He wasn't part of her plan. But Koki Takeda? 
He's the kind of trouble you don't walk away from.


When Bianca relocates to Tacoma, she's determined to leave her past and her ex behind. But peace doesn't last long after she meets Koki, the tattooed owner of Neo Blade with a past as sharp as his name.

A school mentorship brings them together. Chemistry keeps them there.

But when Bianca's past circles back, Koki must decide: protect the woman he's falling for...or protect the man he's worked so hard to become.

Because some lessons aren't written in books-they're carved deep enough to last.

A Dragon's Lover by EmilyLockwood352

Lyanna Tyrell, princess of Highgarden, was raised in comfort and light, her childhood seemingly untouched by fear. Yet since she was very young, she has been haunted by the same nightmare: a dragon tearing her from her home. On her eighteenth birthday, that dream begins to take form. Her father tells her she has been betrothed to Aerion Targaryen of House Targaryen, grandson of the King of Westeros, a man feared throughout the realm as Aerion the Monstrous for his cruelty and vile acts. Lyanna begs not to leave Highgarden or be bound to a monster, but her father is unmoved. This marriage, he insists, is her duty. A Tyrell joined to House Targaryen will secure their house's future. As Lyanna is forced toward a fate she dreads, she must face a truth she has feared since childhood: her nightmares were never just dreams-they were a warning.

The Sound of the MUD by Baddie_witta_Book

In the concrete canyons of Cedar Street, music wasn't a hobby-it was a lifeline. Céyah was a girl who was born with a firey temper and a voice like liquid honey, a R&B prodigy who sang to drown out the sirens. Zion was the "Snowmen" a lanky producer with ice-blue eyes and platinum hair who turned the rhythm of the projects into masterpieces. Together, they made a pinky promise to find the "big screens" and never look back. But the mud is heavy, and it clings. When Zion chooses the street to protect Céyah's future, he ends up behind bars, leaving her with a shattered heart and a catalog of unfinished songs. Years later, they are the brightest stars in the sky-Céyah, the Queen of Soul, and Zion, the cold king of the underground. They are finally on the big screens, but the distance between them is measured in more than just miles. It's measured in the letters never sent, the silence of a prison cell, and the resentment of a love sold for a contract. Experience the raw, lyrical journey of two souls who traded everything for the spotlight, only to realize that fame is the loneliest song of all.

To, Xavier by Noah_Bluee

I struggled to meet his gaze as I felt his palm softly caress the side of my cheek, his thumb slowly lifting my head up to meet the emerald green orbs I had grown to admire. "Why won't you let me love you?" I watch the hurt cross his eyes as a lone tear escapes my own. "Because no matter how much you try a part of me will always belong to him Xavier," I step back in hopes of creating some much needed distance between us, but that wouldn't stop the warmth of his hand lingering against my skin. "I'll always belong to Mason Harper.' ********** Kicked out of the only home she's known , Nadiyah braces herself to take on a new set of of struggles. Ones that surprisingly include a bouncing baby boy and a strikingly handsome older man. Messy diapers and forbidden desires will the strong willed raven haired beauty finally get her happy ending?

After the tragic loss of her parents in a devastating car accident when she was just a child, she and her older brother Jason clung to each other, building a life from the fragments of their shattered world. But when Jason is killed in a police shooting ruled an "accident," Kasi's heart is left in ruins. Seeking escape from the pain, she leaves everything behind and retreats to a serene, distant village in China, where the rolling hills and tranquil rivers offer a fragile promise of peace. There, she meets Tang Wei Long (唐伟龙), a man whose name echoes wealth and prosperity, but whose life is shrouded in the cold isolation of his family's industrial empire.

When Wei Long first hears Kasi singing to a group of children, her voice carried a haunting beauty that stirs something deep within him. Will Wei Long's relentless pursuit of Kasi's heart be enough to mend the fractures of her past? Or will the weight of their differences keep them forever apart?

Persefoni (Complete) by espresshoee

✩ She was desperate Sweat was drenching her armor and the stench of perspiration and the blood she was clad in wasn't the sweetest of smell. Yet the only thought in the back of her head was the fact that she was going to die today. Her life will drenched away into the soils of the earth by her queen's hands. This made Christine slap the horse furiously in efforts to make it go faster. The more distance she could put between them the longer she would be alive. "She's going to kill me" Christine mumbled in a hush as the breeze spasmed through her ginger curls. She could feel the adrenaline pumping through her veins as she slapped the horse once again to go faster. Where she was heading, Christine had no thought off. All she knew was her life was pending and the time was running out. Behind, unmoving from her spot Persefoni stood with her warriors. Grabbing Daeril's stack of bows and arrows she slung the carrier over her shoulders. "My queen, how long with this adventure take?" Eddie whispered hoarsely as he eyed Persefoni's blood lust face. She was stealthy with her movement seeming as if she had sunk herself into rage. "An hour" Persefoni vented head clouded with greed. She wanted Christine to suffer. "Should we follow?" Daeril stated eyeing the direction Christine had gone. Persefoni scuffed "Don't insult me" Tightening her sword around her waist she slung the carrier tighter "If I come back with her in my arms alive" Persefoni paused knowing the chance being null and void "Don't question it" With a soft yet effective kick to the horse stomach, the beast sped off in regards to capture. Persefoni slung her helmet protectively over her head as she adorned herself fully in stainless metal. A slow hum left her lips hauntingly as the vast greenery slipped past her vision as only one target was in her mind. "Christine" Persefoni mumbled "My sweet Christine"

Boundless by culturalcruelty

She - A Woman of background, culture and color. A woman who carries pride in her strides, and triumph on her shoulders. A set of thick lips of velvet , thighs of steel, eyes of molten honey, and skin smooth like butter, and roasted to a sensuous melanin complexion. He - A Man of proudness and honor. An anti-traditionalist, stripped of the ideas that were called righteous. Taboo marks his name, in blood his own blood that he cannot wash. His skin pale as the moon and rosy like petals of the spring, the spring that only SHE, can bring him to. He who finds great euphoria and bliss at the sight of SHE, who captures his bare eyes and stolen his manhood.
