From the war-torn streets of Seville to the burning sands of North Africa, Isabel Sáenz Murphy's life has been forged by fire. She has lost everything but her defiance, and in Gibraltar's military hospitals she earns a reputation as a woman who bows to no man.
Across the desert, Lieutenant Robert Blair Mayne is carving his own legend with the newly formed SAS - reckless, brilliant, and feared in equal measure. When their worlds collide, Isabel and Paddy are drawn into a storm of passion and conflict that rages as fiercely as the war itself.
Together, they must survive a world where courage, loyalty, and love are tested beyond all limits.

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.Lengkap

With the fate of her family now hanging in the balance, Alessandra is given one final ultimatum: deliver Renzo to them or watch the future of the Benedetti's crumble. Trapped in a game she cannot win, she has no choice but to play. And the clock is ticking. Yet nothing complicates a losing hand like carrying a baggage for the wrong man. Like a reckoning that could set fire to everything. Like a decision that turns an already twisted web into a noose around all their necks. As alliances fracture and betrayals mount, Alessandra makes a decision that leaves everyone, even the love of her life, dangling over the edge.

Crimson Oath
When war between humans and vampires ignites, blood and trust are both in short supply. Anneliese Thorne, a quiet village healer, is captured by the ruthless vampire commander Lucien. Forced into his service as both healer and poisoner, she survives only by her wit, her faith, and her quiet defiance. But what begins as captivity turns into something far more dangerous. In the shadows of a gothic castle, Anneliese learns the truth of vampire courts-treachery, secrets, and desires that threaten to devour her. And in the heart of it all is Lucien: feared, merciless, yet drawn to her light in ways he cannot explain. As plots tighten and loyalties fracture, Anneliese finds herself the key to survival-not only for herself, but for Lucien's soul. Caught between betrayal and devotion, war and wonder, they must decide if trust between mortal and monster can be more than a fragile dream. Their bond will demand sacrifice. Their love will demand faith. And when dawn finally breaks, it may reveal not only redemption, but a new beginning for them both.Lengkap

The Scars We Share
Before the war, Vivian Becker was defined by the mundane beauty of her life: the laughter shared with friends over weekend drinks, the diligent hours spent poring over textbooks, the comforting predictability of a life lived strictly "by the book." Her first year of university should have been a rite of passage, but instead, it became a crucible that utterly consumed her. The unfolding crisis stripped her bare, tearing away her family, her home, and every last shred of the innocent world she knew. Lieutenant Abel Palmer, on the other hand, had never known such normalcy. His reality was one of perpetual twilight, leading clandestine operations against the monstrous 'echoes' of the war - the grotesque, unknown creatures born from twisted science. A hardened veteran, he was accustomed to dealing with threats, not feeling. Yet, his detached professionalism shattered when his new squad member arrived. She was small, yes, but her spirit was an inferno. Vivian Becker, the girl who lost everything, was finally the one who could challenge the unshakable Lieutenant Palmer. He'd met his match. Now, a world-ending mission looms, demanding their absolute focus. But the burgeoning, undeniable feelings between Abel and Vivian threaten to complicate everything. As their professional boundaries blur, a deeper question emerges: In their desperate pursuit to save humanity, will their growing bond be a strength? Or will their shared, burning desire for revenge consume them, forcing them to choose between global salvation and personal retribution?Lengkap
