21 year old Sophie Garner is living with her dad- a gambling addict with thousands in debt. One morning she stumbles into a meeting her father is having with a man she's never seen before.
He's captivating, commands the room without even having to speak.
They spoke money, but the stranger wasn't unaware of her presence.
One flash of his charming grin later, Sophie finds herself increasingly attached to him, blindly following him into his dark and dangerous life...
~~~
"Sophie..."
I blushed, the way he said my name was so... possessive. "Max, what're you really trying to ask me?"
His usual charming grin vanished, leaving behind a darkness he scarcely revealed to me.
"...If I hurt you Sophie, will you stay?"

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.Complete
Almost Mine.
Ava Westwood never wanted a stepmother. Especially not one like Lucien Sinclair. At just eighteen, Ava's world is already complicated, college pressure, a strained relationship with her father, and now the arrival of Lucien, a cold, intimidating CEO with perfect posture and a mysterious past shatters what little stability she had left. Lucien is sharp, distant, and beautiful in a way that feels dangerous. Ava's always hated how calm she is. How perfect. How untouchable. But hatred is a strange thing. It lingers. Twists. Deepens. And somewhere between the silence, the glances, and the tension that builds every day in that house, something begins to shift. A forbidden slow-burn romance between an 18-year-old girl and the one woman she was never supposed to want.
The Broken Girl!
Sophie Black is twenty, but she's lived through more than most people twice her age. Trapped in a house that feels more like a prison than a home, she's learned to survive in silence-swallowing pain, hiding scars, and trying to forget a past that never stops chasing her. Then Brandon Salvatore walks in. He's older. Dangerous. Untouchable. A man who rules the criminal underworld with cold precision-and eyes that see straight through Sophie's defenses. Brandon doesn't ask. He decides. And when he decides Sophie belongs to him, nothing will stop him from taking her. She knows he's trouble. He's too controlling, too lethal, and far too off-limits. But when the world has already broken you, danger doesn't scare you-it calls to you. As Sophie is pulled deeper into Brandon's violent world, everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and power begins to shift. He's possessive, ruthless, and infuriating-but he's also the first person who's ever truly seen her. And once you're seen, you can't go back to being invisible. This is a dark, twisted love story about survival, obsession, and the kind of love that doesn't ask for permission. It's not sweet. It's not safe. But neither is Sophie. Not anymore. Trigger warning: contains mature content, violence, trauma, and a morally grey hero who doesn't play by the rules. ----------------------------------------------------------- Plz do read the prologue and then decide if you wanna continue or not. :-) :-* Start date - 15/04/2019 Completed date - 05/07/2025Complete

As stolen glances turn into secret confessions, and innocent touches blur the line between sin and salvation, Callie and Father Luca must decide: Will they resist temptation-or fall from grace together?Complete
