Introduction
"I want in Adam." She spoke with sudden determination. Talking about her past made her realize how deep down it was actually pulling her instead and all she wanted to do was untie the anchor wrapped around her ankle and be set fully free from it.
Adam pulled back more to look at his wife's face with a dumbfounded expression.
"What?"
"I want in Adam. I want to be a part of this investigation." She repeated.
A serial killer is on the loose and no one knows how to stop him. The police have been running around in empty circles for the past 3 months with not a single clue to hold.
When ex- criminal profiler, Collette Woods, comes across the case file that was on her husband's desk, she was the first one to be able to find a lead.
But that wasn't one of her usual cases as that lead to home and the resurfacing of nightmares Collette tried so hard to bury.
When the killer turns out to be the one who killed her father seventeen years ago and has started killing again now, she knows that the killer is someone with a purpose and it was up to her, her husband being the lead detective, and his team to stop the killings, even though the killer saved her life seventeen years ago.
A ghost, an ex-profiler with a heavy past, a homocide detective and a team. How would things play out?

Chapter 1
I'm an oblivion.
A lost remembrance.
Locked away in a place where no man would dare live. Where no light rays could be seen and nothing seems to be alive.
I'm a lost soul. A memory long forgotten. But more importantly, I'm a curse.
A curse they're bound to accept.
Swimming around in the very back. Hiding. Waiting. And it's about time I came back to life.
I puffed out air as I waited patiently behind a tree. Hiding in the shadows as I concentrated on my prey. My heart bumped blood at a fastened pace, my body preparing itself in anticipation of what to come.
This wasn't my first time, yet every time is as exciting and thrilling as the first. The adrenaline rushed through my vessels, pumping me with electricity like an engine coming to life and I rubbed my hands together as I waited.
My eyes remained fixated on the house in front of me. Its lights dim and its air dead. It felt like déjà vu. The scenery was always the same.
And then, the all too familiar screams started. My body was itching to make a move. To do something to stop those screams but my logical side kept me at bay for if I made a single small mistake, it will all be over and I would fail my mission.
So I shut my eyes and tried my best to deafen out the screams and pleas of help so that I don't lose control. And as soon they came, they stopped. Or at least I think this time was shorter.
My eyes opened immediately as the screams stopped and only then did I allow my anger to supply me with the determination and strength that I needed.
I watched with hawk eyes as he opened his house door, leaving behind a hopeless, dark, scary environment. I straightened up my posture like a cheetah readying itself to attack.
I watched as the perpetrator in question walked down the paved road towards his truck, and I knew that it was my time to shine.
With careful steps, I paced towards him from behind and once he opened his car door, my cloth covered hand went straight to his face covering his mouth and nose effectively.
He struggled against my hold but these puny creature had nothing to compete with against me. Their fragile bodies and lack of any muscle strength made my job easier every time and I knew that the chloroform was having its effect when his struggles started dying out, his body falling limp in front of me. I quickly pushed him inside the back seat of the trunk before anyone saw us. It was to my advantage that these men chose to move out from their homes to more secluded areas.
Sinners.
Their stupidity lead them to me.
As stealthily as I entered, I left. I've been doing this for quite some time know, making me an expert in my field. But unlike the others, I had a cause. A purpose. And I executed efficiently.

Love's Deadly Equation

⬥ Keegan ⬥
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.

Trapped in a story where fate has already decided the ending, Morwenna must choose whether to follow the script or rewrite it entirely. But if the world itself was never meant to belong to its characters, can she steal the male lead before fate steals her freedom first?

The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess

Taryn Rourke came to Sturgis for freedom, noise, bad decisions, and a few days away from the rules that have followed her all her life.
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

"Eyes up here," he said.
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?

He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.

The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
