Livia dan Raka saling membenci sejak awal. Bagi Livia, Raka adalah pria yang membunuh ayahnya. Sedangkan bagi Raka, Livia hanyalah kelemahan berbahaya yang bisa menghancurkan kekuasaannya. Namun takdir memaksa mereka berada di bawah atap yang sama, bukan sebagai pasangan, melainkan sebagai tawanan dan pemilik. Tujuan hidup mereka berlawanan. Livia ingin bertahan hidup sambil menunggu kesempatan membalas dendam. Sementara Raka ingin menjaga Livia tetap hidup demi rahasia besar yang ia bawa, sekaligus menjadikannya umpan untuk musuh-musuhnya. Karena ancaman dari dunia luar, Raka menetapkan satu keputusan mutlak bahwa Livia harus tinggal di bawah perlindungannya selama waktu tertentu, mengikuti semua aturannya, dan tidak pernah keluar dari jangkauan pengawasannya. Selama hidup bersama, konflik tak terhindarkan. Pertengkaran, kebencian, dan ketegangan terus terjadi. Namun di balik itu, Livia mulai melihat sisi Raka yang tidak ia duga, berupa perlindungan tanpa pamrih, kemarahan yang muncul karena takut kehilangan, dan kesetiaan mematikan pada orang yang ia anggap miliknya. Tanpa disadari, kebencian mereka mulai goyah. Kehadiran satu sama lain menjadi candu yang berbahaya. Livia membenci dirinya sendiri karena merasa aman di sisi musuhnya, sementara Raka kehilangan kendali karena mulai mencintai wanita yang seharusnya hanya ia manfaatkan. Ketika kebenaran tentang kematian ayah Livia terungkap, perjanjian perlindungan itu harus berakhir. Livia diberi pilihan untuk pergi dan bebas. Raka dipaksa melepaskan satu-satunya hal yang mampu meluluhkan hatinya. Namun saat mereka berpisah dan menjalani hidup masing-masing, satu hal menjadi jelas, bahwa Dunia tanpa satu sama lain terasa jauh lebih kejam. Di tengah perang terakhir dan ancaman kematian, mereka memilih untuk saling mengejar... bukan sebagai musuh, bukan sebagai pemilik dan tawanan, melainkan sebagai dua orang yang memilih untuk tetap bersama, meski dunia menentang. Karena bagi mereka, cinta yang lahir dari kebencian mungkin berbahaya, akan tetapi kehilangannya jauh lebih mematikan.

I never meant to kiss him. It was a stupid mistake—a reckless moment fueled by too much adrenaline and the thrill of a party I should never have been at. But when my lips brushed against his, the world stopped. His hands gripped my waist, his breath tangled with mine, and for a fleeting second, I forgot who he was. Liam Blackwood. My stepbrother. The guy who had tormented me since the day our parents married. The brooding, tattooed bad boy with a reputation that made girls weak in the knees. I should have pulled away. I should have screamed. Instead, I let him deepen the kiss, let his touch set my skin on fire. Now, we’re trapped in a dangerous game of stolen glances, whispered threats, and undeniable chemistry. Every moment alone is a ticking bomb. Every brush of his fingers makes me crave something I can’t have. He’s forbidden. Off-limits. But the way he looks at me? The way he makes me feel? It’s only a matter of time before we cross the line again. And this time, there will be no turning back.

As far as arranged marriages went, theirs was the most arranged of all. She knew him as her hero—the only person who didn’t see him in the shadow of the man people feared. So, when it came time to end the war that spanned months, Vera Petrova became his only choice. As far as wars go, this was the silliest of all, and she had told them that many colorful words. Because it was silly, till it wasn't. Her freedom for the war to end. But what was she supposed to do, when the devil had her father doing exactly what he wanted? As far as bonds went, theirs was the deepest of all. So, when they fight wars together, grow together, hurt together, and end up falling for each other. It's only right for them to be together right?

She's my childhood friend. My favorite obsession. I wasn’t supposed to feel this way about her. She was meant to be off-limits, that I could treasure but never touch. But the more I watch her, the more I crave her. She’s mine, whether she realizes it or not. I’ll pull her into my world, wrap her in my obsession, until she’s as consumed by me as I am by her. And when that moment comes, when she finally sees me for who I am now, there’ll be no turning back. Because some obsessions aren’t meant to be fought, they’re meant to be fulfilled.

He pressed him against the door, breath hot, voice ragged. “If you don’t want this… tell me to stop.” A pause. A heartbeat. “I can’t.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some obsessions aren’t meant to be touched. Some men aren’t meant to be loved. And some desires don’t care. This collection isn’t about perfect love. It’s about the one you weren’t supposed to want— Another man. Your brother’s best friend. Your enemy’s son. Your professor. Your fake fiancé. The man who shouldn’t look at you like that. The man you can’t stop wanting. Every story is a man falling for another man when he shouldn’t—and doing it anyway. Fast-paced, emotionally sharp, and dangerously seductive, every story in Burnt Offerings dives headfirst into the hunger we deny, the rules we break, and the lovers we were warned to stay away from. Some affairs stay in the dark. Others start wildfires. This isn't a love story. It's all the ones you swore you’d never tell. All of them about men who should have walked away from each other… but didn’t.

“You’ve come to kill me detective?” He whispered against her skin as he gently grasped her arm and turned her to him. Jude swallowed a gulp and looked up at him. His eyes were a cobalt shade of blue behind the mask, daring, cold and terrifying. “And you’ve come to me to be killed?” She replied in a hushed tone, gathering a lot of nerve and taking a step closer to him. Detective Jude Laurent should arrest Cassien, the deadly Maestro who now controls The Black Rose syndicate. Instead, she finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, risking everything to uncover the truth about the organization that has haunted her since childhood. The same organization she believes holds the answers to her parents’ death in what everyone called a tragic house fire. But Jude has no idea she’s been walking straight into a trap years in the making. The real mastermind behind The Black Rose has been watching her every move, orchestrating her pain from the shadows. Someone who shaped her into the perfect weapon for revenge. And they’ve been waiting for this moment since the night her world burned. Now, as Jude hunts the man who’s becoming her obsession, and Cassien finds himself equally captivated by the detective who should be his enemy, neither realizes they’re both pawns in a much deadlier game. Because the person who destroyed Jude’s world isn’t the criminal she’s chasing. It’s someone far closer than she could ever imagine. And their final move is about to destroy everything she’s ever believed about her past, her purpose, and the man she can’t stop wanting. Some obsessions are worth dying for. Others are designed to kill you.

Il ne détourne pas le regard, et moi non plus. Pas quand ses mains parcourent mon corps. Pas quand il s'enfonce toujours plus profondément en moi. Chaud. Trop chaud. Incroyable. Absolument incroyable. Mon dos se cambre. Sa bouche se pose sur mon téton droit. C'est tout ce qu'il me faut. Je vais jouir.
