Step into Elara's world of betrayal, desire, and power, where every decision matters. Elara Monroe is at the top of her game: fierce, flawless, and feared in every boardroom. She has very clear rules: no apologies, no second chances, and no distractions. A dangerously sexy stranger who knows more about her past than he should. And an unexpected online match who pushes boundaries dares her to feel more than just control. Between a ruthless office rival aiming to sabotage her and secrets she's tried to bury, Elara fights for more than just power. Two men. One promotion. And the past she thought she'd erased. In a world where ambition is dangerous, and love is a liability, Elara has one rule left: never let them see you break.

[ON HOLD] Sloane doesn't love. She doesn't even try. Girls come and go- useful until they're boring, discarded the moment they start to cling. Control is the only thing that matters, and it has always been hers. Until Elara. Dark-eyed. Sharp. Calculated. A woman who strips Sloane bare with nothing more than a look, who takes control without asking, who makes submission feel less like a choice and more like inevitability. What begins as a game of power becomes an obsession neither of them can walk away from. For the first time, Sloane isn't the one pulling the strings-she's caught in them. This isn't love. This isn't safe. This is control. Twisted. Consuming. Addictive.
𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 || ✍︎︎
𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 built herself out of glass and fire, sharp enough to cut, bright enough to be seen. Once the head of a rising empire, she now wakes to find her name stripped from the company she created, her life reduced to contracts and control she never agreed to. But she doesn't break; she plots. Every breath becomes strategy, every silence a step toward taking back what's hers. The only problem is the man standing in her way, the same one she can't seem to stay away from. 𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈 learned early that love was a weapon and obedience the price of survival. Behind his charm lies temper, behind his control lies ruin. He's the son of a man who built kingdoms on blood, and he's spent his life trying not to become him. But when she enters his world, she threatens everything he thinks he understands about power, loyalty, and the quiet hunger he can't seem to kill. ꨄ -#1 in #billionare - 22/08/23 -#3 in #storytelling -14/11/23 -#1 in #girlboss - 06/11/23 -#1 in #stalker - 08/11/23 -#5 in #daddyissues - 21/02/24 -#5 in #arrangedmarriage - 04/07/24
Rules For Falling
At Crestwood Academy, nothing is as it seems. Lia Monroe thought she was just another new student - until she discovered the hidden rules governing power, loyalty, and survival. When secret societies clash and whispered names decide fates, Lia must navigate a world where kindness comes with a cost, alliances blur, and every move could be her last. But in the game of control, the biggest rule is this: to win, you have to break the rules. (I have no idea if this is a good story, I had exam stress)Complete
Inheritance Redefined
In a family shaped by shadows, her light might be their only hope - or their greatest weakness. When Elara's mother marries into the infamous Calviero family, her world changes overnight. At just fifteen, she's thrust into a dangerous realm ruled by her stepfather and seven lethal stepbrothers, each with a fierce role in the mafia empire. Elara stands out - not just for her striking platinum hair and mesmerizing heterochromia, but for her compassionate heart and unwavering strength. A talented figure skater, she moves with grace on the ice but must learn to navigate a far more perilous stage at home. Her brothers are wary at first - hardened by years of violence and betrayal - but slowly, their fierce loyalty begins to extend to her. As old rivalries reignite and hidden threats emerge, Elara must confront the darkness lurking not only within her family but also within herself. And when whispers of a long-buried secret begin to surface, everything Elara thought she knew about her past - and her future - comes into question. In a world where trust means the difference between life and death, Elara's kindness is both her greatest strength and her most dangerous vulnerability. The question is: can she survive this world without losing who she truly is?

He's drowning in his. But when a murder ties their fates together, Elara is forced to stay under his roof... and under his protection.
