"Lay on the table." He orders. I obey. I don't argue. I can't argue.
"Spread your legs open." His voice, a caress, yet firm. I shakily obey. My legs timidly spread before him. The cold air drifts to me.

In the glittering world of Vespera, power is bought with blood, and beauty is the ultimate weapon.

Three years have passed since the name Margo Valderama died in a tragic fire. Now, she returns as Eris—a "Jade" buried in the mud of the Iron Roots, ready to enter The Sanctum: the secret training ground for the country’s most lethal mistresses.

Her mission is simple: Infiltrate the Thorne Empire. Destroy the people who framed her father. And kill the man she once loved—Julian Thorne.

Julian is the Conservator. He is cold, lethal, and obsessed. He thinks he’s rescuing a broken girl from the slums to turn her into a perfect pet. Little does he know, he’s invited his own executioner into his bed..

In a house where love is a defect and secrets are currency, who will break first?

"Rule Number Thirteen: Kill them all."

"I, Torey Black, Alpha of the Black Moon reject you."
His rejection hit me instantly.
I couldn't breathe, unable to catch my breath as my chest heaved up and down, my stomach churning, unable to hold myself together as I watched his car speed down the driveway and away from me.

I couldn't even comfort my wolf, she immediately retreated to the back of my mind, prohibiting me from speaking to her.

I felt my lips wobble, my face scrunching up as I attempted to hold myself together but failing miserably.

Weeks had passed since I last saw Torey my heart seeming to break a little bit more as the days went by.

But lately, I found that I was pregnant.

Werewolves pregnancies were much shorter than a human's. With Torey being an Alpha, it cut the time down to four months, whereas a Beta would be five, Third in Command would be six and a regular wolf would be between seven and eight.

She walks out with nothing… except the fire he accidentally lit inside her.

Then she meets Damien Cross.
Quiet. Dangerous. A man who doesn’t follow rules, and doesn’t need to.
A man even Adrian fears.

He sees the strength she’s been forced to hide, the rage she’s been swallowing, and he doesn’t look away. Instead, he challenges her to rise.

Now revenge isn’t just an idea.
It’s her rebirth.

But in a city built on secrets and bloodlines, falling for a man like Damien might be the most dangerous choice she ever makes.

Her Flaming Throne is a story of betrayal, rebirth, and a love powerful enough to burn everything that stands in its way.

"This is forbidden," Grayson says softly, stepping back. "You're a princess and I'm a knight," he continues, voice strained with a hint of regret.

"Before that...you were once my best friend and first love," I whisper, stepping closer. I reached out gently, my hands trembling as I lift his face to meet my gaze.

"It's all in the past," His jaw tightens, eyes shutting briefly, then slowly opening to reveal a flicker of pain buried beneath his composure.

"Is it?" I press softly, leaning in closer.

He says nothing for a long moment, then releases a deep shaky breath. "You're one person I desire the most, yet it's forbidden." He admits.

“Then you’ll break your grandfather’s heart when this engagement falls through. Your choice, Isla.”
Those words marked the end of Isla’s freedom and the beginning of her undoing.
When Isla Morretti stumbles into the wrong hotel room after escaping a humiliating breakup, she expects only to drown her sorrows in a night of anonymity. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. The man she wakes up next to isn’t just any stranger he’s Alpha Tristian Hale, the most powerful, feared, and emotionally untouchable werewolf in the Western Territory. What she thought would be a single night of reckless impulsivity turns into a lifetime of consequences when her family announces her engagement to that very same man in front of the entire pack at the Alpha’s Ball.

But Tristian doesn’t want her.
He’s still haunted by Viviana the Luna who vanished without a trace and took half of his soul with her. To him, Isla is merely a convenient placeholder, a fragile Omega forced into a role meant for someone else. Their marriage is a contract written in ink, duty, and pain, a cold arrangement where love has no place and touch is forbidden.

Yet every time Isla looks into his eyes, she sees something flicker something raw, dangerous, and undeniably real.
And that’s when the storm begins.
Because Tristian isn’t the only one drawn to her.
There’s Kieran Hale, Tristian’s estranged brother, a man carved from shadows and sin. Cunning, ruthless, and breathtakingly dangerous, Kieran has always lived in his brother’s shadow. But when Isla enters their world, he sees more than just an opportunity for revenge, he sees the first light he’s ever wanted to protect. To him, Isla isn’t weak. She’s fire disguised as innocence, and he’s willing to burn the whole pack to claim her.

In the End, who would she choose? Will there be a twist of fate? Can she have them all? Will Tristian be able to redeem his love will with Viviana or can the little useless Omega he has win him over.

To escape the clutches of Draka and the werewolf, a nation of vampires who send her to a dark prison instead captured Lily. There, amongst the cold stone and darkness, she meets a handsome and mysterious prison guard. Though trapped in fear and confusion, love grows between them.
Can Lily find out the real truth?

"I love you, Caitlin," he murmurs against my neck, his breath coming in hot, ragged bursts as his hands explore my body, setting every nerve alight with raw, desperate need. But which one is it tonight—Daniel with his soft, lingering touches, Ryan's brutal grip that leaves bruises blooming on my hips, or Patrick's powerful thrusts that own me completely?

I'm Caitlin Morrison, a cutthroat lawyer juggling three men who thought they had the upper hand. At first, they treated me like a toy: Daniel, my old friend, turning our cozy mornings into no-strings convenience; Ryan, the wild rocker, owning my body in sweaty, primal nights of pure animal lust; and Patrick, my domineering boss, turning illicit office hookups into his private thrill, leaving me spent and craving more. They figured they could fuck me and forget the feelings, tossing them aside like yesterday's trash.

But I turned the tables, hooking them deep until they were the ones obsessed, realizing too late—they were my playthings, addicted and pleading for my mercy.

She was a powerful witch, disguised as a maid to the prince who found her attractive yet dangerous.

She clearly had secrets, the prince believed she had something to do with his younger brother, who coveted the throne when they were kids.

But the prince was only half right. Her agenda remained a secret to everyone until the truth emerged...

In a kingdom where winter never fades and shadows whisper beyond ancient peaks, the Frost Throne stands as both shield and shackle. Zavian, a ruler bound by duty and scarred by war, has sealed away an ancient abyss that once threatened to consume his world. But peace in Ironvale is fleeting.

As the kingdom rebuilds from its battle with darkness, whispers of rebellion stir in the Eastern Reach. Ambitious lords and masked conspirators weave plans beneath the frostbitten skies, while ancient prophecies foretell a coming eclipse that will test the throne’s fragile grasp. With betrayal blooming within his walls and a forgotten darkness stirring beyond them, Zavian must navigate a deadly game of loyalty and power.

Allies like the fierce mage Selene and the sharp-eyed ranger Faelar stand by his side, but trust is a rare and precious thing in a kingdom built on secrets. Beneath the silent snow and distant stars, the battle for Ironvale's soul is far from over.

Shadows rise, loyalties crack, and the throne's verdict has yet to be written.

Will light hold firm, or will Ironvale be claimed by the silence between heartbeats?

I was always overlooked... until I was forced to take my sister's place.

My twin, Calista, was destined to lead our pack as alpha. I’m Aveline, the second-born, expected to serve.

Calista was engaged to the heir of a powerful rival pack. But when he arrives, he rejects her and chooses me, throwing everything into chaos.

Suddenly, my world is turned upside down. I’m no longer invisible; now, I’m receiving gifts and attention. The heir claims we’re destined to be together, but I don’t feel the same way.

Now, my sister despises me, I’m accused of treason, and I have to challenge her for the throne. Tough break, right?

As I navigate this mess, something powerful awakens within me. If my secret gets out, I’ll be the most hunted wolf ever.

The morning after the Haze, I open my eyes expecting to see the love of my life, my fated mate. Instead, I see... HIM!
