Bound To The Billionaire

Bound To The Billionaire

AVA It had been days since we returned from that cursed vacation. The villa was supposed to be a retreat, a place to unwind and reconnect, but it had nearly been our end. I could still feel the icy water swallowing me, the terror of sinking deeper, my lungs screaming for air. Every night, I jolted awake, heart pounding, the drowning feeling pulling me back into that nightmare. And every night, Liam was there—his arms strong around me, his voice a soothing lull, whispering, “I’ve got you. You’re safe. We’re safe.”

Alpha Carter’s Cursed Mate

"See I-" The door to the basement room slammed open as the stairs creaked under the weight of the monster slowly descending. Her vision abruptly shifted, and Thalia felt cold and wet. She was drowning in murky water. She tried to drag her tiny body up as she flailed her arms, screaming 'Dad' over and over again. Every time she opened her mouth, water would rush in only to push her closer to the hands of death. She was shouting for help, trying desperately to claw her way out of the river. She was drowning. In the cold water, she could feel the icy cold fingers of death wrap their claws around her heart, her body was aching, and she was going to die. Any moment now, she would be breathing her

Irresistible Temptations

Irresistible Temptations

As he was falling backwards, he grabbed both my wrists, pulling me into the wild and deep water with him. The freezing coldness stung my limbs, almost paralyzing me. Due to the sudden shock, I even forgot to close my mouth and swallowed a huge gulp of the icy liquid. He held me under the surface, and I did the only thing I could when being drowned by someone. I kicked him furiously wherever I could. Eventually, he loosened his grip on me. My head emerged from the water for a second or two, just enough to take a lungful of air before the mad current dragged me back to its depths. I knew how to swim but this was beyond my skills. Somersaulting and hitting stones and branches, I quickly lost th

Awakened For Sin

Awakened For Sin

His gaze dropped to my bare legs again, just for a second, then snapped back up like it pissed him off that he’d looked. “Showering is high risk,” he said. “You slip, you hit your head, you pass out. You drown.” His throat worked. “You don’t have the same reserves you think you do right now.” Drown. The word drown hit somewhere low in my chest. I swallowed. “I didn’t drown,” I said lightly. “Remember? No longer a brain-dead vegetable. Bounced right back.” “That isn’t funny.” “Didn’t say it was.” The silence stretched, thick and charged.

The Alpha’s Disgraced Mate

The Alpha’s Disgraced Mate

A whimper starts in my chest and makes its way up. My fingers are somehow in his hair, running through the short carpet of thick hair. My hand is fluttering over his body, trying to feel as much of him as I can at once. This is what drowning must feel like. I want to sink far beneath the sea and never come back up.

I Saw You

I Saw You

With hands near my lips, I gasped. “L-Lulu...” I mouthed but no sound escaped my lips. A squeal choked out of my lungs. I flapped my hands on the water surface. Tendrils-like fingers wrapped both of my ankle pulling me down the water. I looked at my feet and saw Kate’s hands pulling me, drowning me. I swam back up and flapped my hands again on the surface to fight off the force. Water was forced in my esophagus as I gasp for air. I kicked my legs to keep my head out of the water. An idea hit me. I kicked the hand on my other ankle until it was forced to let my foot go. I did the same thing to the other side.

Mated To My Promised Alpha

Mated To My Promised Alpha

As I snort watching him submerge in the water. I giggle shamelessly as he thrashes about, standing up and holding his hand out towards me. “Oh no, I know what that means. I’m not going in there!” I taunt as he gives me another drool worthy smile, looking even better all wet, if that is even possible to believe.

Frequently Asked Questions

'Drown' sparks controversy primarily due to its raw, unfiltered portrayal of immigrant struggles and masculinity. The author doesn’t romanticize the immigrant experience—instead, it’s gritty, often bleak, with characters grappling with poverty, identity crises, and fractured families. Some readers accuse it of perpetuating stereotypes about Dominican communities, while others praise its honesty. The explicit language and sexual content unsettle conservative audiences, but it’s precisely this brutality that makes it resonate. It’s a mirror reflecting uncomfortable truths, not a sanitized fairy tale.

Another layer is its fragmented narrative style. Traditionalists argue it’s disjointed, but supporters see genius in how the non-linear structure mirrors the chaos of displacement. The book’s ambiguity—especially around queerness and violence—fuels debates. Is it a critique of toxic masculinity or complicit in it? 'Drown' refuses to give easy answers, and that’s why it polarizes.
