London, 1860. Behind the velvet curtains of the Belladonna Opera, beauty is everything, and everything has a price.

Théo Maren is Belladonna's crown jewel. A male ballet dancer in a world that wants him quiet, pretty, and obedient. Admired for his grace, whispered about for his past, and watched far too closely by men with power. The Duke, who claims him like a possession. Durfraye, the director, who uses him to keep the theatre alive. And the audience, who only see the mask he wears on stage.

But then he returns.

Konstantin Arseniev. A Russian general, calm and unshakable, the only man who ever touched Théo without trying to own him. Years ago, they shared one stolen night in St. Petersburg. A night Théo ran from. A night he never forgot.

Now, Konstantin is standing in the crowd.

And suddenly, Théo's careful world, his distance, his silence, his survival is on the verge of crumbling. Because loving Konstantin means risking everything: his safety, his freedom, his career... and maybe even his life.

Belladonna is a story of forbidden love, obsession, and the cost of beauty in a world that wants to ruin softness. A dancer who refuses to break. A soldier who refuses to let go. And a stage where the truth can't stay hidden forever.

Hate Me Harder by summerxxx333
89 parts Ongoing Mature
FORBIDDEN ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS Dark, twisted, and heartbreakingly passionate, it's a forbidden love story about enemies with benefits, obsession, revenge, addiction, and a love that refuses to die, even when the world demands it. How can it be wrong if it feels so fucking right? ... And then his mouth was on mine. It wasn't soft. It wasn't careful. It was a collision of teeth, breath, desperation and fucking vodka. My back hit the mirror, the cracked glass rattling as his hands slid up my thighs, gripping, lifting me like I weighed nothing. "Lorenzo-" "Shut up," he rasped against my lips, kissing me harder. "Just - shut up." I clawed at his shoulders, nails digging into his skin through the thin fabric of his shirt. He groaned, the sound vibrating against my mouth, and pressed closer, his hips slotting between my legs as he pinned me to the mirror. Every inch of me screamed to shove him away. Every inch of me burned to pull him closer. His hands were everywhere, spreading over my waist, skimming up my sides, catching my jaw to tilt my head just so as his mouth devoured mine. The cracked mirror dug cold into my back, but the heat of him was a wildfire swallowing me whole. "You hate me, remember?" he muttered against my mouth, biting my bottom lip before sucking it back into a kiss. "I do," I gasped, nails scraping down his arms. "Good," he said darkly, kissing me again, harder this time. "Hate me harder." I did. I kissed him like it was a fight, like it was revenge, like it was the only way to breathe. ... fractured love trilogy #2 [can be read as a standalone]

#1 Werewolf (08.09.2022) Ever since her eighteenth birthday, Skylar Morgan has been tormented by the same recurring nightmare. Now, eight years later, she's finally found peace in a quiet town and opened the shop she always dreamed of-accepting the nightmares as a strange, unsettling part of her life. Until the newcomers arrive. Among them is a striking, rugged stranger whose presence changes everything. With Dmitri Makarov's arrival, Skylar's once-calm world unravels, revealing a reality she never imagined. Because Dmitri isn't just any man-he's a Lycan, the Alpha of a powerful nearby pack, and the sworn protector of the town she calls home. He isn't searching for a mate. But fate has other plans. When Hunters begin circling Skylar, Dmitri is forced to step in-only to discover that Skylar's secrets run deeper than either of them realized. And the nightmares she carries may be the key to a legend that binds them together... and a threat hiding in the shadows. With their fates intertwined, Skylar and Dmitri must uncover the truth before the puppeteer behind the chaos destroys them both. Bound is not your typical shifter romance and contains more mature characters with a focus on the relationship and character development. This book contains some curse words and explicit sexual scenes as Skylar explores her sexuality. This book is for a mature audience.

Book two of three in the Project Series. BOOKS MUST BE READ IN ORDER. JASON ARCHER I can't stop the darkness from slipping into my vision. All I see is the only person I ever loved as he lay on the ground with a weak pulse. I saved him, though. But I hate the idea of being a hero. I'm not a hero. I only couldn't stand the thought of a plane of existence where Apollo didn't exist. I had to save him. He still carried my heart with him--the heart that left me to stay with him against my will. However, I won't tell him it was me. In order to heal, I decided, at the last minute, to go on the cruise designed to help uplift those struggling mentally. Emery Gray, my ex-boyfriend, found out it was me, and I didn't want to risk Apollo searching for me. But fate laughed in my face in the name of my panicked last-minute decision. Because when I thought I was escaping Apollo and Triple-A altogether, I didn't escape him at all. Apollo is on this cruise, and he knows from the moment he looks into my eyes that I saved his life. Damn it, maybe Emery was onto something. Maybe there is magic in healing with the person you were supposed to heal with all along. And maybe, just maybe, the future I always wanted with him is right in front of my face, and maybe it's waiting to be grabbed. All I have to do is fight through my fears and snatch it up.
