She's a luxury sweeper-the one the rich call before their sins go public.
Stevie Vale erases chaos with precision and perfection. No evidence. No emotion. No attachments.
She doesn't fall in love-she studies it, manipulates it, weaponizes it.

Holden Pierce is a covert intelligence operative built on discipline and truth. His latest mission: track down the faceless ghost known only as "Vale."
The only problem? He doesn't know the ghost he's hunting is the same woman who's already caught his attention for all the wrong reasons.

He was supposed to take her down.
She never saw him coming.

He barely believed in living. Most days were spent in silence - a numb, gray existence made of sleepless nights, empty mornings, and a constant ache he couldn't shake. People called him cold. Emotionless. Maybe they were right. Then he met Viara. She was a stranger at a convenience store on a rainy night - two dollars short and smiling like she had no reason to be. Ren gave her the money. She gave him something far more dangerous: a reason to feel again. What started as curiosity became obsession. Every glance, every word, every secret he uncovered about her pulled him deeper. Soon, Ren wasn't just watching from the shadows - he was protecting her, perfecting himself for her, and removing anyone who dared to get in the way. Love made him better. Love made him worse. Because when you put her before you, there's nothing you won't do. Even if it means blood on your hands. Even if she never asked for any of it. Chapters Will Be Added Overtime.

GUARDED FLAME by ShivyanshiMohan

She's cold, untouchable, and used to being feared. He's the one man who's not afraid to get too close. Isabella Black doesn't do fear. She doesn't do help. And she definitely doesn't do protection. As the icy CEO of Blackstone Enterprises, she's built a world where no one gets close - and anyone who tries is crushed. But when threats start slipping past her security, the board sends her a solution she didn't ask for: Cade Wolfe. Ex-military. Sharp-eyed. Silent. And not the type to take orders from anyone - not even her. He's supposed to be her bodyguard. A shadow in the background. But Cade sees what no one else does: the cracks in her armor, the pain she hides, and the war she's waging behind those cold eyes. They're complete opposites - fire and ice, control and chaos. But the danger circling them is personal. It's tied to both their pasts. And the deeper he digs, the closer he gets to the truth... And to her. Enemies are closing in. Secrets are bleeding out. And the one thing Isabella swore she'd never give - is the one thing Cade won't stop taking. A slow-burn, high-heat romance full of power games, dark secrets, and a love that could ruin them both.

Nine Years by Taaybeereads

But, how can I stay away from the man who makes me feel more alive than i've felt in years? Do I even want to stay away? My head is telling me to run, but my heart wont let me go.

Brown Sugar by advikazy

Love. Obsession. And a man who doesn't know where one ends and the other begins. Alana Singh has always known how to disappear - into shadows, into silence, into the wounds no one dares to see. Dusky, curvy, and overlooked, she never expected to catch the eye of Digvijay Singh Rathore - the ruthless billionaire with eyes like winter and a soul carved from secrets. But he's been watching her for years. Waiting. Planning. And when she steps into his empire for an internship, she walks straight into the trap he's built just for her. Now she's tangled in his world of power, obsession, and forbidden desire - where every touch feels like worship and every lie tastes like sin. Because Digvijay doesn't just want her. He wants to own her. A dark, emotional, and intoxicating romance about obsession, redemption, and the love that ruins before it saves. A tender, raw coming-of-age story about heartbreak, healing, and the terrifying risk of finally being seen. ------------------ (This story is fast-paced and messy. I wrote it while I was mentally fighting a big battle. It became a good distraction for me. I ended up writing 25-30 chapters in just one week-so it's not perfect. I focused more on the emotions than anything else. Still, I hope you enjoy it.)

Fiery Chains , Dark Shadows MC (Book 2) by MackenzieMadden

Chloe has always believed that she can only rely on herself, especially when everyone else always leaves. Relationships mean letting someone in and she's not willing to open herself up to that kind of pain, not without some kind of proof that it will last. When the Dark Shadows MC offers her protection from the danger stalking her, Chloe finds herself stuck with the gruff Road Captain, Hawk. He's silent, rude, uncompromising, and she's positive that he can't stand her...but Chloe also can't deny the way her heart races when he sets his steely gaze on her. Hawk learned early not to trust those who were supposed to care for him, finding solace and family among the brothers of the MC who saved him when he was a teen. Watching over Chloe is just supposed to be another way to repay that debt to the club, or so he keeps telling himself. But as the danger surrounding Chloe escalates and the lines blur between them, Hawk faces a choice between remaining guarded and alone, or letting Chloe in. In a world where trust is a rare commodity and danger lurks in every shadow, Chloe and Hawk must confront their deepest fears and decide if love is worth the risk.
