Dark Romance Romance Web Novels & Slave Hate to Love Stories

When Rose Norman comes face-to-face with Drake Machorace, she recognizes the ruthless billionaire she once humiliated at a club. She had confronted him without fear and splashed a drink across his face, only for hungry bloggers to twist the encounter into a sex scandal that nearly cost Drake his reputation, deals, and brands. She thought she had left that night behind...until her sick father can no longer work as Drake’s butler, forcing Rose to take his shifts at the billionaire’s mansion. Now Drake knows exactly who she is. Determined to make Rose pay, he claims her time and keeps her under his rules, while Rose secretly waits for the day she can finally walk away and have her revenge. But the longer they remain trapped in their twisted game of revenge, the harder it becomes to deny the attraction between them. He wants to make her suffer. She wants to make him regret it. Neither expects to fall for the one person they were supposed to destroy.

⚠️ WARNING 18+ content In the brutal empire of Noxus, Vespera Vance is a ghost. To the royal court, she is merely a silent, masked servant, a worthless "null" born without magic. They don't know her true name. They don't know she is the last surviving heir of the slaughtered Shadow Dynasty. Above all, they don't know that King Malakor Drakos, the ruthless, ice-cold tyrant sitting on the Obsidian Throne, is the very man who executed her father in cold blood. Vespera lives for one purpose: Vengeance. Her opportunity arrives in blood and fire. King Malakor suffers from a dark, rotting shadow-curse that decays his flesh and drives him to near madness. During a chaotic attempt on his life, Vespera is forced to make physical contact with the king. She expects her lethal bare skin to drain him dead. Instead, her secret Void Touch drinks the decaying shadow magic right out of his veins. For the first time in ten years, the terrifying Death King feels absolute, breathless relief. And a dark, ravenous, uncontrollable heat. Captured and dragged into his private fortress, Vespera is bound to Malakor by a secret contract. By day, she is his captive shadow. By night, she is forced into his bedchamber, her bare skin pressed against his, absorbing his curse to keep him sane. It is the perfect trap. She is close enough to slide a dagger into his heart. The problem? Every skin-on-skin touch ignites a primal, overwhelming fire between them that neither can control. Her body betrays her hatred, craving the monster who destroyed her world. As the line between strategic seduction and raw, explosive obsession disintegrates, Vespera faces an agonizing choice: Avenge her father’s blood... or surrender to the tyrant who would burn the entire realm to keep her in his bed.
