I married the perfect husband. Gentle. Kind. Reliable. But completely unable to satisfy me. For five years I told myself it was enough… until the day I discovered he and my best friend had been betraying me all along. Their son even called him Daddy.

He’s the first man who has ever made me feel truly wanted, and the more I try to stop, the harder it becomes to stay away. The risk grows higher every time. The lies stack up.

Before They Choose  - Romance novels & stories
Rita Pearl
In Calder City, no one falls in love before twenty-one. That's the law. Not written in cruelty — written in *wisdom*, the Matchers say. Grow first. Learn who you are. Trust the Institution to find who you're meant to become, and on your twenty-first birthday, they'll hand you a name and a lifetime, ninety-four percent guaranteed. Wren Callahan has already broken the rule. She broke it at fifteen, the day Theo Ferrow made her laugh so hard she forgot to be careful. She's been breaking it every stolen night since — on a rooftop no Matcher knows about, behind a door that doesn't lock, whispering two words that have become the only vow that matters to either of them: *always you.* Then a lantern finds them where it shouldn't. Now Wren has three years before her Assessment — three years to bury the truth so deep no Matcher's hands can find it, three years to keep loving a boy the whole city has decided she isn't allowed to want. One mistake, and they're both cast out to become the next whispered warning told to seven-year-olds at Rites. So Wren does the one thing no one expects. She applies to become a Matcher herself — to learn the Institution's every rule, every ledger, every crack in two hundred years of "perfect" compatibility — so that when her name is called in the Hall, it isn't a stranger's hand that decides her fate. It's hers. Because Wren isn't waiting to find out who they think she belongs with. She already knows. And she's not letting a ledger tell her otherwise — not without a fight, not without breaking every rule this city has left. Always him. Always has been.

Forbidden never felt this good  - Romance novels & stories
B.Bella
I know I shouldn’t want him. Or them. There’s my best friend’s father, whose low, velvety voice makes my pulse stutter whenever he speaks. My stepbrother, whose accidental touches make my skin burn with unspoken tension. And my sister’s mate, whose cold, lingering gaze betrays a hunger I shouldn’t see. Every glance, every brush of skin, drags me deeper into temptation. Every heartbeat reminds me that wanting them is dangerous, forbidden… and maybe reckless. I’m caught between loyalty, morality, and desire, and every moment I give in only makes the fire stronger. Some lines aren’t meant to be crossed. Some fires are impossible to resist. And I’m learning the hard way… forbidden has never felt this good.

Bella Moondragon
I feel his eyes on me, staring through the darkness—darkness as black as his soul. As the fiancée of a rich state senator, I should be living the easy life, but that’s not how it is for me. My mother’s sick with cancer, my fiancé smells like women’s perfume, and I’m not sure he even loves me. When I start to sense someone watching me, I should be terrified. Instead, I’m electrified. Kidnapped, held in a small room, but not tortured, I’m given a chance to study this man behind the mask. He’s intriguing in ways he shouldn’t be. He excites me in places I’ve never felt before. Should I give into the enticement and taste his sin? Or try to return to my regular life with a man I cannot trust who probably doesn’t care about me at all? It’s tempting—that’s for damn sure. Tempted by Sin is a steamy dark stalker romance that might be triggering to some. You won’t want to miss the shocking twist at the end!
