The Man They Buried

Mira Voss loved her husband. Not perfectly. Not blindly. But truly. Elias made her coffee too strong, stole the blankets, remembered every small thing she forgot, and promised they would grow old arguing about the same harmless habits. Then Elias dies unexpectedly. His body is identified. His family mourns him. On Tuesday, Mira watches the man she expected to spend her life with lowered into the ground. On Friday night, her phone rings. ELIAS. She answers. At first there is only breathing. Then the dead man says her name. Mira tells herself grief can make the mind cruel. But the calls return - never on schedule, never often enough to become normal. The voice remembers private jokes, unfinished conversations, the side of the bed she sleeps on, and secrets nobody else should know. Then one call tells her not to go home. Hours later, someone breaks into the house. As Mira investigates, the husband she thought she knew begins splitting into two men: Elias, the man who loved her, and Elias, the man with a second phone, hidden transfers, a locked storage unit, an unknown woman, and a file on someone who had supposedly been dead for years. Elias is not alive. But before he died, he prepared for death. And someone is still following his instructions. The most dangerous question is no longer who is pretending to be Elias. It is which calls Elias planned - and which ones came from someone else.New story · 0 savedOngoing

We Buried the Wrong Girl

ix years ago, June Calloway buried her twin sister, Wren, after a burned body was identified and laid to rest beneath Wren’s name. But when their dying mother demands the grave be opened, one impossible fact changes everything. The girl they buried was not Wren. Now June must uncover who is really in the grave, what happened the night Wren disappeared, and why some of Alder Hollow’s most powerful people worked so hard to make the investigation end. The deeper June digs with forensic genealogist Micah Reyes, the more the town’s old story begins to collapse. Hidden payments, altered records, buried evidence, and a terrified girl nobody bothered to identify all point toward the Ashford family and a secret that has survived for six years. But the most dangerous truth is also the one June wants most desperately to believe. Wren may never have died at all.New story · 0 savedOngoing

MY CLONE WANTS MY LIFE

Lena Cole wakes after six weeks in a coma expecting to return to the life she nearly lost. Instead, she finds a life that somehow continued without her. Her passwords have changed. Her apartment feels subtly wrong. There are photographs she doesn’t remember taking, messages she never sent, and people she loves acting as though something happened while she was unconscious that nobody wants to explain. Then, at 2:17 in the morning, Lena comes face-to-face with the impossible. A woman with her face. Her voice. Her childhood memories. Even her memories of loving Lena’s boyfriend. Her name is Eva. Created in secret by NeuVale, Eva was built from Lena’s biological material and reconstructed memories as part of an experimental project promising something humanity has always wanted—the ability to survive death by transferring a person’s identity into another body. NeuVale expected Eva to become a continuation of Lena. They never expected her to become someone else. Now Lena must fight to uncover why her accident happened, why pieces of her own memory are missing, and how much she unknowingly gave NeuVale before they decided consent no longer mattered. But the deeper she investigates, the more terrifying the truth becomes. Eva was conscious before Lena’s accident. There are others like her. And some of the richest people in the world are already preparing to buy another lifetime. As Lena and Eva fight the corporation that created their nightmare, they are forced to confront a question neither science nor law knows how to answer: If two women remember the same childhood, love the same family, and carry the same past… who gets to call that life theirs? And when Eva finally chooses a future that belongs only to her, Lena believes the worst is over. Until one last file is recovered. Dated three years before the accident. SUBJECT: LENA COLE REPLICATION ATTEMPT: 01 STATUS: SUCCESSFUL.New story · 0 savedOngoing

At Wrenhollow, there is one rule every student learns quickly: when the bell rings thirteen times, stay inside and pretend you heard nothing. Maren Cole did not come to the isolated boarding school to obey. Two years earlier, her sister Josie left Wrenhollow terrified, silent, and unable to explain what happened the night she nearly drowned. Now Maren has earned a place at the same school, determined to uncover the truth. But Wrenhollow protects its secrets carefully. Black feathers appear as warnings. Students disappear after midnight. A hidden society called the Wrens controls reputations, scholarships, families, and futures through a mysterious Book of Names. And Rhys Harrow, the powerful boy who keeps appearing whenever the tide turns dangerous, seems to know far more about Josie's past than he will admit.

They are enforced. And when Maren finally learns why Rhys was standing on the sandbar the night Josie almost died, the truth will change everything she thought she knew about him, the school, and the rule nobody has dared to break.New story · 0 savedOngoing

Dark RomanceHIS LOVE COMES WITH LOCKSDark Romance · Obsession

HIS LOVE COMES WITH LOCKS

Maren Ellis wakes at 2:17 a.m. in a stranger’s heavily guarded house with no memory of how she got there—and a bedroom door that refuses to open. Her first thought is simple. She has been kidnapped. Then she discovers the lock isn’t meant to keep her inside. It is meant to keep someone else out. Cillian Rook is everything Maren should run from: wealthy, ruthless, dangerously controlled, and far too interested in a woman he claims he barely knows. He watches everything. Remembers everything. Knows when she is lying, when she is frightened, and sometimes what she needs before she does. And when Maren demands to go home, Cillian gives her the one answer she hates most. “You can leave. I just can’t promise they won’t find you.” Because the attack that brought her into his house was no accident. Someone wants Maren silenced. Worse, Cillian may know why. As locked rooms begin opening and buried secrets connect Maren’s father to one of the most powerful families in the city, she discovers that Cillian’s obsession with protecting her began long before the night they supposedly met. Now Maren has to decide which frightens her more—the people hunting her, or the man willing to destroy anyone who touches her. Cillian calls it protection. Maren calls it control. But somewhere between forbidden doors, whispered threats, brutal jealousy, and the terrifying tenderness he shows only to her, the line between captivity and belonging begins to blur. Because Cillian Rook wants her. Desperately. Possessively. Enough to lock the entire world outside if that is what it takes to keep her safe. But if he truly loves her, he will eventually have to learn the one thing that terrifies him most: A woman who is free to leave can only become his if she chooses to stay.New story · 0 savedOngoing
