The Ashes We Chose

| ASSASSIN | DARK ROMANCE | TRAGEDY | ROMANCE THRILLER | They met under a sky already dying-one with blood on his hands, the other with vengeance in her veins. Rose was raised in silence and steel, sharpened by grief and a promise she made at fifteen: to kill the man who destroyed her family. Nicholas was forged in shadow and sin, waiting for the day his past would crawl back with a gun and a scarred memory. But neither expected the enemy to feel like home. As Rose infiltrates Nicholas's world with a plan to bury him, emotions she swore she'd sever begin to bleed through every glance, every stolen breath. And Nicholas-who has always known who she is-lets her get closer, lets her cut deeper, because he's tired of surviving a life he never chose. They were never meant to last. They were meant to burn. And when the guns rise beneath a sky that won't forgive them, the question isn't who will pull the trigger first-it's whether love can exist in the same breath as revenge... and whether two broken hearts can choose the same ashes.

The Ashes We Chose

Ours Was The Sin

Mafia | Forbidden Love | Tragedy | Dark Romance They were born to be enemies. They became something far more dangerous. Nicholas is the heir to the most feared mafia family in the North-ruthless, untouchable, a man forged by blood and betrayal. He doesn't flinch. He doesn't forgive. And he never forgets. Amethyst is the quiet daughter of the rival family that betrayed his years ago. Unwanted, unseen, she learned to survive by staying silent. But silence can't protect her from the scars her family left behind-or from the boy she was raised to hate. When Nicholas finds her broken in a field of bruises and secrets, something inside him snaps. What begins as protection becomes obsession. What was once hatred turns into a love that should never exist. As war erupts between their families, bullets fly, and loyalties splinter. Amethyst is forced to choose between the blood in her veins and the man who's never once asked her to change. And when she stands with a gun aimed at his heart... he doesn't move. Because he'd die for her. This is not a love story. This is what happens after the love, when the world demands you tear each other apart-and you choose to burn it all down instead.

Skybound Strangers

Romantic Drama | Slice-of-Life | Serendipitous Romance | Contemporary Fiction Amy's long-awaited trip starts with panic, sweat, and a forgotten passport that nearly costs her everything-until a desperate taxi ride and a miracle sprint through the airport land her on a plane she was sure she'd miss. Breathless and flustered, she thinks the worst is over... until fate seats her beside him. Jo-quiet, magnetic, and impossibly gorgeous-feels like a stranger pulled straight out of a dream. What begins as a simple question about her drink turns into a night of whispered stories, shared smiles, and accidental connection miles above the world. As cloudlight spills across their cabin seats and conversation softens into something almost sacred, Amy realizes that maybe the universe wasn't punishing her with chaos-it was guiding her straight into something unexpected. Something rare. A story of missed beats, perfect timing, and two strangers who found each other in the quiet hum of a midnight flight. Skybound Strangers is a tender, fleeting brush with destiny you'll wish lasted just a little longer.

The Light That Stayed

Bittersweet Romance | Emotional Damage | Found Love in Ruin Aster and Nicholas were never supposed to belong to each other. She came from rules, expectations, and silence. He came from bruises, abandonment, and the kind of loneliness that teaches you not to hope. They met at fourteen-two souls tethered by quiet rebellion and unspoken understanding. As the years passed, life didn't just pull them apart-it tried to break them. Nicholas was swallowed by the world that failed him. Fists, scars, debts. He hardened, disappeared, became a ghost she could still feel in her chest. But Aster never stopped looking. And when he called her years later, bloodied and broken in a rain-soaked field, everything they'd buried rose up like fire. What follows is a love stitched together by pain, memory, and the quiet promise of "I'm still here." This isn't a fairytale. This isn't forever. But it's real. It's raw. And it's theirs. Just now. Just this. Just us.
