This is Just a Dream
Updated at Jun 29, 2026, 13:51
They tell you that loving a solder is all about the anticipation of reunions, the lingering scent of his cologne on your pillow, and the heart shaped joy of a life built on promises. But they never mention the silence in an empty house that was meant for two, the midnight tears that map the distance, the suffocating weight of an unknown future, the ringing in your ear from your soul tied to theirs. Every knock at the door becomes a test of courage- is it a handwritten confession of love from across the sands of the desert, or a life-altering shadow falling across your doorstep? This is a story about the boy who stole all your first and the man he became when he put on the soldiers uniform- a man tethered to a heroic cause thousands of miles away, fighting for the dream you both dared to build. What do yo do when your heart belongs to a soldier?

The Sweet Taste of Malice
Updated at Jun 25, 2026, 10:35
In the suffocating, hyper-polished world of Oak Ridge High, identity is a script written by legacy and expectations. Ryan Fitzgerald is the town’s undisputed king—the golden-boy starting quarterback with a brilliant future, a picture-perfect girlfriend, and a powerful father directing his every move. Klara Herrera is his exact polar opposite: the brilliant, invisible outcast who navigates the hallways like a ghost, hiding from the cruel whims of the school's elite varsity clique. They were never supposed to cross paths. But when a private tutoring arrangement forces them into the same orbit, the plastic mask of the golden boy fractures. In the quiet, shadowed corners of the school library, an intense, intoxicating, and fiercely possessive connection ignites between them—a secret sanctuary built in the dark. But secrets are currency in Oak Ridge. When a hidden enemy captures a devastating piece of footage from their private sanctuary, Ryan is hit with an impossible ultimatum: publicly destroy Klara and put her back in her place, or watch the blackmailer ruin both her life and his hard-earned future. Forced into a corner, Ryan turns himself into a monster, staging a brutal, public breakup that leaves Klara heartbroken and furious, and Ryan physically deteriorating under the crushing, sickening weight of his own guilt. As Ryan falls ill from the sheer agony of leaving her, the boundaries of his control begin to violently unravel. When a ruthless teammate tries to claim a newly single Klara, Ryan’s possessive, primal instincts completely override his logic. What follows is a volatile descent into obsession, culminating in a fierce, high-intensity confrontation in the varsity locker room where all secrets are stripped away, and their dark, consuming bond is permanently cemented. With the clock ticking toward the championship game, Klara refuses to remain a victim. Turning the tables on their blackmailer, she uncovers a shocking betrayal from within her own inner circle. Together, the golden boy and the outcast must dismantle the town’s corrupt hierarchy, cut the strings of the ghosts haunting them, and decide how much of their world they are willing to burn to the ground to keep each other safe. A dark academia, high-stakes contemporary romance, Savage Rites explores the thin line between protection and obsession, and the lengths one boy will go to claim the only girl who ever made him feel alive.

White Roses, Black Doves
Updated at Jun 12, 2026, 08:50
Novellas. 1.The love you want- 2.The law of possession - He doesn’t just watch; he tracks. He doesn’t just desire; he consumes. Damon, a man whose badge is merely a front for his darker cravings, has turned the town of Oakhaven into a hunting ground—and Veronica is his only prey. Every move she makes is caught by his lens, every breath she draws accounted for in his twisted, private log. He has dismantled his life to become the architect of hers, blurring the line between protector and captor until she is isolated, marked, and entirely his. But Veronica isn't running. She’s waiting. Caught in a lethal game of shadows and surveillance, they have shed the pretenses of society to find a terrifying, absolute freedom in each other’s arms. In a world of secrets and blood, their obsession is the only truth left—a dark, possessive hunger that neither of them wants to escape. She is his ultimate secret, and he is the monster who will burn the world down just to keep her for himself. 3.A hunger through time-He was the ghost of her past, the obsession of her present, and the only man who knew exactly how to make her surrender. Cornelius didn’t just walk back into Alice's life—he claimed it, binding her to him with promises made in blood and secrets buried beneath the floorboards. Fierce, calculated, and undeniably dangerous, his love isn't just a devotion; it’s a cage. Once he decided she was his, he refused to let the boundaries of life or death stand in his way. Some promises are whispered, but his were forged in shadow—and he always keeps his word. 4.Library books, drugs, and rock and roll-Jimmy Santos is the king of chaos, a man fueled by applause and broken promises. Vivian is a quiet sanctuary, a woman who finds her peace in the rustle of paper and the stillness of the library. They were never meant to collide, but when the noise of his world threatens to swallow him whole, he finds his only escape in her. In the space between his savage fame and her gentle reality, they discover that sometimes, the most beautiful music is the kind you don't play for a crowd. Can the man who destroyed everything learn to build a life worth keeping? 5.Savage rights and hallows eve-In the wild, blood is a contract—and Elara has just been claimed. Elara Vance didn’t go into the forbidden woods to find love; she went to burn the secrets of her town to the ground. But she wasn't prepared for Kaelen, the ancient, obsidian-eyed Alpha who saw her defiance not as a threat, but as an invitation. He is a creature of raw, untamed instinct, and she is the only thing that has ever brought him to his knees. Bound by a mark etched in fire and desire, they are locked in a lethal dance of power and surrender. Kaelen doesn’t just want to protect her—he wants to consume her, to rewrite her into his own dark image. In the heat of the den, where the line between master and mate vanishes, Elara discovers a dangerous truth: the monster she feared is the only one who truly knows how to make her surrender. 6. The promise-He was the ghost of her past, the obsession of her present, and the only man who knew exactly how to make her surrender. Brandon Sterling didn't just walk back into Kate Anderson’s life—he claimed it. To the world, he’s an untouchable football legend. To Kate, he’s the boy who promised to keep her safe and the man who refuses to let her go. Fierce, obsessive, and undeniably dangerous, his love isn't just a devotion; it’s a sanctuary. Once he’s decided she’s his, he won't stop until he’s dismantled the world to keep her close. Some promises are made in whispers, but Brandon’s was made in blood—and he always keeps his word.

Charming, I think NOT
Updated at Apr 15, 2024, 13:50
A princess is supposed to be happy right? who can complain, when there are jewels, dresses, princes, and gifts galore? well, I can complain for the simple fact that they are idiots, the jewels and dresses are heavy and the gift are tacky! I mean what man in their right mind wants to climb a tower for a girl they've never met. What person with any sense of sanity wants to fight off dragons, trolls, and trained guards for a single kiss from a princess and the possibility to be bestowed marriage upon them? I'll tell you who, no one! then comes along the biggest idiot of them all, i mean really he takes the cake. He thinks he is so charming. HA, maybe cocky and arrogant! Charming, I think not!

Untamed
Updated at Apr 9, 2021, 15:16
Corvan black, Alpha of the moon wolves never had to fight for the affection of any girl let alone the taste of any she-wolf he’s wanted. Until Celine wood came along. She was his mate but he rejected her and craved her at the same time. He didn’t know what he wanted. He wanted her but she was the outcast and he let that influence his decision to reject her. Little did he know she was a lot smarter then he thought and much more desired then he thought. She will make him regret his decision but she will have so much fun doing it. Under major editing!!!
