older, colder, untouchable, he existed in a space of quiet power, a man who seemed impossible to claim. And yet, when he reached for her, when he touched her, the world seemed to ignite and burn clean, leaving only the stark, undeniable clarity of what she had always needed. He taught her that love doesn't have to be pure to be real. That safety doesn't always come from good men. That sometimes, the only thing left to do with what's broken is to set it on fire and start again. For All That Burns is a dark, intricate romance about survival, devotion, and the extraordinary danger of being chosen by someone you were never meant to have, a story where ruin and desire coexist in a single, combustible flame.

BLOOD STAINED CROWN by Darlingcharming03

In the kingdom of Valtoria, queens are meant to be soft, obedient, and disposable. Seraphina was supposed to be a pawn-a fragile doll molded by the hands of men who sought to use her. But they underestimated her. At sixteen, she turned the game on them, painting the palace red with their blood. With every execution, every whispered plea for mercy drowned beneath her laughter, she became something far worse than a ruler. She became a monster. Now, at eighteen, she rules alone, feared as the Mad Queen-the Butcher of Valtoria. Her kingdom prospers under her reign of terror, but a queen without a king is an invitation for war. Enemies lurk in the shadows, waiting for the moment to strike. Suitors come not with love, but with hidden daggers, each one eager to claim her throne. But then he arrives. A man unlike any she has ever met-one who does not kneel, does not flinch beneath her gaze. A man with secrets as dark as her own, whose smirk is a challenge, whose touch ignites something unfamiliar within her. He does not seek to tame her; he seeks to match her. And for the first time in her life, Seraphina wonders: Has she finally met someone she cannot break? Or has she found the one person who can destroy her? A tale of blood, power, and the kind of love that consumes.
