Essence Kissed
(The Tethered Hearts Series, Book One)
"Loving him means dying for him."
I always thought love was supposed to heal, not ruin.
Liliana's changed. The kind of change that doesn't come from growing up-but from being consumed.
She says she's fine, that I worry too much. But I see the truth in her eyes: something's eating her alive.
Ever since she met him.
Now I'm in a race against something I can't explain, something dark, something not of this world.
And I'm terrified that loving him means she's already too far gone.

The Way We Mend | Book 1 | Author AifiHwa
"I didn't want this to burn out too fast. I wanted it to last, slow and steady, a burning ember that glowed for eternity." She's breaking under expectations. He's suffocating under love. Valeriana has spent her whole life performing as the perfect daughter while quietly falling apart under the weight of never being enough. Darius grew up in warmth and freedom, only to find that too much love can also be a cage. At Ceridian University, Valeriana just wants to survive another semester. Darius just wants to do his job and keep his heart out of it. But when their paths cross; the tutor sessions, quiet teasing, dinners, and moments that weren't supposed to matter turns into something neither expected. A bond built on shared exhaustion and unspoken care. They teach each other how to breathe again. How to laugh when the world feels too heavy. How to love without needing to be perfect. But as their connection deepens, so does the fear of losing control, of being too much, of not being enough. Because love, for them, isn't a rescue. It's a slow unravelling. A choice to stay when it would be easier to run. "The Way We Mend" is a tender, slow-burn romance about burnout, healing, and the quiet courage of being seen and loved as you are. {This is an original work written by me.

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
The Hitman's Girl
He's a hitman-cold, calculated, and untouchable. At least, that's what everyone says... until the night he walked into my life covered in secrets. I wasn't supposed to see him.

And now, we're both caught in a game neither of us can win-because when love meets a man like him, someone always gets hurt. Falling for him was a mistake. But he's the only one who's ever made me feel alive.

The unlikely union of light and darkness. "My soul is ruined; made of dead stars, and darkness. And yet, you managed to find light in my hollow heart. Beauty in my unholiness. You mended the fissures of my being. And for that, I shall worship you for an eternity, little crowe. For that, I will root my devotion, and expel my shadows unto you, so that we may be equals for centuries to come.... so that we may live on like an eclipse." ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ Regulus Winters is c̶h̶a̶r̶m̶i̶n̶g̶.

But, she can't seem to stay away from the mysterious boy. As fate has it, neither can he. And not for the reasons one might assume. She is a pawn to his game. An asset to his scheme. A victim to the growing pile of corpses. But, in a turn of events, Lilith Crowe will prove to be more, for their fate was always held with the stars, written in blood to tell a tale of light and darkness. One that will change, everything. *PREVIOUSLY CALLED; I AM NOT THE MOON 2020 @marisolmartinez unedited
