It was all a fairy-tale at first, but Ellie soon discovers that Hunter, her Prince Charming, isn't so chivalry after all. Locked behind a door of fear and suffering, Ellie is indecisive about whether to speak up about her situation and put the people around her in danger, or keep her mouth shut and withstand the terrors. Ultimately, she's stuck between a rock and a hard place.  And yet, there is still someone lingering in the background. Someone that just might be Ellie's blessing in disguise. He'll help her try and walk away, but will she? Can Ellie walk away, leaving just her footprints in the sand?

But when he vanished into addiction and disappeared from her life, Isla was left behind to face their parents' cold cruelty alone. The girl who once wanted to make them proud became a ghost of herself, scarred, broken, and teetering on the edge. Then came the message. Two years later, her brother reappears with an invitation: escape with him and start over. But Isla's journey from Phoenix to Los Angeles is derailed when her car breaks down in the heart of a city she never meant to enter-Los Santos, home of danger, crime... and The Shadow Killers, the city's most feared gang. Thrown into the chaos is Pierce Bullet, a sharp-tongued, green-eyed misfit with a brutal past and a reputation that stains the streets. He wasn't supposed to mean anything. Yet somehow, Isla finds herself orbiting him like a dying star drawn to its final blaze. Two broken souls. One volatile city. When survival becomes a shared language, can something beautiful rise from ruin?

Malicious Romance by Ekphrastic

Sometimes, not every love story can be as idyllic as it should be. Dean Winchester, bred and raised in the mafia, carried a heart that yearned desperately for love, just like any ordinary person. While the essence of a criminal coursed through his veins, his heart wept for every inhumane act he committed. No matter how hard he strived to become a better man, he couldn't wash away the thick blood of an outlaw. In the end, he never expected anyone to care for him. All he ever longed for in his life was to experience the tender embrace of a mother's love, like everyone else. Sadly, even his own mother chose to abandon him to the clutches of his ruthless father, the Cobra mafia boss. Every twist of fate was fueled by the mere fact that he carried the blood of a killer, leaving him branded as a monster without a chance to prove his worth. Dean grew weary of trying to change people's perceptions of him. Until one fateful day, he crossed paths with the daughter of his sworn enemy, and his world turned upside down. In her presence, he discovered acceptance for who he truly was. For the first time in his life, he experienced genuine love. Every emotion, from tenderness to heartbreak, washed over him, gradually numbing his senses. ***WARNING*** Strong Adult Content & Explicit Language 18+. The story contains brutal acts of violence.

Stranded with the Rockstar (Rockstar #1) by what-she-said

***MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY*** Excerpt: "Haven't you ever done something you shouldn't, just because you wanted to?" He's close enough now that I can feel puffs of air as he speaks. I'm instantly covered in goosebumps. I know he could take them away, but I fight against the impulse. "It's not safe, Harry." None of this is-not the jump, not the temptation. He moves his free hand to the nape of my neck, trailing his thumb along my jaw slowly. "I know it's not safe, Sunny, but I'm not scared." Roma has lived a simple life, never imagining something like this would happen. Being stranded on an island, and with the world's biggest rock star! He's lazy, he only cares for himself, and knows nothing about surviving in this environment. Things couldn't get more bizarre until she discovers the feelings that seem to be growing between the two of them. Will they be able to survive? Or get rescued before it too late? And will they be able to resist the pull toward each other?
