Demon's Faith by Spades529

Faith grew up as a good Christian girl and is now going to college to pursue a degree in religious studies. But with a white lie here, a spark of pride there, sin is seeping into her habits. Little does she know, her soul is a Devil's Gate. With every sin she commits, black marks form on her skin, turning her into a link between Earth and the fiery pit. When the black smoke that falls from her markings forms into a breathtakingly hot red-eyed man with the most infuriating antics, she's desperate to do what ever it takes to get rid of him and get her life back to normal. But opening up her Devil's Gate for him requires the embrace of sin, a slippery slope so steep, she may never be able to return to her innocent Christian life. She may not want to.

Ghost Thorns (Ghost Perfume, Book 3) by natalisghosts

The Alistairs admitted the truth. Their fifth is Rose, both silver and gold-called, though her existence must remain a secret from those who'd imprison her or condemn the Alistairs for their change of heart. With Rose operating from the shadows, they fight for both sides: to free the priests and protect the living and the dead from the hunger of the worms. *** (Excerpt, Alexander's POV) *** Rose laughed. "She wasn't cruel, just bossy. She kept telling me to find privacy and not to tell anyone that she was contacting me." "Why?" Gabriel asked. "She didn't say. Please don't ever tell her I told you." "The priests make secrecy their policy in everything," I said. "What would you have done if I wasn't here?" Would you have kept her a secret from us, Rose? Her warm fingers ran over the nape of my neck. "I'd have been even more upset that you weren't here." Too cute. She was going to be the death of me. Eyes that begged me to come closer while she put her hand on my chest, warning me off. Climbing on top of me, but keeping the blanket between us. And for the first time in my life I wanted something bad enough that I was afraid to push for it. "Don't worry that we'll step between you and Beatrice," I said. "Build trust with her however you see fit." She gave me a sweet smile. When was Gabriel going to get off the damn call? I'd had Rose to myself for all of two seconds before the world interrupted. "Tell her sometime that you hate us," Gabriel suggested. "If you want to build trust with her." Rose promptly frowned. "I'd rather not." "One day, spit on Gabriel in her presence," I piled on. "She'll kiss your cheek." "Did she always hate you like this? Why?" "Some feelings don't have a good cause. Nothing but one tribe against another," Gabriel said.

OBSESSION. too personal by _Jane_D_O_E

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.
