[Book 2 of the Badmus Series]
Jadésola Badmus, a 20-year-old British beauty and fashion influencer and socialite, is sent to Nigeria for the summer for her reckless misdemeanours. She's determined to maintain her polished image amidst the tumultuous environment of rowdy Lagos life. Jadé's world comes to a spin when she crosses paths with Ekene (Kene)- a streetwise local driver with dreams bigger than Lagos- under unideal circumstances. As Jade reluctantly befriends Kene, she's forced to confront the identity she's spent years rejecting. Torn between her materialistic instincts and growing tension for someone who reminds her of a home she's tried to escape, Jadé must decide in 30 days: will she cling to the fantasy she's built, or embrace a messier, more honest version of herself?

"The stars." "What about them?" he asked, raising a perfect eyebrow, stepping closer. I took a step back with every step he took forward. "They're watching over us." He seemed to think about my words before speaking. "Over us? Or you think they're watching over you." "I know they're watching over us." My back hit the railing as he stood less than a foot away from me. His lips parted, releasing a puff of smoke into my face. The smell made me feel sick, but I didn't show it. "Mon cœur, no one is watching over us. It's just a fragment of your little imagination," he said bitterly, a cold look passing over his face. He dropped his cigarette, snuffing it out with his shoe. "No," I breathed, shaking my head, "the stars will always watch over us." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *SLOWBURN* Isla Fischer, an 18 year old fresh out of high school and ready for life's adventures.

The Heiress's Silent Captor by adeen
𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐆𝐄 | 𝟏𝟖+ "You were made to be ruined, Sophie. And I'll be the man to do it-with patience... or without." · 𖥸 · Sophie Maddox is the embodiment of innocence-delicate, obedient, and untouched by the outside world. At just nineteen, she's spent her life hidden behind silk curtains and garden walls, raised under the strict rule of a powerful but crumbling family who taught her to be seen, not heard. With honey-blonde hair, doll-like gray-blue eyes, and a voice as soft as a whisper, Sophie has never disobeyed an order, never spoken to a man without permission, and certainly never known the kind of hunger that simmers behind the eyes of Liam Voss-the man she's been forced to marry. Liam, a thirty-two-year-old billionaire with a brutal past and a reputation that sends men running, is the definition of control. Ruthless in business and terrifying in presence, he's used to having everything his way-until Sophie. He didn't want love. He didn't want softness. What he wanted was an heir, a contract fulfilled, and a wife who would never question his authority. But Sophie's quiet submission awakens something possessive and feral inside him, something darker than dominance-a need to claim her in ways no contract could bind. She was given to him. Trained to obey. But the more he touches her, the more he realizes: breaking her might be the only way to keep her.Complete
