Beth Rivera had one goal-
become one of the best chefs in the country.
Love was never part of the plan.
Especially not with her cold, intimidating chef instructor whose mere presence made entire kitchens fall silent.
Chef Adrian Laurent was control.
Discipline.
Perfection.
And the more Beth tried staying away from him...
the more impossible it became.
Because behind those sharp eyes and controlled expressions was a man capable of ruining her carefully built walls with a single touch.
But in a world full of rumors, pressure, and forbidden attraction-
wanting him could cost her everything.
...
He teaches her in the kitchen.
He ruins her in private.
And if the world finds out about them-
they'll both burn for it. 🔥
𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆: forbidden romance, emotional trauma, possessive love, jealousy, anxiety, panic attacks, mature themes, heavy tension, and a chef instructor who stares a little too hard. 🔥
Also yes... the early chapters are innocent enough. But trust me-keep reading. Things get hotter, clothes disappear faster as the chef completely loses his self-control later on. You've been warned. 😉

Valarie: The Vampire Prince's Maid
Valerie was never meant to be his. But Henry has never been good at letting go. Drowning under student loans, rent she can't afford, and a future slipping through her fingers, Valerie answers a newspaper ad that feels almost like a joke- a live-in maid at a private estate, no questions asked. She expects an eccentric old man. She does not expect him. Henry is hauntingly gentle, painfully isolated, and untouched by the human world he has kept at a careful distance. Raised in secrecy and self-imposed exile, he has spent his life trying to suppress the monster his blood demands him to be. Letting Valerie cross his threshold is a mistake he knows he should not make-and one he cannot bring himself to undo. What begins as shelter turns into fixation. Protection becomes possession. And lust sharpens into something dangerous enough to draw blood. Dragged into an ancient underworld of vampire royalty, ruthless power, and unspoken cruelty, Valerie finds herself bound to a man who would destroy anything that threatens her -- even if that threat is the world itself. Escape is no longer simple. Survival means choosing who you are willing to become a monster for. Because in Henry's world, love is not gentle... and it is paid for in blood. New chapter daily

He's Such a Player
Colson Kelly has always been the kind of chaos people mistake for confidence-effortlessly magnetic, endlessly reckless, and infamous for leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him. But there's always been one rule he never breaks: Scarlett Jones. Scarlett has been his constant since kindergarten. His best friend. His anchor. The only person who has ever seen him beyond the reputation, beyond the noise, beyond the version of himself the world celebrates and judges in equal measure. Now 21, she's built a life of her own in London as a rising model-poised, polished, and finally stepping into a world big enough to match her ambition. Colson, meanwhile, hasn't quite evolved in the same direction. On paper, he's settled-an accountant with a sharp mind, a disciplined routine, and a body that doesn't fit the quiet life he claims to live. In reality, he's still the same man who treats commitment like a joke and connection like something temporary, drifting through women and nights with the same careless ease he always has. But what neither of them ever acknowledged is how fragile their "just friends" boundary has always been. One night in London changes everything. A line is crossed-quietly, irrevocably-and what follows is not romance in its simplest form, but something far more complicated: desire tangled with loyalty, history colliding with consequence, and two people forced to confront what they've been pretending not to feel for years. As the good, the bad, and the ugly unravel between them, Scarlett and Colson are pushed into a question neither of them is prepared to answer: what happens when the one person you were never supposed to lose... is exactly the one you can't keep the same anymore?
