Loving him wasn't meant to hurt.
Sebastian Cole was my first everything. My childhood best friend, my high school sweetheart, and the boy I gave my heart and my body to.
Then he vanished without a word, leaving me with memories that felt like lies.
Years later, I serve him a drink in a town I randomly chose, in a life I never wanted.
He looks the same, feels the same, and is still swearing I'm his.
I tell myself I'm stronger now.
That I won't fall.
I'm wrong.
Because I don't know that he's powerful, ruthless, or that people whisper his name like a warning.
By the time I learn the truth about who he really is, it's too late to run.
Loving him again will cost me everything.
I will soon learn the difference between a broken heart, and a cage disguised as paradise.
<<<This is a toxic dark romance about obsession, betrayals, and the kind of love that survives only after the antihero makes sure there's no other option.>>>>

Completed: Wren and Knox
Wren falls in love before she understands what love can cost. Knox stays close enough to hurt her, never close enough to choose her, teaching her that longing can be cruel when it has no name. Years pass in avoidance and restraint, in almosts and maybes that rot into silence. By the time fate finally claims them, Wren has already learned how to live without him, and Knox has learned too late what it means to lose her without ever truly having her. The bond snaps into place like a sentence, not a gift. Love is no longer innocent. Forgiveness is not promised. But somewhere beneath the damage, something still aches to survive. This story is set in a universe where bonding and mating is commonplace. There is always a HEA ***this story explores mating bonds in humans as a cultural norm. There are no werewolves or supernatural beings in this world***Complete

Between Ruin and Reign
They say a woman like me shouldn't love a man like him. I'm too loud. Too volatile. Too willing to burn everything down just to make a point. But Matthias Moretti didn't pick me for my sweetness. He picked me because I'm the only woman in this cursed city who can take his violence, match his obsession, and ride him like owning him is a birthright. He was supposed to be a holiday sin I'd laugh about later, a sweat-soaked distraction I used to bury my past. Then one savage little truth blew the floor out from under me and everything we built. Now he's tearing apart his own empire trying to drag me home, razing anything that stands between us. He shouldn't worry. I'm not hiding. I'm waiting.
Why Me ✓ (FINAL EDITS)
I pushed back my glasses and enquired, "Hi, did you call me?" I saw him smirk a little and then averted my gaze to anywhere but him. "Yes, Ms. Findlay. I did call you. I wanted to ask; are you the one who is making these new designs? Giving them finishing touches?", he asked pointing to the paperwork on his table. I didn't know why, but my throat had gone dry. So, I just nodded. He got closer to me and instinctively, I took steps away from him. Soon, he had closed the slightly ajar door and I was trapped between him and the door. We were so close that I could feel his breath near my neck. Slowly, he whispered into my ear, "What did you think, I would have forgotten you, Emerson? Do you think this is all a game?" I gulped. That was enough to confirm that he had definitely recognized me. I fake frowned and stuttered while trying to find the doorknob, "I...uh...I...I don't understand what you are talking about.....I...I...I think I should go." I finally found the doorknob, opened the door and practically ran out but, not before hearing him say, "If this is a game, so be it. Let the games begin." ____________________ Emma had only three goals since she was ten: grow mature, study hard and become independent.

LANA It was supposed to be simple. A favor for Caleb. All I had to do was play the part of his girlfriend, just long enough to convince an unwanted admirer to back off. We've always been close. Believable. Safe. But everything changes when Kane Deveraux walks back into town. He has always been a locked door. Cold, distant, impossible to read. But the man who came back is different. Now, his gaze holds me a moment too long, a silent, weighty thing. I see the muscle in his jaw tighten when Caleb's hand brushes my arm. The air itself changes when he's in the room. That old, empty silence between us is now full, taut with something unspoken that he brought back with him. I don't understand this new tension, this sharp, unwelcome awareness that pricks at my nerves. I only know that the safe, simple world I built is gone. And I can no longer pretend that I want it back. KANE I told myself I could forget her. I let oceans and cities grow between us, believing the distance would smother her memory. I thought leaving was the cure. It was a lie. Every day away from Lana Reyes carved at me. The echo of her laugh, the memory of how she could light a space just by breathing in it was a ghost I couldn't escape. I thought coming home would cauterize the wound. That I would find her a stranger, or find myself numb. Then I saw her. Standing beside him. Beside my brother. And the world went up in flames. The want I buried. The hunger I denied. It all roared back the second her smile landed on someone who wasn't me. I've tried restraint. I've tried silence. None of it matters now. Bloodlines mean nothing where she's concerned. If taking her means breaking every rule, if wanting her means shattering my family. Then so be it. Because Lana Reyes isn't just another girl. She's the only thing I've ever wanted enough to burn everything for. She was never his to begin with. And I'll take her. Consequences be damned. Mature, steamy, and dark romance content ahead.
