Caged In His Arms
He pinned me against the wall, his hand on my throat and his lips on my neck. 'Run,' he said. 'I'll just drag you back.' I should hate him. I'm terrified of him. So why does my body betray me every time he whispers my name? He warned me once: "This city protects me, not you." Now I believe him. When I went to the police to escape Aleksandr Markov's relentless obsession, my sister was framed and locked up. When I tried to run, he bought my workplace and became my boss. When I begged him to let me go, he whispered in my ear with his lips pressed to my neck: "You're mine, My little dove. Struggle all you want-I'll keep you until you stop fighting... or until you break." But the scariest part? The longer I'm trapped in his cage, the less I want to leave. A billionaire villain. A powerless heroine. A game of power, obsession, and desire where losing means surrendering everything-including your heart.
Unmasked, The Masquerade Trilogy, Bk 3

Fractures deepened with every step forward, and every silence, and every moment, she slipped further from the girl he once knew. As Ari fights to pull her from the darkness tightening around her, he finds himself dragged into a battle he cannot control - a battle against Teddy's unravelling mind, her guarded silence, and the secrets she guards like armour. Love can be fierce. Love can consume. And sometimes, love demands a reckoning. Will Ari hold on long enough to reach the girl he's always loved... or be forced to face the truth that the future he dreamed of was never his to claim?

Uncharted Hearts: meant to be, always.
Some games are too dangerous to play... especially when your heart is the prize. Ariana thought a transfer to a new university would mean a clean slate, a chance to leave behind old wounds and finally focus on her future. But the last thing she expected was him. Ivan Garcielle. Too confident, too powerful, too devastatingly handsome for his own good. The kind of man who walks into a room and owns it without saying a word. The kind of man Ariana swore she would never lose herself to. From the start, Ivan is a contradiction, infuriating yet magnetic, reckless yet controlled, a playboy who seems to notice far too much about her. He pulled her into a world of wealth, secrets. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, the pull between them grows stronger... and far more dangerous than either of them imagined. What Ariana doesn't know is that Ivan has his own reasons for pulling her into his world, a dangerous game where the line between truth and lies blurs with every stolen glance. But the closer they get, the more dangerous their connection becomes, until love itself feels like the most reckless gamble of all. And once the truth is finally, uncovered, nothing will ever be the same again. In a place where loyalty can cut deeper than betrayal, and love feels as perilous as revenge, Ariana must decide if trusting Ivan will save her, or destroy her. Fun fact: Some of this story's most intense moments were polished with a little help from AI. But every secret, every idea, every heartbreak, every twist? 100% mine so please read it. Thank you 😊
