~Trigger Warning: Domestic Violence, Sexual Content, Gang Violence, Psychological Horror

Love isn't the only thing that leaves bruises.
On an island built on secrets, blood is just the beginning.

Elara Hart wasn't supposed to survive him-not the fists, not the gaslighting, not the slow suffocation of a love designed to break her.
But she did.

Six months after escaping her abusive fiancé, Elara's dragged to an exclusive "healing" retreat by her younger sister and influencer best friend. She's not looking for peace. She just wants to make it through without losing the mask she's worked so hard to rebuild.

Until he shows up.

Cassian Vale-tattooed, unreadable, and dangerous in ways Elara can't quite name-isn't supposed to be hers. He's matched with someone else. But his stare burns too long. His words cut too deep. And every stolen glance turns into something darker.
Something neither of them can stop.

Because this retreat isn't what it seems.
Because the producers are watching.
Because something else is watching too.

And Cassian?
He isn't just a forbidden distraction-he's hiding a brutal past that's about to collide with hers in ways neither of them are ready for.

Tangled in obsession, lies, and something far more sinister than either of them can explain, Elara is about to learn the hardest truth:

Some stories don't end when you survive them.
They begin there.Všechna práva vyhrazena

Embers of the Heart od mrjangken

In a world where appearances matter more than truth, Elara lives behind the mask of a perfect noblewoman, bound to a man she never loved. Her days are marked by hollow conversations and nights by cold silences-until Adrien, a mysterious war-scarred man with a quiet fire in his soul, arrives to oversee her husband's estate. Their connection is instant, electric, and utterly forbidden. As they navigate stolen glances, whispered conversations, and secret letters, their emotional intimacy deepens into passion. But danger lurks everywhere-Adrien is watched, and Elara is controlled. Their affair soon unravels secrets buried in blood and betrayal, leading to moments of intense passion and heartbreaking choices. Through thrilling escapes, betrayals within the walls of their own home, and the constant threat of discovery, Elara and Adrien cling to one another, knowing that each embrace could be their last. As heartbreak tears them apart and destiny plays its cruel hand, they're forced to choose: sacrifice their love for survival... or burn everything to the ground for one chance at freedom. In the end, love triumphs through the ashes, but not without scars. The story ends with a powerful emotional climax-a rebirth of their love after loss, courage, and ultimate redemption.

Love In The Shadow (18+ | Litmatch Lovestory) od amirina1701

Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me. A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound. Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.

CAGED od bkh333

He calls a lawyer. He finds a solution. Marriage. Legal. Safe. Binding. But the moment she hears the word, the walls close in. The cage she fought to escape? It's waiting for her again. A different lock. A softer voice. But a cage, nonetheless. Now, she must choose. Return to the nightmare she barely survived- Or walk into a new golden cage, one that looks like safety, but feels like the same trap, dressed in light. And the scariest part? This time... no one's forcing her. Which is worse? The devil you knew... Or the dream you don't trust? The clock is ticking. The walls are closing in. And she's trapped in a decision that could haunt her forever. Which cage is the lesser evil?

Brave Enough To Love Again od CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.

Notes between us 🎹📝 od Ellymaetales5

Backstory: Adrian Vale was born into wealth - the kind that comes with power, respect, and danger. The Vale name carries weight, tied to an empire built on generations of business...and the darker world beneath it. To outsiders, Adrian is everything they envy: charm, fortune, legacy. But behind the tailored suits and expensive watches is a man who wants none of it. Music is his only escape - the piano, the only place he can breathe. In the Vale household, though, passion isn't purpose. His father made that clear: a man's worth comes from numbers, not melodies. When his father dies, Adrian inherits everything he never wanted - the money, the power, the loneliness. Every smile feels fake. Every date, a transaction. So now he tests people, playing the part they expect: the rich bachelor who can buy anyone's affection. Most fall for it. Until Rowan. Rowan Hart grew up in a house that was always one paycheck away from falling apart.Her mother works double shifts, her sister juggles school, and Rowan takes care of her ailing grandfather. Writing was her escape - a way to make sense of the chaos. Then, one night, her words reached someone. One story went viral, and suddenly, Rowan Hart was a name people knew. But success didn't change her heart. She still lives in the same small house, still worries about bills and hospital visits. She's learned that love and honesty mean more than money ever could. When Adrian Vale walks into her life - charming, distant, and too polished to be real and she sees something beneath the surface. Loneliness. The same kind she's written about for years. And maybe, just maybe, the stories she writes aren't just meant to heal her anymore. Maybe what's she's been writing was manifesting him to her.

The Lycan's Flame od hazel_gliipps

Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?

A New Beginning od gem_code

There are no rules here. No laws. No one to tell you what's right or wrong-because right and wrong don't mean much anymore. In this world, the dead don't stay dead. Time doesn't move the way it should. One second stretches forever, and the next disappears before you can breathe. The world feels... paused. Broken. Caught between what once was and what refuses to end. It's beautiful, in a terrifying kind of way. Endless skies. Cities half-swallowed by fog. Echoes of laughter that don't belong to anyone alive. And somewhere in the middle of it all-Maeve. She walks through the stillness like she belongs there, even though she doesn't. Her steps are quiet, steady, like she's listening to something the rest of the world can't hear. There's a sadness in her, yes-but also calm, like she's already seen everything there is to see. Maeve didn't choose to come here. She was taken. Dropped into a new community that feels more like a cage than a home. But she doesn't fight it-not at first. She watches. Learns. The shadows whisper secrets, and she listens. Something about this place is wrong. She can feel it. The people act strange. The air hums with hidden energy, like the world itself is holding its breath. And Maeve can't help but wonder- if death isn't the end here... then what is?
