crime hostage love

He came to steal time-not fall in love.

When a cash heist in New York goes brutally wrong, Damian Cruz is forced to do the unthinkable-kidnap a doctor to save his bleeding partner. But the woman he drags into the night isn't just any doctor. She's Celeste Donovan, the daughter of a powerful businessman and fiancée to a man who lives on the right side of the law.

Celeste is trained to stay calm under pressure, but nothing could prepare her for the man who storms into her life at gunpoint. Cold. Controlled. Dangerous. A man who doesn't ask-he commands. Yet the more time she spends as his reluctant hostage, the harder it becomes to see only the criminal in him.

He's not supposed to care.
She's not supposed to feel.
But in a world where trust is currency and survival is the only rule, their hearts become the most dangerous collateral of all.

Dark romance meets pulse-pounding suspense in this story of two people trapped between guilt and desire, redemption and ruin.All Rights Reserved

KING'S ETERNAL CAPTIVE by jennyy_writess

In the heart of Toronto, Alessia Morgan Blake lives quietly between duty and dreams. Her days smell of old paper and coffee in her little bookshop. Her nights belong to her dying father.....the only family she has left. Her world is fragile, yet full of love. A devoted boyfriend. A future that finally seems kind. But under the wrong sky, fate listens. One wish upon a falling star tears her from her world and hurls her into another....a realm where kingdoms rise on blood and oaths rot in silence. Here, the moon is colder, the air heavier, and the throne belongs to one man: King Alaric Draxen Vortigern The ruthless ruler of Valemorra.....the Land of the Fallen Oath. A monarch forged in chaos and cruelty. Feared by his enemies, worshipped by his people, hated by the gods themselves. When Alessia appears in his throne room, lost, trembling, wearing clothes no one in his world has ever seen, she becomes his fascination. His curse. His obsession. The king who never wanted a queen finds himself consumed by a girl from another world..... a girl whose defiance lights the fire he thought long dead. But his desire is not gentle. It's possession. And his love is not salvation. It's captivity. She was light. He was ruin. And fate decided they would meet. To Alaric, love is not a word....it's a weapon. And Alessia is the battlefield. To him, she is not a guest. Not a stranger. Not even a prisoner. She is his..... to break, to worship, to keep. And if time dares to take her back, he will destroy it itself. Trapped between two eras, Alessia must choose: the world she left behind or the one that refuses to let her go. Because once the King claims something... he never returns it. ____________________ Read Prologue for details description

Captive Bonds by G_A_Rash

He didn't steal me. He claimed me. One moment, I was dancing with my best friends. The next, the lights died-and the Dominion came. When I woke, a broken crown was inked into my ankle. His mark. Damien Voss. The man in the expensive suit. The man who watched me in the club like he already owned me. Now he does. He says I'm not merchandise. I'm his. Not because he's merciful-because he wants to keep me. Break me. Remake me. And the worst part? Some dark, hungry part of me wants him to. When he touches me, I forget to be afraid. When he whispers that he sees the monster inside me, I can't deny it. When he promises to ruin me, I wonder how it will feel to finally belong to someone who refuses to let me go. This isn't love. This is obsession. And I don't know if I'll survive it... or if I even want to.

Fall to Ash by BernieCross

They call me brilliant. Untouchable. A man of power, sharpened by betrayal and perfected by silence. But the truth? I'm a ruin dressed in control. Then came her. Faith Chen. Nineteen. Too young. Too reckless. Too perfect. Green eyes like shattered glass, cutting straight through the walls I swore no one could breach. I should've looked away. Should've let Paris swallow her whole. Instead, I pulled her closer. And now-God help us both-I don't know if I want to save her, ruin her, or let her ruin me. But the cruelest part? She isn't just temptation. She's my son's girlfriend. Because in the end, everything burns. And this time, it's not just my past going up in flames.

"Baby, there's no secret you can keep from me, which means that if you leave me, I will always find you." In another life we would have been lovers.

Alpha Kane's Obsession by DarkLipsandCocoChips

Carlisia ran as fast as her sore legs would let her. Her top was ripped and her knees scabbed from all the time she had tripped on the rough patchy ground. She tripped again, blood dripped from the corner of her mouth as a stone bust her lip. She quickly got up, and continued to run. She could feel his presence. Not chasing her, no. Observing her. He was amused how she thought she could run away. Carlisia's knees buckled underneath her again, she was so tired and in so much pain. A sob escaped her lips, she couldn't take it anymore. Sniffling, she took deep breaths, trying to get up but her legs wouldn't let her. They were just too bruised. She sighed, this was it perhaps. She rolled onto her back and pushed herself up against a tree, just as a figure emerged in front of her. "Tired I see?" The dark voice said after a moment of silence. "P-please just let me go." Carlisia whispered. Her throat was dry from all the screaming earlier. "Where would you go Carlisia? Hmm? There is no where to run to." He mused as he casually strolled in front of her. Clearly amused by the situation. "Well, there are places." He said sarcastically, swatting his hand in the air for emphasis. "Just not ones where you can hide." He tusked finally looking at her straight in the eyes. "There isn't a place in this world, no nook, no cranny, where I can not get you from. I need you to understand that love." He said as he crouched in front of her and tenderly brought a strand of her loose locks to his nose and took a deep breath, momentarily closing his eyes. "I will find you from any depth of this universe." he breathed out. Tears fell from Carlisia's eyes as she looked at the side, trying to push her face away from him, breathing as if a deer caught in headlights. "Well, not that I will let you leave in the first place." He chuckled, tugging at the strand as he finally opened his eyes. They were once again golden. Copyright 2021 ©
