The Gambit  follows Dominic Blackwood, the son of Elias Blackwood, head of the powerful Dark Syndicate - a secretive and dangerous underworld empire. As Dominic is reluctantly initiated into the Syndicate, he's tasked with a near-impossible mission: eliminate Victor, a rogue leader responsible for a brutal betrayal that tore apart Dominic's family.

Haunted by trauma and duty, Dominic is torn between his violent inheritance and a longing for something more. That longing begins to take shape in Selene, an artistic former classmate who sees beyond the hardened exterior Dominic presents to the world. As they reconnect, a tender romance begins to blossom - giving Dominic a glimpse of a life free from blood and power.

Their connection deepens when Dominic begins a secret film project, casting Selene as the lead in a deeply personal story. The success of the film launches Selene into the public eye - but also makes her a target. A fabricated deepfake scandal devastates her, prompting Dominic and his loyal friend Ronan to uncover a global conspiracy.

The investigation leads to Kade Voss, Selene's estranged father and a shadowy financier of the Syndicate's darkest operations. As the lines between family, power, and betrayal blur, Dominic and Selene are drawn into a brutal confrontation that forces Dominic to decide between the destiny chosen for him and the life he truly wants.All Rights Reserved

stolen by the enemy by Nana4chris

Years after vanishing from Istanbul's underworld, Ferit Korhan returns with one mission-to destroy the two powerful families responsible for the murder of his older brother. For years, these families have ruled through alliances, wealth, and bloodshed... and Ferit intends to bring them to their knees from within. At the heart of their newest alliance is an arranged engagement between Seyran, a young woman trapped by duty, and Sinan, the heir to one of the families. She is not in love with him-only bound by an agreement forged long before her wishes ever mattered. Ferit sees an opportunity. His plan is simple: get close to Seyran, make her fall for him, sabotage the engagement, and ignite a war between the families. What he doesn't expect is Seyran herself-sharp-willed, restless, observant, and far stronger than the role she's been forced into. The more he pretends, the more real everything becomes, until Ferit finds himself falling madly, uncontrollably in love with the one woman who was meant to be his pawn. Now Ferit stands at the crossroads between the revenge he's lived for... and the woman who could ruin all of it-or save him from himself.

Esme-his closest companion, his dance partner, the one who taught him every step-remains an absence he refuses to accept. Now eighteen, Messiah is both a Forensic Analyst and the son of the infamous Roderick "Son of Satan" Hallowes and Ella "Widomaker" Hallowes. Though he continues Esme's legacy of dance alongside his girlfriend, Phoebe, his heart remains fixed on the unanswered question: what happened to Esme? When Marshal Brock Davies assigns him a case involving Crucible, a rapidly expanding criminal organization that preys on young girls between the ages of six and sixteen, Messiah feels the stirrings of recognition.

The deeper Messiah digs, the more the lines blur between truth and obsession. And as Crucible's cathedral doors creak open before him, he realizes that finding Esme might destroy him-and that some answers should never be unearthed. "Forged from what remained."
