"He wants to hear her scream. She's trained to record silence."
Ember Montgomery is a court reporter - precise, guarded, and invisible in a courtroom full of monsters. She's survived more than the cases she transcribes... and she's made peace with staying in the background. Until Killian Stone walks in.
He's the most feared defense attorney in New York - brilliant, brutal, and merciless in and out of court. But when his next high-profile case puts him face to face with Ember, he doesn't just want to win.
He wants her.
Obsessed. Possessive. Dangerous. Killian sees through Ember's silence - and he's determined to pull every secret out of her mouth, one moan at a time.
But Ember has secrets she'd die to protect.
And Killian never plays fair.

BLACK WOMEN MC DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship.

"Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?Cerita Lengkap
Defending The Devil
Khethelo Mzobe doesn't believe in fairy tales-or in men. A dominant force in the courtroom, she's built her life on control, precision, and winning. Love? Irrelevant. Companionship? Unnecessary. Her ambition is the only thing that keeps her warm at night. But when she's assigned the case of Aziel Khumbeni, everything begins to unravel. Aziel is infamous. Accused of murdering his own father, orchestrating bank heists, trafficking drugs, and a trail of other violent crimes, he's already guilty in the court of public opinion. But behind the steel cuffs and cruel reputation is a man who looks at her like he already owns her soul-and speaks like he's studied every crack in her armor. Khethelo takes the case because it's the biggest of her career. She tells herself it's just strategy. Just work. Just business. But every encounter with Aziel is a battle she keeps losing-and somehow, she doesn't mind. As secrets surface and danger creeps closer, Khethelo must confront the one thing she's always avoided: surrender. Because when you're defending the devil... sometimes you fall for him.Cerita Lengkap

But instead, she finds herself drawn to him-captivated by the way he softens only for her. Until the lies start unraveling. A stalker. A warning. A photo soaked in blood and truth. Now, Evelyn is forced to question everything-how much Damien has protected her... and how much he's destroyed to keep her. But loving a man like him comes at a cost.

Just let me hold you while you fall apart." • Obsession doesn't always look like madness-sometimes, it looks like love. • He'd kill to protect her. He already has. • She became his weakness. And he became her ruin. • In his world, love is possession-and she's his favorite sin. (Currently writing and Editing so the story details can change at anytime.

The Court of Bees
"Justice, desire, and obsession-some lines aren't meant to stay uncrossed." Debra Rowe is a sharp, no-nonsense detective with a rising reputation and a tightly guarded heart. She's spent her career chasing criminals, not romance-especially not the kind that looks like her sweet, soft-spoken childhood friend who reappeared in her life a little too handsome and far too charming. Kyle Merrin, the city's young federal prosecutor, is all wide-eyed warmth and loyal smiles on the surface. But behind that boyish face is a man who's spent years orchestrating every step to get closer to her again. And he's not above using every tool in his arsenal-logic, law, or longing. When they're thrown together on a high-stakes drug case, lines blur fast. Between midnight stakeouts, whispered teasing, close calls, and stolen touches, Debra begins to realize she may not always be the one in control. But Kyle's not just falling in love-he's playing the long game. And if anyone thinks they can take her from him, they'll learn just how dangerous a devoted man with a perfect memory and a lawyer's power can be. A story of slow-burning obsession, tactical tenderness, and the quiet unraveling of boundaries between two people who were never meant to stay apart.Cerita Lengkap
