In the city of Eloria, memories aren't sacred-they're for sale. The rich buy joy in crystal vials, the poor sell their pasts to survive, and Nara has woken to find seven years of her life stolen. Her only clue? The face of a stranger who knows her name... and every secret she's forgotten.
As Nara dives into the dangerous underworld of the Memory Market, she's hunted by Collectors, betrayed by allies, and drawn to the man she can't remember loving. But with every memory she recovers, one question burns brighter: was she ever the hero of her own story-or the villain?

OBSESSION'S DESIGN
One look was all it took. Luna never noticed the man watching her from the shadows of that hospital corridor-but he saw everything. The way she smiled at the nurse, the fear in her eyes when she entered the exam room, the soft kindness in her voice. In that moment, he decided: she would be his. But Luna's world crumbled when the results came back. A rare, life-threatening condition. One chance of survival-a bone marrow transplant from a donor who refused to help. Desperate, Luna searched for answers, unaware that every road led back to him. The illness. The rejection. Even the donor file "accidentally" left behind. All of it was his design. Because he didn't want to save her. He wanted to own her. As Luna fights to survive, she discovers the truth: she isn't dying. She was never sick. And the only thing growing inside her... are his children. She thought she needed a cure. What she really needs-is to escape. ---Complete

Silas' Infatuation
When Silas Quinn notices dark-skinned Celeste Greene at a hospital, his whole world changes. He may think it changed for the good, but it's actually for the worst. Silas slowly but surely becomes obsessed with Celeste's melanin skin and big dark brown eyes without even realizing his new infatuation. His addiction to her makes the rest of his world go dull as he only thinks about being with Celeste. ~~~ "You're mine, and will always be mine. Don't ever think you can run away from me." Her beautiful eyes looked up at me with hate and disgust. "You mental, possessive, sick--" I put two fingers on her swollen lips. She immediately stopped talking as fear spread throughout her face. It hurt me to look at her like this. "I know you don't mean that," my voice cracked. "Baby, I know you love me." The fear erased from her face and was replaced with malice. "I have NEVER fucking loved you! And if you loved me, I wouldn't be here right now." My impatience began to consume me and I found my fingers tightening around her neck. "You'll learn to love me. You've always been mine! From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew." A single tear slipped out of Celeste's right eye but her voice remained strong. "You son of a bitch." With my hand still wrapped around her neck, Celeste spit on my face. **BWWM**Complete

With the help of Elara, a defiant art restorer with secrets of her own, Ren is no longer just reading history-she is living it.
