Dominant Hero

His bachelor party was supposed to end with a lavish surprise from his friends—a night with an expensive escort. Only… he knocked on the wrong door. And found me instead. We were never meant to meet, but fate doesn’t ask for permission. Now, this man haunts my thoughts, my dreams… and has taken root in my heart. He became my paradise—sweet, irresistible, and completely forbidden. Because he belongs to another…

My name is Sarah Martin. I'm an ordinary eighteen-year-old girl who is isolated from society for extraordinary reasons. Along with me, one thousand and twenty-six people live by the rules and laws of a deranged killer, observing the curfew. However, the residents of West Side get away with a lot, and something tells me these former prisoners maintain contact with the outside world.

Jack Belken is the heir to one of the four leaders of the Black Circle, the bloodiest criminal organization of the last century. When his father is murdered, he must take his place within the organization. To end the war that has been claiming innocent lives for years, he joins forces with the other three members of the Black Circle. However, an unexpected twist places an innocent woman in his path, whom he must protect. Issy Miller is a naive girl forced to work as a stripper to pay off the debts of her father, a man addicted to gambling. Without knowing it, she ends up in the middle of a mafia war where her life is in danger. Only one man can save her, but obtaining the protection of someone so lethal and dangerous is like handing your head to your executioner.

— You’re fired, — his voice cuts through the air. — And not just fired. With the kind of reference I’ll give you, you’ll be lucky to land a job as a street cleanerю. He turns and walks away. I freeze. My insides go cold. — No! — I jump up from my knees and run after him. — Mr. Anton Oleksandrovych, please don’t fire me! I’ll do anything! Anything—just don’t let me go! I cling to the sleeve of his shirt, stretched over his strong frame. He stops, frowns, and mutters: — Anything? His gaze drops slowly over my body, unsettling. Intense. — Anything at all? I nod desperately. I mixed up the gift bags… and instead of a proper present, my boss handed his business partner a sex toy. From an actual adult store.

— Cat got your tongue? — his burning gaze lingers on my lips. — What happened? The other day you were yelling so loudly, half the city heard you. And now you’re quiet... He smirks. — This is your fault! — I manage to snap, forcing courage into my voice. — I was just crossing the street, and you— — And what about me? His right hand drops to my thigh, lifting the hem of my skirt just slightly. — You should’ve stepped out of your car and apologized instead of insulting me, — I protest, my breath hitching as his hand slides higher. It’s already halfway up my thigh. — Excuses won’t save you, — he murmurs, his eyes locking with mine as his grip tightens. — One way or another, that thing you drew on my hood... will end up between your lips.

Open the door. I want to get out!“ I say. ”No!“ he says. ”Alex, I want to get out! Open the door, please!“ I repeat. ”Son, it won't help you," he says and starts the engine. I'll take you home. I roll my eyes, take a deep breath, and tell him the address of the neighboring house. “That kiss didn't mean anything!” I blurt out as we drive. “You caught me off guard, and I couldn't-” “Resist?” he finishes for me. I open my mouth to tell him to go to hell and then close it. What good will it do me? Alex is not going to stop me anyway. He sees right through me because he's experienced in these things, and I've never been kissed properly. I can say that it was my first real adult kiss.

Karina, a successful career woman, is used to having every aspect of her life under control. But when she meets the mysterious and irresistibly charming Arthur, her carefully built world begins to unravel. Their relationship escalates quickly, drawing her into a whirlwind of passion and emotional dependence. Yet beneath the surface, something feels wrong. Karina finds herself losing control—of her feelings, her choices, even her health. Strange symptoms begin to plague her, and no doctor can explain what’s happening. As fear sets in, she starts to wonder: is this just an illness… or something far more terrifying?

She dreamed of experiencing true, all-consuming love. And she did... And then he trampled on that love, mutilated and shattered it... Who can bring back the fire of life in her soul? Perhaps only the one who once cruelly extinguished it...

She was running from her past. He — never let go of his. When Yesenia found herself under a stranger’s roof, she did not yet know that the greatest danger was not the outside world, but those who could see straight through her. Mano never asks questions. But his silence is a mirror where hiding is impossible. Every glance, every quiet presence of his is a challenge — one almost impossible to resist. A dark tale of a love stronger than fear. A story of two souls slowly, inexorably orbiting each other — until it becomes too late to escape.

It all starts with a party. Another night, another shift, just routine for Felicia, a waitress used to blending into the background. But after that night, the shadows seem to follow her, and stepping outside feels… wrong. A chance encounter pulls her into a world where regret is a weakness and monsters don’t always hide their teeth. “So… is this your usual thing? Kidnapping unconscious girls?” “Let me think,” he said, furrowing his brow. “You’re number ten tonight. I’m falling behind. Need two more.” His voice dripped with mock despair, and as he sighed and looked away, it was as if her fear didn’t even register.
