Evelyn Hart was just an ordinary girl-quiet, curious, a creature of habit-until the night everything was stolen from her. Ripped from the safety of her small-town life, she awakens in a secluded estate hidden deep within the woods, trapped in a gilded cage where rules are whispered and punishments bite.

Her captors are anything but ordinary.
Alex, the colder of the two, hides cruelty behind a calm gaze, always calculating, always in control.
Dominic, darkly magnetic, is more volatile-prone to softness one moment and ruthless dominance the next.
They say she belongs to them now.
Not as a guest. Not as a prisoner.
As their pet.

But Evelyn refuses to break easily. In this twisted dance of obedience and defiance, her heart becomes the most dangerous thing of all. Because in the house of her captors, love is a weapon... and surrender might be the only way to survive.All Rights Reserved

Running Away From His Presence by love_hearts5678

She was never meant to stay. When Evelyn Hart flees into the misty forest beyond her ancestral home, she isn't just running from a man-she's running from a prophecy, a fate tied to the presence of someone she once trusted... and now fears. Bound by blood and shadow, Evelyn finds herself haunted by memories and hunted by something far more dangerous than love: destiny. But the deeper she runs, the closer he gets. And the more she remembers, the more she questions: Is she escaping him-or herself? In a gothic blend of mystery, romance, and the supernatural, Running Away from His Presence is a slow-burn unraveling of secrets, sins, and the things that never die.

Green-eyed Shadow Looks at the King by Audranasa

In the ruins of a fractured world, defiance is a death sentence. Excelling in the fine arts of covert observation, she collects secrets and trades in betrayals. This data broker doesn't believe in fairness or morality. After all, that's the only way to survive - and thrive - in a limited human space, constantly besieged by strange fauna. She's spent a lifetime running from the powers that be and slipping through the cracks. However, a fateful misstep pulls this furtive shadow into the sights of a man set to inherit the hopeless war. His ascent to the throne is paved with the bodies of those who stood against him - and those who didn't. This capricious warlord intends to cut the trespasser's insolence out with a blade. Slowly and carefully - because death would be far too kind. He wants her taught a lesson. Disfigured. Broken. Owned. Yet she vanishes into the overcrowded streets. A hounded prey becomes an umbrage with a vendetta and wages a one-woman war on his reputation. From the darkness, she turns the rising officer's name and affairs into rot. She never lets him forget she's still out there. Watching. The nobleman handles it all without faltering. However, the manhunt gradually twists into a slow, burning obsession. The woman's daring, her rage fascinate him. Consume him. All grudging sentiments warp into respect... and something stronger. When enemies close in on all sides, he calls upon his shadow with an alluring promise of truce. Trust is a knife. And he hands it to her - willingly.

In the silence of the night, where secrets lurk and the past refuses to die, Evelyn realizes she's crossed a line she can never uncross. And with Dominic, there's no turning back.
