When a high-profile murder shakes the Upper West Side, journalist Harper Lane thinks she's finally found the story that will elevate her career. Until she writes one name she shouldn't have-his.
Julian Hale. Charming. Untouchable. Suspiciously connected. And now standing at her door, offering an interview she never asked for.
He claims he wants to help clear things up. He swears he's innocent. He tells her everything she wants to hear.
But the deeper they dig, the more Harper realizes two things:
1. Julian knows far more than he's saying.
2. Someone is willing to kill to keep him quiet-and her with him.
Now she's trapped in a murder investigation with the one man she absolutely cannot trust... and the only one keeping her alive.

OF STORM KISSED LIES
Description: Detective Alex is trained to read between the lines-but what happens when her life becomes one long, tangled lie? At work, she's hunting a sadistic killer whose victims are piling up fast-each body left in the rain, carved with symbols no one can decode. At home, chaos reigns: her 13-year-old daughter is pregnant, her teen son is spiraling into addiction, and her ex-husband is nothing more than a voicemail that never gets returned. She's holding a badge in one hand and her sanity in the other-barely. Then comes the man in the storm-dark-eyed, enigmatic, impossibly seductive. The kind of man who should come with a warning label... or a body count..There's an immediate pull, a desire so fierce it breaks her rules. He disappears before she can ask his name. And somehow, Alex keeps letting him back in. Into her house. Into her bed. Into the case? As the bodies stack higher and the storm outside grows more violent, so does the one inside her. She doesn't know who to trust-including herself. Why does the killer feel so close? Why do the clues keep pointing to the man she can't stop touching? And what happens when the line between hunter and prey disappears completely? Alex keeps digging. And sleeping with the suspect. She tells herself it's control, strategy. But how many more people have to die before she stops confusing pleasure for protection? Can she uncover the truth before her family collapses entirely? Or will her need-for escape, for touch, for him-drag her into a grave she didn't see coming? How many lies can she tell herself before one of them becomes her own obituary? Some storms kiss. Others kill. And some... do both.
The Quiet She Keeps
Lavinia "Vinny" Hale has built her world out of silence. A quiet, sharp-minded Crime Scene Investigator who sees too much, feels too much, and hides the rest behind red hair and tired smiles. The dead don't scare her. The living... that's another story. When a string of brutal murders shakes the city, Vinny keeps crossing paths with Elias Ward - the reclusive records clerk who seems to know more about her cases, and about her, than anyone should. Calm. Unassuming. A man who blends into every crowd... except to her. There's something off about him. Something dangerous. Something familiar. As the bodies pile up and the line between watcher and protector blurs, Vinny discovers she might not be the only one keeping secrets in the dark. And the truth waiting for them both is simple, terrifying, inevitable: Not all monsters hide. Some wait. Some watch. Some fall in love first.
Princess
COMPLETED. Damon Hale-the rising king of the underworld, focused on taking over the family "business". The list of things he cared about were limited-keeping his family and his power safe from the hands of rivals who would stop at nothing to destroy them. Harboring his obsession with the only woman in the world who was utterly apathetic toward him was an arduous task, albeit one he did well. Until he realized her fierceness was all just a shield to protect a soul as broken as could be. Tantalizingly perilous. Maddeningly muted. Unbelievably temping. Kings of New York - Book 2.

HIS ADDICTION
VIOLENCE,VERY MATURE CONTENT 18+ Bella - " Please leave me sir i am a very simple girl, i am not your type neither i am of your use, you will get any girl i be..... Michael - "don't push me baby, it will go in vein" - i opened the drawer simultaneously grabbing her hands and pulled a handcuff set from it. I cuffed her hands each side on the bedpost. Bella - "what why are you caging me .... Aahh what are you doing leave me for god sake... " - i started crying badly and was flinching whenever he tried to touch me. Michael - "now look at yourself, you look so beautiful tied up , in a helpless state, I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT, ANYWHERE I WANT WITH YOU" nowadays you will observe people with no obsession or no possessiveness for their lover or partner which is quite boring. Being possessive and obsessed with your partner adds more power and seriousness in the essence of love and this quote signifies my thought perfectly that "everything is fair in love and war". ENJOY the story of two people very opposite to each other where Michael Romano is ruthless and a cruel king of powerful Mafia Empire who have only seen gore and bloodshed in his life, he inflicts pain in a sense where you cant even imagine. On the other side a girl Bella Mathews with a very simple yet difficult lifestyle where she tries to earn for her family with handwork and wisdom. things will take turn when she will be kidnapped and ruined in the clutches of Michael.Complete
