Les Femmes
In a world where justice is portrayed by a badge, some battles are fought far beyond the streets.

San Francisco, early 2000s. Elena Lopez has finally earned her place in the detective squad - a dream she nearly lost to failure, fear, and the weight of expectation. But stepping into the role isn't the victory she imagined. It's only the beginning. Will her unbreakable spirit help her soar - or become the reason for her downfall?

In a world where the voices of women are ignored and taken for granted, how will she rise against old power and deep-rooted prejudice - forces determined to keep her from spreading her wings?

Les Femmes is not just a novel - it's a voice for those who have been silenced. A story of grit, heart, and fire, it follows a resilient woman who dares to stand up, speak out, and fight for her place in a world that tells her she doesn't belong.All Rights Reserved

Justice by Oleander - 2012 Watty Awards, Finalist by ItalRT4u

A woman scorned -- a medical professional -- a detective trying to catch a break -- dozens of unsolved murders... What do these all entail? A game of cat and mouse, a tale of vengeance is what you'll find here. She reached her breaking point. She simply had enough. Living with it, day in, day out at home; witnessing it on the work-front. She was bound to crack some time, right? Caught up in a vicious cycle of revenge, Mika Stafford adopted a second life - call her a vigilante if you will. As she preyed on each and every one of them, she enjoyed the promiscuity these one-shots offered along with the vengeful release that came along when all was said and done. She never wanted to give her heart to anyone. Not anymore. What she never counted on was Detective Ryans. Ryans had the lead on the latest string of murders that seem to be left unsolved - the file of linked cases that would make or break his career. After being linked to some of these unsolved cases, Mika finds herself weaving a rather intricate series of webs. The chemistry between the two of them is undeniable but there's just something about Mika that keeps Detective Ryans coming back with more questions - questions only she seems to be able to answer. With bodies piling up, widows cashing in on life insurance policies, and Mika's informative consults, Detective Ryans finds himself chasing a ghost of sorts - a female one if his instincts are right. This vigilante/criminal is doing everyone a favour by knocking these lowlifes off but the fact of the matter is that this 'Femme Fatale' still needs to be apprehended. After all, keeping everyone safe is a cop's job. © Carey Decevito, 2012

Strength and Sensuality [Completed] by HeraHarker

A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City Awards

Shadow of a Hero by Symple1

In a world where superpowers are common and heroes are celebrated, Elena was supposed to be one of them. Born into a family of legends and trained alongside future elites-including Adrian, the boy who would become the city's golden hero-her path seemed set. But Elena made a different choice: to walk away from glory and become a journalist instead, trading in expectations for the pursuit of truth. The world saw her as a shadow of Adrian, a waste of potential. But Adrian never did. His love, fierce and unwavering, became her anchor in a world that constantly tried to diminish her. Still, being in the orbit of greatness has its cost-especially when you're the only one asking the questions no one else dares to voice. When a hero is paraded on live television, bloodied and broken, and the Department urges "calm," Elena knows something deeper is unraveling. All signs point to Pulse, a new and terrifying threat. And at the center of it all lies the powerful and suspicious Novus Foundation. As old traumas resurface and loyalties are tested, Elena must confront the system she once believed in-and decide whether the truth is worth the fallout. Because some stories don't just challenge the world. They burn it down.

Strength In Solitude by RynaRoesia

In a city where justice often felt like a distant dream, Veronica "Vee" Mendez stood out. A passionate advocate for the oppressed, Vee spent her days championing causes for those whose voices were silenced. Yet beneath her fiery exterior lay a woman fractured by the weight of her past. Betrayals, broken promises, and experiences with the men in her life had left her disillusioned and embittered. Haunted by depression, Vee found solace only in her relentless pursuit of justice, even if it often left her isolated. Her sharp tongue and mistrust of men were weapons she wielded to protect the fragments of her wounded heart. But when she crossed paths with Lucian Vasquez, a principled prosecutor with an unyielding commitment to the law, her carefully constructed walls began to tremble. Lucian wasn't like the others she had encountered. His sense of justice mirrored hers, but his approach was deliberate and patient, contrasting with her fiery impulsiveness. Through their unlikely partnership, Vee would confront not just the broken systems around her, but also the fractures within herself. Would she allow herself to trust again, or would her pain keep her tethered to her solitary crusade?

Meat for the slaughter (en) by MrSamuel090

The city doesn't like to talk about blood. Even when the murders get too loud. She just wanted someone to hear - at least on the Internet. But in a world where the truth doesn't matter, silence becomes safer. Sometimes it all starts with a news story. And ends with you no longer knowing who to trust.
