Forbiddentrust Stories

Azela lost everything the day her brother was taken. He failed the Test, and no one would tell her why. The city is ruled by soldiers, the rules are cruel, and trust can get you killed. Kael is one of them. Cold, strict, and loyal to the rulers. But when they are forced to work together, enemies start to understand each other... even if they don't want to. Surviving is hard. Finding the truth may be even harder.

She loved the wrong man her whole life. She died for it. I read her story. I cried for her. I wanted to give her everything the author refused to. Now I am her - and the man she wasted ten years ignoring is standing in my hospital room with flowers and grey eyes and a smile that does something completely unreasonable to my nervous system. Isaac is perfect. Gentle. Devoted. He is also not telling me everything. He knows who poisoned me. He knows who is coming for my shares. He makes decisions in the dark that I am not supposed to find out about, and he sleeps fine afterward, and he looks at me like I am something he has been waiting for with a patience that goes back further than I know. I came here to save Natasha. I didn't come here to wonder whether the most dangerous person in my story isn't the villain at all. *It's the one who would burn everything down just to keep you warm.*

Detective Scarlett Quinn has built her career on instincts that never fail. When she's assigned the murder of socialite Valencia Blackwood, she expects a routine investigation. What she doesn't expect is a partner. Aric Ashford arrives with credentials and a calm charm that unsettles Scarlett more than she cares to admit. He notices details no one else does. He asks questions before she does. And under the long nights of the investigation, Scarlett starts to trust him-maybe even like him. Scarlett thought she was chasing a killer. She didn't realise the killer might be chasing her heart. In a city where secrets can kill, Shattered Trust is a slow-burn romantic thriller about love, lies, and the moment you realise the person standing beside you might be the person you're hunting.
