Damien Blackwood doesn't feel things the way normal people do. Love? A lie. Empathy? Weakness. He lives in shadows, finding beauty in the silence of his victims-until Ivy Monroe stumbles into his world like a melody in the chaos.
She's light, softness, and kindness wrapped in one perfect package. The kind of girl who should stay far away from men like him. But Damien doesn't let go. Once he sets his eyes on her, she becomes his.
Even if she doesn't know it yet.
As Ivy begins to sense a presence always near, a danger lurking in her calm world, she starts to unravel truths no one should ever know. And the closer she gets to Damien... the more she falls.
Because love is twisted.
And monsters can fall in love too

Never his
She loved in silence, but silence was never enough...A Love That Was Never Meant to Be... Lyra Hart loved Damien Sinclair in a way the universe never allowed-with quiet glances, stolen moments, and a heart that beat only for him. But to Damien, she was just a familiar presence, she was just his sister's best friend-nothing more, nothing less, a shadow in the backdrop of his life. He belonged to another, and Lyra? She was never his to begin with. So, she smiled at his wedding, swallowed her unspoken love, and walked away. Years passed, and distance was supposed to heal what love had broken. But then came the call-the one that pulled her back to a place she swore she'd never return to. Damien's wife was dead. Murdered. And the man she once knew had vanished, leaving behind only grief, rage, and an obsession to unearth the truth. Now, as she stands beside him once more, bound by a past she never truly escaped, Lyra makes a choice-to help him chase the shadows of a mystery far darker than either of them imagined. Even if it means standing in the ruins of a love that was never hers. A slow-burn tale of longing and loss, love and betrayal-where the heart aches for what it was never meant to hold, and the truth waits in the silence, waiting to be found.

He explains his grandfather's will, he must be married for one year to inherit full control of Blackwood Industries. She can name her price. Aria glares. "I'm not for sale."

Where Forever Ends

The kind you don't walk away from. And when he touches her, it's with fire, fangs, and a hunger that makes the world blur around the edges. She should've run. She didn't. Every night since, she's fallen deeper into something tangled and consuming. He vanishes. She aches. He returns. She burns. This isn't romance. This is wreckage. And in Damien's arms, Gabrielle doesn't just lose herself- She becomes something new. Something dangerous. Because when you fall for a monster at first sight... You don't climb out. You evolve.![Pretty Boy [Completed and Revised Version]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/132328651-256-k131022.jpg)

The Echo of Us
In the city that never sleeps, she was the one thing that made him pause. Damien Blackwell has everything: money, power, and control. But behind the polished veneer and the cold steel of his empire, he's haunted by secrets he's never dared to share. Rory Bellamy has always been the one in the background, fixing other people's stories and never daring to write her own. Her world is quiet, measured in words on a page and late-night edits at a corner café. Until him. When their worlds collide, neither of them is ready for the slow, consuming burn that begins to smolder between them. In the hushed corners of the midnight café and stolen glances across rain-soaked city streets, a fragile trust begins to form, built on whispered fears and the simple touch of a hand that says, I see you. But Damien's world is full of the shadow of a past that wants to claim him and a future he's not sure he deserves. And Rory's heart has been broken too many times to trust that a man like him could ever be her safe place. As the nights grow longer and the tension crackles with every lingering touch, they'll have to decide: Can you surrender to love when you've spent your whole life learning how to stand alone? Can you be soft with someone when the world has always told you to be hard? This is their story. A slow-burn romance that dares to believe that even the most guarded hearts can learn to open...and that sometimes, the gentlest love can be the most powerful of all.Complete
All the Gold in the World
Damien Wolfe is a billionaire tech mogul. The world sees him as cold, calculated, and untouchable-the kind of man who made himself from nothing and now lives in a penthouse above the city, alone by choice. But beneath the success, Damien is hollow. No matter how many awards he wins or how high his company soars, something vital is missing: love. Enter Matt Monroe, a struggling artist juggling gallery shifts and mural commissions to keep the lights on. He's passionate, sarcastic, full of color and chaos-and not the least bit impressed by billionaires. When Damien anonymously purchases one of Matt's paintings, fate (and maybe a stubborn coffee spill) throws them into each other's orbit. Matt doesn't care about Damien's fortune. He sees the man beneath the title-the one who hides vulnerability behind sharp suits and cool silence. And Damien, for the first time, wants to be seen. Their connection is electric, but with press scandals, corporate vultures, and past wounds threatening to tear them apart, Damien must decide: is he willing to risk everything... for something real?Complete
