How to Write a Murder by _Freen_

When Eliot, a lonely aspiring writer, meets Adrianne, their connection is instant, electric, and almost too intense to name. They decide to collaborate on a novel together-a raw, unsettling story about obsession, desire, and death. But as their partnership deepens, Eliot begins to wonder if Adrianne is writing fiction at all. Her language feels too precise, her details too sharp, her fascination too real. And Adrianne? She begins to suspect Eliot is wilfully blind to the truth standing right in front of him. Love and art blur into something darker as their manuscript grows. Miscommunication spirals into revelation, until Eliot and Adrianne are forced to face the impossible: were they ever writing a book... Will they write their story together... or live it?

Beside by immoralLaurel

''Tell me how it feels,'' he whispers. "Good," I gasp, my entire body trembling. Deeper. Harder. Perfect. Like we've been doing this for years. His hand finds my jaw, fingers firm as he tilts my head up, making me look at him. And that's it. Waves of heat zip to my toes as my nails scrape down his back. I don't think about what comes next -- him pulling his shirt on and leaving. I don't feel heartbroken when I imagine myself alone in here. It's casual, our intimacy. And it's too late to renegotiate. ***** When Fox hooks up with his new roommate at a masked club, he has no idea their fling is just the beginning. The woman he's living with is the same girl who shared candy with him under a playground slide. 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 STANDALONE NOVEL *ANGSTY EMOTIONAL SLOW BURN *MEN YEARNING Copyright © 2024-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

A billionaire who always wins- and a girl who refuses to lose. She moves her pawns carefully. She doesn't play by the rules. But what happens when the girl with nothing and the woman with everything start playing for keeps? Would it just be a game...or the beginning of something neither of them can control? Because when hearts get involved... who's really making the next move? And when love is the prize... who ends up in checkmate?

It's slow, it's dangerous, and it's everything they were trained to avoid. Because in their world, love isn't just forbidden - it's a weakness that could destroy them both.
