A string of brutal murders. Love born amidst chaos. A killer too close to home.

Detective Jo Milner is no stranger to complex cases. But when a killer lurking in the shadows leaves behind a cryptic clue pointing to the enigmatic Dr Reid, Jo finds herself drawn into a web of dark secrets, danger and desire.

Professor, practising psychologist and consulting profiler, Killian Reid has no interest in women. That was until Jo came knocking on his door. He knows what he wants, and he wants her.

As the killer grows bolder and their unlikely partnership turns into something more, Jo and Killian must unravel the truth before the darkness claims another victim.

Ephemeral by gothicletters

بين الظلمات والهمس by 9qak1551

مقدّمة ________ في هذا الكتاب، لا أقدّم قصصًا تُروى، بل ظلالًا تُرى... كل كلمة هنا هي صدى لروحٍ لم تجد طريقها إلى النور، وكل سطرٍ هو همسٌ من أعماقٍ لا يصلها الضوء. كتبتُ هذه الصفحات لا لأُعبّر، بل لأُنزف. لأدع الأصوات التي خنقتها العتمة تتحدث أخيرًا، ولو بصوتٍ مرتجفٍ بين أنفاس الليل. هنا، يسكن الصمت أكثر من الضجيج، وتتنفّس الكلمات ببطء كأنها تخشى أن توقظ شيئًا نائمًا منذ زمنٍ بعيد. كل حرفٍ هو خطوة داخل متاهة من الأفكار الغامضة، من الذكريات التي لم تمُت تمامًا، ومن الخيالات التي تختبئ خلف الجفون المغلقة. في "بين الظلام والهمس" لن تجد الحقيقة واضحة، ولن تعرف إن كنت تقرأ أم تُقرأ. فالكتاب لا يُحكى، بل يُسمع... في أعماقك، حين يخفت كل شيء من حولك، وتبقى أنت وهمسك الداخلي فقط. أغلق النور، وافتح الصفحات... دع الظلام يُكمل حديثه، ودع الهمس يعلو حتى يصير صوتك. فربما، في نهاية هذا الطريق المظلم، لن تجد الإجابات، لكنك ستتعلم كيف تصغي لما لم يجرؤ أحدٌ على قوله من قبل.

Aradhya- The Warrior by yukiwrites02

📌 Disclaimer / Intro Note for Readers: When I first started this story, I was accused of copying from a book named Siara. At that time, I honestly didn't know about it, but now I do. This version is a completely rewritten plot, with fresh twists, new character arcs, and my own vision. Nothing here is taken from anywhere else-this is purely my creation. °•°•° Aradhya Rajvansh's life shattered the day her own family turned their backs on her, believing lies that landed her in prison. After four years, she walks free-not as the girl she once was, but as a woman forged in pain and silence. With only her younger brother Ansh by her side, she rebuilds her life far away from home, shutting her heart to the world. But destiny has other plans. Her path collides with Rishav Raghuvanshi-a man of quiet strength, protective warmth, and ruthless determination. Thrust into his family through marriage, Aradhya finds herself torn between old wounds and the possibility of a new beginning. While Rishav's unwavering presence starts breaking down her walls, shadows of betrayal and enemies from the past threaten to return. This is a story of heartbreak, resilience, and the slow, tender healing of a warrior's heart.

لم تَكُنْ عَوْدَتُكَ مِنْ أَمْرِيكَا مَجَرَّدَ صُدْفَةٍ عَابِرَةٍ، أَيُّهَا الْأَسْمَرُ. لَقَدْ كَانَ الْقَدَرُ يَرْسُمُ خَرِيطَةَ لِقَاءِنَا مُنْذُ الْبِدَايَةِ. رواية تحتوي على عنف و مشاهد دموية ليست لأصحاب القلوب الضعيفة🔞 رواية للتايكوك ليست مثلية.

BEAUTIFUL CAGE ❤️‍🩹 A BITTER TRUTH by Sanjana0097

"You want to run away kitten, tell me you wanted to get away from me " he asked calm in dangerous voice. "N..no P..please l..I am sorry" she begged joining her hands. She was scared seeing his ragefull eyes, she curled and dig her face between in her knees. He grabbed that girl's leg and pulled her towards him. She scream, her eyes widened seeing the hot iron rod in his hand. Her heart trembling. "I will never do this please leave me please forgive me this time..... Ahhhhhhhhh.......

جيتيني وأنا تايه وسط موج الحنين by na_jm96

ليست كل الحكايات تبدأ بابتسامة .. بعضها يولد من صمتٍ طويل من نظرة لم تُفهم أو من قرار صغير كان كافيًا ليقلب كل شي هنا لا تبحث عن أبطال خارقين ولا عن نهايات مثالية هنا ستجد القلوب كما هي ضعيفة عنيدة محطّمة لكنها تقاوم هذه الرواية ليست مجرد قصة بل مرآة وقد ترى نفسك بين السطور دون أن تنتبه مرحبًا بك في عالمٍ لا يشبه أحدًا لكنّه قد يشبهك

كسرة ظهر by nisan_ayhab

تحتُّ الركام أصواتٌ انقطع أنينها ودقاتٌ توقف نبضها فرحةً لم تكتمل وأحلامٌ أجهضت قبل المخاض تحتُ الركام قصصٌ لم تكتب لها النهاية وحكاياتٌ رحل من كان يرويها ألعابٌ لطخت بدماء الأطفال تحتُ الركام أسماءٌ تساقطت من السجلّ المدني مثل تساقط الأوراق من الأشجار فأصبحت في سماء النسيان تحتٌ الركام وجوهٌ تغيرت ملامحها فأنكرها الزمان والمكان فشيعت أجسادهم لمقابرٍ في الجنان تحت الركام ارتجف الأطفال خوفًا فغادروا الحياة ولم يجدوا الأمان وصايا خُطت بحبرٍ من الخذلان وأمنياتٌ غادرت عالم الخيال تحت الركام حيث يشهد الظلم والقهر
