New Orleans isn't just a city-it's a pulse. A rhythm. A hunger. And nobody knows that better than Arielle Washington, a tired single mother grinding just to make rent in the Desire Projects. Love left her a long time ago, replaced with diaper bags, house keys, and survival. That is, until a new housekeeping job drops her into the home-and world-of ICE the most dangerous man in the streets.
ICE doesn't do mess. Doesn't do feelings. But there's something about Ari-her fire, her silence, her scars-that draws him in. And when business gets bloody and loyalties are tested, the line between protector and predator blurs. Because in the Dirty South, nothing comes clean... not even love.

Hurt Me Once, Shame On You| Stray Kids Fanfic
They broke her once. Betrayed her when she needed them most. And now? They want her back. Arielle Blackthorn never asked to be born half-vampire, half-human-an abomination in the eyes of the pureblood elite. Raised in the shadows of a cruel vampire court and hunted for a power she doesn't understand, Ari learned to trust no one... especially not the eight vampires who once swore to protect her. They were her bonded soul ties-eight dark princes bound to her by fate, by blood, by magic. But when the prophecy revealed what she truly was, they turned on her. Banished. Shattered. Broken. Ari disappeared. Five years later, she's back-stronger, colder, dangerous in ways the world hasn't begun to fear yet. She's not here to forgive. She's here to reclaim her power. But the soul tie still burns, and the bond that was meant to unite them for a higher purpose won't let her forget the past... or them. Bang Chan, the tortured leader haunted by guilt. Lee Know, the stoic assassin who flinched the day she bled. Changbin, the brute who didn't fight hard enough. Hyunjin, the beautiful liar who kissed her goodbye. Han, the chaotic genius who hid her secrets. Felix, the light she lost in the dark. Seungmin, the silent observer who never spoke for her. I.N, the youngest, whose betrayal cut deepest of all. They'll do anything to earn her forgiveness. But Ari? She didn't survive hell just to be their redemption. The soul bond wants healing. Fate wants war. And Arielle Blackthorn? She just wants them to suffer-slowly.

Secret Life of a Pornstar
Mia grew up knowing hunger, chaos, and the kind of love that disappears when you need it most. A hustler from the jump, she's been getting it out the mud for as long as she can remember. With a mother consumed by addiction and a father who drifts in and out, survival became Mia's responsibility early-especially when it came to protecting her younger sister, Olive. The moment she turned eighteen, Mia made a calculated move into the strip club, using her confidence, beauty, and instinct to keep the lights on. It pays the bills, but as she steps fully into her power and sexuality, she begins to crave more: more money, more control, more freedom. Drawn toward faster cash and riskier opportunities, Mia starts toeing the line between the strip club and the adult film world-where desire is currency and nothing comes without a price. This steamy, drama-filled tale follows Mia's rise through lust, loyalty, and survival, as she makes dangerous choices that will shape her future and pull her deeper into a life she may not be able to escape. Buckle up... this is only the beginning.
