I made a vow to protect her when we were just kids. First, from the monsters hiding under the bed and then the ones roaming the world freely. My obsession with Dove wasn't normal, it toed the line on psychotic, but my love for her overshadowed that. I'd killed, destroyed, and hurt those that had done her wrong. I'd watched her for years wanting to claim her but refusing to. I was both her guardian angel and a demon lurking in the shadows.She was mine, even though she didn't know it yet.I had planned to let her live her life while I watched from afar. Until one night, everything changes, and I'm forced to kidnap her. She doesn't remember me. She doesn't know me. She begs me to let her go. But I can't. I won't. There are things she doesn't know. Secrets I cannot tell her, but one thing is clear. I'll die before I ever let her slip through my fingers.

And I didn't care either.All I knew was that I had to have her...no matter the cost.One-million dollars later and she became just that.Mine to break.Mine to use.Mine to keep.We all have secrets, and when I discover hers, no one will be able to save her from me. *This is a complete standalone, 100k+ word novel.

Es war so schade, dass sie zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort war. Sie wusste, dass wir sie holen würden. Wir hatten ihr zartes Gesicht in jener Nacht gesehen - versteckt in den Schatten. Und sie hatte gesehen, was wir taten. Ihr Schreckensschrei hatte sie verraten.Sie war perfekt, schön und strahlte Güte aus. Aber das würde sie nicht vor uns retten. Niemand durfte jemals hinter unser Geheimnis kommen. Das bedeutete, dass wir sie loswerden mussten. Aber sie zu töten war keine Option. Und sie zum Schweigen zu bringen, war nicht so einfach, wie wir erwartet hatten. Sie war stark und klug. Sie tat alles, was sie konnte, um uns zu entkommen. Ohne es zu wissen, machte sie ein Spiel daraus, und so wurden wir zu blutdürstigen Wölfen.Lauf weg und wir werden dich finden. Bewahre unser Geheimnis und du wirst vielleicht überleben. Das heißt, bis jemand anderes herausfindet, was wir getan haben ...*Dies ist eine eigenständige DUNKLE Romanze. Dieses Buch enthält Szenen, die auf manche LeserInnen verstörend wirken könnten.

Man sagt, dass es immer eine Ruhe vor dem Sturm gibt. Eine Zeit, in der man sich in Sicherheit wähnt und vor der Zerstörung geschützt ist, von der man weiß, dass sie irgendwann kommen wird. Harper war diese Ruhe. Und ich? Ich war der verdammte Sturm. Als Kinder waren wir die besten Freunde. Sie war das Licht in meiner Dunkelheit. Früher habe ich sie vor ihren Tyrannen beschützt, jetzt bin ich der, den sie am meisten fürchtet. Sie nach drei Jahren zum ersten Mal wiederzusehen, war wie ein Eimer Eiswasser, der über mich gegossen wurde. Es kühlte mich bis auf die Knochen ab und machte mich irrational und wütend. Sie ist kein kleines Mädchen mehr, sondern eine erwachsene Frau mit Kurven und Augen, die meine schwarze Seele durchbohren. Niemand kennt die Dunkelheit, die sich unter der Oberfläche verbirgt. Alles, was sie sehen, ist mein Lächeln und mein charismatischer Charme. Ich bin der amerikanische Musterknabe. Sie wieder in meinem Leben zu haben, erweckt etwas in mir. Sie erinnert mich an alles Gute. An alles, was ich nie haben werde. Und ich weigere mich, sie hierbleiben zu lassen. Sie muss gehen und die einzige Person, die dunkel und schmutzig genug ist, um sie zu verscheuchen, bin ich ... Harper zu brechen ist nicht so einfach ... Ich dachte, ich wüsste alles, aber wie sich herausstellt, sind andere genauso gut darin, ihre Geheimnisse zu verbergen wie ich. Beschädigt, dunkel und vom Weg abgekommen. Werde ich sie brechen? Werde ich uns brechen? "Manchmal sind die gruseligsten Monster nicht die, die sich im Dunkeln verstecken. Manchmal sind es diejenigen, die sich direkt vor unseren Augen verstecken ... so wie ich." **Dies ist eine dunkle Tyrannen-Romanze, die eigenständig gelesen werden kann.

Vor zwei Jahren hat sie das Leben meiner Familie ruiniert. Vielleicht dachte sie, es sei nur eine kleine Lüge. Sie denkt wahrscheinlich auch, dass sie das Richtige getan hat, dass das Schlimmste hinter ihr liegt und dass niemand verletzt wurde. Oh, wie naiv diese schwarzhaarige Schönheit doch war. Das Schicksal hat sie schließlich zu mir zurückgebracht. Zur Blackthorn-Akademie. Einst war ich wie besessen und das Bedürfnis, sie mir zu eigen zu machen, verzehrte mich. Jetzt will ich nur noch Rache. Und ich werde alles tun, um sie zu bekommen. Die schöne, süße Willow erkennt noch nicht, welchen Fehler sie gemacht hat. Sie begreift nicht, dass sie die Höhle des Löwen betreten hat und ihrem Schicksal nicht mehr entkommen kann. Ich bin Parker Rothschild und ich werde ihr Albtraum, ihr Feind und ihr Tyrann sein. Wenn ich mit ihr fertig bin, wird sie mich um Vergebung anflehen und darum bitten, ihre Sünden zu beichten. **Dies ist eine dunkle Tyrannen-Romanze, die eigenständig gelesen werden kann.

She was perfect-Elegant, good, and humble. But that won't save her from us. Even hidden in the shadows, we saw her that night. Wrong place, wrong time, but nevertheless, she was there. She saw what we did and now she knows our secret. Only, it isn't hers to keep. Evading us with her wits, she doesn't know it, but she's turned this hunt into a game and we became blood thirsty wolves who don't like to lose. She'll keep running, and we'll keep finding her. Maybe if she keeps our secret, we'll let her live. That is until someone else finds out...

Harper was always the calm to my storm. She kept me level and steady. For years throughout our friendship, I even fought for her. Sticking up to her bullies and making it known she was untouchable. Slowly, our friendship morphed into more though. Then, she left me. Now, years later, she's back without an explanation thinking everything will be the same. Little does she know, when she left, that calm went with her. Now I'm the motherf**king storm that can't be tamed and I won't be showing her any compassion. I will break her the same way she broke me. No longer am I fighting her bullies. I am her bully. **This is a dark academia romance that is a complete standalone, and may contain material that might be triggering to some readers.**

It all started with one little lie. Maybe she thought she was doing the right thing. That the worst was behind her and no one had gotten hurt, but oh how naive the black haired beauty was.

She may not realize the mistake she's made yet, but now she's entered the lion's den and I plan to show no mercy. I'm Parker Rothschild and I plan to make her pay. I will be the nightmare she can't escape. I'll show her just how wrong she was, and make her regret ever breathing the lie she told.

Broken. Dead. Failure. That's what I felt every time I looked in the mirror. Depression. Sadness. Anger. That's what others saw if they were smart enough to see past my facade. Knowing what I felt inside, I would I have to agree. I was on a path of destruction. Some would I say I was my own downfall waiting to happen. A man drowning himself in alcohol and loose women. That's what I had become. After all, that's all I was good for. Until Alzerro King f*cked up my day. One sentence completely altered my world. Hiding someone while working with the FBI was the last thing I wanted to do. Then I meet her. Isabella Vincenzo. Hurt. Beat. Fragile. I wasn't a victim. I wasn't prey to the monsters that lurked in the dark- at least that's what I told myself. Trouble had found me, I was sold to the mafia by my family. I was now property of the drug cartel ran by the Russian Mafia, and to be sold to the highest bidder. What happened was never to be expected. Somewhere in the middle of the USA I'm being kept. Hidden. Held against my will from the monsters.... Little did I know, I traded one monster for another. Will Jared and Isabella save each other or will the murkiness that has tainted their lives pull them deeper into the darkness? Sometimes all we need is someone else to be our light in the moments of complete darkness. Sometimes love can smother the injustice.

A love story that can only end in tragedy... She was never part of the plan. She was never to become anything. She was simply a payment, and once the debt was settled, she would be nothing to me. She thought her life had changed in a blink of an eye the moment she came home to see her father strapped to a chair, a gun being held to his head. It was my life that changed that day, not hers. The blood of my enemy ran through her veins, and no matter how much she wanted to save me, she never would have. I am a monster. I can't be saved. I would consume the world in a blaze of fire before my need for vengeance was ever fulfilled. They say the truth will set you free... I thought she had betrayed me in ways I never expected, but in the end, it was I who had committed the ultimate betrayal. Doubts ruin, truths hurt, and just one lie can destroy an entire army. If being the king has taught me anything, it's that everyone desires the truth, but no one wants to be honest. The monster inside of me has been set free, and I will stop at nothing to destroy my enemies. I am a living, breathing, killing machine... This war has just begun.

Trust- The firm belief in the reliability, honesty, ability, and strength of someone or something. I let every wall I had built around my heart crumble to the ground for him. He told me to trust him, and I did. I never thought that trusting someone would be my biggest downfall. I listened to his promises and thought I could believe him.

I knocked her up and then walked out on her. It's better this way. I'm fucked up, lost, and no good for her or our baby. The pain is unbearable without her, but she deserves better...

He was bold, intoxicating, and held a darkness that pulled at my heart-strings. I wanted him from the very first moment I saw him across the dance floor at the club.

We had already crossed a dangerous line that there was no coming back from. We were on the run. From who I didn't know, but he told me it would all be okay. That he would do whatever he could to protect me from the people that were hunting us. What I failed to see was that the monster had always been right within grabbing distance. Now that I was apart of his world, his life, and hopefully his heart could I survive the carnage that was about to take place? The ties that binded us, were also the ties that would end us. I loved him, and now all that was left for me was death.
