(Dark Romance | Slow Burn | Power Dynamics)

Nico is the funny one.
The loud one.
The one who never gets serious - because jokes are safer than feelings.

When his best friends fall in love, Nico tells himself he doesn't mind being left behind. He's always been the third wheel anyway.

Then he meets Rowan.

Rowan is calm. Quiet. Unreadable.
They don't laugh at Nico's jokes.
They don't chase him when he pulls away.
They don't explain themselves.

And somehow, that's what gets him.

As Nico is drawn into Rowan's orbit, attraction turns dangerous and silence starts to feel heavier than words. Rowan's world is built on control, restraint, and secrets - and stepping into it means giving up the comfort of pretending nothing matters.

Because Rowan doesn't want Nico's performance.

They want his choice.

A dark romance about power, consent, and what happens when the joke stops working - and someone sees you anyway.All Rights Reserved

AKSHARA - THE FORGOTTEN SEED by itz_palak_verse

They performed her last rites. While she was still alive. Akshara Maheshwari was erased from her own family before she could even understand what she had done wrong. Abandoned, forgotten, and declared dead, she disappeared from the world that once called her blood. Years later, she returns - not as a broken child begging for answers, but as AK - a name the world admires, fears, and follows. She doesn't come back for forgiveness. She doesn't ask for love. And she doesn't reveal herself easily. Because some wounds don't need apologies - they need truth, power, and reckoning. As the Maheshwaris celebrate, lie, and protect their secrets, the past claws its way back into the present. A past involving betrayal, silence, a sold child, and a savior who changed her fate. What happens when a family realizes the daughter they buried... is the woman who now controls their empire? And what if revenge isn't her goal - but taking back what was always hers? A story of abandonment, survival, silent revenge, and a girl who learned to smile while planning her return. Read to find out: Will the truth destroy them... or will Akshara destroy the truth first?

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.

Keeping Her Under Control (GXG) by Lofty_ray

Serenth Lewis is a young woman in her final year of law school. She managed to land an internship at one of the most prestigious firms. Ambitious and confident, she does everything she can to keep her personal life from interfering with her future career as a lawyer. But beneath the strong image and confidence she projects, Serenth is caught in the grip of her father's manipulation and abuse. Liliane Larris is a cold woman who is the CEO of the law firm. She shows no emotion, neither in her face nor in her actions. She is used to keeping everything under control : her posture, her behavior, her secrets. That is, until Serenth walks into her life, shattering her carefully constructed world and awakening emotions she believed she no longer possessed. If there are spelling mistakes, Sorry. 🚬
