bountyhunterfantasyromance
They say every saloon has a story, but the Hallow Ember has a heartbeat. Its walls hum with secrets, its cellar breathes when no one is listening, and its owner-Vexa Marrow-wears her curse like a second skin.

Once a hunter of monsters, now the keeper of something far worse, Vexa tends her bar with steady hands and sharper eyes. To the weary traveler, she's a legend. To the desperate, she's a last chance. And to those who know the truth, she's a lock barely holding against the thing chained beneath her floorboards.

This is not just the tale of a saloon.
It is the story of debts, curses, and names that refuse to stay buried.

And the ledger is beginning to turn its own pages.

His Innocent Obsession by Blushkisses
7 parts Ongoing Mature
I felt him before I saw him. The air shifted, heavy and electric, and then he was there - filling the doorway of my shop like he owned it. Like he owned me. His eyes dragged over me slowly, deliberately, until my skin burned. I told myself to look away, to breathe, to move - but my body betrayed me. Lucien stepped closer, the scent of smoke and danger clinging to him. He reached out, brushing a single petal from my shoulder, his fingers grazing my skin as if testing how easily I'd break. "You hide behind flowers," he murmured, voice low enough to curl around my spine. "But I see the truth. You're trembling for me." My lips parted, but no words came. My pulse thundered, my knees weak, and still I couldn't step back. He leaned in, his breath warm against my ear. "You don't know it yet, Dahlia," he whispered, "but you're already mine." Dahlia Hart lives a quiet life running her late father's flower shop a haven of color and calm in a world she keeps at arm's length. But one night changes everything. She witnesses a brutal crime, and in doing so, catches the attention of a man who doesn't tolerate witnesses. A man who doesn't let go. Lucien Moretti is cold, dominant, and untouchable a man who built his empire on control, fear, and precision. When he learns that the only person who saw what happened is the daughter of a man who once betrayed him, his interest turns personal. Dahlia is no longer just a threat. She's a loose end. A legacy. A possession waiting to be claimed. But Dahlia isn't as fragile as she seems. And Lucien, for all his cruelty, finds himself drawn to her innocence in ways he didn't expect. What begins as a hunt becomes something darker an obsession. One that blurs the line between protection and possession, desire and domination. This is my first book I hope you like it 🤗

Dangerous Candy by HippieBunni
19 parts Complete Mature
Lumi sees ghosts. Talks to them. Fights them. Sometimes even flirts with them. She's barely surviving high school, sharing a run-down pod house with her equally unhinged sister, and moonlighting as a medium for hire - exorcisms, hauntings, cursed objects, whatever pays. But when her visions start bleeding into reality, and the dead begin whispering her name, Lumi realizes something darker is stalking her. Enter Jex: a dangerously hot transfer student with golden eyes and a cocky mouth - and a secret monster coiled beneath his skin. He's not just trouble. He's temptation wrapped in combat boots and shadowfire. And then there's Vex - the ghost who haunts her bedroom and her heart, possessive, protective, and in love with her in a way no living boy could match. Torn between a ghost who won't let go, a demon who wants to burn the world for her, and a city teeming with hungry spirits, Lumi's about to learn that being sweet doesn't mean being soft - and being cursed doesn't mean you can't bite back. She's candy-coated chaos with a butterfly knife in her sock. And this story? It doesn't end pretty. !
Vesper-Small Fire, Bright Sky by RileyRibeiro
7 parts Complete Mature
Born of divine prophecy and infernal ritual, Vesper was never meant to be a person. She was raised by a cult as the Vessel-an empty thing to be filled, sacrificed, and controlled. When the rituals failed to awaken the godseed within her, they punished her instead: binding her wings, carving her skin, branding her spirit into silence. But Vesper does not break. She burns. Fleeing through a portal into the Feywild, she collapses into the clutches of Caspian, a cruelly beautiful Archfey who offers comfort in place of chains. In his Hollow Hall, Vesper is given gifts, sweet words, and a sense of safety-but only if she remains small, silent, and his. Slowly, subtly, Caspian drains her magic, her agency, and her fire, while binding her to Astra, a fellow captive forced to feel every violation as if it were his own. As Vesper grows closer to Astra-her only ally in a house of illusions-she begins to question the love she's being offered, and what it's costing her to accept it. But when she discovers the truth of her tether to Astra, the illusion shatters. She must choose: remain gilded and controlled... or bleed to reclaim what was stolen. Vesper's rebellion is not loud. It is not divine. It is hers. By the end, she is no longer a Vessel. No longer bound. She is fire-small, but rising. Astra, having severed his own chains, joins her not as a savior, but as a companion. Together, they flee the Hollow, reclaim their names, and choose to begin again. And when Caspian comes hunting... they will be ready.
Didn't Really Matter Anyway by GabrielXander
4 parts Complete Mature
That's right, these are just.. my memories. They're flashing before my eyes, but why? Am I dying? No, I can't die yet, there's so much I have to do. And really... I really don't want to relive through these memories. My past... This worthless past. This worthless... "And that fleeting hope where I started to believe that I could fix my life grew so big, I couldn't control it. At that moment, I knew I had to make it back to finish my self-imposed duties." "But in the end, they were nothing but words. I couldn't manage a single thing on my own. At the end of the day, right before my eyes, I'm reminded that I shouldn't have been the one to survive-Not at all." All of my attempts, everything I've been through, and all I had to suffer for, it was all just a pathetic, comical, uninteresting story. [Also on Quotev under GabrielXander]

The Quiet Girl and the Monster Next Door by vrin_09
18 parts Complete Mature
Everyone warned me about the man next door. Scarred knuckles. Haunted eyes. A past wrapped in blood and secrets. Cassian Vale is fifteen years older, freshly out of prison, and so quiet the whole town pretends he doesn't exist. So, of course, I knocked on his door. I didn't expect him to open it. I didn't expect to see the sketch of me pinned to his wall. And I definitely didn't expect to want the monster everyone else was terrified of. But there are rules with Cassian. Rule One: Don't ask about the basement. Rule Two: Stay out of his past. Rule Three: If he tells you to run-run. I broke all three. Now I know his secrets. Now he knows mine. And the scariest part? I think I love him for the very things that should make me run.
