He never hit me.
Just threw things.
Shoved me.
Grabbed me hard enough to leave bruises.
But he didn't hit me.
So I told myself I was safe.
Layla thought she found love in Zayd-a man who made her feel seen for the first time. What began with midnight conversations and forehead kisses slowly spiraled into something darker. Something that took her voice, her confidence, her sense of reality.
He never punched her.
He never slapped her.
So how could it be abuse?
In her eyes, bruises weren't proof. Silence was survival. And love? Love was pain wrapped in apologies.
But, He Never Hit Me is a raw, intimate descent into the kind that doesn't leave bruises on your face - but breaks you from the inside out. For anyone who's ever convinced themselves it wasn't "that bad"... this is your story.

Subtitle: Where Love Broke Through Winter. Back Cover - Synopsis: Layla Clementine fled a marriage that turned her into a shadow. Stripped of her life, her art, and her voice, all she sought was to rebuild herself in silence. But winter wasn't over yet. One night, at the edge of a forest and under the blood of twilight, she crossed paths with a tall, bloodstained duke. A man of ice and storms, shaped by cruelty and silence. He never sought redemption. And she no longer believed in miracles. And yet, fate had a story in store for them, written in thorns, ink, and scars, then the dawn's rising that would bind their love together. As the past strikes again, and two men-one sweet as a disguised poison, the other cruel and obsessed in wanting to posses her-threatening to tear her new world away... Layla must decide: ¿How far is it worth loving a beast waiting for a heart that seeks to blossom, when you are learning to become human again and move beyond your past?
Killing Saints
She was sent to hunt him. He was waiting for her. In a world where loyalty is a weapon and love is a dangerous game, Layla Mercer walks a fine line between survival and betrayal. What begins as a mission turns into something far more twisted when the man she's meant to capture sees through her lies-and plays along. He's dangerous, charming, and far too perceptive-and he seems to know exactly what she's hiding. As the lines blur between hunter and hunted, Layla starts to wonder who's really pulling the strings... and how much of herself she's willing to lose. Every kiss is a lie. Every touch, a trap. Everyone has something to hide. Nothing is what it seems. And as secrets unravel and truths turn lethal, Layla finds herself trapped in a web of deception spun long before she ever entered the game. Some saints were made to be worshipped. Others were meant to burn. This is not the story you think it is. "To destroy the devil, I had to become his favorite saint."

It All Starts With Me
In a world where pain often hides behind forced smiles, this story unravels the intertwined lives of Zayd, Amira, and Layla-three souls carrying the weight of their pasts, yet yearning for solace and purpose. Zayd, a young man caught between familial expectations and personal dreams, returns to his hometown searching for meaning. There, he meets Layla, a resilient and independent woman whose strength masks the wounds of her own scarred history.

It illustrates how love, both romantic and platonic, can guide people through life's darkest moments and toward a brighter, hopeful horizon. With emotional depth and heartfelt moments, this tale explores the resilience of the human spirit, the transformative power of love, and the profound beauty of leaning on one another in times of need.Complete
Him.
Love is a powerful thing, and when used for evil, it can destroy everything, and everyone, in its wake. But if that feeling of love suddenly turns to something indescribable, would you let yourself fall, not knowing what lies at the bottom? Or would you live on the sidelines, watching everyone else bask in what you could partake of for yourself? Love is a deep emotion, one that can make a person feel whole, or break a person into a million pieces. When you meet Him, your heart makes that choice. Whether it's ready or not. »»»» This book is a work of fiction. It contains harsh language, drug and alcohol references, sexual content, and abuse.

When Silence Fell in Love 💗
Rhea's life is quiet. Not peaceful quiet - the kind that feels like walking on eggshells. She studies medicine, wears skirts and soft smiles, and keeps her world small so it doesn't fall apart. Zayn's life? Loud. Famous, flirty, and always in the spotlight. A singer. A dancer. An influencer with millions watching. He lives fast, talks back, and doesn't care what anyone thinks. When their worlds crash, it's not cute. It's messy. He calls her "nerd." She calls him "a walking ego." They hate each other. Until they don't. He falls first - when he sees the sadness behind her silence. She falls harder - when she realizes his loudness hides a kind of loneliness only she understands. This isn't just another love story. It's about scars, safety, slow trust, and the way someone can ruin you just by being gentle.
Fed to The Dogs: (König x Reader)
You didn't know how you got where you were now. One minute you were in your apartment, and the next you were laying, chained to a concrete wall with a major headache and no memory of what happened. You were able to move a little bit, but not more than a few feet. You could hear cheering through the concrete walls that surrounded you. What you couldn't see, however, was the mountain of a man watching you from the shadows of that room. (König x Reader)Complete
