Four years later, fate brings them together again, igniting a tale of love, betrayal, and a bond that may or may not reignite.


"You're f*cking mine, Freya," he growled, his words dripping with possessiveness. "No one else can satisfy you like I can."

I gripped the sheets, while biting my lips as I surrendered to the relentless pleasure being thrusted between my thighs.

"Yes, Alpha Dominic," I moaned, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm yours, only yours."

And then I spoke the riskiest truth of all, "I want you too."

A groan escaped from his lips, and he pulled me close, crushing my body to his as his lips covered mine.

She was never supposed to be part of his world. Ivy Sinclair is good at keeping to herself. No friends. No complications. Just a quiet life built around one rule: Stay invisible.Stay safe. It worked perfectly.

Not until the night she took the wrong alley home and everything she thought she knew about the world stopped being true.
One attack. One rescue. One single moment in the dark — and the most powerful man alive hasn't been the same since.

Caden Blackwell is not a good man. He is something far older than good and dangerous in ways Ivy doesn't have words for yet. Cold. Commanding. Absolute.

He rules a world hidden beneath the one she's always known — and from the moment his hands caught her falling body, his carefully constructed empire of control developed a crack he cannot fix.

He knows exactly what she is to him. She has no idea what he is.

A human mate is rare in the werewolf world. A human mated to an Alpha King is even rarer. There are those who will smile at the news and those who will sharpen their knives.

There is Ivy — who just wants the truth and can't understand why the cold, impossible man who suddenly starts appearing in her life feels like something she already knows in her bones.

Two worlds that were never supposed to touch are colliding. Will Caden accept the bond — or bury it to protect his throne?

Will Ivy accept the truth — or run from everything that comes with it? Some ties can't be cut. Some fates can't be outrun.
And some humans were never meant to stay in the dark.

What begins as cold indifference slowly becomes something neither of them has a word for.


I thought I was invited to a party, but I was actually walking into my own execution.
The music stopped the second Kem snatched my unlocked phone. She read my most pathetic, obsessive diary entries about Nat out loud to the entire room. The boy I had secretly loved for four years just stared at me with pure disgust.
Then came the pie smashing directly into my face, followed by a bottle of sticky liquid poured over my head while everyone howled with laughter. I was the fat, pathetic joke of the school.
I walked home dripping in humiliation, swearing I’d never look at him again. Until the next day, when I showed up to my new nanny job... and Nat walked down the stairs.

Rejected by her mate on their twentieth birthday and also being killed by him. That same night, Cleo experienced her wolf, but what she became, even she didn't understand. The next day, she woke up and realized that her mate had completed the bond ritual while she was unconscious, and in that moment she realized that revenge tasted better than him, a revenge that her wolf was more than willing to aid her in.

"Cole is now Neuri's new mate, and that is final!" I suddenly roar from the pit of my gut, growling out my fury in a primal voice unlike any I had ever used before only seeing red. "No wolf is worthy of Neuri, nor anyone else who claims her as their mate is... There is only one man whom she wants, only one man who matters, and that man is him!" 

"What kind of sick joke is this?" Alexander spat, stepping forward.

I turned to face him as my nostril flared, my breathing ragged, and my ears pricked for the slightest movement of his steps towards me.

"You... oh, you..." I whispered, moving my head slightly from left to right as I sized him with my eyes.

"You are my mate, and you will stop this nonsense once and for all." He screamed in my mind.

His voice was carried with force, but beneath it, I tasted fear, and my lips curled upward as I laughed, raising my chin, "Make me."

"Victor, stop. I came here for therapy—not to ruin my marriage."

Arthur had assured me his college buddy Victor—a single personal rehab therapist built like a gladiator—would cure my chronic back pain. But then Victor straddled me on the therapy table, his thick, hard cock scorching through thin fabric as it ground against my soaked pussy. All the while, Arthur's voice echoed from the speakerphone:

"Do whatever it takes to fix her. I trust you."

Ever since her parents died, nerdy Amelia Forbes has always been bullied by the school's bad boy and jock, Jason. Ruthless and drop dead gorgeous, Jason makes her school years a living hell. Meaner than the devil himself, he is always sure to ruin Mel's day.

She stepped back, curling her small fists of her gown. She looked beautiful, ethereal. Her big doe eyes blinked at his sudden arrival. Her breath hitched the moment he took steps towards her. "What are you doing here? Cavin?" She questioned stammering. 
"Say no to this engagement now!" He growled, pulling her by her waist. Her soft body crashed with hard one. Making her breath uneven. She tried to avoid his strong gaze. That was piercing her soul. 
"Why would I?" She questioned back confidently. Triggering his feelings. His wants. His desires. Without any second thought he crashed his lips on hers. Feeling her adopted uncles lips on hers, she shivered at the thought. Their forbidden desires would lead them to problems.

I need a fake date to my brother's wedding, and billionaire Charlie Walgrove owns a tux. Simple, right?   He’s also my sister’s boss, and I agree to let her set me up with the awkward genius, who apparently has even less luck in the dating game than a struggling artist, aka me.   We’re total opposites, but the date goes okay. We agree to be friends, the kind who won’t become lovers.    Famous last words.   On a series of “friend dates” involving bar snacks, acrylic paint and hedgehogs, I discover that Charlie is nothing like what I expected. Under his hoodie and glasses, he’s handsome and down-to-earth, stuck in a job he hates and afraid to disappoint people by walking away. His heart is as gorgeous as his hidden face.   I’ve always felt like the flaky sister in my family, but Charlie sees me as the artist I want to be. As our friendship deepens, so do my feelings for him. Maybe I’m even falling in love.   But gambling with my heart feels dangerous when all my relationships end in failure–especially if he’s only looking for a friend.   Is it only princesses that get a Happily Ever After? Or is there hope for a hot mess like me?   No Match for Her is a STANDALONE friends-to-lovers, opposites-attract romance. It is part of the Berkeley Hills series.

I'll make it hurt, make them suffer. So much that they hate me, yet, can't live without me. To become dependent on me until they even forget themselves. If they fall for me, all the better. Just the thought of them in pain gives me chills.
