Fern thought marriage meant partnership, love, and the quiet safety of family. For five years she's tried to believe that-tried to ignore the sharp edges of a mother-in-law who never wanted her, an ex who had moved too close for comfort and a husband who is always looking the other way.
But when one night of negligence leaves their little girl in a hospital bed with burns on her hand, Fern can no longer swallow the excuses. She is done being the afterthought in her own marriage.
Her husband Conner insists he loves her, but love doesn't keep a child safe. Love doesn't silence a mother-in-law's whispers or stop an ex from poisoning the air of every family gathering. Love isn't enough-not when Fern's entire world has been built on the shaky ground of compromise.
And as the fractures in their marriage widen into fault lines, Fern has to face the question she's been afraid to ask-
What if walking away is the only way to save herself and her daughter?

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship. The characters' dynamics involve intense emotional manipulation, power struggles, and actions that may be triggering to some readers. Please be advised that this story delves into themes that are explicit, emotionally charged, and may not be suitable for all audiences. Proceed with caution. "Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?

Echoes (Architects of Ruins Trilogy 2) ✔ by JAEMperatriz
21 parts Complete
This story delves into the promising, yet ultimately tested, relationship between Adler Hansley and his college girlfriend, Crimson Morgan, set against the backdrop of their university life in Geneva. From Crimson's perspective, their love blossomed with an almost immediate connection, grounded in Adler's quiet thoughtfulness and a seeming antithesis to his emotionally distant and unfaithful father, Ardian Hansley. Crimson cherishes their "real" connection, a stark contrast to the shadowy past Adler rarely discusses. However, their idyllic romance faces a profound crisis when Adler, following a night out, has a one-night stand with another woman. The act triggers a devastating realization in Adler: he fears he is mirroring his father's destructive patterns of infidelity and emotional confusion. Adler's subsequent emotional withdrawal and eventual raw confession to Crimson plunges their relationship into turmoil. Unlike his father, Adler is wracked with genuine remorse and a desperate, agonizing struggle to understand his own motivations. The narrative explores Crimson's heartbreak and shock, tempered by her witness to Adler's profound internal battle for integrity. As Adler grapples with his identity and the weight of his inherited legacy, he faces a difficult choice: to dismiss his actions and potentially repeat the past, or to embrace radical honesty, accountability, and the arduous path of breaking the generational cycle.

Until one night, under the cursed Veilmoon, she realized the truth: they never truly saw her as their mate. Their final betrayal was unexpected and soul shattering. The fall from grace, too hard.

An ancient enemy lurks in the shadows, pulling strings that could unravel everything she holds dear. Aleiraah's journey from Mytherra's enchanted forests to the depths of hell is one of courage and self-discovery. Along the way, she forges unlikely friendships, faces enemies cloaked in secrets, and uncovers truths about herself she never dared to believe. But one thing she knows in her heart: the males she loved will have to bleed, burn, and beg for a place at her side again. One question remains-will she ever forgive them, or make them crawl forever in the ruins of what they destroyed?

Thane survived the fire once. Not the kind that scars skin, but the kind that brands the soul. He and his brothers-fire-forged, trauma-bonded, and unbreakable-escaped a childhood no one should endure, only to build an empire on secrets and violence. Then came her. She is a whisper from his past wrapped in barbed wire and silence. She's part of the enemy network he's infiltrating-caged, watched and broken. Or so she seems. But nothing about her adds up. Her touch is familiar, her eyes haunted by memories only he should carry. She flinches at all the right moments. Says things she shouldn't know. And when she looks at him, it's like she's asking for help... or warning him to run. In a world where masks are stitched on with fear, Thane starts to wonder if he's the one being played. And as the mission spirals out of control, one question rises like smoke through flame- What if the thing he's been searching for was right there in front of him ,just hidden behind a scar shaped exactly like his own?
