M/M EROTIC ROMANCE / SUPERNATURAL

When Dr. Frank Harlan, the head psychiatrist at Black Moon Asylum, took in six-year-old Alec Strom, he knew the child was evil. Yet despite the dark soul residing within Alec, Frank felt bonded to the child -compelled to save him from the darkness consuming him. After 13 years of striving to help Alec, Frank is startled to realize that the care he feels for his patient has stealthily developed into something deeper, stronger, than a mere doctor/patient relationship. But when Alec attacks and murders a visiting psychiatrist, Frank is terrified of what will become of Alec -and even more terrified of his own feelings for the disturbed and dangerous young man.

Now, Frank sits alone in his office at the Asylum on the night of Alec's execution, awaiting news of Alec's death - alone with his memories of a troubled child he watched grow into a troubled young man...and somehow fell in love with along the way. When the fated call comes in, he is consumed with sadness and a sense of failure. But the awful night turns to horror when Frank is suddenly faced with the terrifying reality that evil isn't so easily extinguished...or predictable.

Burning Love (SoulScape #3) by AMS1971

M/M DARK EROTIC ROMANCE Frank is horrified when he learns that Alec caused the bar fire -and why he did it. Believing that his best friend, Ron McNeil, was also one of Alec's victims, Frank is devastated and forced to remove his blinders where Alec is concerned. Unwilling to be the "reason" behind Alec's deadly acts, Frank is left with no choice but to send Alec away -and insist he not come back. Alec leaves the city behind, on foot. But as those unfortunate enough to encounter him along the way soon discover -when evil is in a bad mood...don't piss it off. Truths quickly surface that cause Frank to doubt his decision to send Alec away. When another fire in a remote area not far from the city is broadcast on the news within 24 hours of Alec's departure -indicating two dead -Frank is convinced it is Alec's doing. Realizing Alec is more dangerous out on his own, without supervision, Frank is compelled to find him and take him somewhere away from people -for everyone's sake, including Alec's. Yet locating someone who can change appearances at will, is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Mentality of The Heart by Taehyungstwin123

When a healer meets a man broken beyond repair, can she save him-or will he destroy her instead? Alice Monroe is a 24-year-old psychiatric prodigy, celebrated for her brilliance at London's most prestigious hospital. Known for her control and empathy, she thrives on order-until she's assigned the impossible: Alexander Dante Bianchi. Alexander, a 26-year-old Italian billionaire, is everything Alice isn't: chaotic, magnetic, and dangerously unhinged. Beneath his charm lies a darkness he hides from the world, a disorder so destructive that no one dares confront it-until now. Their sessions are a battle of wits and wills, where every breakthrough comes with devastating consequences. For every wall Alice tears down, Alexander pulls her deeper into his fractured world, blurring the line between patient and doctor, sanity and obsession. As their connection intensifies, Alice must decide: can she save a man who refuses to be healed, or will she lose herself in the process? In this gripping tale of love, madness, and redemption, the line between light and darkness has never been thinner. This is not just a story of healing. It's a battle of control, an obsession that ignites, and a bond that could either save or destroy them both.

Open for Negotiation by fireheather

He watched as her eyes skimmed over his dark eyes and black hair with barely a reaction. He felt his pride twinge a bit so he went further. Lifting his hands, he let the blood drip from them. Her eyes widened slightly and her chin rose. She looked at his hands then back at him. His dark eyes gleamed in a challenge. "You've not harmed me or mine, faery." She spoke out loud. "Blood does not scare me and neither do you. Keep your dog on its leash." Then she turned and calmly walked back inside. Intrigued now, he went to the window of the house and watched as she reassured her mother that the dog was gone "I'll see you tonight, reckless child." He promised softly. **** Marcus felt himself beginning to wake and struggled to stay in the dream. But it was no use. His eyes opened and he released the pillow his hand was gripping. It was the same one that she had laid her head on every night. His head went into the pillow heavily for a moment, breathing in her faint scent. He hated and treasured dreams like that with equal fervor. He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. It had been decades since she'd been forced to break that promise. He lifted his hand and touched the ring that had been her last gift. It had been decades, but it was yesterday. ***I did not skimp on the steamy scenes so consider yourselves warned ok? There are also a few violent scenes that I'll try to remember to put a warning before so you'll have a heads up. Any of the pictures/artwork were found online so I reserve no rights to those just the story. But I do reserve all rights to the story. This story runs concurrently with "Bloody Desire" and "All Roads Lead to Rome" Awesome new book cover is courtesy of @ScarlettOlivier. She's awesome. Check her stuff out.

Cry Me A River by StormeKeller

Valentine was an orphan with no memories of her family, all she had left was an old necklace-and the scars from years in an abusive relationship. When she finally escapes, she seeks protection from her old friend Kenji, a man she once secretly loved, despite knowing he could never love her back. But safety is fleeting. Kenji's domineering boyfriend exudes danger and dominance, in turn to always make Valentine feel on edge around him and the tension between the three of them crackles with dark, forbidden desires. Valentine discovers her bloodline is anything but innocent-she's the daughter of a fallen drug lord who before death claimed him left a promise of her hand in marriage to the powerful and brutal Caine family. Worse still, Tyler, her ex-boyfriend, knew it all along. His love was a lie, his only goal to secure a child and seal their family's legacy. Trapped between deadly secrets, a tempestuous connection with Kenji and his lover, and the dark legacy she's inherited, Valentine's life is a dangerous game of power, passion, and survival. Will she sink under the weight of her past, or rise to claim her own future?

In Shadows of Night by dstry0515

I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.

Saviour of the Broken by FallingFar

Boys, girls, and humans of all kind! Sit down, shut up, and strap in tight, because you're in for one fucked up ride. - Frankie is nothing short of a glorified serial killer, a psychotic basket case, the sickening product of a fucked up mind. While it's in his very instincts to tear answers right from the very tissue of his enemies, one broken kid makes him think twice. And boy is he broken. This is the twisted life of Frankie and Gee. A mafia inquisitor and an abused, ex-drug runner. - So, I've been steadily working at this for almost a year now. It's a long time coming, but I hope you guys like it. That being said, this will probably have a very selective audience considering it's content. This is, like the description mentions, one fucked up and weird story. So, enjoy at your own risk, but don't come yelling at me if you're not that into it. I started this story off trying to somewhat vaguely base Frank and Gee off of Harley and The Joker, but with a little twist. I have no idea how it ended up the way it did, but I like it. Not to mention, I'm a total sucker for mafia!frank. I'm sure this probably isn't the best, but oh well. Here it is. P.s. The stories aren't exactly supposed to connect like a typical plot line. Its more a collection of experiences. -xoxoRiley

You Stress Me Out (BoyxBoy) by XxCatXKittyxX

Chase Michaels became a doctor on a whim - nothing more, nothing less - and the same applied when it came to choosing where to work. He decided on the Junpei Institution based on a ﬂeeting sense of interest after seeing their ad. Most of the things he's done in life were decided in a similar "spur of the moment" way, including going to medical school in the States. This time, due to his complete lack of research, Chase finds himself surrounded by violent, testosterone-driven young criminals, the absolute worst of the worst, who only have the facility standing between them and a dissolute future of felonies and anarchy. For a man whose adult life has been decidedly carefree, his time at Junpei threatens to overwhelm and drown him in a contracted five years of stress. His personal Hell reaches feverish heights after a certain student takes a vocal, damning interest in him, a man by the name of Luca Nixon. Tethered to the No Man's Land that is Junpei, Chase is securely kept within Luca's perplexing hands, tossed and turned about by his every whim. And though the doctor has his doubts that the "student" is who he says he is, Chase finds himself pulled in by a confusing sense of connection, unable to shut the other man out completely. Their budding relationship increasingly threatens to break down every coping mechanism he's carefully gathered and force him back into a reality that nearly destroyed him as a child. And Luca is all too happy to guide him, hand in hand, every step of the way back into the muck. |☆| Warning: This is a gay dark romance novel. There will be man on man action. And some violence, I guess. |☆|
