Moved by a strange sense of compassion, Riven saves her life—unaware that she is the infamous Mad Queen, a ruthless monarch who slaughtered her entire royal bloodline. In return for his kindness, she teaches him how to wield a sword—an art that awakens a terrifying power within him: the ability to cut through anything. But power comes at a cost. Her gaze shifts from gratitude to obsession. And now, bound by a twisted marriage to a queen whose love is as dangerous as her blade, Riven must decide: will he run from her... or embrace the madness she offers? --- Author's Note Hi everyone, I’m a new author here. To be honest, I got tired of the same old harem tropes—stories where the male lead collects girls like trophies without any real emotional depth. So I decided to write something different. This is a dark fantasy romance centered around one woman only: a yandere queen whose love is as dangerous as her power. Yes, the story contains R-rated scenes—expect some heat. But it’s not just about that. This novel will dive into: Deep character development, The twisted yet intimate relationship between Riven and the Queen, A complex world filled with arcane powers and divine magic, Royal politics and war, And Riven’s journey to become the strongest swordsman in the world. As a beginner, I genuinely welcome any feedback, comments, or even low ratings. Whether you give me five stars or just one, it’ll help me improve—and I truly appreciate it. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy the madness.

There was no such thing as marriage in Adrian Williams’ dictionary. Love? Even worse. As far as Adrian was concerned, his life was already perfect. Women? Money? Easy. Adrian could get both without even trying. But everything spiraled when his beloved grandfather, lying sick in the hospital, made a final request. He wanted Adrian to get married. Immediately. Left with no choice, Adrian had to add that cursed word marriage into his life. Desperate and out of options, he suddenly proposed to the last person anyone would expect. Bianca, his secretary. Bianca Valencia never imagined that her boss, the cold and mysterious playboy, would ever propose to her. And the reason? Because she wasn’t interested in him. Seriously? What kind of logic was that? Feeling bad for him and his grandpa, Bianca said yes. Neither Adrian nor Bianca could predict what would come next. They couldn’t see the future. They weren’t in control. Because love doesn’t always knock politely. Sometimes, it crashes in uninvited. And sometimes, it shows up in the last person you ever expected. Just like life. Messy, unpredictable, and always shifting with the seasons.

He was living the dream life, but he had one single problem; Dante. Dante was the complete vice versa of Hakim; soft, gentle, unnoticed, innocent, and these traits drew Hakim’s heart towards him, and for that reason, Hakim hated him.

I shouldn’t be here. I should’ve turned back the second the door clicked shut behind me. But he was already walking toward me,slow, shirtless, sweatpants riding low on his hips, hair messy from practice. And when he looked at me like that? Like I was the meal and he was done playing nice? My thighs clenched before he even touched me. “You need something, baby girl?” He knew what he was doing. He always did. I opened my mouth, but all I managed was a breathy, “I can’t sleep.” His grin? Wicked. “Don’t worry.” He stepped in close, fingers slipping under the hem of my sleep shirt. “I’ll wear you out.” ~~~~~~~~~~~ He wrapped his hand around my throat whispering, “You shouldn’t want this, but you do.” He’s my stepbrother. The golden boy basketball star with too much charm, too many abs, and no sense of personal space. He walks around shirtless like he doesn’t know what it does to me. Sleeps in my bed like it’s his. Steals my favorite hoodie just to say I smell like his. And the worst part? He falls first. He falls hard. And then he starts chasing. I try to say no. Try to tell myself it’s wrong. But when he pins me to the wall, when he whispers filth in my ear with those hands sliding under my dress… I forget every reason we’re supposed to stop. Because he doesn’t kiss like a brother. He kisses like a man who wants to ruin me,and leave the bruises to prove it. He’s not the villain. But he’s not the hero either. He’s just the gift fate left in my house… And I’m the girl too weak to give him back. You can’t spell stepbrother without sin. And I’ve already committed every one.

“I married the right woman all along…” *** She becomes the stand-in wife for a reason. But the day her nominal husband divorces her, she panics, and so she burns her alimony down with a smile. When she thinks she is free from her terrible fate, she finds herself tied to the same marriage with the same fake name. As she lives in someone’s shadow, would her nominal husband discover her secret? EXCERPT: “Fine. I will accept your marriage proposal on one condition,” the woman across from Aleckin Ferrero said confidently. “Bring it on.” With the same confidence, Aleckin issued a challenge. “Alright, then. First, once I become Mrs. Ferrero, I am not required to appear in public. Second, I must remain inside my bedroom the entire time—unless Grandpa wants me to visit him...” “Hold on…” Aleckin blinked. His brain seemed malfunctioning, as he could not grasp what she was saying. “Come again?” He must have heard it wrong. Every woman on this planet was desperate to link their name to his. They were killing each other to win him over and become Mrs. Ferrero. However, in contrast, the woman he proposed a contractual marriage to, as the fake matriarch of the Ferrero household, has now expressed a desire for a different arrangement.

This is the first time he has encountered such a thing! ‘Is something wrong in her head?’

He ruined her family. She vowed never to forgive him. But when her brother’s hospital bills trap her in a desperate corner, she’s forced into a cold contract marriage… To none other than Ethan Wolfe, the ruthless billionaire who destroyed her life. He wants obedience. She wants revenge. But between closed doors and fiery arguments, lines begin to blur. What happens when hate turns into something dangerously addictive?

In this intimate blend of haikus, short poems, and razor-sharp reflections, Dem Blake dismantles silence and sculpts emotion with surgical precision. From heartbreak to power, seduction to betrayal, each piece is a glimpse into a mind that feels too deeply and trusts too rarely. This isn’t a book of love poems. It’s a book of control, release, and the soft war between wanting to be known—and refusing to be owned. These are the things he never said out loud. Until now.
