Mariam, a woman whose life is defined by her deeply religious upbringing, where desire was seen as shameful and forbidden, begins to unravel when a masked stranger discovers her secret desires and exploits them.
Her life with James, her possessive and emotionally distant husband, is already strained.
The blackmailer slowly draws Mariam into s****l submission, compelling her to perform erotic and humiliating tasks.
Mariam is terrified, yet deeply aroused. She obeys—not out of love or loyalty, but because something inside her has been craving this, a truth she cannot escape.
Her body begins betraying her beliefs. As her marriage begins to crumble, a shocking twist unfolds: the blackmailer doesn't just want control—he wants her completely, and there is no part of her life that isn't watched.

She is not a Beta. She is a harbinger of ruin.
​The pack led by High Alpha Dorian Volcan is a fortress of power and tradition. Yet, even within its walls, the greatest threats often wait in silence. Serra lives deep within the pack's hierarchy, disguised as a fearful, unremarkable assistant. Her truth, however, is that of a banished lineage—the last of the Red Alphas—and her entire existence is devoted to concealing the power behind her brittle facade.
​Serra’s objective was simple: Discover Dorian’s ultimate secret and orchestrate his downfall.
​But in the shadowed corridors of the grand library, Dorian’s lava-eyed gaze and his scent of oppressive rosemary begin to crack Serra’s mask. Dorian senses she is no simple lie; she is a dangerous contradiction.
​Yet, Dorian, too, carries a hidden burden. While Serra sought weakness, she instead finds a catastrophic threat lurking beneath his dominant veneer. This discovery does not save her from the crosshairs; it thrusts her directly into the epicenter of his danger.
​Now, these two adversaries are bound in a perilous engagement, playing the role of destined mates. Every touch is an interrogation, and every whisper is a lethal strike.
​The rule is absolute: If this fragile mask of an alliance falls, either Dorian’s terrible secret will shatter the pack, or Serra’s quest for vengeance will become her own tragic end.
​In this deadly game between the one who conceals power and the one who restrains it, whose mask will break first, and whose heart will follow?

“You could trust me.”

Her eyes lifted to his.

“I already do,” she whispered.

A crime. A love from the past. A woman torn between guilt and the truth.

Fernanda seems to live a perfect life: she is the wife of a powerful real estate mogul. But when he is brutally murdered, she becomes the prime suspect.

The detective assigned to the case?
Hermes—her unforgettable, passionate love from the past.

They once shared an intense romance that neither could forget. But fate tore them apart. Now, they meet again under the shadow of a crime with dark motives and buried secrets.

Is Fernanda a cold-blooded killer, capable of eliminating her own husband?
Or is she the victim of a cruel conspiracy?

Amid twists, long-hidden truths, and desires that never died, Hermes will have to face both his feelings—and the truth.

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith—the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room—Manhattan's most exclusive masked club—she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

She was thrown away like trash. They never expected her to come back as their doom.
Ten years of servitude. Ten years of abuse. When the Thomas family found their biological daughter, they tossed Evelyn out like garbage—back to the "poor mountain village" they assumed she came from.
They couldn't have been more wrong.
The black Rolls-Royce waiting outside wasn't a rental. The mansion in the mountains wasn't a fantasy. And the "poor parents" she'd been forced to find? They turned out to be the Taylor family—one of the four shadow dynasties that rule the country from behind the curtain.
But Evelyn isn't just a lost heiress reclaiming her throne.
She's Phoenix, the legendary surgeon who operates on presidents.
She's Valencia, the phantom composer whose music billionaires chase.
She's the ghostwriter behind blockbuster films, the strategist who turns bankrupt pharmaceutical companies into empires overnight.
And she's done being underestimated.
When her former fiancé—the cold, proud William Brown—discovers the girl he discarded is the very genius he's been obsessed with for years, the chase begins. But Evelyn has already buried her heart under too many scars. He'll have to bleed to earn her trust.
"You wanted me gone," she tells the family who starved her. "Congratulations. You got your wish. Now watch me rise where you can't reach."
A slow-burn romance where the heroine saves herself—and maybe, just maybe, lets one man prove he's worth keeping.

"Be my woman and warm my bed," he said, with a smirk.
"And you must follow the terms."
The terms: no pregnancy, always remind him to use protection, constant permission for even the simplest things—even visits to her sick mom—and never denying him intimacy.
Sophie Thompson should have walked away. She should have told him where to shove his suffocating terms.
But when her mother's life hangs in the balance, Sophie signs away her freedom to the masked billionaire whose kiss feels like sin and whose touch makes her tremble. She thought it would be just a deal. She thought she could survive his world of wealth and power.
She was wrong.
Because Julian has secrets buried in darkness, an ex-fiancée who wants him back, and a past that could destroy them both.
And when Sophie breaks the one rule she never meant to—falling for him—she'll learn the deadly truth that hides behind the billionaire's mask.

In a dystopian America in the year 2040, women have been stripped of their rights and forced into subservience under the draconian Liberty Control Act. The nation is a surveillance state, cloaked in the illusion of order and morality—but beneath the surface, rebellion simmers.

When Daniel’s identity is exposed, and she narrowly survives Trevor’s brutal attack, her world shatters. But from the ashes, a new purpose rises. With Eric's help, Daniel steps into the heart of an underground resistance. As she uncovers horrifying government secrets and learns the truth about Eric’s past, Daniel becomes the reluctant face of a revolution.

Blending dystopian tension, high-heat romance, and emotional resilience, The Mask of Liberty follows one woman’s journey from survival to leadership, as she ignites a movement that could bring an empire to its knees.

She is Shakeera Alcantara, 24 years old and single. Kind and a good child, hard working, nothing can be done just for the family. Time tested her resilience, it's a matter of life and death. Her sister, even if she needs to clings into the knife, she will do just to save her. So without hesitation she entered into a secret world, where there was an ongoing trade of females. An underground organization where the patrons are not casual. If you have millions then you're in.

But it left her with a memory that she never regretted.

Will she recognize THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK?

James Arch Smith, the CEO, the Boss of the company where she works at. Is he related to him?

But when the Alpha’s rebellious daughter forces her into a dangerous game of deception, Ella is thrust into a world where one slip could destroy her. At the academy, she wears Lyra’s name, Lyra’s face, yet inside, she trembles with every step.

And then there’s Alex. The dark, commanding Alpha who has sworn to avenge his family’s blood. He believes Ella is Lyra—the daughter of the man he hates most. Every look he gives her is sharp, and every moment between them drags her mask closer to shattering.

She is caught in a lie.
He is bound by vengeance.
And when hatred tangles with desire, secrets can be deadlier than any blade.

“You have no idea what you do to me,” he rasped, his voice rough with restraint.
“Then don’t hold back,” she whispered. “Not tonight.”
And he didn’t. Damon trailed kisses from her neck to her waist
His hands roaming her body like a canvas waiting for the stroke of his fingers, he worshiped her whole.
Lila moaned his name, her fingers scratching his back as she pulled him closer wanting him to consume her raw.
Damon's hands moved downwards groping her skin all the way down to her core causing Lila to release little gasps
His fingers played with her special place like a Potter caressing his vase.
He kissed her
"You are my ecstasy, I want you inside me, honey" Lila whispered in his ear.
Damon's eyes changed instantly, his wolf at the fore, she felt his length as he pressed against her still hidden in his clothes.
She tore at it ,Damon taking it off piece by piece, keeping his stare fixated on her...

A stray wolf tore open Elias's stomach, his intestines spilling out, blood staining the forest floor crimson… Damon watched helplessly as his dearest friend Elias died in his arms. From that moment on, Damon closed himself off; a part of him died.

But as a young Alpha of the Moonshade Wolf Pack, he was forced to mate with a stranger named Lila to produce an heir for the pack. Damon loathed this proposal and decided to rebel.

To his bewilderment, the moment he saw Lila, his throat tightened, a surge of heat welled up within him, and an intense desire to mate with her burned like a raging fire within him, consuming him from the inside out. He felt he might be going mad; how could he possibly crave a stranger like this?!

Mayzie didn't belong at Ravenfield University. She knew it the second she walked past the designer bags and diamond chokers. A charity scholarship girl in a sea of old-money heirs, she survives on ramen, secondhand jeans, and a quiet promise to never let the bullies win.

Then Dalton —heir to a fortune and king of cold stares—decides he wants her. Not with flowers or sweet words, but with a monthly allowance and a closet full of couture. “Everyone's for sale,” he tells her.

Mayzie's answer? A fist to his face.

But Dalton isn't the only one watching. There's Arking, the brooding twin with kind eyes and a leather jacket, who actually sees her. And Ariel, his mirror image, whose kisses feel like a game she doesn't know the rules to. Between dodging fake snakes in her locker, working double shifts at a café, and trying to keep her best friend Bellatrix from falling for the wrong rich boy, Mayzie has one rule: never owe anyone anything.

Except the rich don't take no for an answer. And the more she fights, the more they want her. Now she has to decide: stay in her shadows—or let someone in who might just be worth the risk.

Ember had always been the underdog, the one everyone at the werewolf academy loved to pick on. They saw her as weak, a failure because she hadn't found a mate and her skills were… well, let's just say they needed work. Then there was Pete, her friend, who offered her a way out: a secret mating, a chance to finally belong. On the night of the ceremony, though, everything crumbled. She didn't love Pete.

With nowhere else to go, Ember returned to the academy, back to the taunts and the jeers. But something had changed. The taste of Carin's touch, the memory of his gaze, lingered. She was a wolf in a world of wolves, but her heart now belonged to a vampire. How could she ever go back to the life she knew?

I only meant to kiss a stranger to make my ex-fiancé jealous.
One daring moment in the heart of the pit; the roar of the crowd echoing off the steel, adrenaline pumping, and my heart pounding, I kissed the most dangerously gorgeous man I’d ever seen.

This story is a dark supernatural thriller following the life of Emmanuel Owolabi—a man trying to live a quiet, human life while hiding his true nature as a vampire. Alongside him is Oshun, his partner, who desperately clings to the idea that they can coexist peacefully with humans by suppressing their instincts.

At its core, the story explores identity, restraint, and the illusion of control.

Everything begins to unravel when Emmanuel encounters a mysterious man named Hakim. Charismatic, observant, and deeply unsettling, Hakim quickly reveals that he is far more than he appears. He introduces Emmanuel to a darker truth about the world—one filled with hunters, hidden forces, and ancient power.

As tension builds, Emmanuel is manipulated into committing a brutal act: the murder of seemingly innocent neighbors under the false belief that they were hunters. This moment becomes the turning point of the story, shattering his fragile sense of morality and destroying his relationship with Oshun, who leaves him after witnessing what he has become.

Hakim then reveals the deeper truth—he is part of an ancient group known as Hemovores, beings created through forbidden rituals involving a powerful demon named Vhalzareth. These beings are stronger than vampires, possessing abilities such as mind-reading, flight, and fire manipulation.

But the true twist lies in Emmanuel himself.

He is not just a vampire.

He is a Dhampir—the prophesied being destined to bring an end to vampires.

Now hunted by fate itself and manipulated by forces far beyond his understanding, Emmanuel stands at a crossroads: reclaim his humanity and find Oshun… or embrace the darkness and become something far more powerful—and far more dangerous.

When her father vanishes without a trace, he leaves behind a hidden journal that reveals a devastating truth: their family is part of an ancient lineage bound to contain the Reeping, a supernatural force born from the mountain’s accumulated grief.
