Ego's Trap | ✔
Bribed by her stubborn and terribly conceited self, Imani Ane agrees to be the personal maid of a creep whose family's a little too perfect. To the undeniably humble Ane, all's generally fine as she struts about the wealthy Campbell's residence and tends to its needy, frustratingly beautiful twig of a Master, but such mercy's bound to not last long── love is in the air with little to no patience, and so are the demons hiding in plain sight, always ready to pounce on any soul that disturbs them, even if they're Ane's own. Prepare yourselves for a wild, unforgettable mash-up of humor, psycho-thrill, and drama. © 2019-2021 Indigo Ivy Salamander / @indigosa All Rights Reserved ----- Featured in the 2022 @Wattpad Community Curator List for Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month.

As Eva Myles, she vanished into a new skin. But no matter how many names she wore, she could never escape him, Damien Lopez, the brilliant, dangerous man whose gaze stripped her bare. He should hate her for the betrayal. She should fear him for the truth he might uncover. Yet every stolen glance, every reckless touch drags them closer to a love that should never exist. A love written in fire, fate, and ruin. Now Ana must outwit the powerful Lopez family, protect the ones she loves, and silence the secrets that could destroy them both.

Above the Law
--First place winner of the 2017 Mist Awards-- Every 107 seconds another victim is sexually assaulted. Sixty-eight percent of sexual assaults go unreported. Ninety-eight percent of rapists will never see the inside of a cell. Eden Summers was just another statistic. Too afraid to speak out, too afraid to seek justice. But justice comes in many forms. Justice as unethical as the crime itself, justice the city's vigilante gladly delivers with a blade through the offender's chest and an offer Eden can't refuse. While the masked man is determined to serve justice where justice is due, Detective Parker Yates is just as determined to keep Eden safe from harm's way and as close to him as he can. But as feelings between Eden and Yates become all too real--too dangerous--Eden has to choose where her loyalties lie; with the man behind the mask or the man behind the badge. But Eden can't deny it; the influence of the masked man is intoxicating. Roles reverse. Predators become prey. The prey becomes predatory. Yet, Eden isn't sure she's willing to play her part in the man's twisted game.Lengkap
