Hiraeth
This story is a slow-burning, emotionally intense romantic psychological thriller, woven through with family secrets, forbidden love, redemption arcs, and dark pasts that refuse to stay buried. It thrives in the grey zones of morality, asking: What makes us who we are-our blood, or our choices? Set against a backdrop of gothic mansions, tense boardrooms, abandoned warehouses, hospital rooms, and warm family homes, the narrative shifts between gritty realism and poetic intimacy, blending moments of raw vulnerability with sharpness, longing, rage, and redemption. A balanced cooking of psychological suspense and romance. Both a love story and a survival story. What to expect? Strong character-driven drama Mental health and trauma exploration A fierce female lead growing through pain into power A morally gray male protagonist haunted by blood and bound by love Themes of generational trauma, found family, vengeance, motherhood, and identity Trigger warnings!! Darkside: Mentions Abuse and trauma. Enough or not?: Mentions deep emotional vulnerability and graphic content. Owned by silk and bruises: Spicy and explicit. Morning, Son: Mysogynistic triggers. BOOM!: Traumatic and sensitive themes. Wreckage by Gasoline: Dangerous. The Final Arc: Mentions graphic details about torture.Complete

Scarred Hands
Years have fallen away like petals from a dying rose, yet the roots of the past refuse to wither. Grayson fought relentlessly to seal the door on his past, leaving only the scars etched into his skin-marks of a battle long endured, of a warrior forged in suffering. Scars he wished had never been carved into him, yet ones he had no choice but to bear. The abuse, the pain, all buried deep beneath the weight of time, cemented alongside Charlie's grave. But the past is never truly silent. When Grayson crosses paths with a ghost from his childhood torment, the door he fought so hard to lock swings open, unleashing memories long suppressed. His first instinct is to run-to flee as he always has. Yet, with the weight of responsibility on his shoulders and a young boy looking up to him, escape is no longer an option. This time, vengeance calls his name. It stands against everything he's been taught, everything he's tried to become. All in the name of peace-true peace-that eluded him since he was three. How far will he go to claim it? Would he break his family's trust and become the killer he was meant to be?
Bloodline of Shadows
Born the youngest of twelve powerful brothers, you were destined to inherit a legacy greater than all of them chosen as heir not by age, but by the ancient powers flowing through your veins. But fate was cruel. Stolen away as a child, your body was poisoned, your mind fractured, and your power suppressed. For years, you were lost, a missing prince hidden in shadows. Now found again, you return to a family torn between fierce protectiveness and their own dangerous instincts. Some test your strength. Others guard your fragile stability. And within you, not one voice, but many linger: echoes of cruelty, scars of pain, and something darker born in captivity. Every day becomes a battle not just against your brothers' challenges, but against the selves inside you, desperate to surface. Yet amidst the chaos, bonds begin to form, and trust slowly grows. With each trial, you take a step closer to reclaiming both your place as heir... and the fractured pieces of yourself. But the deeper you go, the more one truth becomes clear: survival means not only mastering your power, but mastering the shadows that live within.Complete

But what if loving him is the thing that destroys her? Althea's life was never meant to be normal.

But now, their fates are entangled-and something far darker is watching. As buried memories surface and the truth about her parents' death unravels, Althea finds herself caught between love and destiny, betrayal and survival.

These Vengeful vows
They were promised to each other before they could even speak. Heir to an empire. Daughter of a legacy. Bound by a deal neither of them asked for. She's learned to live with the panic that shadows her nights, the anxiety that claws at her chest when the world becomes too much. He's learned to bury the ghosts of his past under power, wealth, and a name that opens every door. But the marriage contract changes everything. One bed. One future. No escape. And just when they begin to see beyond the walls they've built around themselves, a message arrives: I know who killed your mother. The sender? A man the groom once called brother. Someone who lost eight years of his life while he walked free. Someone who wants revenge, not just on him, but on the family that destroyed everything. Lies will surface. Loyalties will shatter. And in the middle of it all, two broken souls will have to decide if they can trust each other... or if love is just another trap waiting to break them.
