She ran from a monster and straight into the arms of something darker.
Three years ago, Elise Monroe disappeared. Broken, bruised, and renamed Lyric Voss, she vanished into a quiet city, trying to survive the aftermath of the man who raised her-and ruined her. What she didn't know was that someone had followed her. Watching. Waiting. Planning.
Silas Ryker was supposed to be her enemy. A man with shadows stitched into his skin and obsession buried in his chest. For years, he watched her from the sidelines-protecting what wasn't his. Loving what he never touched. Until the day she chose to stop running.
Now the past is clawing its way back.
Dean Kincaid, the man who once owned her, is resurfacing-and this time, he isn't just looking to reclaim her. He's looking to silence her. But Elise isn't a frightened girl anymore.
With Silas at her side and fire in her blood, she's ready to burn everything Dean built to the ground-name by name, lie by lie.
This is a story about survival. About dangerous love, blood-soaked loyalty, and the kind of healing that cuts first and comforts second.
He was the knife.
She was the wound.
Now they're the fire.

The Alpha's Lost Light
Elise was born from power but raised in chains. Once the daughter of a great bloodline, she is now nothing more than a slave, forced to kneel before the wolves who killed her family. They mock her, beat her, and strip her of her worth-yet every Alpha, every powerful wolf, shifts uneasily when she enters the room. They sense it. The light she does not even know she carries. When she is cast out and branded rogue, Elise collides with Emeric-the most feared Alpha of all. Cold. Merciless. Deadly. He spares her life, though he cannot explain why. He does not see her as his mate. Not yet. Elise's wolf lies hidden, locked away in the shadows, waiting for the moment to rise. But when blood spills and packs collide, her secret awakens. Her light could destroy him-or save him.
Velvet Reign
By day, Sable Reign is a trauma counselor for the broken, the bruised, and the betrayed. By night, she hunts the monsters who made them that way. Each ribbon she leaves behind is a signature. Each kill, a silent vow whispered to the ghosts of those who never got justice. They call her the Velvet Reaper. No one knows she's real. No one suspects the petite, pristine woman with a silver tongue and a scarlet smile. No one... until now. When four dangerous men step into her life-each with secrets inked into their skin and blood on their hands-Sable's carefully constructed world begins to crack. An investigative journalist. A profiler. A fixer. A king of the underground. Each of them drawn to her for reasons they don't understand. Each of them willing to bleed for a woman who shouldn't exist. But the hunter has become the hunted. And when another killer rises-one who preys on women like her-Sable will have to decide: Expose her truth? Or bury it with every last body. Because love was never part of the plan. But neither was being seen.
The Weight of Whispers
Rumours haunt Iris like shadows - twisting who she is into something cruel and unrecognisable. She doesn't know where they started. But they're spreading fast. And things are only getting worse. With only two people by her side - Isaac, steady and kind, and Jules, always sweet - Iris clings to the little trust she has left. Then she's paired with River - the popular guy with a reputation for being cold and careless. She expects nothing good. Instead, something shifts. But trust is fragile. And when betrayal cuts deeper than words, Iris is left questioning everything-and everyone. Life can fall apart in an instant. Sometimes, the person you lean on... is the one you never saw coming. Trigger Warning: This book contains themes of bullying, emotional abuse, mental health struggles, trauma recovery, and the death of a loved one. Reader discretion is advised.

And somewhere between them stood a man who had built an empire in the shadows, carrying his own darkness while becoming the light in hers. Isha Kapoor had spent years running from a life that had only ever taught her pain. She believed she knew who she was, where she came from, and why she had been left with nothing but scars.

Until his search leads him to a girl who has no idea that she may be the person he has been looking for all along. As buried secrets rise, old enemies return, and the truth begins to unravel, three shattered lives find themselves connected by a past none of them remember the same way. One girl who never knew where she belonged. One brother who never stopped looking for home. And one man who would turn the world upside down to keep her safe. She thinks she is the darkness. He sees her as the light of his life. But some truths don't just change the future. They rewrite everything you thought you knew about the past. ⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅• Tropes & Themes :--> ╰┈➤ Mafia & business rivalries ╰┈➤ Found family / Hidden Identity ╰┈➤ Long-lost sibling mystery ╰┈➤ Trauma, healing & love ╰┈➤ Slow-burn romance ╰┈➤ Dark secrets & hidden past ╰┈➤ Touch her and die ╰┈➤ Suspense
OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Zakończone
