Her name is Romance Brandaõ.  
A brilliant student, adored and used to shining in the spotlight... far too arrogant to imagine that the target of her contempt could shake her picture-perfect world.

His name is Côme Alves.  
Former inmate. Child of the favelas.  
He has one mission: change his path. Rebuild. Redeem himself.

But what he didn't expect? Her. Her hatred. Her pain.  
What she didn't expect? Him. His gaze. His calm. His hunger for life.

Two worlds, completely at odds.  
A collision. A downfall. A rebuilding.  
One step. Then another. Toward redemption... or toward ruin.All Rights Reserved

She was sold on the night she turned eighteen. He wasn't supposed to be there. And he wasn't supposed to choose her. But he did. He didn't touch her. He didn't ask her name. He only made one promise before he walked away And that promise changed everything. He was the country's most reckless heir. She was a girl no one wanted. What began in silence turned into an obsession. And in the middle of it all One broken girl. One ruined boy. And a love the world wasn't ready for.

At seventeen, I was just another foster kid....until Carlos Salazar made me believe in forever. Reckless smile. Dangerous charm. A touch that felt like fire. For one fleeting moment, he was everything. Until the night he left me broken. Now I'm twenty-two. An assassin. My world runs on blood and contracts, not love. The girl he knew is buried. But the cartel doesn't care about scars, and fate doesn't care about promises. My new assignment? Protect the man who ruined me. He doesn't recognize me. I remember everything. The lies. The scars. The night that turned me into this. Carlos wants the sweet girl he lost. But someone else has already seen the woman I've become....sharp, dangerous, untouchable. And in his eyes, softness is weakness. I swore I'd never love again. But between the man who broke me and the one who would never let me heal, my heart has become a battlefield. And when the truth finally bleeds out, all that's left are sinners with watercolour eyes. -Dark romance -Assassin FMC -Enemies to lovers -Love triangle -Obsession

F.A.I.T.H. by JoPRBooks

"I was broken. Nothing, no one could fix me. Until you came into my life again. I wish I had gone with you that day instead of him. Because, now I can't imagine how I spent the previous years of my life without you by my side. You are my savior. You showed me that its okay to be broken and you showed me that I wasn't alone. You were with me. i love you for that. But I hate that I love you. I was never good with love. I'm scared that one day I'll wake up without you by my side. One day you will realize that you are better off without me and I don't want that day to come. Not now, not ever. I love you too much to let you go. I finally have a place in this world and that is next to you. You once said, 'Our mistakes compliment each other.' Truer words than these were never said before. We are both broken and incomplete but together, we're whole and we're fixed. We might be too bad for the others, but we are good for each other. They say all good things come to an end, but I'm bad and so are you. Together, we are horrible. But that just means that we're inevitable. You are mine and I promise to forever be yours."

His Heart, Mine by venuserve

She swears she hates him. He's convinced he hates her more. But when secrets, lies, and late-night whispers begin to blur the line between enemies and something they wouldn't even consider, neither of them is ready for what's coming. *** Aliana is loud, impulsive, and dangerously unpredictable. She lies when she's scared, smiles when she's breaking, and keeps everyone away with her endless sarcasm and sharp tongue. She doesn't need anyone. Especially not him. Ali is silent storms and cold stares. The boy with the bad reputation, a past no one talks about, and a temper that makes people flinch. He wants nothing to do with drama, especially when it wears red lipstick and calls him names. They can't stand each other. So why do they keep ending up alone in the same room? Why does every fight feel like foreplay? And why does hating him hurt more than it should? ~~~~~~ He kisses me, again and again, raw and consuming, and then pulls away; I can feel his green eyes piercing my soul. "What you told me last time, say it again," he whimpers breathlessly. "What?" I manage to ask, confused, and reel him in again for another kiss. He pulls back again, his breath hot against my skin. "That you hate me, tell me that you hate me." "I hate you," I tell him almost instantly, the lie burning on my tongue. He kisses me harder and more hungrily, and the words slip out again from my tongue: "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." His murmurs deepen into groans, and at this exact moment, I ask myself how I'm still standing, still breathing, still present. ~~~~~~

A dark romance of obsession, trauma, and twisted fate. 18+ | Trigger Warnings: Toxic Relationships, Violence, Forced Marriage! Ur writer -- Anvi writes___

Lilah by AshlynPope

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

FALLEN FOR A BAD BOY {BAD MEETS BADDEST} by OMALOVESRED

She witnessed horror... and became one. After surviving a harrowing near-rape and watching her best friend brutally assaulted and murdered before her eyes, Aurora vanished-emotionally. What rose from the ashes was someone unrecognizable: Cold. Fearless. Savage. Untouchable. She trusts no one. Loves no one. And as far as she's concerned, no man alive could ever break through her fortress of ice. Love? Dead. Her rules? Simple. No emotions. No attachments. No second chances. But her new college? A battlefield. And him? Leonard Grande - the kind of trouble she didn't prepare for. Wounded. Rebellious. Addictive. Dangerous. A walking paradox with a face carved by gods and a soul damaged by demons. A notorious playboy who takes pleasure in breaking girls, shredding hearts like paper-because he believes every girl is a liar in disguise. Until Aurora. She doesn't look at him like he matters. She doesn't fall. She doesn't even flinch. And that pisses him off. Now it's war. A toxic game of destruction and seduction. She wants to erase him. He wants to ruin her. But when secrets from the past start surfacing, both realize they've been walking in the dark... and maybe-just maybe-they were destined to collide. How deep do their scars go? And who's really pulling the strings in this web of pain and passion. Dive into a dark college romance where love is a weapon, trust is deadly, and only the strongest survive. When bad meets baddest... there are no rules. Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of sexual violence, emotional trauma, murder, psychological manipulation, and abusive behavior. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Some scenes may be distressing or triggering to survivors. ©2025

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2) by immoralLaurel

Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

The Devil's Doll by UNHOLIC7

"I met him on the night I was planning to run away - he was holding a gun, and smiling." She thought her father's fists were the worst life could give her-until she met him. Lina, silent, obedient, and when she's kidnapped and thrown into the world of Zane Valerio- the cold, dangerous Italian mafia capo who rules his empire from a building that used to be a warehouse of blood. He's power in motion. Dark eyes, tailored suits, and death in his shadow. She's innocence he doesn't understand. He doesn't do softness. She doesn't know violence like his. But fate doesn't care. He promises protection, but demands obedience. She swears she hates him, but her heart and body say otherwise. She's terrified of him. He's addicted to her silence. And somewhere in the middle, obsession blooms. 2- Aug - 2025 #1 - dark friction 28 - July - 2025 #3- truma recovery 09- October -2025 #1- abusive home
