Between Us
Ava Mitchell didn't come to university to make friends, fall in love, or get caught up in anyone else's drama. She came for one thing — her scholarship. So when she walks into the wrong classroom and crashes straight into Zane Carter, campus golden boy and certified inconvenience, she doesn't think much of it.
Until he shows up with a deal.
Zane needs someone to convince his persistent ex that he's moved on. Ava needs her grades to stay above the line that keeps her scholarship intact. The arrangement is simple — pretend to date, stay out of each other's way, and walk away clean when it's over.
Simple. Except nobody told her heart about the plan.
Because somewhere between late night study sessions, borrowed hoodies, 2am phone calls, and a boy who remembers exactly how she takes her coffee — the lines start to blur. And when the fake smiles start feeling too real and the deal starts feeling too small, Ava has to figure out the hardest thing she's ever faced.
Not enzyme kinetics.
Not scholarship reviews.
Whether what's growing between them is worth the risk of losing everything she came here for.
Some deals are harder to walk away from than others.

Planning revenge on your best friend's ex for treating her like a tissue is good and all.

But the popular good boy accidentally being the victim of it is not.

That's exactly what happens to Brooke and now she has to make it up to the guy she started on the wrong foot with.

His mouth claimed mine, fierce and unrelenting, stealing the breath from my lungs. My palms slammed against his chest, but instead of pushing him away, I found myself clutching at the hard lines of muscle beneath his shirt.

“You taste like sin,” he murmured against my lips before dragging his mouth down the curve of my throat.

“Damien—”

“Look at you, trembling for a man you swore you hated.” His fingers traced higher, stroking where I ached most, and I gasped, nails digging into his shoulders. “Say my name again. Say it like you need me”

Heat pooled low in my belly, my protest tangled with a moan. His fingers teased the hem of my silk slip, pushing higher until his hand found bare skin. I shook my head, the word caught in my throat as he pressed harder, drawing a desperate whimper from me.

I shouldn’t crave him. I hated him.

Our engagement wasn’t real,nothing but a transaction, a lie born of blackmail and secrets…

And still, when his lips crashed against mine, my body betrayed me with the one truth I could never speak aloud.

I wanted him.

Damien Moretti doesn’t believe in marriage.

Not for love. Not for convenience.

But when a buried family secret puts everything his family built at risk, he’s forced to say yes to one thing he swore he never would:

An arranged marriage.

Brielle Lancaster is his last resort.

The polished, proud daughter of the man holding the blackmail.

He doesn’t want her.

He doesn’t trust her.

And yet, the longer she’s in his home, the more dangerous she becomes.. not to his empire, but to his control.

Because falling for her was never part of the plan.

But now that he’s started... he doesn’t know how to stop.

Brielle Lancaster has played her role for twenty-four years .. the perfect daughter, the quiet writer, the good girl.

But when she’s forced into an engagement with the cold, calculating Damien Moretti, everything unravels.

She doesn’t want the penthouse.

She doesn’t want the title.

And she certainly doesn’t want the man who looks at her like she’s a complication.

But behind his walls, she sees cracks.

And beneath the surface, she finds a man fighting demons no one else sees.

She wasn’t supposed to care.

But now she does.

And she’s not sure if it will save her or destroy them both.

Arya was a witch in hiding. Her whole coven got murdered by vampires six months ago, and she was the only survivor. She moved into a university hostel to live a normal life, pretending to be a regular student. No magic. No danger. Just classes and maybe a cute guy.

Then her roommate Zoe started acting strange.

Zoe talked in her sleep with a deep voice. She wrote symbols on the walls in marker. She stared at Arya with eyes that flickered red. Arya tried to ignore it, but she couldn't. One night, Zoe stood over her bed and said, "I know you're a witch." The demon inside her was named Raze, and he wanted Arya's help to open a portal to hell.

Arya didn't have time to process this before Dorian showed up. Dorian was a vampire prince, tall and cold and annoyingly handsome. He said he wanted to stop the demon. But Arya quickly realized he had his own agenda. His vampire council wanted to capture Raze and use the demon's power to control all witches. Dorian was supposed to use Arya and then discard her. But he didn't count on catching feelings.

The story followed Arya as she tried to save Zoe, resist Dorian, avoid Mira (her traitor ex-best friend who was now hunting her), and find a spell that could trap Raze without costing her magic. There were fights in dorm hallways, almost-kisses in laundry rooms, betrayals that made her question everyone, and a final choice that broke her heart.

In the end, Arya performed the sacrifice spell. She trapped Raze. She lost her magic. Dorian promised to protect her forever
The next morning black veins were crawling up her arm. Raze wasn't gone. He was inside her now. And he was smiling.

"Have you thought for a moment that the reason you can't kiss her is because you want to be kissing me instead?" Jordan asks boldly, which leaves me short of words. I know he is angry with me for avoiding what happened between us before Elise came. The fire within his eyes burns into my skin, and all I want to do is grab him and claim him. Yet, I can't. I'm afraid. How can I admit that to him? That the very thought of admitting my feelings for him makes my skin crawl? I wish I can be like him— so bold, so carefree to go for what I want. But it's not so simple. And yet, I still want him so bad.
I don't know what arouses me more. His beauty which— no boy should be that beautiful, or his submissiveness. As I stare at his partly open mouth, I let myself wonder how that sweet soft mouth would feel around my member. The thought alone is enough to push my hardness against the seams of my pants.

you are my queen, and I want to kiss you now,” he said.
I’m not sure that was what I expected him to say, but I had been waiting to hear it. I smiled playfully, looking at him. “Yes, my king,” I said.
Moments, his lips were on mine. The kiss was soft and gentle at first, his hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to him; I let my arms find their way around his neck. I felt his tongue gently run along my lower lip and couldn’t help the soft moan that escaped my mouth at its touch. Von only took that as permission and slipped his tongue into my mouth; I let my tongue explore his mouth as he did the same to mine. Eventually, the kiss grew deeper, and before I knew it, I was straddling his lap in one quick motion. His hands found their way to my hair, tangled in it as he tugged it lightly in his grip. I couldn’t help moaning against his lips; a growl of pleasure came from deep in his throat.

The Shadows of Ardania follows Ariella, a young mage living in a world where magic shapes society, power, and destiny. As an apprentice in the prestigious House of Knowledge, Ariella has always felt that her abilities were different—stronger, but more dangerous than others'. When she accidentally uncovers a long-forgotten prophecy, her entire life changes. Ariella learns that she is the last of the Veilborn, a rare and powerful bloodline tasked with guarding the magical barrier between the world of light and the realm of shadows.

With the Veil weakening and dark forces on the rise, Ariella is thrust into a battle she’s not ready for. Alongside a mysterious rogue named Dorian and an ancient sorceress, Elara, Ariella must unlock her full potential to stop the ancient evil threatening to consume Ardania.

But the path to understanding her power is fraught with danger. Ariella faces betrayal, both from those she trusts and from her own magic, which threatens to overwhelm her. As the shadowy forces move to claim her power for their own, Ariella must decide who she truly is—an heir to the light or a weapon of darkness.

Filled with suspense, action, and rich magical lore, The Shadows of Ardania is a tale of destiny, power, and the struggle to choose between the light and the dark.

They called me Specter. The King of Assassins. The deadliest blade in the Viper Syndicate's history. I never knew fear until the day my own brother in blood put a knife in my heart and threw me off a cliff.
I should have died.
Instead, I woke up in the body of Liana Vex, the discarded, illegitimate daughter of the most powerful duke in the kingdom. A girl so broken by abuse and grief that her spirit had already faded. In her final moments, she left me one desperate wish: Make them pay.
So I made a pact with a ghost. Her pain would become my fuel. Her enemies would become my prey.
Now I walk among the nobility in a body everyone calls weak. They see a fragile girl who should have died in the gutter. They don't see the killer standing in her shadow.
My former organization thinks they buried their king. They're about to learn that dead things don't always stay dead.
My new family thinks I'm a ghost they can ignore. They're about to discover that ghosts make the worst enemies.
And then there's him, the rogue mercenary with the sharp smile and sharper blade. The only person who sees through my masks. My rival. My equal. The wolf who should know better than to chase a shadow.
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I intend to serve it frozen, bloody, and with interest.
The Viper Syndicate took my life. The Vex family took Liana's. I'm going to take everything they have.
And this time? I won't miss it.

“I don't want the cops.” Thompson resumed. “I want you. You're one of the very best detectives I know,"

A wave of silence passed, causing Thompson to grab his glass and finish whatever drink was left in it. He dropped the glass and turned into his friend one more time.

“I need you to help me find out who killed my wife and took my daughter.” The words poured out of him slowly. And dangerously.

Whoever it was, he was going to sniff them out.

And he was going to make them pay.


After five years of fighting for his country on the battlefield, Thompson Holbrook finally returns home, hoping to reunite with his family. But instead of warm embraces, he is met with tragedy.

His wife has been brutally murdered, and his daughter has vanished without a trace.

Grief nearly consumes him, but before he can process his loss, he is pulled into a larger fight. A deadly terrorist group, The Calvary, is on the verge of unleashing a powerful biochemical weapon that could wipe out the entire country and destroy the continent.

To stop them, National Security Adviser Jacob Russel recruits Thompson to lead an elite black-ops unit whose sole mission is to take down The Calvary before it's too late. But the deeper they go, the deadlier the mission becomes. Corruption runs deeper than they could ever imagine, and soon, Thompson begins to question who the real enemy is.

Can he dismantle The Calvary, uncover the truth behind his wife’s murder, and rescue his daughter from the shadows before it’s too late?

“You think you can live without me?” Derek’s voice was low, with a suggestion of something dark, something dangerous.

I should’ve backed away. I should’ve been scared. But instead heat curled in my stomach as he slammed me against the wall and pressed up against his body against mine.

“I don’t need you,” I whispered, even as my breath stuttered when his fingers dragged a slow, torturous line down my arm.

He grinned, eyes of gold pinning to mine as if taunting me to refuse we were shared the same very air. “Liar.”

His lips crushed against mine, stealing my air, stealing my resolve. He tasted like fire and fury, like a war I was already losing. My fingers hold his shirt, torn between pushing him away and pulling him closer to me.

"You are mine, Claire," he growled against my throat, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin there. "Whether you run or not."

But I wasn’t the same weak I once was. I had fought for my freedom. And no matter how much my body betrayed me, I wasn’t sure I was ready to give it up again.

Not even for him.

Noah is broke, exhausted, and one bad decision away from losing everything.
Accidentally binding himself to a three-hundred-year-old demon wasn’t part of the plan.

Kael is ancient, sharp-tongued, and deeply unimpressed with modern life. Being tethered to a human is inconvenient. Being unable to break the pact is worse.
But when memories begin slipping and a silent presence starts watching from the shadows their uneasy partnership turns into a fight for survival.
With a tether binding them together and trauma's cold hand on their shoulder, these two see and survive situations they rather not repeat.

This is slow-burn BL urban fantasy with psychological thriller elements, supernatural tension, and morally gray choices.

Death has never been so carefully balanced.

When a prominent banker is found dead in an apparent suicide, Detective Mira Ellison expects another routine case—until she discovers a black book hidden beneath his chair. Inside are dozens of names: politicians, judges, journalists, even police officers. Some are already dead, their endings ruled accidents or natural causes. Others are still alive… for now.

The book is titled The Shadow Ledger.

As Mira digs deeper, she realizes the ledger is more than a record—it is a prophecy, a contract, a death sentence written in advance. Each name is a debt, and someone in the shadows is making sure those debts are paid in blood.

But then Mira finds her own name inside. Not crossed out. Not yet.

Now, hunted by a faceless syndicate that calls itself The Accountant’s Circle, Mira must race to expose a conspiracy older and darker than the city itself. Every step she takes uncovers another secret, every lead another body. The deeper she goes, the clearer one truth becomes:

Some debts can never be repaid.

And some names were never meant to be read.

The shadow ledger

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
