Dear reader,
this is not a fairytale.
There are no heroes here-only monsters who wear beautiful faces and girls foolish enough to love them.
I should have run when I met Damien Blackwood.
But instead, I let him in.
He was poison wrapped in perfection, sin dressed as salvation.
And I drank every drop until it bled me dry.
Our story is made of broken glass and whispered lies.
It will cut you.
It will burn you.
And it will remind you that sometimes, the worst kind of love... is the one you can't let go of.
Be warned.... π₯

A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive. He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby." Some hold you like you're a prayer-then break you like a curse. Because he has secrets. Dark ones. Dangerous ones. The kind of truths that can't be buried without blood. So now the real question is... Will she uncover who he truly is-before it's too late? Can love survive when it's soaked in lies and obsession? And when she finally sees the monster behind the man... Will she run? Or will she stay?Complete
OLDER DOESN'T MEAN BETTER
I thought dating an older man meant safety. Stability. Love. But Dominic Blackwood doesn't love like other men. He loves harder. Darker. And when he wants you... He never, ever lets go. "They told me older men love better. Nobody warned me they love darker." Trigger Warnings: toxic relationships, manipulation, obsession, age gap, slow-burn tension, emotional dependency.
Ember And Snow
Aerion curled into Damien, clinging like something broken. Damien stroked his hair in silence, gentle, aching. "Aerion?" he whispered. Aerion pressed closer, unwilling to let go. "You have to leave." "Why?" came the muffled reply. "I want to stay. With you." "It's not right," Damien said. "To want the one who hurt you. To bleed for the hand that broke you." "And is it right to let go of the only thing you've ever known?" Aerion's voice trembled. "You hurt me. I know. But it doesn't matter." Damien's voice turned low. "Because I've been your whole world for a while-your joy, your ruin. I broke you. And still, you cling to me. Not out of love, but because pain feels familiar." Damien paused. "I once felt that for you." Aerion looked up, desperate. "Then how did you let go?" Damien met his eyes. "I didn't," he said. "You left." ---------- Aerion and Damien had wounded each other beyond repair-but neither ever truly let go. Millennia ago, Aerion betrayed Damien, and died for it. Now, in another life, they meet again. Damien saves a boy from being sacrificed to a god-not out of mercy, but bloodlust. He didn't know the boy was Aerion reborn. Not at first. But once he saw it-once he knew-his cruelty sharpened. Damien never speaks of the betrayal. He doesn't need to. His silence is thick with rage... and something else. That old, cursed fondness, crawling back in. Aerion, unaware of who he once was, cowers before the titan. But still, he slowly found himself drawn to him. Because in this life, Damien-cruel, cold and brutal-was the kindest one he'd ever known. -----------Complete
Bruised Hearts (H.S)
He broke her. He saved her. He might destroy her. Clara Hale always believed in love the way Austen and BrontΓ« wrote it-beautiful, eternal, worth every storm. But real life isn't a novel, and Josh-the charming boyfriend everyone else envies-hides his temper behind easy smiles and sweet apologies. Bruises fade, but the fear doesn't. When Clara finally thinks she knows who she is and what she deserves, he shows up again. Harry Styles. The boy with haunted eyes. The boy who kissed her once and ruined her carefully built walls. Arrogant, dangerous, magnetic-he's everything Clara swore she'd never want. Yet every time their paths cross, sparks ignite into flames she can't control. Torn between the toxic safety of the boy she's always forgiven and the dangerous pull of the one she can't forget, Clara finds herself caught in a storm of betrayal, obsession, and impossible choices. Harry is broken-scarred by a violent past, drowning his rage in alcohol and fights. But when he looks at Clara, he sees the only light in the chaos. And when he touches her, she feels alive in a way she's never dared admit. Love isn't supposed to hurt. But some hearts aren't just broken-they're bruised. And bruised hearts don't heal quietly.

The Shadow I Loved...
He came like a secret, wrapped in silence and danger. Everyone warned me to stay away - but how do you escape someone who never chases, only watches? His words were rare, but his presence spoke louder than any promise. With every stolen glance, I lost a little more of myself... and found a side of me I never knew existed. Now I can't tell if he's protecting me from the darkness - or if he is the darkness itself. A story of obsession, surrender, and the kind of love that burns quietly... until it consumes you.
In the Name of Obsession
She first met him in a therapy group for trauma survivors. He didn't speak much, but his eyes lingered too long, as though he could peel back her skin and read every wound carved into her bones. She told herself it was wrong, that she should avoid him, but the silence between them became magnetic. When they finally spoke, it wasn't gentle. It was raw. He told her he saw the same madness in her that lived inside him, the same hunger to feel something sharp, something real. Their first kiss tasted like blood-his lip split when she bit too hard, and instead of stopping, he pulled her closer. Soon, their nights together blurred between sex and confession. They carved secrets into each other's skin, whispered things no one else could ever hear. But his love was never safe-it was possessive, suffocating, like drowning in warm water. He wanted to break her just to put her back together. She wanted to burn in him until nothing of herself remained. The deeper they sank, the less they could tell the difference between passion and violence, between devotion and destruction. She began seeing him in places he couldn't possibly be-in mirrors, in her dreams, in the shadows of her room. He said he was inside her now, that their bond was irreversible. When her therapist asked about the bruises on her neck, she smiled and said nothing. Because the truth was this: she didn't want to be saved. She wanted to be consumed. And so she let him.Complete
Loving The Liar
I met him in the ward-room 407, just down the hall from mine. He said he was broken like me. Quiet. Gentle. Safe. But he's not a patient. He checked himself in. And I'm the reason he came. After the overdose, they said I'd lost control. But he knows the truth-because he's the one who watched me fall. Now I'm stuck inside this hospital with him, and the boy I'm falling for might be the very reason I tried to die. He says he can fix me. But first, I have to remember what he did.Complete
Bound in Blood
Mercedes has spent her whole life surviving. An abusive mother, a father she lost too soon, and a world that never quite had a place for her. University was supposed to be the fresh start. The clean slate. Then Jason carried her out of a classroom and everything changed. He is calm where she is braced for impact. Steady where she has only ever known chaos. And the crescent mark on her forearm that pulses warm when he is close is telling her something she is not ready to hear. Because Jason is not just a boy who noticed her bleeding. He is an alpha heir with a pack, a father who would rather she didn't exist, and a bond so old and so unbreakable that the witches who want to use it have been waiting years for their moment. Mercedes didn't ask for a mate. She didn't ask for magic or blood debts or creatures in car parks or any of the things that have followed her since the night Jason bit her and called it love. But she has survived everything else. She is not stopping now.Complete
