He grabs me anew, and with a swift move I’m laying splayed on him with my stomach on his legs.

THIS STORY IS SPLIT INTO FOUR PARTS

ONE: CROSSING PATHS

TWO: THE CROWN-BLOOD PACK

THREE: LOVE, LIES AND SECRETS

FOUR: MOUNT HERMOS

She has no magic. He has too much. Their fake relationship is the only thing keeping them alive.

Sabrina Pendleton is a Null—born into a powerful witch coven but possessing zero magical ability. Her only weapons are relentless discipline, sports analytics, and the captaincy of Silverlake Prep's basketball team. But when her uncle decrees she'll be forced into an arranged magical marriage on the winter solstice, no amount of strategy can save her.

Until she witnesses Jace Harrington shatter a backboard with hellfire.

Jace is the golden boy of boys' basketball and a secret cambion—half-demon prince of the syndicate controlling the city's underworld. His temper crackles with black flame, and the corporate scouts offering him a multimillion-dollar NIL contract don't believe in demons. They believe in bad investments.

Sabrina offers a transaction: she'll play the wholesome girlfriend to secure his image. In return, dating the town's most famous athlete creates a media shield so bright her coven can't make her disappear. The rules are simple. The feelings are supposed to be fake.

But when they discover their families are conspiring together—a demonic rite and a magical binding set to trigger on the same night, during the televised state championship—their transaction becomes a trap. And if Sabrina can't pull Jace back from the edge, the boy she pretended to love will become the monster that destroys her.

She was meant to die
He was meant to conquer

Two fates that had no business crossing each paths but did and led to unforeseen consequences and most importantly a love that could either consume, heal or destroy

Hazel found a way to leave her abusive orphanage by volunteering to be a peace treaty between humans and supernaturals leading her to school with non humans

She thought she found an escape but she walked into her doom

Deep in the realms laid a man,
Yearning, waiting, longing

She doesn't remember him but he does and more

A longing that slowly turned to a twisted obsession

This is no ordinary love story, it's a story where even fate is against their love and he was done playing for fate

Where love and madness merge, even fate is against their love

He waited three lifetimes for her
His heart ached, his soul craved

Hazel finds herself thrust into a world where her past memories is the answer

Where her death is supposed to bring peace but now it might just bring ruin

Where a choice she made in the past life returns ready to haunt her with secrets that would change her entire life

But mostly

She finds herself being the only thing stopping a monster from going berserk.

"Those need polishing. Kit's in the bottom drawer."

Heat flooded my face. "Julian, please—"

"That's ‘Alpha’ to you." His voice was cold. "I'm waiting."

I knelt, hands shaking. The office floor was cold through my suit.

"Started believing your own press? Those Forbes interviews made you feel important?" He sipped his drink, watching me work the cloth over his shoes.

I kept my head down.

"Look at me."

I met his eyes.

"This is what you are. Not a CEO. Just a plaything on her knees." He smiled coldly.


Briar Vance was a rising star in pharmaceutical botany—until her father's gambling debts sold her to Julian Sterling, the Alpha heir who collects people like trophies. For a year, she's endured his cruelty in silence.

But when Julian forces her to kneel at his engagement party, something inside her breaks.

She flees to a dive bar, where a silver-eyed stranger makes her an offer: "Let me be your fake boyfriend. I'll make him regret ever touching you."

Briar doesn't know Lucian Kincaid is Julian's half-brother—or that he's been watching her for months, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Their fake relationship becomes dangerously real when Lucian discovers Julian is using Vance Botanicals as a front for illegal Moonborn blood trafficking.

To protect Briar and expose his father Dominic's empire, Lucian risks everything. But when an assassination attempt awakens Briar's dormant Moonborn bloodline, their fated mate bond ignites in a surge of primal instinct—and Julian realizes the woman he tried to break is destined for his greatest enemy.

Now Briar must choose: submit to the Alpha who owns her past, or fight alongside the one who offers her a future. Because in the world of wolf shifters, love isn't a weakness.

It's a declaration of war.

They belong to me, to ' Abhimanyu Singh Raizada ' .

Her lips are tempting

Her eyes are mesmerizing

Her skin is brightening 

Her voice is melodious 

Her hair is soft 

Her heart is golden 

Her soul is pure

And She is all mine

She is taken

The Mafia King's rights reserved.

-Abhimanyu Singh Raizada, The Mafia King.


She was heartbroken. 

He is cold - hearted. 

He kills. 

Her soul was killed.

Ever heard of a prostitute? 

Isn't it disgusting? Is it so? 

But when Love crosses it's limit the walls around the heart is meant to be broken. 

Is Love all about body? 

Then what about soul?

Will she ever be able to free from her darkest past? A past which snatched her dignity, her virtue, her innocence. 

'What is that love which doesn't cross all the limits of madness?"

It's not only a Mafia Romance but it's her story. It is the story of Mafia's Tainted Love.

His eyes traveled all over my body, from head to toe. It made me self-conscious for some reason.

"The dress fits you well," then he paused and murmured, looking at the floor. "I

was wondering if you'd like it or not." "Huh?"

His head turned to me again as if he was freed from a trance.

"So now will you tell me what I have to do for you, sir?" I said sarcastically. "What?" He looked at me with surprise.

"What? You have to have some purpose for keeping me here by force," I said, pressing on the last two words.

He paused for a few seconds and then the lamest thing I could have ever imagined came out of his mouth.

"Yes, you are here to serve me," he stated blankly.

"What? Did I hear you right? You knocked me out, kidnapped my sister, and

blackmailed me into coming here just to be your servant?" I cried out in disbelief.

A smirk began to settle on his face as he took in my reaction. He was enjoying this absurdity even more!

"Yes, dear. You are here to serve me. From now on, you will be with me 24 hours. All matters regarding me are your responsibility from now on."

This is insane! Is he really a pervert? What is he trying to pull?

"But you already have a lot of servants!" I protested. 'And they're always at your beck and call too! Why the hell would you have me kidnapped for this? And who gives new clothes and breakfast in bed to a servant?"

This was driving me crazy. Was he playing with me? Probably, a rotten rich vampire prince playing for fun. But I was not going to play hooky with him. No way!

He kidnapped her sister and forced her to be with him. She waited for the right time to get herself and her sister free. But when the time will come, will she want to get away from him?

Half human, half wolf—my blood can heal anything. To keep the peace, the elders offer me to the pack's War God.
"I'd rather sleep with a rock than a half-blood," Zane spits.
The wind rips away the herbs masking my scent. He freezes mid-sentence.
"Mine," he growls, claiming me on the spot.
He warns me to stay away from the Alpha—he hates half-bloods, and he'll kill me.
But when Zane leaves for war, it's Lucius who collapses at my door, drenched in blood.
"Medicine won't save me. You already know what will."

Madeline Reyes has the same problem. Except hers isn't an accident. Someone has been messing with her scores and she wants to know who.

They meet in the principal's office after breaking into it for completely different reasons. The cameras caught them. Now they're each other's punishment.

Tutoring sessions were not supposed to feel like this.

Now Madeline Reyes realises their is more to the eyes than the perfect score and the cock character that Lucas carries around him like a sheild

After five years in a long-distance relationship, I boarded a more than 10-hour flight without telling him, touched down in the city where he lived, all to give him a surprise.
Hardly had my phone connected to the local network when I scrolled across a post pushed to my feed from the same city.
The title read: What’s the thing you’ve done that you’ve never regretted for a single second?
The top comment stared back at me, sharp and unmistakeable:
I got him drunk and slept with him on the day we graduated college. Back then, he promised his girlfriend he’d never see me again, but his heart softens the moment I cry. Now our kid is 4 years old, and I’m pregnant with our second baby!
The comments below were flooded with questions, and someone asked outright: OP, are you the other woman?
She replied with unapologetic audacity: The one who isn’t loved is the real homewrecker. Besides, that woman was abducted and molested before. She’s long been tainted, and she never deserved him in the first place.
My fingers began to shake uncontrollably. Every single detail lined up perfectly with my own life.
Desperate to calm my heart, which felt like it was about to hammer out of my chest, I stepped into a roadside convenience store to buy a bottle of water.
The second I looked up at the checkout counter, the blood in my veins turned to ice in an instant.
The woman standing beside the cash register was none other than Su Miaomiao—the same woman who’d lain in the same hotel bed with Lu Sinian on that night of our college graduation.
My feet felt nailed to the floor as I watched her walk out of the store with a smile on her face.
The very next second, she threw herself into the arms of a man across the street, tilting her head up to kiss him in a sweet, lingering embrace.
That man was Lu Sinian. My husband. The man I’d legally married, the man I’d spent five years in a long-distance relationship with, the man who’d vowed over and over again to love me and protect me.

Kylie hated him for being a notorious playboy. She used to hate him because he changed his girls like how he changes his clothes.

She felt sorry for the women who were made to cry and played with.

What if one day she realizes her own temptation?

What if back then she felt sorry for the girls he made cry, but this time she’s crying because of him.

Is it about love? Or is it just lust?

One sister was the object of a man’s obsession. The other became the obsession herself. Their closest ally? She’s fighting for her son…with everything on the line.

Ava
Her mother’s death was no accident. Her father sold her to settle debts. On her wedding day, she faced a coffin instead of vows.

Or so she thought.

Forced to marry the “dead” groom’s father, she inherits everything…by wedding his resurrected son.
Orion Miller returns, seething with hate, convinced she’s the villain. She craves freedom. He craves revenge.

Hate sparks obsession. Obsession ignites fire. Their collision could burn empires…or forge a love deadly enough to destroy them both.

Holly
Ava’s little sister survived leukemia and their father’s cruelty. But she won’t survive losing David Hunt…the ex-spy who saved her once, then vanished.

She tracks him down. He shoves her away. She refuses to leave.

Older, lethal, drowning in secrets, David becomes her obsession. A vengeful heiress drags him into a war threatening Ava’s empire…he exploits Holly’s love as his weapon.

He saved her once. Now she’ll destroy everything…even her sister…to save him.

Kayla
Kayla knows betrayal…abusive stepfather, blaming mother, dreams crushed by pregnancy. Alone, she raised her son after his father’s family rejected them.

Then he returns…not for her, for the child. Engaged, claiming amnesia, he demands custody, promising his fiancée will give their son “the life he deserves.”

Desperate, Kayla strikes a deal with a stranger in the rain…fake marriage to prove stability and win.

However, fake vows spark real desire between them. But, threats escalate…anonymous warnings, deadly hearings. Trusting her “husband” could save her son…or cost everything.

In a world of deadly debts, twisted devotions, buried secrets, and love that cuts deepest, three women battle to survive.

Who will rise? Who will burn?

“You were never meant for him,” his voice was a dark promise, his fingers tilting my chin up. “You were meant for me.”

Elara spent her entire life as a human outsider in a world ruled by supernatural beings. When she discovers that she is the fated mate of Rael, the ruthless and possessive heir to the supernatural elite, she is thrust into a dangerous world of power, blood, and betrayal. Bound to him by an unbreakable force, she struggles to resist the pull of their connection.
But Rael isn’t the only one who wants her.
There’s another—Kian, a rebel in the shadows, a man who stands against everything Rael represents. Mysterious, defiant, and fiercely protective, he offers her a different kind of freedom. A choice. A love that isn’t bound by fate but by desire.
With war brewing between the supernatural elite and the rebellion, Elara is caught between two powerful men—one who claims her by destiny and one who challenges her to defy it.
But in a world where love can be a weapon, and loyalty is a dangerous game, the real question isn’t who she will choose.
It’s whether she will survive long enough to make that choice.

Kyla is a determined woman who toils relentlessly to provide for her family, but her life takes an unexpected turn when she enters into a contract with a brooding half-demon. As she steps into an enigmatic world, she finds herself entwined in a lavish marriage to a family shrouded in secrets and bound by wealth. What adventures and dangers await her in this thrilling new life? Only time will tell as Kyla unravels the mysteries surrounding her and discovers the true power of love—and sacrifice.

“Say you want me.” I whispered to her.

“I don't.” Her voice was barely audible.

“You don't, huh? Then tell me, Chica, why are you so fucking wet for me?”

Camilla Torres didn't want to go out clubbing for her 21st birthday.

She didn't want her friends to dress her in slutty attire.

She didn't want to be kidnapped into the mafia world.

And most of all, she didn't want to catch the attention of Àlvaro Castillo, the head of the Italian mafia.

But life can't give you everything that you want. Sometimes, it gives you just the opposite.

Raine Sullivan is 19, and still has not found her mate, despite the fact most werewolves are able to find their mates at 18. But in a turn of events, Raines life is turned upside down, when not only does she find one mate, but two. However, not only is two mates bad enough, finding out who they are just might be worse.

As Jamie’s world unravels, Alex is forced to confront dark truths about his past and the power-hungry forces targeting them both.

Excerpt

"What were you trying to do, Qiyara?" My eyes devour the harshness of his hungered swallow and his clenched trembling fist set against the wall. His raging heat that bounds me within, I find unfathomably irresistible.

"I was merely dancing, Cronus." A feverish breathless lie I spout engraving the way the tip of his hot tongue peeks out his mouth to caress his plump lower lip. I wish to obtain a taste of what he can offer.

My ample breasts heave achingly to stroke his wicked flesh, his eyes set aflame to my words for he knows I hold no truth. Then I shall gladly be a sinner, his sinner.

"If you were trying to make me jealous so that I would lose my control and ravish you then you are wrong. I have trained to be a master of control since I was a mere pup. Do not test me." He does not understand, my desperation for him to ram himself raw & deep within me.

"You won't touch me." I move forward swiftly to taste the nape of his neck with a seductiveness. My hand descends his sculpted flesh to embrace his straining girth that is fastened under his jeans. Succumb to me, my male.

He seizes my wrist with brutality. "You are still young, you are not ready." He is too much of an honourable male for me.

"Fuck me, Cronus. Take me against this wall." I am relentless in my lewdness. I lure him into my den.

"Stop it, Qiyara!"

Blazing eyes meet his with a formidable determination. "Then I will keep going against you. I shall be the devil for I will entice you because I ache to feel it."

"Feel what?" He questions nose flaring, his wrath to my stubbornness soaring.

"You lose control."


The forbidden fruit, that was what Cronus was to me. He was one of my brother's closest friends and the most sought-after male who many females from diverse packs fawned over praying he would end up being hers. He was a charmer indeed for with those flirty smiles of his and genuine kindness he enthralled many including me. He was thirteen years older than me but I always had a thing for older males so it started out as a covert crush until I too stood in line with the rest of the females hoping to claim him as mine. However, my position in that line of thirsty females was not last as I had expected but first for Cronus ended up being my mate just as I yearned for, the moon's gift.

Forbidden fruit? Not anymore, Cronus is mine and I am going to gobble this male up.

After a brutal humiliation turns Aria Collins into the campus joke, she decides revenge isn’t enough—she wants power. And the fastest way to get it is by stealing the one thing her enemy wants most.
Zane Parker.
The problem? Aria has no idea how to make a guy like him notice her.
So she makes a reckless offer to the four most dangerous boys on campus—the Steel brothers… who are now her stepbrothers.
At dinner, she slides a paper across the table.
“I want sex education.”
Reed’s slow grin spreads across his face. “You want us to teach you?”
“Yes,” Aria says calmly.
“Okay then, Spread your legs, Aria.” His tone left no room for argument, and my heart stuttered at the command.
Jasper released my hand, leaning back slightly but keeping his eyes locked on mine. “Now touch yourself,” he said, his voice low and deliberate. “Show us how well you’ve learned this first lesson.”
My fingers trembled as I reached down, my mind spinning as I tried to process what was happening.
Reed’s voice was a murmur near my ear, his breath warm against my skin. “Good girl, finger yourself harder. Let us see.”
I couldn’t look at them, couldn’t meet their eyes. My fingers brushed against myself hesitantly, and a small gasp escaped my lips as sensation sparked through me. I felt exposed, vulnerable, but also…hot between my legs.
Cole stepped closer, his hand hovering near mine as if to guide me. “Press harder,” he instructed, his hot words making me feel hotter. “Oh baby girl.. You are coming.”

This book has been rewritten and is dedicated to my Grandmother, Marie Valerie Perrett. Her flesh and bones now lay as ash, while her spirit glows within the ones fortunate to have breathed her air, as memories, and moments from the past become those that define our future. In my life some of those are memories and lessons that she has taught me, not just by words, but by actions.

She gave me the tools to be a strong woman, and at times I admit I struggled to stand, but my grandmother held me by both hands at those times and lifted me up. Then she let me go, because she knew, she knew all along that one day I would need the strength to stand on my own. To lift my own daughter by her hands and learn to let her grow so she can become stronger.

Who you were or the way you felt, my Grandmother loved without judgement.

When she looked at me, spoke to me I never doubted her love, it was always an invisible beam between us. When I was younger we used to lay on her bed and she used to read to me stories from the bible while I used her arm as a pillow. I remember when I got a bit older and she read to me then I asked her, "Gran why does a story always start with Once Upon A Time?" She said because now it is a fairytale but once upon a time it was true. It was then I imagined life, I convinced myself that aliens were real. That I could be anything I want.

There is never a moment that is perfect to let the one you love go and she was one of the very few who I have loved and still do. I took my books off the pre-order today and I am glad I did. Because I get to share her memory with you guys. And dedicate this book that she waited so long to read but barely started. On Tuesday, December 4th 2018, I read the first chapter to her.

I wish I knew that it was the last day, but we never really know when death comes naturally, do we.

Valeria's plan was simple:
Endure living in the same house as her notoriously sexy stepbrothers.
Make it through the last months of high school.
Leave the Red Ridge Pack—forever.

And things were going quite well until the first thing her wolf - Hazel - screamed on her eighteenth birthday was, "Mates!"

To her horror, she looked up and saw it wasn't just one—but all four of her stepbrothers.
Alerion, the cold and calculating leader.
Caius, the cute geek.
Zane, the Casanova, who made her heart race and her head spin.
And Lysander, the quirky one who had sworn to make her life in school difficult.

Each of them is determined to stake their claim, but Valeria has no interest in being part of their game. With her stepfather pressuring her into an arranged marriage and her mother turning a blind eye to her struggles, Valeria has one goal: to escape and never be found.

But the bond between mates is impossible to ignore, and when secrets unravel and tensions ignite, Valeria finds herself caught in a dangerous web of jealousy, desire, and betrayal.

Her freedom was all she ever wanted, but will she risk losing her heart to the ones she vowed to leave behind?

"Use me to get back at your ex. Make him jealous. Even if he doesn't love you, he won't handle seeing you with someone else. Especially someone like me."
I blinked at him, confused. "Especially someone like you? Why would he be jealous? He doesn't even like me."
He smirked. "Trust me. Derek will lose his mind watching his ex-wife move on. He'll wonder if you ever loved him... and why you replaced him so easily. That's when he starts running back."
"Deal?"
His eyes glittered with danger. My brain screamed run. But I still found myself nodding.
"Deal."
Vanessa Holland thought signing divorce papers with Derek—a man with the emotional depth of a teaspoon—was the worst day of her life.
She was wrong.
Rock bottom has a basement... and Ryker Holland is waiting there, handsome, ruthless, and armed with a plan.
Ryker, Derek's half-brother and the real power behind the Holland empire, offers Vanessa a deal she's not supposed to refuse: Make Derek jealous enough to crawl back in humiliation, while Ryker secures the CEO throne he's been denied.
But this isn't kindness. Ryker is petty. He is cruel. And he wants to destroy Derek—piece by piece.
Vanessa is the perfect weapon: a discarded wife with nothing left to lose... and maybe just enough vengeance in her heart to play along.
Except fake dating Ryker doesn't stay fake for long.
Emotions blur. Lines cross.
The man she should fear becomes the one she can't stay away from.
Now Vanessa must decide: Is she Ryker's pawn? Or has she learned how to play the Hollands better than either brother ever expected?
Two brothers. One broken heart.
Revenge never looked this tempting...
And the Holland boys are going down—
one will break, and the other will enjoy every second of it.
