After you're back by FineUline

"How bad of a person am I if I want to continue where we left off back then at Liana's house? Knowing that now you are married?" "If it's for me to decide, then not bad at all." I murmured, my hand finding its place on the small of her back, drawing her closer. From the outside, Marie's life seemed flawless: a thriving career in the family business, a husband climbing the political ladder, and a mansion that screamed success. But beneath the polished veneer, her eyes betrayed a haunting sadness. Work was her only refuge, the one thing that numbed the pain. Once, she had known true happiness. She had a loving family and a best friend Kate who was closer than just a friend. Her best friend made her feel alive in ways her husband never could. But seven years ago, everything changed. In the dead of night, without a word, Kate vanished, leaving Marie with nothing but unanswered questions and a broken heart. What happens if suddenly their paths cross again when Marie's uncle, the CEO, hires Kate to fix a data breach? Forced to work together, they must face their past and their feelings. But they are not the same teenage girls they once were. They both have secrets that could ruin everything. As they inch closer to the truth and to each other, they will discover that everyone in their circle conceals a sinister secret. ------------------------------------------------------------------- This story is a mix between detective and romance with dark criminal content and a description of explicit scenes.

Tried For Error by CBNellnebach

"Previously known as... Scarletstroke: Girl assassin" * No hesitation * No killing of children * No killing of innocent people * No emotions * And defenitely, NO falling in love ~ Those are the main rules code named Scarletstroke, former assassin Scarlett Gonzales lives by. She is a highly-trained, highly-precise and highly-dangerous killer who considers herself the same as any other businesswoman, doing 'just her job' and convincing herself that she is dealing with 'just her target' rather than a person. She succeeds in contract killing better than any known assassin that ever existed and successfully ignores all feelings or emotions, knowing that they tend to make the "job" not go as planned. So when a new contract comes in and the mark is a certain gang leader that caught Scarlett's eye, she couldn't resist venturing deeper into a world filled with illegal activities on a personal mission to find out why he has a price on his head. Although, what she finds in that world isn't quite what she expected. Now, torn between duty and passion, Scarlett must decide if she pulls the trigger or if she becomes the target herself? Who knows, maybe he might be the answer to her deepest desires. Because her next target: Cayden Carlisle. +++ The culprit took in a deep, calming breath. "You may as well shoot me now, but just know that I am still going to kiss you." By the time he grabbed her waist with one hand and her wrist, connecting to the hand holding the gun, with the other... she was lost. Completely gone. She never stood a chance. His smell, his mouth, his soft growling noises. They were more than enough to disarm her. "I finally figured something out about you." He whispered, pulling her closer, trying to meld every part of her to him. "You display all your emotions through body language. In this case, your hand is betraying your mask." Every word of his was chosen for maximum impact. No wasted syllables, no extra breaths. Just facts.

Hades by Sehhhhhhhh

They say gut feelings are your guardian angels, Ella Thomas will soon find out that hers was leading her to something she could never imagine existed. Hades has watched over Ella since the day she was born, he was her guardian angel from the depths of the underworld. For centuries he's waited, waited for someone to love. He vowed to himself to protect Ella and only watch from afar. She was so innocent and so human, he couldn't take that away from her. For 20 years he kept his promise, for 20 long and grueling years he watched from afar, until something happens, something that Hades can't ignore. He makes a hasty decision and leaves the underworld, heading to Earth where he knows she will be. But there's a catch, the very person, or should I say God, that Hades despises the most will stop at nothing to destroy his happiness, even if it means killing someone so harmless and oh so very fragile. ....... "How do I look?" He muttered, stepping out of the bathroom. The room seemed increasingly smaller with his large stature in it. I nearly gasped, why did he have to look so good in those grey sweats? I swallowed, trying to act unaffected by his beauty, "Convincingly human." ....... 1st in Love - 13 June 2021 4th in Romance - 13 June 2021 1st in Gods - 13 June 2021 1st in Dark - 30 September 2021 4th in Darkness - 30 May 2022

BROKEN VOWS (Broken Redemption Book 1) by ArianaClarkAuthor

Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the golden boy with a bright future they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parent's property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust.
