Julian Crane isn't used to hearing no. Dominant, disciplined, and devastatingly private, he hires Elena under a confidential contract-offering wealth, safety... and complete control.

But what begins as an exclusive arrangement spirals into something far more dangerous.

He wants her submission.
She wants to keep her heart.
Neither of them is prepared for the fire that erupts when secrets surface, desires deepen, and past ghosts come clawing back.

Some lines were meant to be crossed.
Some hands were meant to leave marks.

He promises he'll never hurt her like Jake- but he'll burn the world to ash before he lets anyone else try.

Blossom by MaryRose_Author

A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

BOUND BY DESIRE by Rkemsi

Elena Carter never planned on falling for a man nearly twice her age. At twenty-five, she was determined to focus on her career, rebuild her confidence after heartbreak, and prove herself in a world that often underestimated her. Then she met Michael Hayes-a powerful, magnetic CEO with steel-blue eyes and a guarded heart. Michael had long since sworn off love. At forty-two, scarred by a painful divorce and hardened by years of ambition, he believed desire was fleeting and intimacy dangerous. But from the moment he locked eyes with Elena, something shifted. She wasn't just another young woman chasing his attention-she was different. Refreshing. Irresistible. What begins as stolen glances and forbidden temptation soon ignites into a passion neither can deny. But love this intense comes with risks: whispers of scandal, judgment from others, and their own deepest fears threatening to tear them apart. In a world where age, power, and reputation collide, Elena and Michael must decide if their connection is strong enough to withstand it all-or if their hearts will break under the weight of desire. From steamy intimacy to emotional devotion, Bound by Desire is a story of obsession, trust, and unstoppable hearts... where every touch, every kiss, and every whispered word leads them closer to forever.
