Lunden had always been the picture of innocence-bright-eyed, soft-spoken, and the kind of girl whose report cards never carried less than an A. She lived in her own quiet world, untouched by trouble, believing the best in people and keeping her heart guarded.
Then she met D-Low.
He was everything she'd been warned about-rude, ruthless, and feared by almost everyone who crossed his path. Yet, there was something magnetic about him. His brown skin seemed to glow in the light, his dimples cutting deep when he smiled-though he rarely did. Diamond grills glimmered when he spoke, a flash of dangerous charm behind every word, and his long dreads framed his sharp, confident face.
He was the storm to her sunshine, the chaos to her calm. And somehow, when their worlds collided, neither one would ever be the same.

A Love So Dark
Lila carried herself like she knew exactly what she was doing-even when she didn't. Confidence clung to her in the way she walked, the way her hips swayed without effort, the way her eyes teased like she was always in on a secret. She wasn't just pretty-she was captivating. The kind of girl who could laugh one second, then look at you in a way that made your chest tighten the next. And when she moved-whether it was fighting, dancing, or something in between-it wasn't just skill.
Beautifully Obsessed
He was her rock, her best friend, her first love. He became her worst nightmare, her tormentor, her captor She was his everything. His obsession. Their story should have ended with that court case, but he's found a way back to her, and he won't give her another opportunity to escape. Not this time. ------------------------------------------- Shivering, I sobbed out, unable to speak, unable to move. "Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning!

You can't keep running." "You left me for dead." "I didn't know what I was walking away from. I don't want to lose either of you but I think I'm on the verge of losing you both. I've never had anything to lose before." He looks so broken. So crushed under the weight of his confession. ╔══════ 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙨 𝙖 𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙎𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙝𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣. ══════╝ ✓ completed [ 10.09.23 ] [ dark themes, strong language, violence ]Complete

A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive. He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby." Some hold you like you're a prayer-then break you like a curse. Because he has secrets. Dark ones. Dangerous ones. The kind of truths that can't be buried without blood. So now the real question is... Will she uncover who he truly is-before it's too late? Can love survive when it's soaked in lies and obsession? And when she finally sees the monster behind the man...

She Blushes, I Bite: A Lost Boys Fanfiction
She Blushes, I Bite: A Lost Boys Fanfiction. FINISHED AND COMPLEATED. This is book 2 of Looks Can Be Deceiving. If you haven't read the first book, I recommend starting with it to avoid confusion. It's published and completed on my account, but feel free to read this one first if you prefer. In Santa Carla, monsters don't hide beneath beds. They wear mesh and white leather and flirt like it's foreplay. Paul is the kind of nightmare you don't wake up from - tall, bleach-blond, swagger laced with sin. His clothes shouldn't work, but they do. His jokes shouldn't land, but they sting. He smells like trouble and tastes like it too. There's blood on his breath, humor in his cruelty, and a slow-burning hunger stitched into every sideways grin. He's immortal. Predatory. And completely uninterested in rules. Nina's everything he's not. Mortal. Fragile. Wrapped in oversized sleeves and jittery breath. Her hoodie's her shell. Her glasses slide down her nose as she tries to disappear between apologies. She stutters through sentences and flinches at compliments - soft, sweet, and utterly human in a city that isn't. She doesn't know what Paul is. He knows exactly what she is - prey with potential. He jokes about murder. She laughs, half-confused. He bites with words. She blushes like it might be affection. She's afraid of everything. He's only afraid he might ruin her too fast. Their chemistry is cruel - opposites igniting across damp boardwalks and flickering neon. She tries to walk faster. He keeps catching up. And somewhere between the blushes and the smirks, a game begins. She's not meant for his world. But she keeps choosing his orbit. And he's starting to like how her heartbeat sounds when she's scared.Complete

"Who is allowed to be your bully?"he whispered as if asking her to reveal a secret between both of them. "You are m-my bully?" Rose said more or less confirming the answer. She tilted her head slightly, a pout morphing on her face as she looked at the male who caused the world population to scatter away in fear. "And you have to do whatever I say." Rose scrunched her nose in confusion, knowing Ares since they were children. She had always known that she had to do a task if he commands her to, but why was he repeating this infront of the whole school? "Come here." he motioned the chocolate eyed girl closer to him, his hands gently smoothing down her blue skirt which was ruffled. "Bow down your head Rose." as soon as the girl tilted her head down, her jet black hair shining in sunlight as she adorably fiddled with the golden button on his coat, soft kisses rained down her head decorated in a braid. Gasps were heard all around. And it was the claim enough, declaring to the world that to whom the innocent girl belonged to ARES. Book 2 devil's vow Standalone **NO TOXIC RELATIONSHIP*Complete
Too Dark for you to Love
In the gloomy town of Deathmoure, located amidst misty landscapes, people possessed an unusual trait - they couldn't inflict death on anyone, including themselves. It was a pacifist's dark utopia but for my grieving heart of a white widow, it was a prison - a sanctuary of despair. Needing a path out of this grief-stricken existence, I began my search for a reaper who could aid in my departure. With the newly arrived reaper, broad-shouldered with a charismatic, sly charm that was hard to withstand, I found myself engulfed in a bizarre investigation. Mysterious events began occurring within our rainy town, pointing indirectly toward my mysterious reaper. Amidst this chaos, an unlikely sentiment blossomed within me - love. As the investigation deepened, so did the connection between me and my reaper. It was an unexpected twist, a cosmic joke. I was no longer an icy fortress but a hopeful woman, falling in love with the man who was uncovering the darkest secrets of the people around me. The fighting spirit dormant for so many years in me, now roared to life. August 2023 #1 in dieforyouComplete

Bound By His Obsession [COMPLETED]
Prologue The night was heavy with rain, the kind that swallowed the stars and drowned out the hum of the city. Liana sat by her bedroom window, her heart caught in the same endless loop it had been for years. Kade. His name was a melody and a curse, a thread woven into every moment of her life since she was five years old. She remembered the way his laughter had once been innocent, the way his touch had been casual, careless. But as they grew older, something in him shifted. It was in the way his gaze lingered too long, how his voice turned softer when he said her name. She should have been afraid. Maybe she was, in some small corner of her heart. But she loved him anyway. What Liana didn't know-what she hadn't yet pieced together-was that Kade's devotion had gone far beyond friendship, far beyond love. To him, Liana wasn't just his best friend. She was his anchor, his obsession, the only thing in a world that often felt like chaos. And if he had to keep her close-by any means necessary-then so be it.Complete
