Bulletproof Vows and Sleeping Venom
By @john1208
Vessia Morzenco expects a bullet when her treacherous family offers her to the underworld’s most feared kingpin beside her uncle's deathbed to settle their blood debt. After all, she slapped Kavrik Vossen the first time they met. Instead, she receives a diamond ring and the keys to his fortress. Determined to protect her little brother Pavka, Vessia refuses to cower, weaponizing her sharp tongue and shockingly befriending Kavrik's terrifying, battle-scarred bodyguards. But there is a haunting, bittersweet distance to her new husband's absolute devotion. When an assassin’s sniper bullet shatters their bedroom window, Vessia realizes Kavrik isn't just shielding her - he is burning down the city’s underworld to keep her safe. What Vessia doesn't know is the real reason behind his ruthless crusade. Her family secretly infected her with a fatal, slow-acting toxin before trading her away. The marriage is Kavrik’s desperate cover to keep her close while he hunts the cure. With a hidden time limit ticking closer to zero, can Kavrik destroy the rival syndicates hunting them before time runs out for the woman he secretly loves?

The Midnight Heir
By @john1208
Danica Morvath’s pride is as fragile and sharp as the centuries-old glass her family creates. To save the ancestral Morvath Atelier from being sold to developers, she strikes a desperate midnight deal with Julian Kestner, the city’s coldest industrial magnate. The terms slide across the marble table: live in his secluded penthouse, carry his heir, and leave the moment the child is born. But the sprawling fortress soon feels like a velvet trap. Forced into agonizing proximity, Julian’s icy demeanor violently shifts. Soon, he is ripping the steel shutters off a closed bakery at 3 AM just to satisfy her craving for cherry pastries, treating her diet and sleep as matters of national security. Danica tries to protect her heart from the bittersweet, unspoken tension between them, convinced she is nothing but a temporary incubator. But she completely misunderstood the rules of her own contract. Julian doesn't just want a child - he needs her. As an obsessed ex-boyfriend returns to stalk her, Julian's protective instincts reach terrifying heights. If her temporary contract was a lie, what is Julian's true endgame?
