Filing for divorce seems like their ticket to freedom-until Alina discovers she's being stalked by a mysterious figure who knows too much about her life. As Marcus steps in to protect her, buried secrets surface, and they begin to question whether the divorce is truly their idea... or part of a much deadlier plan.

Ashes of Desire
"Alina's life was nothing but misery-a string of heartbreaks, betrayals, and endless pain. Desperate for a way out, she made a deal with the Devil himself, never expecting to become the obsession of Hell's most dangerous ruler. As she's drawn deeper into his world, Alina learns that bargains with demons always come at a cost, and sometimes the greatest danger isn't losing your soul-it's losing your heart. A „tale" of forbidden romance, sharp humor, and unbreakable resolve-where even in the depths of Hell, hope burns brightest."Complete

Kiss Me, Damnation
******* He pushed off the wall, closing the distance between us in two strides. His presence towered over me, suffocating me. "I don't want your thanks, Evelyn. I want you. And the fact that you can stand here, smile at him, hold his hand, and then come to me with polite little words like thank you" He shook his head, his jaw tight "It makes me sick" My chest tightened. Fear. Guilt. Something else i couldn't name. I opened my mouth to speak, but his had shot up, just hovering inches from my cheek. "Don't thank me. Don't ever thank me. Because I'm not your hero, Evelyn. I'm your Damnation." **** He's a genius-cold, ruthless, untouchable. She's the only one bold enough to defy him. It begins with a spilled coffee and a spark that sets the classroom ablaze. Rivals from the start, they fight to outwit, outshine, and outlast each other. But behind his cruel smirks and cutting words lurks something far more dangerous than competition. Because he doesn't just want to win. He wants her. Every laugh she shares, every glance she gives, every moment she spends with someone else feeds the obsession he can't control. And while she believes she's free, he's already weaving the bars of a cage she cannot see. She despises him. He craves her. And soon, one of them will discover that the line between love and obsession can shatter into betrayal.Complete

"She calls him a monster to his face. 😈 He calls her nothing-because silence is more dangerous. She wants him gone. He wants her breathing. She fights him with fire, insults, defiance, and open disgust. 🔥 He fights with patience, control, and a care so quiet it feels terrifying. He never admits what he feels. Never touches unless necessary. Never leaves-even when she begs him to. Because hate is safer than truth. And if she knew what he'd done for her... who he'd ruined... how many laws he's bent and bodies he's buried... ⚖️🩸 She would never forgive him. So he stays the villain. Lets her hate him. Protects her from the dark- even if it means becoming it. " 🔥 🖤 (Mature content ahead! Readers discretion is advised)
SILENT DEVOTION 🥀
"He watched me bury the bodies. Then he left me a rose." After returning home to find her entire family slaughtered, she learns her tragedy wasn't random it was personal. A twisted admirer is lurking in the shadows, leaving her messages, gifts, and clues... all wrapped in blood and obsession. As the line between grief and madness blurs, she's drawn into a dangerous game - one where love isn't given, it's carved into skin. He says he's protecting her. He says they're soulmates. But love doesn't usually come with a body count. A dark romance of obsession, trauma, and the kind of devotion that should come with a warning label.
