Elena Marlowe returns to her hometown after her father's death, planning to sell the old house and leave again. She's also running from a life in the city that no longer fits her, only forced to stay due to her boyfriend of 2 years. What she doesn't expect is to be pulled back into the very place she swore she'd never stay... because of Adrian Blackwell.


The town looked different at night. The streetlights hummed low, casting thin halos of gold against the cracked pavement, and the air smelled faintly of rain and smoke. Elena hadn't meant to wander this far, but there was something about the quiet streets that pulled her deeper, like the town itself wanted to be discovered. That was when she saw him leaning against the doorway of a tattoo shop, dark hair falling into storm-grey eyes, ink curling up his arms like shadows brought to life. He looked dangerous, untouchable, the kind of man people crossed the street to avoid. And yet, for reasons she couldn't explain, Elena didn't look away.

New love, old love, and uncovering family secrets... will Elena ever be the same?...All Rights Reserved

NO DOUBT [bwwm] by bunnygirlsenpaistwin

『 𝙉𝙊 𝘿𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙏 』 What happens when a 22-year old lands a job in a restaurant, and meets the owner's son. Excerpt from book: 《 His voice was low, raspy, laced with something of desire, maybe, but all I could hear was lust of the most unchaste kind. "You know, you drive me crazy,... so fucking insane. And it might just be my madness talking, but I have a feeling you want me." He approached, closing the gap between our two bodies. I tried taking a step back, but only felt the cold kitchen counter against my warm trembling palms. "Do you want me, dolcezza?" He whispered against my ear as his hands found their way to my waist. The heat between my legs was insufferable, and my pounding heart drummed against the walls of my chest. In my head, it was clear, I wanted him, but him, of all people? He lowered his hands to my hips and pulled me impossibly closer to him. I let out a shaky breath, that came out as a soft moan. Shit. "Then be a good girl, and say it." 》 ❦❦❦ Read trigger warnings first. I do NOT own any of the pictures or the music displayed in this book.

THE ENEMY ROSES by ukaynazain

The night was painted in blood and silence. Adrian Moretti leaned back in the leather seat of his blacked-out car, cigarette smoke curling around him like a halo of sin. His men sat rigid, waiting for the signal. The city outside pulsed with neon lights, but for Adrian, all he saw was the target. The daughter of his enemy! "Make it quick. No witnesses," He muttered. Voice low and sharp enough to slice through bone. His men nodded. When Adrian spoke, no one questioned. For years, he had hunted revenge. Every move was a calculated strike, every breath a reminder of the war carved into his veins. Tonight was supposed to be another piece of the puzzle. Simple. Brutal. Effective. Kidnap her. Break his rival's spine with fear. But fate had other plans. Elena Rivera never imagined the chill of night could turn into a nightmare. She was walking home, her heels tapping against the cracked pavement, clutching her bag close. The streets were too quiet, too heavy with something unseen. Then came the shadow. The van. The hands. A sharp cry clawed its way out of her throat, muffled instantly by a rough palm. Panic clawed through her chest as she kicked, scratched, and fought. But the men were too strong, too ruthless. A blindfold smothered her world into blackness, ropes cut into her wrists and the smell of smoke and leather filled her lungs. She had been taken. "You don't give orders here, dolcezza," He whispered. His voice like a knife sliding across skin. He reached out, brushed a strand of hair from her face and Elena flinched. His smile widened, dark and cruel. "You're mine now." And in that moment, Elena knew her life was no longer hers. She had been stolen by the devil himself!

My Knight In Leather by AmouraLWright

Completed!! "I think that I might be falling in love with you, which shouldn't be possible since I barely know you and-" The feeling of something soft and warm covered my lips, and it took me a moment to realize that Adrian was kissing me. Dumbfounded, I stared at him with wide unmoving eyes as he gently pulled away. The kiss was short-lived, but it didn't stop the warmth I felt erupting from my chest. My eyes zeroed in on his lips, "... Do that again... " I whispered, leaning in as my eyes fluttered closed, "... please? " His minty breath fanned my face as he let out a heartfelt chuckle, "Gladly... " Gently grabbing my face in both of his large calloused hands he kissed me once more. Ever Monroe was abandoned in the middle of nowhere by her boyfriend and was found by Adrian Wolf, a street racer with a past he doesn't like to talk about. What happens when he lets her stay the night with him? Will they become close or will they go their separate ways without a second thought?

Vestige by ririwestwrites

• 21-year-old Sasha Warren thought moving back to Silverpine would mean a quiet life. As the town's new forensic scientist, her days should've been filled with reports, evidence bags, and crime scene tape. But Silverpine is no where near ordinary, it's a place where bodies turn up in the woods with strange bite marks, and no one wants to say the word why. Then there's Vincent Alistair. The guy who shows up everywhere she does. Too confident. Too perfect. Sasha can't decide if she wants to kiss him or stab him, so she prepares for both. Especially after a night that leaves her questioning what he is and what she's gotten herself involved in. Soon, series of unfortunate events start to follow the both of them, inescapable and continuous. And Sasha's moral compass seems to delay behind her, and she starts to make bad decisions. But the worst mistake of all, has yet to come.

Crescent City Sins by MartyMatlock

Marion just left everything she knew behind to pursue a new life in the Big Easy. Born and raised in the Midwest, Marion knew she'd be stepping into another world. The story memorized and repeated to everyone back home was that she "just wanted to live a little" before starting college in the fall. There was only one person she had ever told the truth about her determination to head south. Her childhood friend Anna. All her life, she'd dreamt of New Orleans. The old world charm mingled with the lights of the city, swaying together like two lovers embraced. It was more than just the fascination, Marion felt drawn to it like a familiar voice beckoning her to return home. The dreams over the years had been vivid. Often, she'd awaken to the spice of a hot gumbo still lingering on the corners of her mouth. When tragedy struck the summer after high school graduation, Marion locked herself away in the basement of her parents' home. Then, one last dream sent her spiraling over the edge. It was now a year after the accident, and she halfhazardly packed her bags. No amount of dreams could have prepared her for the fate awaiting her in the crescent city.

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And?

Loving my vampire professor by ang3lsmut

"You're so special to me, Miss King." "Wh-what does that mean... why are you everywhere?" "Because I need you. I need you like air. Just a taste..." - Elena King is the talk of the town - not for who she is, but for where she comes from. Her father is a day-drunk disaster, her mother is emotionally absent, and their crumbling house holds more silence than love. Every day, Elena dreams of escape. A new start. A new life. Then school begins - and with it, a new face. The young professor is far too charming, too intense, too... wrong. Elena can't pin down what's off about him, only that he watches her like he already knows her. Like he's been watching. When she uncovers the truth - about the town, her family, and herself - Elena realizes she's at the center of something ancient, buried, and hungry. The kind of secret that doesn't just threaten her life... It craves her blood.
