Adrian, a brilliant orphan raised under the iron hand of a ruthless gang leader, lives between two worlds-one of power and discipline, the other of blood and shadows. With degrees in Engineering, Law, and Business, he has the mind of a strategist and the instincts of a fighter. Yet, no matter how far he reaches for a clean life, the underworld never releases its grip.
Selena, the poised heiress to a powerful empire, believes her family's wealth is built on ambition and brilliance. What she doesn't know is that half of their fortune is stained with black money, bound to the same criminal networks that shaped Adrian's past.
When fate collides during a violent street clash outside her family's latest project, Selena witnesses Adrian's ruthless precision and unshakable calm. In that moment, curiosity sparks into something far more dangerous. Their attraction is undeniable, but so is the peril: their families are tied to rival empires, where betrayal is currency and love is a liability.
As passion deepens, Adrian and Selena find themselves caught in a storm of greed, legacy, and blood. To survive, they must choose-sacrifice their love, or defy the underworld that threatens to destroy them both.

Adrian x Belvina book. Adrian Parker has always been the rock-steady, reliable, the friend who would drop everything to help others, even when his own world was crumbling. Beneath the smiles and jokes, however, lies a man haunted by the weight of past betrayals. The impostors, the cheaters, the liars-Adrian has seen it all, and each heartbreak has left a scar deep enough to make him believe that love was nothing more than a fleeting illusion. Now, he wears a mask, and behind it, he's built walls so thick no one can penetrate. No room for love. No space for pain. Or so he thought. Then came Belvina Gallardo. Belvina has lived by one rule: trust no one. After being burned by betrayal, she swore off letting anyone get close enough to hurt her again. Her heart? Locked up tight, guarded by walls only her closest friends and family have managed to breach. But Adrian Parker is different. He's persistent. Relentless. And, somehow, she feels something stirring inside her-a dangerous temptation to let him in. Both Adrian and Belvina have been broken, their trust shattered by the ones they loved. In a world where casual hookups and burying yourself in work is easier than risking another heartache, neither of them expects anything to change. They've both sworn off love for good. But sometimes, the heart doesn't listen to reason. And the one person you swear you'll never let in may just be the one who can heal you. When trust is shattered, can two broken souls learn to love again? Or will they simply break each other in the process?Complete
The Mark We Share
Five years. That's how long Adrian Reyes spent rebuilding himself after Ella Santiago walked away - no explanation, no goodbye, just silence. When fate throws them back together, old feelings resurface... along with a little girl named Lia who carries the same crescent birthmark on her wrist as Adrian. And just like that, every answer he thought he wanted becomes a wound that bleeds old love and new truths. But how do you forgive the person who kept your heart - and your child - a secret? And how do you love again when the past never really let you go? The Mark We Share is a slow-burn about second chances, healing, and the quiet kind of love that doesn't need promises - just presence. Because sometimes, home isn't a place. It's the person who stayed in your heart, even when they left.

"You've barely been here for an hour and you're already pissing me off," he said, starting to get frustrated. Suddenly, I pressed down on the trigger. I watched as the bullet flew past his head, just skimming his ear, exactly how I had expected it to. He didn't flinch. My eyes moved up to meet his. His chest heaved up and down as his fists were clenched together. His jaw was locked as he glared at me, clearly with murder on his mind. My murder. Oh shit. *** Deep down, even she knew that the beast was once a human. He knew that his angel had once had her own personal hell. 'Everything means nothing without her.'

Selena - The Twin Moons
A young orphan with unique powers is on the run from assassins alongside a mysterious young man. 🌙 When passion and power collide, nothing-not even a prophecy-can dictate the future. 🌙 Selena wasn't meant to exist. Newly arrived in a distant family, she discovers she carries the powers of two feuding Lunn lineages: telekinetics and telepaths. An impossible combination that inspires both awe and fear. Hunted and thrust into the center of an ancient, ambiguous prophecy, she's forced to ally with Nikolas, an elusive boy whose cunning and silence conceal dangerous secrets. Between mistrust, biting remarks, and attraction, neither dares to admit a fragile bond form. Essential. And ready to shatter at the slightest misstep. While the prophecy identifies her as the phoenix, it also cautions that through her, an evil force will awaken. The enigma persists: is this shadow an object, or a person? Amid betrayals and revelations, hatred and passion, Selena must find her place in a world where power is memory and emotion-and where love may prove her greatest weakness. 🌙 If you enjoy low-fantasy tales with romance, suspense, and unexpected twists, this novel is for you. 🌙 A huuge thank you to @BleuSaphir51 for the stunning cover (which I translated)!

Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete
