Silent Sins by cleofarlyn

When a fire takes everything from Mia, her parents, her home, and the life she once knew, she is adopted by her mother's best friend, Jules Kingsley. Moving into the Kingsley mansion should be a fresh start, but her new brother, Damon, has other plans. Damon is ruthless, possessive, and impossible to avoid. He's made it his mission to remind Mia that she doesn't belong, and their hatred for each other burns brighter with every interaction. But living under the same roof means there is no escape, no distance, no way to keep the lines from blurring. He wants control. He wants her submission. He wants her, no matter how wrong it is. And the more Mia resists, the more his obsession grows, twisting every fight into something darker, every stolen glance into a game neither of them can win.

Beneath His Devoted Lies (Now Available on Kobo) by Vicky255

He looked me in the eyes and lied... every single time. Golden couple. Perfect Toronto life. Everyone called us forever. Then came the earring that wasn't mine. The perfume that wasn't his. The late nights, the hotel receipts, the phone that buzzed with her name. Every confrontation ended the same: Callum staring straight into my soul-the woman he vowed to love-and feeding me pathetic, desperate lies. "It's nothing." "You're imagining it." "I'd never hurt you." I stayed silent. Cried in the shower. Smiled for the photos. Told myself he would change. He never did. One morning hope broke. I packed. Left the proof. Left the ring. Left him. No fight. No words. Just gone. Now he watches my name rise-books, galleries, success-while his world quietly collapses. Too late. No forgiveness. No second chances. Just a woman who endured betrayal in silence... then walked away like thunder. And never looked back💔❤️‍🔥

A Castle in the sky by RaeganSalander

Quick note for my readers before you start this story. It is going to be taken off and sent off to the editor on the 13th of December 2025. Fern thought marriage meant partnership, love, and the quiet safety of family. For four years she's tried to believe that-tried to ignore the sharp edges of a mother-in-law who never wanted her, an ex who had moved too close for comfort and a husband who is always looking the other way. But when her husband's negligence leaves their little girl in a hospital bed with burns on her hand, Fern can no longer swallow the excuses. She is done being the afterthought in her own marriage. Her husband Conner insists he loves her, but love doesn't keep a child safe. Love doesn't silence a mother-in-law's whispers or stop an ex from poisoning the air of every family gathering. Love isn't enough-not when Fern's entire world has been built on the shaky ground of compromise. And as the fractures in their marriage widen into fault lines, Fern has to face the question she's been afraid to ask- What if walking away is the only way to save herself and her daughter?
