Elegant. Gorgeous. Irresistible.
Iris Vespertine is the kind of woman people write poetry about- flawless on the outside, envied by all, and desired by many. But behind the dazzling smile and designer silk lies a world stitched together with secrets, manipulation, and a ruthless determination to stay perfect. She has built her empire on ruthlessness and control-and nothing, nothing, has ever slipped from her grasp.
Until him.
Raven Winters walks into her life like a storm wrapped in leather and mystery. Every dark desire she's buried, every hunger she's tamed, erupts to the surface. He's not just another conquest. He's an obsession. And Iris doesn't lose.
Not ever.
Will Iris finally get the one thing she can't control, or will Raven be the fire that burns her kingdom down?

Now, she's back. Not to forgive. Not to forget. She's here to burn his empire to the ground. But Ethan Vale isn't the man she remembers. He's colder. Harder. A marriage not of love, but of legacy.

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Complete
𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬
She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗠𝗲 𝗔𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁・❥・Maddy Perez & Nate Jacobs, Euphoria
"𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑛. 𝑆ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑠𝑛'𝑡." Iris has always known how to survive. At eighteen, she's everything East Highland thinks she is-reckless, untouchable, the girl with a reputation she doesn't bother correcting. She laughs louder, bites back harder, and never lets anyone get close enough to see what's underneath. By day, she's just another senior counting down the days until graduation. By night, she becomes someone else entirely-someone who dances for money, not attention. Someone who does whatever it takes to keep a roof over her head and her little sister safe. No one knows the truth. Except Maddie. Maddie Perez has always been there-closer than anyone, closer than Iris ever lets herself think about. Their friendship has never had boundaries. It's messy, magnetic, and blurs lines Iris refuses to define. Because defining it would mean risking it. And then there's Nate Jacobs-the one habit Iris never managed to break. Toxic, consuming, and impossible to ignore, he knows exactly how to pull her back in. With him, it's chaos. It's fire. It's everything she's learned to mistake for love. Caught between something real and something familiar, Iris is forced to confront the one thing she's spent years avoiding: Maybe love isn't supposed to hurt. Maybe the hardest thing she'll ever have to do... is choose something soft.
