They used to be enemies. Now they live under the same roof.
When Coy, a quiet self-made multi-millionaire, marries an older woman, he expects peace and maturity to follow. What he doesn't expect... is her daughter.
Candace - infamous in his past as his high school bully - crashes back into his life with a glare as sharp as ever, red eyes burning with unresolved fury. But things have changed. Coy is no longer the skinny nerd she once pushed around... and Candace is no longer the untouchable queen she used to be.
Broke, bitter, and battling demons from a fractured home, Candace struggles to hold onto the pride she once had. Coy, calm and calculating, keeps her at arm's length - until one wrong scheme changes everything.
Now hunted by a powerful figure threatening their lives, Coy and Candace are forced to rely on each other - not just to survive, but to confront the twisted bond that ties them together.
Old grudges don't die easy.
But sometimes, neither do broken people.

⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅• She believed she was born to be broken. He had spent years searching for someone he had lost before he was old enough to understand what losing meant. 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.

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.Complete
All the Things I Left Behind
Claire Holloway had lived her life by a promise---to make sure her mother never had to give another fiber of her being to anyone but herself, no matter the cost. Twelve years, countless all-nighters, and a degree in psychology later, she's finally made it. But when a phone call drags her back to her small hometown, Claire realizes that the life she built in the city might have been the biggest mistake of her life. Claire must face the deafening reality that all her work had been for nothing. Charlie Bennett is no stranger to loss. Her marriage is now, or she should say has always been, shattered. Her daughter barely looks her in the eye, and the quiet of her house feels heavier than the fists she's endured in her life. When her daughter unexpectedly returns, Charlie's fragile world begins to crumble under the weight of her daughters hatred towards her--and so does her heart when she crosses paths with someone she never thought she'd see again. Years ago, Claire was Charlie's student---the girl with too many dreams and not enough time to chase them. Now, they are two women standing at the edge of a life neither of them chose for themselves. What begins as an unexpected reunion turns into something far deeper than they could've expected. As old boundaries blur and long-buried emotions resurface, Claire and Charlie must decide whether love can heal the wreckage of their lives -or if some things are better left behind.
