Desperate for a chance, she ventures into the city's edgy arts district, drawn by rumours of The Anomaly, a gallery unlike any other, curated by a mysterious, famous artist. She finds him there, surrounded by unfinished canvases and the smell of paint: a man in his late thirties, with eyes that reveal the wisdom of experience, his presence both intimidating and fascinating.
Their first meeting is a clash of worlds. He's a seasoned artist, guarded and private; she's an undiscovered talent, filled with naive hope. However, as he hesitantly takes her under his wing, their professional relationship begins to change gradually. Through shared critiques, artistic debates, and quiet hours spent in the focused atmosphere of his studio, a powerful, undeniable connection sparks between them.

Changing Affection
She leaned forward and scooted closer to him. "It's okay to admit you're wrong." Ezra took a deep breath trying to control himself. He snuck a look at her lips and wanted to touch her plump lips. Her lips smirked at him as he snapped his eyes back up her. She reached up and brushed a stray hair from his forehead. She ran her fingers through his hair slowly. He could feel her fingernails lightly scraping his scalp. "Aubrey." Did his voice go down an octave? "Ezra?" Her eyes darkened slightly. He took a deep breath. "If we start, I won't be able to stop." "What if I don't want you to stop?" --- Ezra. A young gang member is trusted with the kidnapping of Aubrey Hallquist; the daughter of a rich man. He was supposed to bring her to his leader, but instead takes her to an old house of his and hides her there. This is an epic romance full of action and all the fluffy stuff you want. Follow along as Ezra's hard heart slowly morphs into a soft one and has the job to protect the woman who has captivated his heart. 🌶🌶🌶 -- Under Beta Reading/Editing First Draft Finished: May 23, 2022Kumpleto
Unseen shadow | Mafia Kade and Elara |
{Unseen Shadows}🌑🖤 --- Last warning, Elara. Safeword now, or. "Please.. "Elara begged him again".. His face darkened, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "Too late." He grabbed her hips, lifting her up and positioning himself between her thighs. She tensed, her body bracing.......read more.. The city of Ember Hollow was alive, bustling with secrets that danced through the streets like whispers in the night. Everyone knew who controlled it all-the mafia boss, Kade Alistair. Ruthless, sharp-eyed, and powerful, he ruled the underground with a fist of iron. His name alone made men tremble and women disappear behind closed doors. But to the outside world? Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety. All that mattered was power, control, and keeping his enemies in line. A cold-hearted king, untouchable, invincible. On the other side of the city, Elara Blake lived a different kind of life-one filled with light. She moved through the world with soft steps, kind words, and a gentle heart. Elara worked at the local flower shop, her days filled with the sweet scent of roses and the warmth of sunlight filtering through glass windows. She was the kind of girl who smiled at strangers and found joy in the smallest moments, unaware that her peaceful world was built on the foundations of darkness she couldn't see. Ember Hollow was a world divided. Kade's shadows ruled the night, while Elara's kindness bloomed in the daylight. Two worlds, completely separate, completely unaware of the other's existence...Kumpleto
Shadowbound Hearts
Elara Vance (22) exchanged one prison for another. After years of quiet endurance, the desperate night she fought back and killed her abusive father landed her in Blackwell Penitentiary. Out of place, fragile, and marked by trauma, she craves the anonymity of the stone walls-but anonymity is a luxury Blackwell doesn't afford. The man who truly runs this world of steel and concrete is Asher 'Reyes' Thorne (27). He's an incarcerated crime lord, a kingpin serving multiple life sentences for calculated murders, whose influence flows like a cold current through every cell block. When Asher sees Elara-the quiet, defiant woman with fire in her eyes, jailed for justifiable violence-he doesn't see a victim; he sees a kindred spirit he intends to own. Their relationship begins as a terrifying contract: Asher offers her absolute protection from the brutality of the guards and the cruelty of the inmates. In return, she owes him only her attention. But in the confined, suffocating space of Blackwell, proximity is poison. Their tense, transactional meetings-whispered words across the common room, charged silence in the visiting booths-quickly ignite into a desperate, forbidden need. Elara begins to chip away at the monster, discovering the strategic intelligence and fierce loyalty beneath the calculated darkness. Asher, in turn, finds his iron control shattered by the fragile defiance of the one person he can't truly cage. Shadowbound Hearts is the story of two souls defined by violence, finding dangerous comfort in the one place they are most exposed. In a place where freedom is impossible, they must decide if their forbidden love is the ultimate act of rebellion, or the final, irreversible surrender to the shadows.

Unethical ~ Clark Kent
At the Daily Planet, truth is everything - but some truths are unbearable. Elara Vance has built her career capturing honesty through a lens. Her photographs stop time, reveal what others overlook, and turn chaos into beauty. She sees the world clearly - except when it comes to Clark Kent. Clark is warmth in human form - steady, kind, impossibly good. And that's the problem. He's the man who never misses a deadline, never lets a promise break, never stops running when someone else needs him. Especially Lois Lane. To everyone else, they're just colleagues, best friends bound by a lifetime of headlines. But to Elara, it feels like standing in a shadow that will never move. She doesn't resent him. She can't. But loving Clark Kent feels like loving something you're never meant to have - too pure, too unreachable. And every time he leaves without explanation, every time his eyes flick to his phone mid-conversation, Elara feels the quiet ache of being almost enough. Until Clark finds out. When he learns what she's been hiding behind her calm smile - the loneliness, the doubt, the quiet conviction that she'll always come second - it shatters him. Because for all his strength, Clark has one fatal flaw: he's never known how to put himself first. And for the first time in his life, he wants to. He wants her. Determined to prove that his heart belongs only to Elara, Clark begins to fight - not for the world, but for her. Every rescue, every story, every secret he's kept becomes a test of devotion. But loving Elara means learning to be human in a way Superman never has - to be vulnerable, to stay, to choose her even when the world burns for his attention.Kumpleto
