The Quiet Between Us

Ivy Raines is a contradiction wrapped in smoke and velvet - witchcraft in her veins, heartbreak on her tongue. She's spent years trying to rebuild herself after burning her past to the ground... but one ghost keeps crawling back through the cracks.
Nathaniel Cole.
The boy she loved, destroyed, and made into a man who still trembles at her name.
He was her first believer - her confession, her temptation, her undoing. She took his virginity, his faith, and his peace of mind, leaving him with nothing but guilt and memory of her touch. Now, years later, they talk like friends. They smoke, they laugh, they pretend. But the air between them still hums with electricity - an unspoken promise neither of them can stop breaking.
Ivy wants redemption. She wants to be more than the sin he hides in the dark. Nathaniel wants her body, her defiance, her chaos - everything but her heart.
Their connection is a slow burn of obsession, guilt, and hunger - a love that feels like worship and punishment all at once. Each cigarette, each stolen glance, each whispered word threatens to pull them back into the fire they swore they'd never touch again.
But desire is a religion. And they've always been devout.

Where Silence Lingers
"If things were different..." Jeff's voice trails off. Ivy finishes it for him: "We would've been something, right?" He fell for her when she was still learning how to let people close. She fell for him when he'd already learned how to stay safe behind silence. They walk the same campus, smile the same polite smiles, and avoid the same memories they both keep replaying at night. Jeff doesn't blame her for falling late - he thinks she deserves a love without hesitation. Ivy keeps drifting toward him anyway - a little too curious, a little too attached to the version of him she once imagined. Some stories don't arrive loudly. Some slip in quietly, in the hesitation before a confession, in the space between two hearts that almost touched. A tender, aching slow-burn about timing, courage, and the love that waits in the quiet.
2 Truths & 1 Lie
AUTHOR NOTE: this is my rough draft of my published version for sale on Amazon! It would mean the world to me if you bought it on Amazon kindle for 3.99, the Amazon version is edited and has some bonus parts! Watt pad is where I do all my brainstorming :) so I thought it's only fair to share with my followers a free, unedited version of my book. Ivy has thought of nothing except escaping her shithole town ever since her mom passed away when she was 15. Finally the day comes where she is finally free of her controlling drunk of a father and her monster step mother. She has everything planned out perfectly until she meets the moody Asher Harlen on her 19th birthday. Everything is changing around her and secrets begin to be revealed however she is determined to continue on her path towards her dream life. Is Asher just a little bump in the road? Or will he completely change her world? Will Ivy ever find out what really happened to her mother on that night? Will she ever be at peace with her life? This story is told in both characters perspective! I feel that is the best way to really get to know the characters and understand the story :) feel free to leave any feedback and comments! Thank you! Happy reading 🖤📖Lengkap
Safe With You
Ivy never expected to fall for her brother's best friend-especially not after everything she'd been through. Shipped off to live with the father who never wanted her, Ivy spent years learning how to survive. But when she returned home broken and bruised, it wasn't her family who saved her. It was Tyler. Her protector. Her safe place. Her Daddy. Now living under the same roof, Ivy and Tyler navigate a fragile, healing love rooted in deep trust and the softest, sweetest version of dominance and submission. Tyler gives Ivy everything she never knew she needed: gentle rules, bedtime snuggles, and unconditional care. In return, she gives him her heart-and her whole self. But the past never stays buried. When a ghost from their history reappears, it threatens everything they've built. Together, they'll face old scars, reclaim their power, and prove that love-especially the kind that's chosen every single day-is the most healing force of all.Lengkap
The Final Hearing
Evelyn Hart believed in fairytales - until the day she was left at the altar. Once a bright, hopeful law student, Evelyn's world crumbled when Nathaniel Blackwell - a powerful business heir she was arranged to marry - walked out on their wedding without a word. The scandal destroyed her family's name, shattered her dreams, and left her to bear the brunt of public humiliation. In a society that blamed her for everything, Evelyn did the only thing she could: she rose from the ashes. Years later, she's one of the most feared and respected lawyers in the country - until one case breaks her resolve and she disappears from the courtroom without warning. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. When Nathaniel's own sister is devastated by a similar betrayal and takes her life, he is desperate for justice. No lawyer is willing to fight for a case everyone believes is already lost - except for the one woman he wronged the most. Evelyn. Silent. Unforgiving. Brilliant. As she reluctantly steps back into the courtroom, the past simmers between them. Nathaniel is haunted by guilt and drawn to the woman he abandoned. Evelyn speaks only when required, avoids the past, and focuses on justice - but her silence screams louder than words. What begins as a legal battle turns into an emotional reckoning. Regret. Redemption. And a slow-burn connection that neither of them expected. Because sometimes, the most powerful verdicts aren't spoken in court - they're written in the heart.Lengkap

They kissed urgently, Ivy removed her pants while he ripped her shirt from her body....Lengkap

Everything After You
Five years ago, Ivy Brooks left Alder's Edge with a one-way ticket and a heart full of unfinished stories. She swore she'd never come back - not after Cal didn't show up at the station, not after the dreams they built together dissolved into silence. The city was supposed to fix her, to make her someone new. But when Sadie - her childhood friend, the light of the town - dies unexpectedly, Ivy is pulled back to the place she's spent years trying to forget. Now Alder's Edge feels both familiar and foreign: the rain-slicked streets, the café her mother still runs, her younger brother suddenly grown, and Cal - still behind the counter at Brennan's Records, still carrying the quiet weight of everything left unsaid. As Ivy navigates grief, guilt, and the ghosts of who she used to be, she's forced to confront what really drove her away - and what might still be waiting for her if she dares to stay. Because sometimes, the hardest person to forgive is yourself. And sometimes, love never really leaves - it just waits for you to come home.
TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Lengkap
