Seventeen-year-old Elara Voss has always been different. With her ghost-pale skin and sea-glass eyes, she's the girl no one trusts-the girl who doesn't quite fit. No one knows the truth: that her little brother's "accidental" death years ago wasn't so accidental, and that every man who's ever tried to hurt her has never walked away alive.

Now she's the quiet storm behind a string of killings, balancing the scales her way, while the world calls her a monster.

Detective Elias Vale, a twenty-two-year-old prodigy with a sharp mind and an unshakable sense of justice, is assigned to the case. But the deeper he digs, the more every trail leads back to her-the pale girl who seems to haunt every shadow of the murders. He knows she's hiding something. She knows he's right.

What begins as interrogation turns into obsession. What begins as a hunt becomes a twisted slow-burn dance between predator and prey. Elias wants to stop her. Elara wants to ruin him. And somewhere between blood and law, hatred and fascination, something darker begins to bloom.

The only question is-who will destroy who first?All Rights Reserved

The Death Of Eternity by yuriiieee05

Born without empathy, Elara was considered a monster long before the real ones invaded Earth. Now, in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by beasts, her lack of fear has made her the perfect assassin. She kills without remorse, surviving in the ruins where humans are nothing more than cattle. Her latest contract promises a fortune: kill a mysterious recluse living in the Spire. But the target, Valerius, isn't human. He is an 800-year-old vampire who is faster, stronger, and infinitely more bored than she is. When Elara fails to assassinate him, Valerius spares her life with a twisted counter-offer. He doesn't want to fight; he wants to die. He hires Elara to find a way to bypass his immortality and end his centuries of stagnation. Elara accepts the job, but as she searches for a way to destroy the vampire, she finds herself battling a new, unfamiliar emotion. In a world defined by death, the most dangerous risk she can take is falling in love with the man she was hired to kill.

Auditing The Heart Of a King by anitachan749

They sent a ghost to destroy a king. Her name is Elara. A weapon forged in the cold logic of a dying future, sent back in time with a single purpose: to be the Catalyst of Failure for Adrian Vance. Adrian is not just a target. He is a genius CEO, a charismatic idealist nicknamed the "King" of the tech world for his brilliant dreams. But behind the handsome, successful facade, he is a living anomaly, a paradox whose success is destined to create a golden age... while simultaneously erasing Elara's world from existence. Her mission is simple: ruin his company, destroy his name, and break his spirit. But what happens when the auditor begins to feel? What happens when a weapon develops a will of its own? Elara's mission is to exploit Adrian's weaknesses, but all she finds is strength: a heart of such sincere kindness and a trust so absolute, it begins to unravel every line of her programming. And Adrian, who should see her as a threat, instead sees the only interesting, illogical variable in his perfect world. As their dangerous attraction deepens, they discover they are not just enemies; they are pawns in an older, darker game. A proxy war fought by gods in the shadows... a vengeful ghost from the future and a ruthless father from the past... both vying for the ultimate prize: Adrian himself. Cornered and hunted from every side, Elara is forced to make an impossible choice. To save the life of the man she now loves, she must become the monster she was pretending to be. She must become the architect of his public ruin, the villain of his story, committing the ultimate betrayal as the ultimate act of love. In a war across time where every truth is a lie and every sacrifice leaves a scar, can a ghost from the future save a king from his own destiny by auditing his heart first?

The Billionaire's Secret Daughter by wbnocturne

A poor girl in a rich world. A forbidden love worth risking everything. ------- I was nobody. Just a diner waitress struggling to raise my little brother. Until a man in a black suit walked in and told me the truth: I'm the daughter of one of the richest men in the city. Now I live in a mansion I don't belong in, surrounded by whispers, enemies, and secrets. My new classmates call me a fraud. My father barely looks at me. And then there's him. Adrian Vale. My brother's best friend. The arrogant heir who can ruin me with a single word. He swears he hates me-yet he's always there when I fall. But the deeper I dig into my mother's death, the more dangerous this world becomes. And the closer I get to Adrian, the harder it is to stay away. Because if loving him is forbidden... then why does it feel like my only chance at surviving? -------- Seventeen-year-old Lena Cruz has spent her life in the shadows-working nights at a diner, caring for her younger brother, and keeping a low profile in their small town. But when a mysterious black car shows up outside her school, she learns the truth: She is the illegitimate daughter of one of the wealthiest families in the city. To protect her, she's swept away into a new life of penthouses, private schools, and luxury she never asked for. But being the new girl at her elite prep school paints a giant target on her back. And then there's Adrian Vale-the infuriatingly gorgeous heir to the empire who hates her guts. He's her half-brother's best friend... and sworn to protect her.

Luminous Obsession: Book One by LeooSznn

He watches her. He follows her. He knows her every move. To him, she isn't just a woman-she's the obsession, the one light in a world he'll burn down to possess. Livia Vale never wanted to be seen this closely. But the stranger who shadows her isn't a stranger anymore-he's in her life, her thoughts, her veins. Every warning sign tells her to run, yet every stolen glance pulls her deeper into his orbit. ⚠️ This novel contains themes of psychological control, obsession, and morally complex relationships intended for mature audiences. As his devotion twists into control and his love bleeds into obsession, she's forced to confront the truth: some cages are built not from iron, but from desire. In a game of predator and prey, can she resist the darkness that craves her-or will she surrender to a passion that was never meant to set her free?

Healer's Mark by kara_fd

Now she's cursed - her touch doesn't mend, it reveals. Pain. Secrets. Death. When a wounded royal soldier named Kael is brought to her, she swears to keep her distance. But Kael doesn't want to be healed. He wants her touch - even if it kills him. Their bond is forbidden. Their magic is alive. And every time they touch, something ancient wakes beneath their skin. 🔥 A story of ruin and devotion. Of gods buried in shame and lovers who refuse to die quietly. Perfect for fans of dark academia, star-crossed lovers, and slow-burn obsession.

The Professor's Obsession by Rosalina_Writes

Vienne Marlow, a medical student and his intern. She planned on surviving her internship peacefully and quietly-keep her head down, get the credits, and get it done without drawing anyone's attention. But that was before him. Before the late-night encounters, the smirks across lecture halls, the hands that shouldn't have touched her but did. Before she realized her professor wasn't just watching her-he was studying her. Mapping her. Obsessing over every way she could be his. Dr. Sebastian Vale, a surgeon and her professor. He wanted her bent over his desk, legs spread, skirt pushed up, panties on the floor, hair in his fist, screaming his name loud enough for the whole building to hear.
