Aira Grace has spent her life yearning for love in a house ruled by power. The daughter of influential politician Marcus Grace, raised without a mother and ignored by an ambitious brother, Aira grows up believing love must be earned through patience and sacrifice. Rowan Royce is born into blood. The son of a retired mafia leader, carrying the weight of a shattered family and an elder sister lost to betrayal, Rowan lives by one rule—never trust what love shows on the surface. When a political feud between the Grace and Royce families leaves his father injured, Rowan’s world hardens into revenge. Their paths cross through Rowan’s younger sister at university. Aira falls for Rowan without knowing the storm surrounding him, and Rowan—despite his cold restraint—allows her into his life. When Aira begs him to marry her, Rowan agrees, hiding vengeance behind wedding vows. To Aira, the marriage is imperfect but precious. She loves him through his silence, his distance, and the hostility of his world. Happiness shatters when Aira discovers Rowan’s true identity—his hands stained red by the mafia life he never escaped. A violent confrontation drives her into flight, straight into a carefully laid trap. Her enemies steal her unborn child through a forced operation, then manipulate Rowan into believing his wife ended the pregnancy herself. Broken by misunderstanding and blinded by hatred, Rowan abandons her in the hospital—yet never fully lets go. He ensures her recovery from a distance, torn between revenge and the woman he loves but cannot forgive. When news reports claim Aira has been murdered, Rowan descends into madness. His mercy disappears. One by one, his enemies fall—until the truth surfaces. Between cruelty and devotion, revenge and misunderstanding, Rowan and Aira suffer the most. Yet in a world built on blood and lies, they discover that survival itself can be an act of love.

In the rotting husk of a world where cities burn under atomic skies and power is measured in blood and blackmail, Draxton is owned by the Krossvales — seven orphaned brothers raised by a sadistic father into gods of violence. They deal in weapons, fear, and broken bodies, profiting from every war while the rest of humanity chokes on ash. Vernon Krossvale is their blade: 6'2" of scarred, combat-hardened muscle, long dark hair framing a face carved from stone and rage, coat always open over a bare, slashed torso. He kills without blinking, feels nothing when he does — until the night a girl sees him gut a man in the forest with brass knuckles and pull out his intestine. Vernon's death gaze falls on her. She runs. He smells her fallen handkerchief. And something inside him — long dead — wakes up. Ira Royvane never wanted Draxton. She came for survival, not salvation. But that night branded her. She was never meant to survive the gaze that pinned her in the dark — eyes that saw her to the bones. Vernon haunts every sketch she draws — his bloodied hands, his shadowed eyes, his lethal beauty. When the Krossvales seize her school through threats and terror, turning classrooms into their personal hunting ground, Ira becomes prey in their empire of cruelty. The Krossvales violate the girls the way wolves tear meat from still-kicking prey—playful, tearing, taking turns. Any brother, father, boyfriend who bares teeth in defense is dragged down and opened from throat to groin. While innocence bleeds—the monsters laugh . Vernon watches — always watching — helpless against Kai’s insanity and his own buried guilt. Until the day Ira crashes into him again, body pressed to his fever-hot skin, and for one heartbeat the monster feels something worse than emptiness: need. The man who has never wanted anything now wants one thing above all: her. Not to destroy. Not to possess. To shield. To keep. To feel something other than guilt and emptiness for the first time in his ruined life. In a city where mercy is suicide and love is the deadliest sin, a monster begins to question his chains — and a girl begins to wonder if the nightmare who haunts her drawings might be the only one capable of saving her from the rest of the monsters . **My Monster Man** — A raw, obsessive dark romance of guilt that bleeds, trauma that scars, forbidden desire that burns, and the fragile, dangerous hope that even the blackest heart can still want to protect the light it was never meant to touch.

[WARNING: Mature Content, R18+] [Strictly for Adults Only] I, Nate Cole, Captain of CSI, am damn fucking good at my job. I followed the law, trusted the evidence, and never let anyone distract me… not even the criminals I locked behind bars. Until Adrian Blackwood was forced back into my life, the dark, ruthless, devastatingly handsome Mafia Boss serving a twenty‑year sentence at Hell’s Watch, the city’s most notorious high‑security prison. A fortress built to cage mafia lords, serial offenders, and corrupt officials, and a place where even the guards whispered about inmates who ruled empires from behind steel bars. And he was exactly the kind of man I was raised to despise. “You’re the one who came to me, Nate Cole… what makes you think I’ll cooperate with you or that you can resist me?” His gray eyes smoldered, daring me to look away. I leaned back, meeting his gaze evenly. “Resist you? Please. You’re a bastard behind bars. I don’t do fantasies… and I don’t entertain criminals.” He smirked, stepping closer, voice low and teasing. “Criminals, maybe… but you look like someone who enjoys losing control, and I bet, I can make you beg.” He was the key to a case I couldn’t solve without him, and every glance, every word, every brush of his presence set my pulse racing. His control was intoxicating, and his power is undeniable. “I will break you beautifully, completely, and only into mine,” he whispered, a dangerous promise that shattered every rational thought in my head as the sizzling chemistry and attraction rose between us. I was supposed to stay professional, fucking resist, but some chains weren’t meant to be broken… and some temptations weren’t meant to be denied. Adrian Blackwood was my enemy, and falling for him might have been the most dangerous, most thrilling crime I’d ever committed. I had no idea which one of us was going to survive the darkness… me or him or the fucking world was going to burn.

"You sold yourself to save them. Now I'll destroy them to keep you." Five years ago, Seraphina Winters made a devil's bargain. Her stepmother's medical bills were crushing her family. Her father was drowning in debt. Her stepsister Madison begged her: "Please, Sera. You're the only one beautiful enough. The Ashford family is desperate for a bride." The deal was simple: Marry Damien Ashford, the dying heir trapped in a wheelchair. Play the devoted wife at charity galas. Smile for the cameras. When he dies—six months, maybe a year—collect your widow's inheritance and save your family. No love. No touch. Just a transaction. Seraphina signed the contract in blood-red ink and became Mrs. Ashford overnight. For five years, she's lived in a golden cage. Her husband is cold, distant, barely speaks to her outside of public events. He sits in that wheelchair like a king on a broken throne, watching her with eyes that seem to see straight through her soul. She tells herself she's doing her duty. Tells herself it's temporary. Tells herself not to notice how devastatingly handsome he is when he thinks she's not looking. Then her stepsister Madison crosses the line. At the annual Ashford Foundation Gala, in front of Manhattan's elite, Madison humiliates Seraphina publicly—calls her a gold-digger, a whore who married a cripple for money, announces that their father gambled away everything and Sera's "sacrifice" was all for nothing. Seraphina runs from the ballroom in tears, her perfect facade shattered. Three days later, Madison is found dead. The news reports it as the work of the Ghost—New York's most feared assassin, the phantom who kills for the city's most powerful crime lord. Seraphina should be horrified. She should be grieving. Instead, she's watching the press conference, and a silhouette in the background catches her eye. The way he moves. The shape of his shoulders. That specific tilt of his head. Wait. She knows that silhouette. Her hands shake as she turns to look at her husband, sitting in his wheelchair across the room, eyes fixed on the television with an expression she's never seen before. Dark. Possessive. Satisfied. "Damien," she whispers. "What did you do?" He doesn't answer. But when he finally looks at her, his eyes are absolutely glacial. "I told you, Seraphina." His voice is velvet and violence. "In our wedding vows. Til death do us part." He stands up. Seraphina stops breathing. Damien Ashford walks toward her—no wheelchair, no weakness, nothing but lethal grace and terrifying power. He's been lying for five years. About everything. "You're mine," he says, backing her against the wall, his hand sliding possessively around her throat—not choking, just claiming. "You sold yourself to me. Signed the contract. Said the vows. And I've been waiting, Seraphina. So fucking patiently. For you to stop seeing me as the dying man and start seeing me as the monster I actually am." "The Ghost," she breathes. His smile is beautiful and terrible. "Your husband. Your monster. Your killer."

The strength of my novel lies in its emotions - fear, silence,love, thrill, memories, and the hidden truths - combined with a mysterious atmosphere that makes ordinary village life feel extraordinary. It consists stories where real life meets mystery, and the biggest surprise is how close the truth feels to reality. It is inspired by real experiences from my village life. The characters and events feel authentic because they are rooted in truth, but I have added layers of mystery and suspense that keep readers guessing until the end.
