He had everything wealth, power, control.
Until the one woman who wanted nothing from him walked away.

Estelle Brooks came to Serbia with one mission: survive.
Balancing medical studies by day and scrubbing Luka Marković's cold corporate empire by night, she never expected to clash with the ruthless billionaire himself or to become the one woman who dares to challenge him.

Luka is a man haunted by a past love and driven by pride.
But Estelle's fire, her defiance, and her maddening compassion begin to unravel the walls he's spent years building.

Then, without a warning... she's gone.

No goodbye.
No forwarding address.
Just silence.

But Luka isn't used to losing.
Not in business.
Not in love.
And certainly not her.

Now, he's willing to break every rule, cross every border just to find her again.

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.

Married to my stalker by 5kwcq25kwtprivaterel

"He watched me. He followed me. He married me. But I was never supposed to love him back." After surviving a brutal home invasion that stole her childhood and nearly her life, Elara Hayes has spent the last seven years trying to forget. With a dream boutique on the verge of opening and her past seemingly behind her, she's finally starting over. Until the night her boutique burns to the ground. And a man from the shadows steps into the light. Zayne Locke, a cold, enigmatic billionaire, offers her a contract marriage-a solution to her financial ruin in exchange for one year of her life as his wife. What he doesn't tell her? He's the one who saved her that night years ago. And he's been watching her ever since. He claims it was protection. She calls it obsession. But when another stalker emerges-one far more dangerous and unhinged than Zayne-Elara finds herself torn between the man who haunts her and the man who might be the only one who can truly protect her. As the walls close in, dark truths surface, and the line between love and possession blurs, Elara must decide: Can you love the man who watches you in the dark... if he's the only one keeping you alive?

A Surprise Baby in the CEO's Arms by Kyo-Wilder

When Elara was ten, her family collapsed and she was quietly folded into Jonas's world as his supposed "little sister." To her, Jonas was more than a guardian; he was first love, the secret she kept beneath her ribs. She watched him move through life with a confidence she could only admire from afar, learning to treasure small mercies as if they were miracles. At twenty, everything broke. One drunken night Jonas kissed her-an impulsive, confusing violation that read like permission and betrayal all at once. By morning his engagement was announced and by midnight he'd arranged for her to leave the country. He cut contact with the kind of finality that felt like erasure. Six years later, Elara returns-not to beg, but to reclaim the life she's built for her daughter, Lila. She has worked hard, learned to be fiercely self-reliant, and guarded the truth about Lila's father. Running into Jonas at the company where fate plants them both detonates the fragile order they each maintain. He sees the child and demands, stunned and raw, "Give me a plausible explanation-whose child is this?" That question upends them both. For Elara, Lila is survival and dignity. For Jonas, the child is a scandal that could shatter family reputation and the neat certainties he's lived by. This is a slow-burn second-chance romance about motherhood, pride, and whether two people shaped by the same past can find a new future without losing themselves.

Strength in His Arms by EiraQuinn25

At forty-two, fitness instructor Claire Navarro has spent years teaching others how to be strong - while hiding the quiet battles she fights alone. Between raising her teenage daughter and rebuilding her life after an abusive marriage, she's learned to survive without needing anyone. Then comes Ethan Vale, a twenty-eight-year-old CEO who joins her gym on a whim and sees through her armor from day one. Confident, kind, and unexpectedly gentle, he's everything Claire promised herself to stay away from. When her past resurfaces and danger creeps back into her life, Ethan refuses to stand by. What begins as protection soon becomes something neither of them expected - a love that heals, a strength that's shared, and a reminder that even the strongest hearts sometimes need someone to lean on. A slow-burn, age-gap romance about finding safety, love, and peace in the arms of someone who truly sees you.

Through His Darkness by Demi86588

Some people are impossible to save. Kael Asher Marwood is one of them. Controlled. Dangerous. Untouchable. Isolde Marisol Santoro is a trauma therapist with a fire in her blood and the courage to see what others cannot. A single mother who has the heart of a lion and the will of a gazette. Assigned to Kael after a violent accident, she expects high pressure, not the quiet intensity of a man whose secrets could destroy her. In the sterile halls of the trauma wing, their worlds collide. Every glance, every silence, every subtle gesture pulls her closer. But some truths are far too dangerous to uncover - and some desires are impossible to resist. How do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved... without losing yourself in the process? But some people refuse to be saved... until someone dares to try. This story is unedited and I am posting as I write. I aim for a new chapter every 2-3 days. Please vote and leave comments so I know if you want this book to continue. Enjoy!

ELEGANT RED ROUGE by ZephyrNethis

In a world where the past refuses to stay buried and the future lurks in the shadows, Simone - a teenager with a storm-tossed soul - is unwillingly drawn into the heart of a story that isn't hers... yet one that will change her forever. Her father was never truly there, and life with her mother has been nothing more than a string of unanswered silences. As high school nears its end, Simone finds herself swept into a whirlwind of unexpected events, where every choice leaves a wound, and every truth uncovered slices deeper into her sense of self. Forced to face challenges beyond her years and to unravel secrets guarded for decades, she discovers a hidden side of her mother - and a mysterious figure, Signore M., whose shadow seems to haunt the edges of her reality. With a broken heart but a will born of pain, Simone will test the limits of her body, her emotions, and her spirit. She will learn to live at the edge of the abyss, to lose her innocence, and to rise from the ashes of her own story. This is not merely a journey toward adulthood. It is a rebirth. A claiming of destiny. A one-way descent into a truth that wounds - but sets her free.
