What could possibly go wrong?

The oncoming of the mist was greatly awaited in Spiritfalls. The declaration that the Ball was neigh. This annual Masquerade was a historian's delight; Elites, Dresses, and Dancing. But beyond the exquisite drapes loomed lies, behind the ornate masks lay a warrior, underneath the warrior was an aching urge for revenge.

"What is it that you want from me? Huh?" He spat, raising his voice. There was a vein in his neck and he was turning red. I've never seen him this upset, I must've really hit a nerve. His lips were tight but they were so juicy and kissable. "I want you to tell me- and don't lie- tell me that you want to kiss me. Tell me that you want me and that you don't care about Damon's feelings like you claim. Show me, Isaiah. Show me that you don't care." I said the last part in a low tone and looked at him under my lashes. Isaiah opened his mouth slightly to say something, but nothing came out. His gaze was fixed on me with his bright hazel eyes without blinking. He was clenching his jaw as if his life depends on it. "You're playing a really dangerous game Kitten." He says, his voice low and raspy. He was trying to hold himself back. "You started it when you let me kiss you." I whispered seductively. "So let's play." ." ~ ~~~~ When Zariah's father sells her to the Mafia, she's feeling the ultimate betrayal. She's told to be wed to the Don, Damon, as a way to pay back her father's debts to the family. She's given a bodyguard, Isaiah, to look after her until her wedding day. Isaiah sparks something inside of her- something dark and driven. She can't stay away from him even though he's loyally sworn to the family and the family alone. She wants him and he wants her. As they say, Forbidden things has its charm.

Book #1 in Sinful Series RUDRANSHxAADHYA "Do you know what I do with traitors?" His voice was hard but shaky, like he was barely holding back his rage. I shook my head, fear gripping me as I tried to stay still. His lips twisted into a cruel smile, amusement mixed with malice. "I make them regret it," he whispered, his breath warm against my skin. The knife hovered near my throat. My heart raced, each beat echoing my terror. I didn't dare move or breathe as his eyes searched mine for any hint of defiance. "But since you're mine, and I can't hurt you," he continued, his voice calm despite the heat of his breath, "I'll go after the one who dared to touch what's mine. He won't see the next sunrise." Tears filled my eyes, and I shook my head. A cold chill ran through me as his tone turned deadly. "I'll make him suffer," he promised darkly. "He'll beg for mercy, but by the end, he'll wish he never even looked at you." His lips brushed mine as he whispered, sending dread coursing through me. "And when it's done, you'll know how far I'll go to protect what's mine." I looked into his eyes, the horror of what was coming sinking in. There was nothing I could do to stop him. The storm was coming, and it would leave only destruction behind. Join Rudransh and Aadhya on their rollercoaster ride, where betrayal and mistrust threaten to tear them apart at every turn. In a world where loyalty is fleeting and the line between love and hate blurs, they must navigate the dark shadows of their pasts and the dangerous forces that conspire against them.

Gianina thought her senior year would be filled with football games, late-night study sessions, and memories to carry her into the future. Instead, her small, quiet town is haunted by a killer in a red devil mask. Friends who once shared laughter and dreams are now suspects in a twisted game where trust is scarce, and survival is uncertain. As her closest friends begin falling one by one, Gianina finds herself caught between her loyal boyfriend Marcus, her childhood friend Rufus, her best friends Mary and Jordan, and their boyfriends Jamie and Cal, whose darkness runs deeper than she ever knew. With every new lead, Gianina questions the people closest to her, each glance and word laced with hidden motives. Her only goal: to end the bloodshed before everyone she loves is lost forever. But as secrets unravel, Gianina realizes she may be closer to the killer than she could have imagined. In a story where love, betrayal, and survival collide, she faces a terrifying question: can she outsmart a killer hiding in plain sight, or will she become the next victim in a silent, deadly masquerade?
