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.

Almost Mine. by stupidmilflover

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.

Endgame For You by MckaylaMead

I'm not scared of falling, she told him. Just of not being caught. Seventeen-year-old Danica Parker has always survived by staying quiet, staying small, and staying out of the way. But when her mother lands in rehab and Danica is placed in the care of the wealthy, picture-perfect Hayes family, everything changes. Thrown into a world of soft beds, second chances, and a brooding boy with a bruised past of his own, Danica is forced to confront what it means to be seen - and to matter. Kaiser Hayes, once the golden boy of Ridgeview High's soccer team, is now sidelined by injury and bitterness. But when their worlds collide, so does something else: fire. As Danica begins to rebuild the pieces of her broken world - new friends, stolen kisses, whispered confessions in the dark - a phone call from the past threatens to unravel everything. Her biological father, powerful and dangerous, wants something from her... and he won't take no for an answer. This was never supposed to feel like home. But maybe home isn't a place. Maybe it's a person. A heartfelt, slow-burn romance with secrets, scars, and the kind of love that demands to be fought for.

Cold, cynical, and painfully hot, Oliver has no interest in love-and Kiara isn't looking for it either. But when he finds out the truth about her past, everything changes. Secrets slip. Lines blur. And soon, they're playing a game neither of them can win. She tempts him to break every rule. He makes her want something she swore she'd never need. This was supposed to be just sex. So why does it feel like falling?

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller | by delusionalworld01

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.
