In order to raise the surgical fees for my "blind" boyfriend, I dedicated three entire years to scrubbing toilets.

I believed I was his eyes, the sole beacon of light in his world of darkness.

Until his birthday arrived, I was confronted with the sight of that "incapable" man—who required my assistance even to drink water—coddling his ex-girlfriend while flirting.

"That fool is still busy cleaning toilets," he chuckled with a patronizing grin, brandishing my late mother's memento to charm that woman. "After all, she outshone you at Parsons. Let her serve me like a dog for three years—that'll be her punishment."

It dawned on me that my sacrifices were but fodder for their idle amusement.

Drying my tears, I turned and dialed the number I had blocked for three years—the one belonging to the fiancé who controlled an entire business empire.

"Sebastian, about that arranged marriage... I accept."

At the red carpet event, Maddie, my partner of three years, in an attempt to curry favor with a popular male star, publicly humiliated me, trampling on my foot and yelling, "Ethan, you're just a backstage errand boy

. Don't interfere with Ryan's shots. Go back to carrying materials." The whole room burst into laughter; everyone thought I was a lowly sycophant forced to swallow my humiliation.

But I didn't get angry. I calmly took out my tablet, cut off all her studio's basic permissions with a single click, and immediately sent the irrefutable evidence of her breach of contract to the brand's legal department.

Three minutes later, she was completely stripped of her control and faced a multi-million dollar claim for breach of contract.

At first, she thought I was just acting out of spite, that a little charity would win me back. It wasn't until the day her assets were forcibly liquidated and she was completely blacklisted from the industry that she desperately realized: for the past three years, she had only been able to sit at the table because of my charity.

Later, shamelessly, she crawled through garbage cans, barefoot, to the airport, knelt before my bulletproof Maybach, and begged me to come back.

As for me, I simply walked onto the private jet surrounded by executives from top European conglomerates.

“Mate!” He said out loud, and I felt the feeling engulf me.
We entwined our lips with the ecstasy of finding each other. His hands were pressing me close to his body as though he wanted me to enter into his body.
If that was possible, I wouldn't have refused.
I had not looked at his face, and so, I raised my head.
“Red… re–d eyes.” I couldn't keep my mouth closed.
My eyes were fixed at him as I stepped backward.
“Are you okay?” He asked.
His hands wanted to touch me, but I didn't let them. When he was too close, I turned in the direction of the exit as I raced out of the hall.

She had seen another problem, but was she going to reject her mate for being the same man in her dreams?
Her mate, Grimes, wasn't in the best of situations either. The day he found Leah as his mate, was the same day he discovered his mistress was pregnant for him.
What was he going to do to overcome all these obstacles that were against his being with Leah?

I find myself making a hard decision one that I never thought to have to make. I look over at my two sons beaten and broken, pleading to take my punishment. I smile saying, "It's OK boys. Don't be sad for me, know that I will always know how you are doing." Naikono screamed and cried while Kino's silent tears pleading. "I love you, keep each other safe. I will see you again in this body or another I will find you," I said to them as they were dragged off. I was left with the Fates of Time who were my Judges, Juries, and Executioners. I fucked up bad and got caught doing it too. One of the sad things is I don't even remember what I did. The Fates took my memories of the crime to ensure that the atrocities committed would never happen again. I sit there looking at them waiting for my sentencing. "For your crimes you sill spend 2500 yrs in oblivion after which you will spend the next millennia being reborn to unfortunate souls who are not destine to live. Finally you will be given the chance to live a peaceful life that is if you can keep yourself safe," the fate of the future said."I will take your punishment on one condition, that if outside forces beyond what is meant for the time of which I am in interfere with me or my children, should I have them, I can revert to my original self without repercussions to me or my children.” The fates stepped aside to consider this. They knew who I was and what I was capable of so ignoring my offer wouldn't work out for them. Stepping forward they said, " We accept your condition". Than my world went dark.

His iron grip was fastened around my waist and he pinned me on to the wall.
"Let go of me!" I gritted.
"If I want to right now" he leaned in close, his lips grazing my earlobe.
"I can forcefully have my way with you and watch you scream your beautiful melodious tone underneath me" he whispered gravelly.

I gasped and tried getting his hands of my waist.
"You are my wife after all aren't you?" He teased, his teeth gently nibbling on my skin.
I felt a strange heat brewing up inside me and I fought to control it.
"Dante let go of me!" I seethed.
Slowly, his head ascended from my neck and faced me.
He ran a finger along my lips and a devilish smile curled up on his face.


Love. Crime. Passion. Strong female lead

Alina Fedorov, the vibrant and daring daughter to the Don of the Russian mafia is forcefully put into marriage against her wishes by her father. And her groom is no other than the feared Dante Morelli, the ruthless capo dei capi of the most powerful and dangerous italian-american mafia.

He has his base running all through Europe and America with myriads of capos and underbossess at his beck and call. Running his underworld without a heart, he is quick to do away with any one who goes against his orders and his years of training has him equipped for a dangerous life of crime.

But none of that will matter when he meets the impulsive and independent Alina Federov.

Can love ever blossom between the two especially as Dante craves revenge on Alina for the sins of her father? Or will Alina be able to break down his walls of coldness and have him on his knees for her?

"Miss Davis, stay here. I want to discuss your grades," he said, looking into my glaring eyes.

"Sorry, my friend James is waiting for me. I need to go," I said, looking straight into his eyes with a sweet smile on my face, stressing more on the word "friend," and I saw how his jaw clenched. She wanted to spend time with him, and it increased my jealousy.I walked out of his office in fast steps as I felt his heated gaze on me. I started running, with tears threatening to fall. Before I could reach the exit, my hand was grabbed and I was pushed against the wall.

"Let me go; someone will see us," I said as he pressed his hard body against mine. I tried to push him with my hands, but he pinned them on either side of my head.

"I don't care," he said, pressing his body closer to mine, making my protesting movement. He buried his face in my neck possessively.

"Leave me and go spend your time with Miss. Hans," I said in anger and pure jealousy while looking into his amber eyes as he moved his face to look at me. He smirked knows I'm burning from the inside.

"You will go nowhere with that James," he said, burning in anger, ignoring my words, making me look at him with a scowl.

"Professor, leave me. It's inappropriate of you to ask me not to see my friend. You have no right on me," I said in the same mocking voice, and his jaw clenched even more.

"The professor doesn't, but I have every fucking right to you as your husband, my little bride," he said with a smirk on his face.

Yes, you heard it right. I'm married to my maths professor.

"From now on, you're no longer Ariadne. Your name is Isabelle Carstairs and you will marry Prince Rowan."

"But I'm Ariadne, not Lady Isabelle. I'm an abomination. An Otsayak," I protested, touching the mark on my neck. "I can't pretend to be a werewolf."

Dressed in clothes that were not hers, finery that belonged to a noble, Ariadne Sand, a slave, outcast and Otsayak becomes the hidden substitute bride for Alpha Prince Rowan.

Alpha Prince Rowan, the dejected and disgraced prince that has been cast away since he became a cripple, has never opened up his heart before. When the soft spoken and caring Ariadne comes to him, pretending to be his arranged bride, the lady Isabelle and nurtures him back to good health and he becomes strong again. A passionate and forbidden romance blossoms between them.

Otsayaks are not considered human, they are seen as an abomination and Ariadne has been a slave to her identity and the mark distinguishing her as an abomination for years.

Now the substitute bride has become a threat and with every ounce of recognition she gets, her secret threatens to topple everything down.

Besides, Raymond - who works in the same company as David - fell in love with Ella from the first meeting. Raymond openly pursues Ella even though she knows she is married. Raymond and Maria team up, separating David and Ella.

How will their troubled love story unfold? Will they be happy?

I will keep fucking you until you are pregnant with my child.
He tied my hands and legs apart and tied them to the four corners of the bed, and slowly rolled up his shirt sleeves.
His horsewhip slid across my pussy.
I felt my pussy getting wet, and water was dripping down my thighs.
He whipped me lightly with the riding whip and ordered me: "Tell me. What do you want?"


When I discovered that the man I had a one-night stand with—the same man who fired me—was Damian Cavalieri, a terrifying mafia boss, it was already too late.
I lost my job, was betrayed by my boyfriend, and lost the money for my sister's treatment.
Just when I had nowhere to turn, Damian offered me a deal: become his surrogate bride. He would pay off all my debts.
I didn't know why he chose me, but I understood that as long as I gave him an heir, I could save my sister's life.
I agreed.
The contract was simple—no sex, no feelings, just business. But Damian broke his own rules with his own hands.

When Ava was forced to marry her stepsister Dora's impoverished fiancé Ethan, they never met. But the groom turned out to be a super hot billionaire.
Dora snatched her wedding dress and wanted to be the bride again. Ava sat among the guests. Ethan, however, walked straight towards Ava and said to her, "You are the only one I want to marry."

She was a ghost in the underworld, her name whispered, her power feared, her face unknown. A queen in shadows, built from blood, betrayal, and vengeance. No one knew if she was a man or woman, only that the kingdoms of crime bent their knees when she spoke.

But when she stepped out of her “safe place” to embrace the parents she never knew, she didn’t find love but found betrayal. Sold like currency into a marriage meant to strengthen weak alliances.

Before the altar, she is stolen. Not rescued. Stolen. By the ruthless Mafia Prince, her sworn enemy. The man who holds the world in his fist, who sees her not as a bride but as the final weapon to end a blood feud that carved their destinies.

What begins as revenge soon spirals into obsession, into fire, into the one forbidden truth neither can escape;
They were made for each other, in blood, in war, in love.

But love in a world of blood has a price. And the price is everything.

Fake crown. Wrong bride. Real mate bond....And one very unplanned pup.

Leanna
I was the princess’s shadow—her stand-in for speeches, signatures, and, apparently, the Alpha’s impostor bride.
Cedric Raine needed a bride to end a war. I needed to survive.
The crown was fake. The name wasn’t mine.
But every touch on mating night? Terrifyingly real.
He marked me, mated me, made me believe I wasn’t just a lie.
Until the real princess came back.

And he locked me in a cell.
So I left—with his heir.
Six years later, I don’t wear crowns—I build business empires.
Now I return to his palace in heels, diamonds, and zero regrets.
And when he sees my little boy with his eyes?
The crown won’t be the only thing at my feet.

Cedric
She wasn’t the princess. I knew it the second she stepped into my court.
But her scent, her fire, the way she trembled in my arms—that was real.

I kept her because I couldn’t let her go.
Even when the truth came for us, I chose silence to protect her.
Now she’s back—with a new name, her own kingdom, and a child that looks just like me.
And I’d burn mine down just to have her again.

"Let's get married here, today. I'll give you a home, a family, and after you give me an heir, you'll walk away with a hundred million dollars."
After being humiliated on her wedding day and finding her fiancé in bed with his secretary, Angel's world shattered. With nowhere to go and no one to turn to, she found herself standing before Salvatore, a man desperate for a bride to fulfill his dying grandfather's wish.
A contract marriage. One year. One heir. No love.
But as the days turn into nights filled with tension and stolen glances, the line between obligation and desire begins to blur. Beneath Salvatore's cold demeanor lie secrets, a vengeful ex, and enemies determined to destroy them both.
What started as a fake marriage soon becomes a dangerous game of passion and power — and the price of falling in love might be far higher than either of them ever imagined.

HOPE BONNARRO
She is the daughter of the most influential Capo of the Bianchi Mafia, the organization that rules the American underworld. She grew up following three rules: she cannot fall in love, marry, or draw attention. In exchange, she was granted the freedom to study Medicine at university. An attack on the convoy that protects her puts Hope’s life in danger when her brother is seriously injured and her father is unable to rescue her.

MICHAEL BIANCHI
He is the next Boss and needs an alliance with Capo Bonnarro. When the opportunity arises, he makes an offer: he will rescue Hope in exchange for her hand in marriage. With no other option, Bartolomeu Bonnarro agrees to the deal.
Michael skillfully rescues his future bride and takes her to the safety of his territory, keeping the marriage arrangement secret at Bartolomeu’s request.

Hope knows Michael is hiding something from her, and while trying to uphold the promises she made to her family—hiding the terrible secrets that could destroy the Bonnarros—she must deal with Michael Bianchi’s irresistible charm and dark humor. A seductive man who has no intention of waiting for Bartolomeu to tell his daughter the truth before tasting his bride’s sweet lips.

Amid secrets, fights, seduction, mysteries, and the slow building of a relationship that could turn into something more, the enemies pursuing Hope do not rest.
Michael Bianchi is willing to sweep across the country, destroying anyone who dares lay a hand on his bride, for Hope Bonnarro is untouchable to the world—and belongs only to him.

"You say it's not possible to have feelings for me before the wedding," Zephyr said again, his voice roughening, "yet your body language always seems to say the opposite when I'm close."
He reached out slowly, picking a strand of golden hair and toying with it.
"Like now," He continued seductively, tucking the hair in its rightful place before deliberately letting his fingers brush against the back of my ear.
I took in a shuddering breath at the contact, my gaze dropping to his lips before darting away shyly.

Zephyr tipped my chin up, making me look into his eyes.
"You're always so quick to run your mouth," he scolded, teasing me by slowly running his thumb over my bottom lip. "But right now you're quiet. Why is that, Wildflower, mmm?"
"Stay back, Zeph." I said weakly, his name coming out in a whisper.
My eyes drifted to his lips again.
"I don't think you want me to," he said, lowering downward till his lips were close to my ear. "Why… so… quiet. Mm?"

Today Ethan was going to come back and I was so excited and relieved to have some company finally. I was really looking forward to bond with him.
As soon as I heard his footsteps, I started walking towards the car. From the corner of my eyes, I looked at Nick and I was correct. He was gorgeous in his light blue shirt.
I wonder if he had any other color in his wardrobe other than blue, black, and grey. Well, I wasn't complaining either. I am not fond of dressing my man in pink and orange colors.
My man !?
I rolled my eyes at myself.

Find out in this sweet romance.

Ariella Hayes was seventeen years old when she learned that grief had a taste.
It tasted like burnt sugar. Like the batch of croissants she’d left in the oven too long the morning after the funeral, too numb to hear the timer, too broken to care. Like the coffee, she drank black now because adding cream felt like a luxury she didn’t deserve. Grief tasted like everything and nothing.
Mostly nothing.
She was thinking about this at 4:47 a.m., lying in bed and staring at the water stain on her ceiling that resembled a reaching hand. She’d been awake since three. She was always awake from three, that gray hour when the world was silent enough to hear all the things she tried not to think about during the day.
Like how it was her fault.
How she should have been the one in the car.
How her mother hadn’t really looked at her in six months.
The timer screamed, and Ariella dragged herself out of bed, moving through the apartment like a ghost, past her mother’s bedroom door, down the narrow stairs to Hayes & Daughter Bakery. The name felt like a lie now. Her grandmother was gone. Ethan was gone. Soon the bakery would be gone too, and it would just be Ariella and her mother in an empty building, haunting the space where their family used to be.

She is about to embark on a life-altering journey as she enters a contract marriage with billionaire heir Aiden Frost, all in a bid to rescue her family’s struggling bakery. As they step into this pretend union, neither of them anticipates how their arrangement will evolve into a haven, where they might uncover feelings that challenge their initial intentions.

Ethan Blake never thought that his best friend — the charming, fearless, openly gay Adrian Cross — had a secret bigger than anyone could have ever dreamed of. Adrian was not just the star player of the school. he was a werewolf Alpha, destined to lead a pack torn between allegiance and insurrection.

When Adrian reveals his concealed love for Ethan, all that Ethan has believed in love, friendship, and himself crumbles. The love becomes stronger, but danger erupts at once. Another Alpha, Marcus Hale, is interested in Ethan — not because he loves him, but to make him a pawn to overthrow Adrian's grip on power.

Now Ethan is in a realm of claws, blood, and fate where passion slays and love may be the price of life. Secrets are revealed, and he has to confront the toughest reality: his gay best friend is not only an Alpha… he's the Alpha, and their destinies are sealed forever.
Will Ethan embrace the love that scares him, or will pack traditions tear them apart?

I spent eighteen years as the West family’s “fake heiress.”

When their real daughter came back, they shoved me into a storage room, made me take the blame for her scandals, and even cursed me at Grandpa’s funeral for being ungrateful.

Then sixteen Maybachs arrived to take me home.

Only then did they learn the truth—I was the long-lost daughter of the wealthiest family in the world.

Now the Wests want forgiveness. Too bad. I want them ruined.

But the man who pinned me against a bathroom sink after I defused a bomb only smiled and whispered, “Would you rather your brother walk in and find you here with a strange man?”

Worse, his face was hidden in my grandfather’s secret keepsake.

So who is he really… and what did Grandpa die trying to hide?

Kalani is a college senior with a packed schedule and zero time for dating, partying, or anything remotely fun. But all of that changes on Halloween night when she unwittingly becomes the target of a cruel prank—one that sees her offered up as the vi-r-gi-nal bride of the town’s most infamous legend: the Prince of Darkness.

Convinced it’s nothing more than a ridiculous urban myth, Kalani sets out to prove it wrong. But when the Prince of Darkness himself shows up to claim his bride, her world is turned upside down.

Suddenly, she’s married to a dangerously alluring and mysterious vampire. As she struggles to adjust to her new reality—including the whole undead, immortal wife thing—Kalani realizes that becoming a vampire has awakened an eerie new ability: she can see the dead.

When the ghost of her murdered sister-in-law appears, begging for justice, Kalani is thrust into a deadly mystery that forces her to dig into the shadows of her husband’s past. The deeper she goes, the more she begins to question everything—including the man she’s bound to for eternity.

"So little princess, what do you do for fun?" he asked as he began eating too.
"Nothing much really, but I do love swimming and skydiving a lot, and what about you?" I continued eating my food as I asked.
"I love playing the piano, swimming and…" he drew closer and then licked the stain of food off the side of my lips.
"And of course, looking at my gorgeous wife." He smiled softly.
I couldn't help but blush, so I just faced my food, he didn't move from that spot, and just kept watching me until I was done.
I finished my meal and was about to get up, and then he suddenly dragged me to his chair and carried me up on his lap.
"Now, where do you think you're going, huh? I patiently waited for you to be done with your meal, so it's time for mine," He whispered in my ear, gliding his hands up my legs.

"You took everything from me."
Simone Alejandro was supposed to have her perfect fairytale ending—marrying the man she loved, uniting two powerful mafia families, and living a life of luxury. But in a single gunshot, her world shattered. Her father, the feared Don Alejandro, lay dying in her arms. Her fiancé ran like a coward. And she? She was captured.
By him.
"You're nothing but a spoiled princess playing pretend."
Nicholas Stravkos is a man who doesn’t ask twice. Cold, ruthless, and deadly, he stormed into Simone’s wedding and left a trail of blood in his wake. He expected to find a delicate little princess, begging for her life. Instead, he found fire—a woman too fierce, too proud, and too furious to break.
"Kill me, or let me go. But I will never bow to you."
Now, locked in his mansion, Simone refuses to be just another pawn in his game. She wants revenge. She wants answers. She wants out.
But Nicholas isn’t planning to let her go.
Not yet.
Not when she’s the most thrilling challenge he’s ever faced.
Not when she makes his blood heat with every sharp-tongued retort.
Not when she looks at him like she’s ready to destroy him… or kiss him.
"Careful, princess. Keep pushing me, and you might just like where it leads."
In a world of power, betrayal, and forbidden temptation, Simone must decide—fight against the man who stole her life or give in to the dark pull of the devil in Armani.

"The condoms. You think I wouldn't figure it out? You tampered with them."
Her voice was brittle, her eyes filled with a contempt that could have flayed me alive.
I didn't deny it. I couldn't even muster the pretense of surprise. She was right. I had punctured them. Methodically. Deliberately.
I sat on the edge of the bed, the smoke from my cigarette curling into the tense air. "I don't regret it," I said, my voice rough.
"You're insane," she whispered, backing away until she hit the wall. "You trapped me."
"I kept you," I corrected, standing up and closing the distance between us. She trembled, but not from cold. It was pure, raw fear. "I tried everything else to make you stay, Elena. Money, gifts, threats... nothing worked. You were always looking at the door. Always looking for him."
I reached out, trapping her between my arms against the cold plaster. "So I gave you a reason to stay that you can't run from."
Her hand moved instinctively to her flat stomach. "I haven't decided if I'm keeping it."
The air in the room dropped ten degrees. I grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at the darkness swirling in my eyes. "That is my child, Elena. And you will never, ever take him away from me."
Sweet Reminder: This is a fluffy romance disguised as a dark romance.

I'm Aurora, an unmated commoner, an inferior bloodline.

My parents taught me a lot of things growing up, but the most important one is never piss off a royal. They run the world, they make the rules, and they are brutal when they don’t get exactly what they want, especially an unmated commoner girl.

Most royals fuck commoner girls for fun, knowing we couldn’t possibly fight back. Some of them do it to get their release and then kill them, leaving behind no chance for an heir that is a half-breed. I’ve never seen a commoner female return from the palace.

There aren’t many of us left in my pack, but my alpha has managed to convince the royal warriors that there aren’t any unmated females in his pack and if there were, he would gladly hand them over I’m unmated, only a year and half away from turning twenty to feel my mate. I pray to Moon Goddess that I need the protection of a mate.

Until that day, a tall, brute man walks into my house like he was invited in. I tremble while he grins.

He is a Royal.

Richard will always be mine, Elena," The corner of her lips curled up into a sly smirk. Advancing closer, she leaned in to whisper against my ear softly. "Even if I have to kill you to have him to myself, I'll do it."

To marry Damian Thorne, I almost died thirteen times.

Over three years, I planned twelve weddings. Each one left me bleeding.

The first time: a runaway truck crashed into the bridal boutique, crushing my right leg.

The second time: the church ceiling collapsed during rehearsal, leaving me broken and bloodied.

The third time: poisoned champagne at the reception nearly killed me as I foamed at the mouth.

Manhattan's elite whispered that I was cursed.

But I still loved him desperately.

Until the thirteenth time. That bloody rainy night, three thugs cornered me in an alley and stabbed me seven times—two to the chest, three to the abdomen, two to the back. I lay dying in my own blood, yet somehow survived.

"Mr. Thorne, she almost really died this time... Maybe we should stop? If your grandfather finds out..."

"We can't stop," Damian said wearily. "Her father saved my life. Grandfather is hell-bent on me marrying her. But DAMN IT, I love Selena, not her."

I trembled as I touched the bandages covering my wounds, tears falling silently.
