At twelve, she pulled a wolf-blood boy from the snow.
Ten years later, he became the Alpha King ruling the North, while she knelt at his feet—a prisoner.


Elena Veyrmont was once the most noble daughter of Saint Crow City—sending back three trays of pastries merely because the frosting roses weren't symmetrical enough, marriage proposals stacking up on her father's desk like cordwood.

Overnight, the Blood-Treason Law descended. Her father's head hung from a pike, her mother's body cooling at her feet, her young brother dragged away by soldiers—that small hand reaching for her never quite reaching, until his very last breath...

Reduced to a prisoner on the death march toward the border, she kept herself alive with a pair of hands that could read illness and diagnose ailments—she detected the escort captain's hidden affliction, trading three diamonds and her medical skill for temporary refuge.

But she did not know that the true hunter had long been waiting in the snowy night.

The door of the ruined chapel exploded inward, and the stench of blood, pine resin, and beast musk poured in. Beneath a silver-grey wolf-skin cloak, those amber vertical-slit pupils locked onto her—

It was him. The boy she had once saved—then crushed his token beneath her heel, publicly humiliating him: "A Moonspawn doesn't deserve to speak my name."

"What I despise most in this world," he pressed the blade to her throat, his voice low as a lover's whisper, "is humans. Every. Last. One."

Yet the blade stopped at her neck.

"But killing you now would be too dull." He bent down, threw her across his horse like prey, and wrapped her frozen body in his cloak. "We have a long road ahead, Elena. Plenty of time to settle old debts."

I walked into Dante Marchetti’s world begging for mercy.
He offered it, beautifully packaged, brutally priced.

Two million dollars erased with a single signature.
My freedom erased with the next line

The contract is simple: my silence, my time, my body.
Now I’m bound to a man who doesn’t believe in love,
only ownership…
and I’m the possession he chose.

Dante is cold, controlled, and feared by men who fear nothing.
Yet with me, his control fractures.
His gaze turns hungry.
His voice turns sinful.
And the darkness he hides pulls me closer than his hands ever dare.

I should run.
But he’s already decided I’m his.
Not for a night.
Not for a debt.
For as long as he wants.

And Dante Marchetti never stops wanting.

Terrified and convinced he is their killer, Kaitlyn fights his grip as he drags her into a world of danger, but the truth is far darker than she imagined. Callum didn't come to end her life; he came to save it.

Her father's deadly secrets have made her a target of the most feared cartel in the underworld, and only Callum can keep her alive.

Trapped in the Mafia King's shadow, Kaitlyn vows to resist his dangerous charm. Yet as threats close in and lies unravel, she finds herself entangled in a web of forbidden desire, ruthless power plays, and secrets that could destroy everything she thought she knew.

Can Kaitlyn survive the world she has been thrown into? Or will Callum's darkness consume her too?

He wanted a servant. Fate gave him a mate.

Banished. Scarred. Broken.
Valeria was marked a traitor and thrown to the wolves—literally. Her only crime? Refusing to bow to the mate who rejected her and tried to kill her.

Now, she’s forced to serve the most feared Alpha in the realm—King Aldric, a monstrous Lycan whose rage is legend and whose mercy is a myth.

But something shifts in the shadows of his desire. A stolen glance. A trembling touch. A beast who sees something in her no one else ever did.

When a dangerous aphrodisiac pushes Aldric past the brink, Valeria becomes the object of his obsession—and perhaps the key to breaking his curse.

But in a world where love is weakness and power rules all, can a scarred servant tame a cursed King?

Or will her second chance at love become her final downfall?

BLURB

Three years ago, Violet Sorel watched the crown prince of Valdris burn her world to the ground. He took her kingdom, killed her parents, bit her in her own courtyard, and left her for dead. She survived. She planned. And when his palace posted an open call for blood servants, she walked straight through his doors with a smile on her face and murder in her heart.

Getting close to Prince Caspian was supposed to be simple. It was never simple.

Now she is his blood servant, his secret, and the first witch to walk Solaria in a thousand years — shipped off to Eirenmoor Academy where an incubus knows her from her dreams, a fae lord won't stay out of her forest, and the prince himself keeps looking at her like he is trying to remember something he was never supposed to forget.

She has a plan. She has a poison. She has everything she needs to destroy him.

The problem is the bond between them and the fact that it has never, not once, felt like hate.

The last witch of solaria is the first book in the Solaria trilogy… a slow burn reverse harem fantasy romance featuring a morally complex heroine, political intrigue, a magic academy that kills its students, and a revenge plot that refuses to stay simple.

A fake relationship full of forbidden heat . . .

The rules for their relationship are simple: in front of the paparazzi, they play the perfect Hollywood couple. In private, their contract states that all feelings - and sex - are absolutely forbidden.

It's the perfect publicity stunt - until someone wants more. Needs more.

Sometimes, the truth is even hotter than the lies . . .

Due to explicit scenes, this steamy romance is rated 18+.

**
“How old are you?”
“T-Twenty,” I bit my lower lip, stuttering on the lie. “I’m an adult.”
I trembled but turned my head, allowing him to drag his nose along my neck and breathe in my scent. I didn’t know what I smelled like to him. Did I smell like I was lying?
I held still. He shifted just a bit, seemingly retreating, and I flung my arms around his neck, holding him down.
“Please, Alpha King,” I said. My voice trembled even as I tried to sound sultry. “I’m… sure I can please you.”
“Do you know what happens when you lie to the Alpha King, little girl?”
He knew. I should have known that he would know I wasn’t twenty.
“You seem so deliberate, but I’m not interested in your offer. How about we play a game?”
“A-A game?”
He narrowed his eyes and gave me a slow, cruel smile.
“If you win, I’ll grant you sanctuary.”
My eyes widened with a spark of hope.

His words cut through me, making my chest tighten with fear
"You're ours, kitten," he murmured, his gaze locking with mine, stealing the air from my lungs. "You will be claimed, controlled, and touched in all the ways I choose. Do you understand?"

~ Solaris’ Reign ~

Solaris has reached the end. Her body giving out after her gruesome past and forcing her to accept the future. However, she’s not done yet. There are some last strings tied to her past that she needs to bring together. It brings her home, to the Moon River pack, and to two men she never thought she would see again. However, with their fates intertwined, Solaris needs to pull everyone together before she takes her last breath. To save the lives of everyone she loves but her own. Battling the stigma of rogues, the broken-hearts of her lovers, an old flame, her duties to her kind, and trying to hold on before her final breath is taken.

Elora, a young werewolf and daughter of the Beta of Darwin Pack, is forced into slavery together with her siblings when her father is betrayed and branded as a slaver by his own Alpha. Her only goal is to find a way to clear her father's name and find a good home far away from their kingdom where her family could be together but a lot of enemies stand in her way. Becoming the mistress of the Lycan king seemed a good way to get a step further in getting her revenge but it only exposed her to more dangerous enemies. Rome, King of the Lycans, is heartbroken by the betrayal of his wife and is decidedly fed up with matters of the heart. He is on a mission to ensure the new law he passed on slavery was being followed when he is bumped into by a female werewolf that steals his breath and commands his attention. He finds out she's the daughter of a slaver and hopes to put distance between himself and the alluring woman but with the threat of losing his throne, he is forced to make her his mistress.

Things do not go as planned when Astrid finds herself in the wrong school, the only werewolf in a school of Lycans who are bigger, badder and stronger than she is. It only makes things worse when she is placed under the charge of her childhood enemy, Rune Wilder, who seems more than content to cause her pain. Somewhere along the line, Astrid finds out that the reason why Rune hates her so is because he is secretly in love with her, and he is only pretending because he thinks he will hurt her if they ever get together. He bears a secret that could damn him. Within him resides the soul of the dark King, King Hekate, and he has no control over him.

Amaris, the wolf-less Luna had to endure the hellish marriage life with her husband Alpha Harry after her father sold her to him. She’s his trophy wife as well as his slave. It was hard for her to have even an ounce of love for him due to his continuous bullying and cheating.
On the night that all the hellish escalated, she made a bold decision, a decision that accidentally turned her world upside down.
Amaris shared a steamy night with a stranger in the woods, but never did she expect that man would turn out to be the Alpha King, the most cruel and powerful Alpha of the North.


"I'm afraid you have the wrong person, sir. I don't remember we've met before."
His face darkened instantly and I could feel danger approaching. I tried to ignore him but he grabbed my waist and pushed me against the wall.
"Shall we do deeper to help you recover the memory of that night?"
I was in a total daze when his lips licked my neck. He was like a walking aphrodisiac that made me unable to think properly.

"You're beautiful when you're dangerous," he murmured, ice-blue eyes burning into mine as shadows writhed around my feet.
"I don't need another Alpha who thinks he owns me," I snapped, yet stepped closer, drawn by his raw power.
His hand caught my wrist, thumb tracing the silver chain marks Magnus had left. "Who dared mark what's mine?"
Heat pooled low in my stomach at his possessive words. "I'm not yours."
"Your racing pulse says otherwise." His thumb found my heartbeat, and I couldn't suppress the soft gasp that escaped.
"Let go," I breathed, even as I leaned into his touch.
"Make me." His other hand slid to my waist, pulling me against his hard chest. "Tell me you don't want this."
The lie died on my lips as his scent made my head spin with need.


Nephele survived two years as Magnus's captive Luna, believing she was wolfless trash. While enduring his brutality, her blood was secretly harvested by Ophelia—the woman who raised her. When she finally escapes, she learns the truth: she's the last Shadow Wolf princess, stolen as a baby. Now both want their valuable weapon back.
Half-dead in the forest, she's saved by Kaedan—the boy who once gave her an apple, now the ruthless Frost King. She won't trade one prison for another, but his touch sets her on fire and his protection feels dangerously like home.
Can a broken girl trust the king who could destroy her completely?

Misa is a sheltered novice of the pious Sisterhood of the Fire, her innocence protected by the walls of the temple and the strict codes of Halen-Dar.

As she faces the agonizing terror of her impending innocence lost and a forced proximity with him, Misa begins to sense a strange, aching connection between her and the terrifying man she was married to against her will.

What does it take to conquer a conqueror?

I was the Omega girl no one wanted. I was abandoned as a baby and even my mate rejected me in front of my entire pack, leaving me hurt and humiliated.
Then came the Peace Summit that only happens once every 70 years and I found out that the moon goddess gave me a second chance. Only, it’s not one mate, but two.
Valen Aibek, the sly King of the North, and Darian Callisto, the ruthless King of the South. They have been rivals for a decade but suddenly, they have one thing in common: me. They both claim I’m theirs.
If I choose Valen, the South considers me a traitor. If I stay with Darian, the North invades. The two most powerful men want me and I’m the only thing standing between them and a world war.
How should I choose?

After mating to the prince, I was brutally killed by my jealous friend during pregnancy!
Luckily I was reborn and the ugly scars on my face were gone. My husband, who never cared about me, suddenly came to my door. How dare he let my son call him Daddy？
——
“Wake up,” I willed myself desperately, to my sunken and sallow body. “You can’t die. If you die, the baby will die.”
Moon Goddess, are you here to answer my prayers?
Yes, child. But there is a reason I am here to grant you life again; your bloodline is too significant and rare to expunge.
This is why you paired Prince Aldrich and I, I muttered, realization surfacing.
You are just as important as him, even more so.
My body thirsted for water, for food and a bath and sunlight. But mostly, it thirsted for revenge at that moment.
I must return, was all I said.
