Zariah is sixteen, soft-spoken, and smart, but behind her quiet smile is a secret nobody knows. Her boyfriend Malik is charming in public, controlling in private. She wears the bruises no one can see and carries silence like a second skin.

They're about survival.
Because love shouldn't hurt... but hers does.

Offside Hearts: Soft Hearts Break Loudly [Special Edition]
Zayna is a regular student in Barcelona, super quiet, keeps to herself, and spends most of her time reading or studying in cozy cafés. One day, her cousin drags her to a local football match, and that's where she first sees Lamine-not just as a footballer, but as someone who, for once, seems... real. Later, they run into each other again-somehow, somewhere unexpected. Maybe he notices she doesn't treat him like a celebrity, and that sparks something in him. She's awkward. He's cocky but kind. She doesn't know how to act around him, but she slowly lets her guard down. Maybe there's pressure from the media, or friends getting too nosy, or Zayna wondering if she can ever be enough in his world.Complete

The Murderers Daughter
She's the murderer's daughter. Cold. Quiet. Untouchable. He's the boy who smiles like nothing scares him-until he meets her. Zaria doesn't need anyone. Not after what happened. Not after her mother took the fall for a crime she didn't commit. Not after the world branded her a monster's child. But Riven sees her. The real her. The one behind the walls. The one who still wakes up screaming at 3 AM. He follows her through silence, sarcasm, and the storm she hides inside. She pushes him away-but he stays. He always stays. Until one day... he vanishes. And Zaria realizes the scariest thing of all- She might've needed him more than she ever wanted to admit. A story about trauma, slowburn love, and healing in the quiet moments. He calls her ghost. She calls him stray cat. Neither of them knows how to say "don't leave."

WICKED THINGS
Genre: Dark Romance/Psychological Drama Summary: Zariah (17, turning 18) is a brilliant but emotionally scarred sculptor from the south sent to Marae Institute, an elite boarding art school known for producing prodigies and hiding scandals. Haunted by a childhood accident, the recent suicide of her best friend and the death of her Mom, she arrives guarded, mute, and numb. Her only therapy is her clay where she shapes all the screams she can't say. Then she meets Elián Wolfe a 19-year-old painter, infamous, secretive and dangerously magnetic. He's on his final warning from Marae after being expelled from his last school. Rumors follow him: one girl swallowed pills after being with him, another disappeared. His hobby is to paint in the basement, alone always in red. He notices her before anyone else, watches her when she thinks she's invisible and he tells her, "Your hands are beautiful when they're shaking." When Zariah finally sees the painting Elián has been working on, it's her, broken and naked, covered in words from her personal journal. She realizes he's been inside her room, reading her diary, stealing her nightmares. But she doesn't run... Instead, she adds the final touch to the painting: Her own blood.
Her Guilty Pleasure
He's paid to protect me. But when his hands are on me, I know he's not thinking about safety. I'm Zariah Moretti. Mafia princess. Brat. Daddy's favorite threat. Raised behind gates, draped in silk, watched by men with guns. And Malik Stone? He's the bodyguard with blood on his hands and hunger in his eyes. Cold. Trained. Untouchable. Except when it comes to me. I test him. Tease him. Drive him insane on purpose. And when he finally snaps - when his lips crush mine, when he drags me into the shadows - it's not sweet. It's filthy. Addictive. Everything I shouldn't want. But now the rival mafia heir thinks I belong to him. There's a war on the edge. And I'm caught in it. Malik says I'm off-limits. I say, make me stop. He was hired to protect me. Now he's the reason I'm on my knees. This isn't a love story. It's a body count. A dirty secret. A guilty pleasure.Complete
