He hunts monsters in the dark.
But his deepest obsession has always been her.

Gavin delivers justice where the system fails-ruthless, controlled, and merciless. But there's one line he's never crossed, no matter how much he's wanted to: Samantha.
His best friend's little sister.
The girl he watched grow up.
The woman he's never been able to forget.

Now she's back-unexpected, untouchable, and walking straight into the danger he lives in.
He should stay away.
He can't.
Not when she's always belonged to him.

"She's mine. To protect. To keep. To burn for." 

But Samantha isn't the fragile girl he remembers. She sees the darkness in him-and doesn't flinch.
"You can have me, but only if I can have all of you. No walls. No lies. No halfway love."

The Price Was Me by Liora_Noir
12 parts Ongoing
Elena Rosalie Valentie's quiet life shatters when she's kidnapped and sold to the ruthless Italian mafia leader, Adrian Dalassio Vervelli. Cold, dangerous, and obsessively possessive, Adrian takes her as more than just a debt payment-he makes her his. Trapped in his world of power and control, Elena battles fear, defiance, and unwanted desire as escape grows impossible. Yet when danger from Adrian's past threatens her, he becomes both her captor and protector. As fear slowly twists into fascination, an intense bond forms-one built on obsession, betrayal, and dangerous love. Enemies. Prisoner. Lover. Their story isn't about perfection-it's about surrendering to love born in the shadows. ᡕᠵデᡁ᠊╾━ •••••• "You know," he said, his voice low, "just standing there... makes me want to take more than just your attention." He said as hid fingers grazed her thigh. Elena's heart slammed against her ribs. She tried to steady her voice. "You're insane." "Insane?" he echoed, sliding up her leg with one fingertip. "Or... obsessed? Every part of you makes it impossible to think straight.I Impossible not to touch and devour ." Her breath hitched as his hand slid to her waist, brushing against her back and then lingered. "I... I can't believe you" "You can," he murmured, leaning so close her lips almost brushed his. "But you won't. Not because you don't want to, Sweetheart.. but because you are afraid you'll feel what I feel. And once you do... you'll be mine in ways you can't fight." Every word, every movement, every scrape of his fingers across her skin set fire to her nerves. Fear, desire, frustration-all tangled into a delicious ache she couldn't escape. And he knew it. 𐔌՞꜆. ̫.꜀՞𐦯 𓂃✿𓈒𓏸

𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃'𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. Book 1 in "Dark Fate" series. "They say you can't choose who you fall in love with, and he couldn't agree more. His sister's best friend had captured his heart, and he was consumed by his obsession for her and now, he knows he would never be able to let her go because she belongs with him." • ✧ • There's a kind of love that feels like sunlight - warm, gentle, safe. And then... there's his. It's not cruel. It's not loud. It's something far more dangerous - quiet, calculated, all-consuming. He was my best friend's brother. The man I was never supposed to notice. He watched from the shadows, memorizing me without ever needing a single word. I never really knew his name... but he knew everything about me. My fears. My patterns. My dreams. Even the parts I hadn't yet discovered myself. He's always been there, just a step behind-waiting, watching, wanting. And now, he's no longer waiting. He calls it love. I don't know what to call it, only that it pulls me in like gravity - unavoidable, inescapable. There's safety in his arms, yet danger in his silence. Gentleness in his touch, yet fire in his gaze. And somewhere in the tension between fear and longing, I find myself unraveling. Because the scariest part of being wanted like this... Is realizing you might want them back.

The Bossy Tycoon Falls for Me

18 parts Ongoing Mature

Ava's best friend had a plan - her second brother was rich, tall, and good-looking. She told Ava to go on a blind date with him and "lock it down," so they could become sisters-in-law. Good news: Ava did sleep with someone. Bad news: it was the wrong guy. Crazy news: she accidentally married him. When her best friend found out the next day, she nearly had a meltdown. Ava tried to comfort her. "Hey, don't cry. My husband's even hotter than your brother. I'm not losing here!" Her friend wiped her tears, panicking. "Hot? Who cares about hot?! My *older* brother is stricter than a drill sergeant - old-fashioned, serious, cold as ice! The man practically lives by the rule book. Sure, he's easy on the eyes, but he has zero redeeming qualities! Marry him, and you'll be crying every day, standing at attention, and probably sleeping alone half the time. Ava, you just jumped straight into hell!"
