OBSESSION. too personal
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.Complete
Of Blood and Hope || The Walking Dead - Daryl Dixon
First book of the series Of Blood and Hope. Adeline Dixon was ten when the world ended, but grief had already carved her hollow. She's no stranger to silence, to bruises hidden under long sleeves, to pretending not to feel. She bleeds quietly, like someone used to being left behind. Daryl never wanted to be anyone's guardian. But something in her - sharp and burning and unbearably alive - calls to something in him he thought was long dead. In the ruins of Georgia, amid blood and ash, the two of them learn what it means to stay - even when you don't know how. ** Disclaimer: The Walking Dead and its characters are not my property.

When a stranger appears with food, warmth, and the promise of something more, she's forced into a fight with the one thing that's kept her alive this long - her pride. To take his hand means stepping into a world she doesn't understand, one that whispers of safety wrapped in chains. To refuse means another night on the pavement, another morning she might not wake up to see. Survival always comes with a price. Flare has to decide how much of herself she's willing to pay.Complete

"Her story didn't end with the dead. It began with them." Before the dead began to rise, Mara Holt was already living her own kind of hell. Trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage and haunted by the memory of her first love. But when the world collapses, Shane finds her again; bruised, broken, and still the only woman who's ever made him lose control. Saving her becomes his obsession. Loving her becomes his downfall. As the lines between right and wrong blur, Mara's loyalty to her brother is tested by the pull of a man who refuses to let her go, even when the world is burning. Their connection is raw, reckless, and impossible to hide, especially when survival means making choices that no longer feel human. But in a world where love can get you killed, Mara and Shane discover something far more dangerous than the dead: what happens when you find something worth killing for.

The snow never forgets. That's the first thing they learned when they found her- half-dead, half-shadow, and entirely silent. She wore a scar like a warning. She had no name... or too many. And her eyes? Storm-grey. Unbothered. Unblinking. Unforgiving. They chained her. Whipped her. Tried to break her open like a confession. She smiled instead. They said she was a terrorist. A spy. A ghost. No one knew the truth. But when word spread that he was coming- The Director. The Ghost Hunter. Even the storm outside quieted. Because some stories aren't just secrets. They're scars with a heartbeat. And this one? It started with a girl on her knees... and ends when they both stop breathing.Complete
