Skin | H. L. Hope
Twisted. Broken. Scarred. To put it simply: ruined. She has never considered herself one to get fond of anything, but her own self. As much as she loves to believe that she didn't deserve what life preserved her, that's what made her who she is. That's what makes her different and so unique. And that's exactly what left her so astonished and intrigued once she found out that her heart could still pound for love, longing and not just mere survival. Or at least, for her version of love. One he was going to taste soon, whether he liked it or not. One thing she didn't expect, was her own scars becoming his.

#𝟐 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐞 ✦ 𝐀 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𓂃⋆.˚ She was light-too blinding, too pure for a man like him. He was darkness-cursed, dangerous, and utterly obsessed. He was a man of power, feared and worshipped in the same breath, ruling over the world of shadows where morality was a myth and sin was the only language spoken. Love? That was for the weak. He didn't do love. He didn't believe in innocence. Until her. She was untouched by the darkness he thrived in-a vision of purity, a forbidden fruit he had no right to crave. But the devil had never been one to deny himself temptation. And she... she was his greatest one. She should have run. He told her to. Instead, she stayed, unaware that the moment she stepped into his world, she became his. His to ruin. His to cherish. His purest sin. And now, even if heaven came calling-he'd rather burn than let her go.

The sea god's maiden
She was born beneath a cursed prophecy-raised not for herself, but as a sacrifice promised to the gods. The Maiden of Tides, they called her, a weapon wrapped in white silk, destined to end the reign of the Sea God. He is no merciful deity. The ocean bends to his will, storms are his rage, and mortals are nothing but fleeting sparks against his eternity. Yet when prophecy delivers the Maiden to his shore, he does not see his end. He sees his beginning. Bound by fate, divided by blood and curses, their story was never meant to be love-it was ruin, desire, and destruction written in the stars. But the Sea God whispers a truth no prophecy foresaw: "Every kingdom, every soul, every star-I would burn them all just to keep you." And when the final tide rises, his last words will not be vows, but truth: "I was yours from the beginning... and I'll be yours until the end." A dark romance of sacrifice, prophecy, and forbidden desire-where love may save the world... or drown it.Complete
The Quiet War
Detective Williams has spent years waging a losing war against the elusive criminal syndicate known only as the Underground-trading sleep for dead leads, and hope for ghosts. But when a cocky former strategist from the group, known simply as "Z," lands in his interrogation room offering to flip the entire organization inside out, Williams sees a chance at the breakthrough he's been chasing his whole career. What begins as a tense exchange of secrets quickly spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse. The Underground is already one step ahead, infiltrating the DDA from within and sending shadows through the vents to silence their traitor. And leading them? Kael-a ghost from Z's past with a vendetta as sharp as her scar. As trust grows thin and blood hits the floor, Williams and Z must form a fragile alliance to expose a conspiracy embedded deep within the justice system. But with every move watched, and every ally suspect, the question isn't just whether they can bring the Underground down... It's whether they'll survive doing it. The Underground doesn't hide from the law. It builds it. And now, it's ready to burn it all down.Complete

Hollowspire
In a city where magic is bound by iron and oaths, Nyx has spent years hunting the things that slip through the cracks - demons, devourers, creatures whispered about in forgotten prayers. She's good at it, until a single mission leaves her bloodied, bound to a voice she can't silence, and staring down a war she doesn't understand. As her orders grow murky and the wards that keep the world safe begin to flicker, Nyx is pulled deeper into a web of old prophecies and older hungers. Every step she takes toward the truth draws her closer to the thing she's sworn to destroy... and to the shadowed figure whose help she can't seem to refuse. Ancient power is waking. The Spire is hollowing. And Nyx may be the last barrier between the world and a hunger older than its name. Please feel free to give constructive criticism. It's been a while since I've been back in the writing game but I got inspired for this.
