Eight masks. One Circle. No safe words.

Before The Circle was feared, it was formed.
And it started with a game no one knew how to stop.

When Monroe Maddox agrees to one night of masked dares in the woods, she doesn't expect to be touched, claimed, and undone-by more than one set of hands. But the game was never about just pleasure. It was about control. And submission has a price.

Now, each night brings new rules, deeper rituals, and a Circle bound by silence, seduction, and secrets they can't outrun.

Cash is the ruthless one. Weston is the quiet storm. Judson watches everything. Lennox plays the clown to hide the fire. And the girls? They're not innocent-they're queens learning how to kneel or be worshipped.

They thought it was just fun. Just sex.
But this was a ritual.
And rituals mark you.

If you're not careful... they own you.All Rights Reserved

Singing Robin (Heirs Series 2.00) by Kisslove17

This is the Second Book after Wilting Violets We have new names, roles, and rules. Pieces of an old puzzle but not a board to fit them on, and we are working differently than before. For the first time, the Monsters that sit below our skin are allowed to claw to the surface-All to give this new game meaning, a game that is dark, bloody, sorrowful, and crazed. Last semester, the Primary rules set us apart, but this semester, we need each other to win. The game is simple. "She is on fire, and we lit the match." To draw out the evil hunting Violet, we will need a little help. We need spies, yes-men, and lackeys. They are but one step above our Claim, and life is about to get interesting. The Mastermind that hunts in darkness needs a boy that understands how to be soft. The Ruin that bathes in blood needs a boy to show him how far he may go. The Eerie that lurks in shadows needs a boy to his his antithesis. And the Voice needs a boy to wake him up from his nightmare. All in hopes that she will love them. But there is but a humor in this game, a double-edged sword if one will. Each Heir believes they can win and then walk away, and each chooses their boy to fix their broken parts. But it all so amused when the Divines choose wrong. Well, all except one.

Twisted Desire I 18+ I ☑️ Completed by Hsowhebdndkdjs

Disclaimer This isn't your standard dark romance. No forced marriage. No Italian or Russian sounding names. No instant love. No twenty-something virgin waiting to be "corrupted." And it contains an actual story line, that makes it interesting to read, with plot twists and turns. I can't stand "dark" male characters who are just shallow and arrogant with a leather jacket, so mine isn't. When he gets dark, it's genuinely unsettling, not sexy cosplay. A real redemption arc actually requires something worth redeeming, and this story doesn't shy away from that. I want you torn between wanting to kiss him or wanting to call the authorities. Dan is complicated, not because he recites cringy lines about his "darkness," but because he's built from more than clichés. If you roll your eyes every time a brooding man whispers "Can you handle all my demons?" and if you are looking for a storyline that it's more than girls meet boy - kidnap - love then welcome. You're in the right place. Now on the book: Dan is a ruthless mafia boss. Lilly is a kind strong girl who found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. After she witnessed too much he decides to kidnap her. What begins as a game of power and punishment quickly spirals into obsession, blurring the line between desire and control. As secrets, betrayals, and other forces close in, captor and captive must confront a chilling question: is it love or just some kind of twisted desire?

Down Girl by AnonymousslyYours

"You want to act like a bitch?" His rough finger tilts my chin upward, just enough to make me meet his eyes. "Then I'll treat you like one." His gaze burns with contempt-sharp, unwavering. My breath catches as his hand lifts. I flinch, bracing for the hit that never comes. Instead, it lands-soft, firm, deliberate-on the crown of my head. The authority in that touch sends a shiver down my spine. "Bark." My mouth opens, but no sound escapes. Only a single tear slips free, humiliating and hot. What did I just almost do? ⸻ Leah rules her world with cruelty and charm-a tyrant everyone tolerates, some even admire. But not him. Vomero doesn't bow, doesn't yield, and he's made it clear he's not afraid of her. For the first time, Leah's control is slipping through her manicured fingers. And he's more than willing to teach her what happens when power meets its match-through blackmail, degradation, and the dangerous thrill of submission... maybe even a reward, if she earns it. ⸻ ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ This story contains: • Intense sexual encounters • BDSM, sadism, and masochism • Mentions of past trauma (rape and abuse), though these do not occur between the main characters. This is a Morally Gray novel and an erotic dark romance. Consider yourself warned.

Sin & Silk (COMPLETE) by justab00kgirly

In the dark, they surrendered. In the light, they collided. Every Saturday night, she trades power for pleasure. In The Velvet Room, names are forbidden, masks are mandatory, and reality disappears behind silk and shadows. For a few stolen hours, she isn't a ruthless attorney clawing her way to the top-she's simply desire, hunger, need. Then she meets him: dominant, dangerous, addictive. They agree-no names. No faces. No strings. But outside the club, fate has a twisted sense of humor. He's the one man she can't afford to crave. The one man who holds her future in his hands. Because he's not just any stranger... He's the judge about to preside over her biggest case yet. Masks will fall. Rules will break. And the most dangerous sin... will be falling for him. ***Mostly smut with a little plot*** #1 in masked - 5/18/25 #1 in power imbalance - 5/18/25 #2 in secret identities - 5/18/25

TADEUS (Bringer Of Doom) by LizzyFatima

⚠️MATURE READERS ONLY⚠️ DARK ROMANCE ⚠️ They called me the Chosen One, but I never asked to be chosen. My survival was not a blessing; it was a scar etched into my soul, a reminder of a fate that defied the natural order. They revere me for enduring the unendurable, but they do not see the price I paid-or the darkness that followed. In a world where the Moon's will shapes destiny, I have always been an outlier, my existence whispered about in fear and awe. My path was not meant to cross with his-Tadeus, the son of gods and the heir to power unimaginable. Unmerciful and grim, he was destined for a bond that promised greatness, a future that did not include me. But when our worlds collide, the pull between us is undeniable, perpetual, and utterly forbidden. What begins as a reluctant alliance becomes something far more dangerous, testing the boundaries of fate, loyalty, and the truth of what the Moon has planned. Ours is a connection that should not exist, a bond forged in defiance of the natural order. Where his touch ignites, it also destroys, and every moment I spend in his shadow feels like a war between my survival instincts and the dangerous allure of surrender. His pain mirrors my own, but it is his darkness that calls to me-a feral, ceaseless need that promises ruin. With every choice we make, we teeter on the edge of a revelation that could upend everything we know about destiny and desire. But the deeper I fall into his world-and his arms-the more I wonder: Am I defying fate, or fulfilling it?

Her heart stopped beating in her chest, oh god she couldn't do that. She could barely take him touching her without freaking out. His hand moved to the side of her neck his thumb by her ear. He didn't force her to look up just waited for her decision. Isaiah had no idea if she would accept his offer or not. If she didn't then he was going to have her body right here and now. If she did then she'd get her three days ,and he'd have to wait for that pleasure. More than likely he'd have to hunt her down again.
