In the intimate anonymity of The Velvet Room, a speakeasy where real names are forbidden, Vivienne Thorne is searching for an escape. Grieving a broken engagement and a lost friend, she promises to "live a little" for one night only. She's Elle-no past, no future, just a silk dress and a mask.

Then she meets "Rowan," a man with a magnetic gaze and one simple rule: "We only get to ask one real question."

Their connection is immediate, a slow burn of confessions and unspoken truths. Amidst the whispered secrets of their pasts, they find a pocket of unreality, a shared space of sensual longing. But the morning light brings them back to reality, a silent, solitary farewell.

Until a week later.

Vi is back at work when "Rowan" walks into the boardroom, a high-profile client. He's not Rowan anymore; he's Dr. Theo Mercer, a trauma surgeon and global non-profit founder. He recognizes her. She recognizes him. And the intense, reckless chemistry of one night is now simmering beneath the surface of their professional lives.

Confrontation is inevitable, and the unspoken questions hang between them. The velvet darkness of their one night is about to be exposed to the harsh light of day, forcing them to confront a stunning question: Was it real? Or just a beautiful fantasy?

"I've spent every night since wondering if I broke the rule by falling for a name I didn't even know."

Strangers Until Midnight is a captivating story of passion, fate, and the dangerous game of falling for a beautiful lie. Will the truth of who they are ruin the magic they found, or will it make their connection undeniable?

Heirs And Hunters de crazypoodle

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

Connection | 18+ de writes_ASQ

"I want you to have control." He was supposed to be my mentor, and I, his mentee. Instead, he became a warlock, and I, his beguiled. In the middle of their secrecy, they will find a connection they had never before. Secrets will be unfolded that they never knew existed and promises that were meant to be kept will be found broken. Chains were there to bind her hands. Instead, he ended up bounding his heart with her. Some things are meant to be kept in the dark but, indeed, what's done in the dark always comes out in the light. Not only will the hands be bound but their hearts will also be locked together. Their bodies will mingle and dance in the darkness of the night but where's the fun if it's always naked and in bed, right? Wishes will be granted. Fantasies will be fulfilled. Things were meant to be a game but they ended up playing with their hearts. The bro code will break along with many hearts. Ethan Hayes, 33, is a computer geek at the day, and dominant at night. For others, sex may be a necessity, and relationships may be a norm, but for him, it's a commitment that he has no interest in. An impossible connection, as rare as him being with any of his best friends' sisters. It's just not supposed to happen with the wrong person. But we can't always control everything. It's hard. Just like it's hard to control her. Olivia Camerson, 26, is an outspoken personality in daylight and an erotica writer at night under her blanket. She is not an innocent virgin girl. But it sure is unusual to find a trustworthy person to share her fantasies with. On the internet, she is famous for her intense, passionate, and kinky novels. She calls herself an expert who hasn't indulged in it in person. Goes by the name Evilo. Until someone found out what her username was. Sometimes not even the closest person knows your darkest secret. However, you may find yourself sharing it with someone you never imagined to even reckon with.

ONLY Her Name de Malimonroealia23345

28-year-old Danica Monroe lives unapologetically. Her days blur into nights of neon lights, reckless freedom, and fleeting pleasures. She's not chasing love - she's chasing experience. With a sharp tongue and a guarded heart, Danica has mastered the art of keeping things casual. Relationships? Too messy. Too binding. She's built walls not out of bitterness, but out of survival. Then one night, everything shifts. She meets him. Ben Carter. Not her usual type - too composed, too intense, too... magnetic. Their chemistry is undeniable, but Danica brushes it off. Just another night. Just another man. Until it isn't.That one night lingers. Not in her body - in her mind. She hates that. She hates him for it. Because Danica doesn't do emotional hangovers. And yet, she can't stop replaying the way he looked at her like she was more than just a moment. Meanwhile, Ben Carter is the kind of man who built his empire brick by brick, sacrifice by sacrifice. At 35, he's the CEO of a tech conglomerate, a man who commands boardrooms and buries feelings beneath spreadsheets and strategy. Relationships are distractions. He doesn't date - he pays for discretion. His nights are transactional, his heart locked away until Danica. She's chaos wrapped in beauty. She's everything he shouldn't want - and everything he can't ignore. For the first time, Ben finds himself unravelling. She's not a business deal. She's not a fantasy. She's real. And she's dangerous to everything he's built. Now, both of them are on a collision course neither planned. Lust turns into longing. Fear turns into vulnerability. And the question looms: Can two people who run from love survive what it feels like to finally fall?--- Hey guys, just a quick note-this book isn't exactly dark and gritty, but it's not a fluffy romance either. It dances somewhere between the two. Trigger Warnings: Instances of rape Rape Instances of suicide Abuse Violence Death Language
