A billionaire racer loses control when the woman he never forgot walks back into his orbit. Deep in the woods of Silent Pines, two souls fight to survive a night that will mark them forever. A young bride learns that the husband she’s forced to wed harbors a hunger that mirrors her own. In a realm ruled by ancient gods, the Pumpkin King takes his mortal queen beneath the harvest moon. One night in a neon-lit city turns pleasure into punishment, leaving no one untouched. And in the quiet corners of Kyoto, love grows between duty and desire, fragile and forbidden. Each story balances danger with tenderness, secrets with surrender, power with passion. From modern worlds to mythic kingdoms, every touch asks the same question can love born in darkness ever find the light?
