RUIN ME TENDER

"Hate was the only thing between us—until it wasn’t." -ISLA- Revenge is my birthright. Ever since the fire that claimed my brother and shattered my family, I’ve rebuilt the Moreau empire from the ashes. But every brick I’ve laid, every deal I’ve struck, has come with one goal in mind: uncovering the truth behind that night. Ciaran Valente is the man I’ve hated since I learned how to hate. Infuriating, cruel, and too clever for his own good, he thrives in darkness, just like I do. But when the ghosts of my past tie his family to my brother’s death, my hatred becomes the least dangerous thing between us. Because Ciaran doesn’t just step into my world—he consumes it. He sees through my armor, breaks down my defenses, and dares to turn my pain into something far more dangerous than vengeance: desire. But love doesn’t exist for people like us. Only power. Only lies. And when the masks come off, one truth will destroy us both. -CIARAN- Isla Moreau is my personal form of torment. Sharp-tongued, calculating, and as untouchable as ice. I’ve craved breaking her for years—not just to prove I could, but because there’s nothing more tempting than watching a queen fall. But Isla isn’t a game. She’s fire wrapped in steel, and she hides secrets even darker than my own. When the past collides with the present, revealing the cracks in our perfect façades, I discover something I didn’t think I was capable of: obsession. She consumes me—mind, body, and soul. But while I want to own her, she wants vengeance. While I crave her surrender, she wants the truth. And in the end, we’re not just enemies. We’re fated to ruin each other.

Miho the Killer

A kind girl falls in love with a vicious killer. Unhinged Yuri story set in Seoul. ------ “Like a prey waiting with a trap, I missed my predator. I missed her touch in the places I’ve never been touched. I wanted to hear her sing the songs that I’ve never heard.” ------ As the blood dripped off the knife she held firmly in her pale hand, I saw my reflection in the cold blade that had just taken the life of a man. I dreamed of magical moments like this every day. Something - someone to come and free me from the suffocating monotony of normalcy. She stormed into my life brandishing death, and in the moment of madness, my heart fluttered. Then she came to my place, uninvited. I treated her wounds and fed her. She slept on my couch like a cat. We started our lives together. Death bound us like the knot of tie I fixed for her as she left for work - to kill, kill, and to kill again. I spent countless nights sitting in darkness, on my couch hugging my knees, gripped with worry and excitement. I prayed for her safe return home, but I did not pray for the souls she’d be sending to hell. But she always returned, like a stray cat coming for food in the back alley behind a restaurant. I was the cook who put out the food for her, stroked her, and gave her shelter. A stray cat. A great feline predator. She was mine and mine alone. Together we laughed, alone I cried. Together we laughed, alone I cried. But I think we also loved. I think. ------ This is a dark and twisted psychological slice-of-life romantic comedy with a sprinkle of inspiration from the noir genre. If that doesn’t make sense, it’s because it doesn’t.

His Toxic Addiction

"....She was his drug, he was her water..." ............. Arissa had always been an avid fan of freedom. She hated nothing more than being tied down to a relationship, especially when she was still in her early twenties. Yet, her parents had come up with an ultimatum marriage proposal. Strong-willed, confident, independent, and wild Arissa was forced to be humble to her parents and grant their wish of doing something extreme to her to save the life of someone she loves to a fault... And let's not forget, she lives for that person. Fast forwarding to Nicklaus Wyatt, we have a successful, cold-hearted, and Dominant CEO. On the outside, he is the most successful man on planet Earth and the most eligible bachelor but on the inside, he is an extremely damaged and broken soul of no repairs. His mysterious Aura also made it extremely hard for anyone to come close so, they just admired him from a distance. He only has one wish and that is to expand his empire more and not some stupid marriage proposal. So, do we think he would accept the marriage deal?? ....... "I'm your wife and yet, we live like strangers do!" Arissa seethed, gripping his tie in her fist as she tried to support herself. "Of course, it would eventually result in something as ridiculous as a cheating scandal. We aren't even acting like a normal couple should!" She emphasized lowly. Bringing her hand to wrap around his neck, she suddenly missed her footing again and then, she braced herself for the fall about to come but surprisingly, a strong arm for the second time in a night, held her waist firmly. Arissa smiled drunkenly as she made herself comfortable in his strong arms. Bringing her both hands to his checks, she gave them a pinch. "You were scared I would fall?" she asked him with a drunken smile. Yet, that smile was quickly replaced with a frown when she met with nothing but a cold gaze in reply. She pouted and brought her hand to his mouth. Tracing his lips with her slender fingers, "We don't even kiss" she complained with a smile, and at the same time, unknown tears slipped from her eyes. Nicklaus stared at her tears and down at her plump-tinted red lips. He stared at her face again and at her eyes that are already fully stocked with tears and without a second thought, he bent slightly and gave her a light kiss on her lips. SPOILER ALERT::Don't expect a fast romance. Romance would come late because both ML and FL are hard to tame. Their relationship would also go through numerous ups and downs, including occasional break-ups, aggressive ex-girlfriends, attempted murderers, and more. But, would their love strive through all the obstacles or would a few blows and manipulation crumble them Disclaimer: cover is not mine. Daily update, 14 chapters a week. Bonus chapters when pleased. I need all the support I can get from you all I also promise to put in my best. Thank you for reading and supporting sweethearts.....

Digital Nexus: A Smartphone in the Realm of Magic

Eliot Thorne was just an ordinary teenager, living in the modern world and working a late-night shift at a convenience store, until a freak accident changes his life forever. Struck by a speeding truck, Eliot wakes up in the Realm of Aeris, a world brimming with magic, dangerous creatures, and ancient guilds. But the most unexpected thing of all? His smartphone—miraculously undamaged—is still in his hand. Though he finds himself in a world unlike anything he's ever known, Eliot is relieved to discover that his phone remains functional. However, there’s a catch: while he can still access the internet, he can only read the content—he can't interact with it in any meaningful way. The magic of Aeris blocks his ability to engage with this crucial tool, leaving him as a passive observer. His only companion in this strange new world is Ava, his AI assistant, who is still fully operational, helping him navigate the complexities of this magical realm. Armed with maps, news, and a plethora of information from Earth’s internet, Eliot begins his journey through Aeris. But though his smartphone can give him the knowledge he needs, it can't offer direct solutions—he has to figure out everything on his own. From the bustling Valhaven Adventurers Guild to treacherous dungeons filled with powerful monsters, Eliot’s survival depends on his wits, the help of his AI, and the strange knowledge he gathers through his phone. Yet, the deeper he delves into the secrets of Aeris, the more he realizes that there is something far darker at play—a looming threat that could tear both worlds apart. Eliot is caught between two realities: his modern, tech-driven life and a magical world where his phone is his only tie to the old world. But can it truly help him? Or will the magic of Aeris ultimately override everything he thought he knew? In a world where magic controls all and technology is his only weapon, Eliot must rely on his knowledge from Earth, his AI assistant, and his own courage to survive and unravel the mystery behind his unexpected arrival.

Silent Flames, Forbidden Paths

"Let me take a look." Mr. Wright’s voice was calm, professional even, but his touch—steady and assured as he lifted me onto the desk—was anything but ordinary. His hands, broad and strong, lingered just a moment too long on my arm as he steadied me, sending an unwelcome but undeniable shiver down my spine. I swallowed hard, trying not to notice the way his tie loosened slightly as he leaned in or the faint scent of cedarwood and worn pages that seemed to follow him everywhere. He was close enough now that I could see the faint worry lines etched into his brow as he carefully slid the strap of my uniform off my shoulder. "Alina," he said softly, his voice low but tinged with exasperation, "why do you always end up hurt?" His fingers ghosted over the darkened skin near my collarbone, examining it with the precision of someone who cared too much but tried not to show it. "You need to stop being reckless," he murmured, his tone shifting, softer now. "If anyone bullies you again, come to my office, and I’ll deal with them." It was a simple offer, but I had to remind myself, loudly and firmly, that this was my Mr.. The man responsible for my education, not... whatever my mind was trying to turn him into. "Mr. Wright," I started, trying to regain control of the situation—and my racing heart. "This really isn’t a big deal. I can handle myself." His jaw tightened ever so slightly, and for a fleeting moment, I thought he might argue. Instead, he stepped back, his hands falling away from me as if realizing they’d overstayed their welcome. --------------------------------------------------------------- Alina Hart, a sharp-tongued high school senior, hides behind sarcasm and wit to mask the pain of fractured family life.

What begins as reluctant mentorship soon transforms into a tangled web of forbidden emotions, unspoken words, and an undeniable pull that neither can ignore. Set against the bustling corridors of an urban high school and the quiet corners of a library filled with unspoken confessions, Silent Flames, Forbidden Paths explores the fine line between admiration and desire, duty and vulnerability. As Alina and Wright grapple with their feelings, they must confront their moral boundaries and the cost of their choices. Can they maintain the lines they’ve drawn, or will their emotions blur them beyond recognition?

Get out! You should’ve been dead all along!” Airi was never bothered by any harsh words, and Shiro was no one to her.

RISE OF FORSAKEN LUNA

Zaia Toussaint felt she was meant for brilliance.

But Zaia is tossed out—betrayed, humiliated, bereft of everything she loved—when her mate ruthlessly rejects her for another before the whole pack. Now an outcast, Zaia must negotiate the perilous rogue territory with just her determination to survive and a deadly secret: she carries the Alpha's heir.

Her fate is interwoven with an ancient power that might either doom all the split werewolf tribes or unify them. But there is danger on her way to her actual calling. Haunted by the ruins of a shattered mate bond, stalked by rivals, and chased by those who would use her for their own benefit, Zaia must create improbable alliances to survive. Dax, a renegade Alpha with a dark past and personal secrets, is chief among them. Every battle fought side by side strengthens their bond, yet as trust deepens the risk of treachery increases. The stakes are higher when Zaia gets a note from the Moon Goddess personally. A darkness festers in the centre of the Crescent Moon Pack; the tie with her mate has been poisoned. Zaia has to travel to where the moon meets the sea—a site of myth and lethal secrets—to find the truth. With the destiny of the packs hanging in the balance, Zaia has to choose: will she recover her proper place as Luna, or rise above the roles others have put upon her to become something far greater—the Forsaken Luna?
