FORBIDDEN LEGACY

Ziqi123
Xu Jilan remembers almost everything. From the age of three, her memories are clear and unbroken. But everything before that is gone along with any trace of her mother. That begins to change when she finds a strange locket. Foreign in design and unlike anything from her world, it holds an image far too real to be an ordinary painting. The face within feels familiar… and with it comes fragments of memories long buried. A gentle woman. A man with foreign features. A past she was never meant to remember. But before she can understand it, danger finds her. A single arrow draws her into a deadly fight not meant for her, where she meets a masked man wounded, powerful, and impossible to ignore. Their encounter is brief. But not meaningless. As secrets begin to surface, Xu Jilan is forced to face a question she can no longer avoid: Who is she really? And why was her past taken from her?

Love, Lust and Liars

Ropyr Woods has built her life on control, resilience, and reinvention. At twenty-eight, she’s no longer the heartbroken girl left behind in Honey Bell, South Carolina—she’s a thriving business owner with a reputation for strength and independence. Her relationship with Jeremy Lane is steady, safe, and everything her younger self once thought she needed to move on. With him, life is predictable. Manageable. Secure. Then Davis Lewis comes home. Once Honey Bell’s golden boy—and the boy who shattered her—Davis traded small-town love for the promise of a professional baseball career, leaving Ropyr to pick up the pieces alone. But when a career-ending injury forces him back into the very town he once couldn’t wait to escape, old memories don’t just resurface—they ignite. When Jeremy leaves town for a week to handle family matters in Colorado, Ropyr finds herself face-to-face with the past she never truly buried. Davis isn’t the same reckless dreamer who walked away years ago. He’s quieter now, haunted, carrying regrets he can’t outrun. And the chemistry between them? Still undeniable. Still dangerous. As long-buried truths begin to unravel, Ropyr is forced to confront the choices that shaped her life—and the lies she’s told herself to survive. Because love isn’t always loyal, lust isn’t always harmless, and the past has a way of rewriting everything you thought you knew. In a town where everyone knows your name—and your secrets—Ropyr must decide: hold on to the life she built… or risk everything for the love that once destroyed her.
