"I'm not a killer, Vetrova. But let another guy touch you-hell, even look at you the wrong way-and he will regret even breathing near you."
"W-why are you doing this?" I tried not to shutter but my voice broke.
"Because you're mine. The sooner you accept it, the easier it'll be." he said looking straight into my eyes.

Enesia Vetrova has it all-beauty, chaos, and a crown no one dares to snatch. The ultimate ride or die, she rides through life on her own terms: bold, loud, and untouchable. She's reckless, sharp-tongued, and thrives on drama. Every guy wants her. Every girl envies her. And.
Killian Volk? He despises her.
Killian, the hockey team's cold-blooded star, lives by rules. He doesn't chase. He doesn't fold. He doesn't get distracted. On the ice, he's lethal. Off it, he's silent, ruthless, and untouchably cold. The one thing that rattles his control? Enesia Vetrova-reckless fire in human form.
They're opposites in every way.
And when velvet ties start to bind them tighter than either expected, hatred isn't the only thing left burning.
Velvet ties can strangle.
Velvet ties can bind.

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

Sweet Riddle
In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake. I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her. A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood. She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear. This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival. But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules. And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction. Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.Complete

Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight.

alone, together
Rowan Cassidy has a plan: survive senior year, get the scholarship, and don't fall apart. He doesn't have time for distractions - especially not Killian Vale, his infuriatingly beautiful neighbour who's made a career out of ruining his life one sarcastic remark at a time. They've "hated" each other for years. Allegedly. On paper. Except it's the kind of hate that pauses in the air between them. That stares too long. That sounds a hell of a lot like something else when no one's looking. Killian is chaos in a leather jacket. Rowan is order in calloused palms and colour-coded binders. They're opposites, always have been - but when a series of late nights, care-filled actions, and too-close-to-honest arguments start to peel back their seemingly failing defence mechanism, Rowan's perfectly managed world starts to spiral. And maybe the person he's spent years fighting is the only one who actually sees him. Sharp-tongued, slow-burning, and emotionally messy - this is not your typical love story. It's worse. It's theirs. A classic, almost clichéd frenemies-to-lovers tale; one gloriously inconvenient love story.
Veil Of Thorns
Enemies by blood. Bound by fate. Destroyed by love. They were childhood frenemies. Eight years apart did nothing to bury the hatred... or the heat. Zoe Fischer thought she buried the Volkov name the night Killian disappeared without a trace - the night he left her bleeding and broken with the taste of heartbreak still fresh on her tongue. Now, eight years later, he's back - darker, crueler, and more dangerous than any memory she's ever held onto. He's her new college classmate. Her group project partner. Her walking, breathing nightmare. Hatred is a thin veil hiding something darker. Something forbidden. Something that curls around her throat whenever he gets too close- ...whispering promises of pain, pleasure, and the kind of obsession that always ends in ruin. He still knows exactly how to break her. How to own her. How to turn her body into his favorite weapon- ...even if she swore she'd never fall for him again. --- Enemies by blood. Addicted by fate. Bound by something neither of them were ever supposed to survive. Zoe Fischer was born into blood and betrayal - the porcelain daughter of a mafia empire destined to hate the boy who would one day ruin her. Killian Volkov was a storm wrapped in cigarette smoke and a mouth that promised violence - the Russian prince she was sworn to destroy. They were never meant to touch. They were never meant to fall. But when obsession tastes like sin and the only way out is through him... How do you kill the villain when he's the one who taught you how to be one?
FALLEN FOR A BAD BOY {BAD MEETS BADDEST}
She witnessed horror... and became one. After surviving a harrowing near-rape and watching her best friend brutally assaulted and murdered before her eyes, Aurora vanished-emotionally. What rose from the ashes was someone unrecognizable: Cold. Fearless. Savage. Untouchable. She trusts no one. Loves no one. And as far as she's concerned, no man alive could ever break through her fortress of ice. Love? Dead. Her rules? Simple. No emotions. No attachments. No second chances. But her new college? A battlefield. And him? Leonard Grande - the kind of trouble she didn't prepare for. Wounded. Rebellious. Addictive. Dangerous. A walking paradox with a face carved by gods and a soul damaged by demons. A notorious playboy who takes pleasure in breaking girls, shredding hearts like paper-because he believes every girl is a liar in disguise. Until Aurora. She doesn't look at him like he matters. She doesn't fall. She doesn't even flinch. And that pisses him off. Now it's war. A toxic game of destruction and seduction. She wants to erase him. He wants to ruin her. But when secrets from the past start surfacing, both realize they've been walking in the dark... and maybe-just maybe-they were destined to collide. How deep do their scars go? And who's really pulling the strings in this web of pain and passion. Dive into a dark college romance where love is a weapon, trust is deadly, and only the strongest survive. When bad meets baddest... there are no rules. Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of sexual violence, emotional trauma, murder, psychological manipulation, and abusive behavior.
