🎻 She plays for the world. But with her, she finally breathes.
Iris is a world-famous cellist, celebrated for her flawless performances-yet drowning under the suffocating weight of perfection. Every note, every bow stroke, every expectation is another chain around her neck.
Then she meets Naomi-mysterious, leather-clad, and unapologetically in control. In her shadow-lit nightclub, Naomi offers Iris something no stage ever has: freedom. Through cuffs, commands, and intoxicating trust, Iris discovers a new kind of music-one that thrums through her veins and shatters the silence of her loneliness.
But passion is never simple. Between the glittering stage and the dark sanctuary of Naomi's world, Iris must learn where her true rhythm lies... before the spotlight burns her away.
🔥 A story of power, surrender, and the symphony of love that can only be written in the dark.

Nocturne 18+
COMPLETED✔️ What follows is a violent clash of worlds, where elegance is destroyed by brutality and innocence is trapped by a darkness far deeper and more dangerous than anything she imagined. Her dream of becoming the greatest ballerina, praised by her parents and supported by a loving friend was once the perfect vision of her life.

In one sudden turn her world is flipped upside down and she meets a man who is nothing like the one she dreamed of. He is ruthless, consumed by his own ego, a mystery to all who encounter him. His abilities are beyond comparison, his morals fractured and ambiguous, and his true intentions buried beneath a veil of darkness. Where once she believed her life was guided by passion and elegance, she now finds herself thrust into a world governed by dominance and brutality, where survival no longer hinges on talent or grace but on submission to a far more unforgiving force.Complete
Brightside
"I shook out of my sad thoughts and tried to look at the brightside. It was hard to find one at first but I did. I clung on to the thought of me being successful and far far away from here."

The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

A ticket to the cruise is quite expensive, but its value cannot be found in all the luxury you'll see around the ship- it is the cost of freedom..."

It opened her mind to a dimension of herself, but it also opened her life to unimaginable dangers that could topple hard-earned achievements in her career. Iris sizzles with unique romance and erotic passion that captures the essence of being truly human. It is an iron-clad love story.Complete

The infamous Sarah Capobianco (gxg)
Iris is supposed to move in a new house with her dad. When she gets there she realizes that she is actually moving in with her new stepmom. At least that's what she thinks. Things are more complicated than they seem. ~ "Where do you think you're going litle girl?" she said arrogantly while a smile formed on her lips. Her eyes travelled to my lips then back to my eyes again. I felt naked. "Do you really think you can come back here and act like nothing happened?" Her smirk was still clearly visible while she finally let go of my chin. "I-I.." I couldn't get any words out, I didn't feel in control. Facing her on the phone was a lot easier than when she was right there, right in front of me. "Don't tell me you lost your voice little one" she said while letting out a laugh. It sounded like this was amusing to her. She could see what she did to me, how she made me feel and it pleased her. She liked being the one in control. ~ **Content Warning: Explicit Content** This online book contains graphic sexual content, explicit language, and depictions of violence that may be disturbing to some readers.

But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.Complete
