Every mask cracks. Some are broken on purpose.
Victoria Reynolds thought her art was the only way she bared her soul. Each canvas was a confession in color, a truth she would never dare to speak aloud.
Until Alexander Jennings noticed.
Wealthy. Magnetic. Mercilessly composed. He saw what others dismissed - the fractures beneath her restraint - and summoned her into his world with a single sealed envelope. A commission, he called it. Generous pay. Discretion required.
But when she steps inside Jennings House, Victoria learns the truth: the commission is not about paint or canvas. It is about her.
Alexander is steel, unyielding in his gaze.
Sasha Montgomery is silk, dangerous in her softness.
Together, they strip away her defenses, testing what lies behind the mask she has always worn.
Caught between fear and desire, shame and surrender, Victoria must decide: will she cling to the safety of the life she knows... or risk everything to become what they see in her?

Billionaire's Married by Force (18+)
Hey everyone, if you're underage, I won't stop you, though I doubt you'll listen... but proceed at your own discretion. WARNING: This story is definitely not for kids. It may get steamy, intense, and *cough* extremely wild. The city sparkled below, lights twinkling like a thousand whispered secrets. From her penthouse, Amara Miller watched the world with practiced detachment. She was used to control, to predictability, to being the architect of her own life. And then he walked in. Ian Anderson. Sharp, deliberate, impossibly composed-and utterly infuriating. One glance, and the steady rhythm of her world fractured. She didn't know him. He didn't know her. Yet something about the pull between them was undeniable, a dangerous kind of curiosity that neither could resist. Sometimes, life didn't ask for permission. Sometimes, it demanded surrender. And for Amara Miller, surrender was the one thing she wasn't willing to give... yet. Join Amara and Ian on their exciting journey!

[paused]THE DEVIL'S PROTÉGÉE (GXG)
Sasha Morozova isn't a woman you cross. CEO by day, predator by nature, she rules with fear, power, and a carefully measured cruelty. Her world is one of control, contracts, and blood - and she never fails. Then comes Talia Navarro. Frail, pale, trembling... a prisoner dropped into Sasha's den. Every moment is a test, every breath a gamble. But Talia's purpose was unexpectedly altered - she wasn't the prisoner who should have been sent to Sasha. Now, instead of finding the 'right' prisoner, Sasha will make sure to use Talia to her own advantage. A wedding awaits, and in exchange, the key to an empire. Dark, twisted, and intense, this story isn't about a happily ever after. It's about control, obsession, and the dangerous dance between two people who shouldn't belong together - and yet, somehow, can't stay apart. Trigger warning: contains violence, psychological manipulation, and dark themes. Reader discretion is advised. 🏅 mascxfem 🏅 femxmasc 🏅 domesticnoir

Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete
