Sold. Caged. Owned.

Isabella Romano never believed in love, but she knew freedom—until the night she was auctioned off to Giovanni Donatelli, the most feared mafia boss in Italy. Cold, calculating, and merciless, he doesn’t believe in love either. He only believes in power. And now, he owns her.

But Giovanni doesn’t just want to control her. He wants to break her. To consume her. His touch is possessive, his words a whispered promise of pain and pleasure, and every stolen breath between them burns with something far more dangerous than hate—lust.

Trapped in his world of violence and sin, Isabella vows to fight him, to resist the heat that coils in her blood every time he’s near. But when secrets unravel and betrayals strike from the shadows, the only thing deadlier than Giovanni Donatelli himself… is the way she craves him.

In this game of power, passion, and lies, surrender is not an option. But with each passing night, Isabella begins to wonder—what if she already has?

They say debt is a chain. Mine is a noose—wrapped around my neck by the man I once kissed.

I was Scarlet Blair: wealth, beauty, a life polished to perfection. Then my father’s gambling addiction drowned us in red ink. And the price of his mistakes? Me.

That night at the club, I thought Roman was just a stranger—cold eyes, a jawline sharp enough to cut, hands that felt like sin. I didn’t know he was the king of the city’s underworld. The man my father owed $3 million. The monster who’d come to collect.

Now I live in his penthouse prison. Every door locked. Every move watched. He calls it “protection.” I call it captivity. When his grandfather demands we marry to secure his empire? It’s just another chain. A contract. Six months. No feelings. No attachments.

He thinks I’ll break. That obedience is my only option. But I’ve got claws under my silk dresses.

I’ll prove I’m no puppet he can pull strings on.

Warning: Contains themes of forced proximity, possessive obsession, and moral darkness.

“N-No… I didn’t do anything.”
“I will fucking kill you, woman! I’ve been so tired of your stupidity. I told you not to talk to strangers—”
“P-Please, don’t hurt me. My… My body is still aching—”
“Shut up!” his voice roared inside the room as he lifted my collar, pulling me near him. “Are you still gonna lie? I saw you talk to that man—”
“I… I didn’t say anything,” I managed to reply amidst my fear. And at this moment, I knew that he would play and punish me again.

Helen Emerson lived in the dark for a decade since her father died due to a car accident. When her father was alive, she was treated like a princess, but when he died, she was treated like a rug. Not until she met Lucius Carter—the man people fear the most because of his rare green eyes and what he’s capable of. However, they don’t know that the man has many secrets aside from having his scary green eyes.
He is a beast.
However, it doesn’t change that he was the one who saved her. She lived with him and didn’t expect that she will fell for him. Until one day, she finds out his deepest secret, which has something to do with her.
Will her love remain, or will she do her best to kill the beast?

I’m Elena. My mother died when I was 10. After that, my dad married my mom’s friend, who was his secretary too.
And now I’m lying on her son’s arm. I never thought he would do it with me. Paul was on me while I was staring out the window of the car. He was quietly sleeping. I was stroking his hair and singing a song that had previously been recited by Mom. Suddenly, the surroundings lit up slowly.
It was going to be dawn soon. I put my voice down. He was still clutching me tightly in his sleep. I attempted to loosen his grip.
In anguish, I closed my eyes. My lower back and lower body were in excruciating pain. I gently put his head on the seat and smiled at him. I softly called his name, “Paul.”
“You know how much I love you."
“But now it’s irrelevant to me,” I said as I stroked his hair.
“Are you sure you love me?”
“Then you gave me the ability to hurt you, too.”
I kissed him on the lips right after saying. I got out of the car after giving him my farewell kiss. I didn’t feel any pain. The wound on my back had already turned black and crimson. I made my way to my room.

What could a cold-hearted conqueror want from a weak half-blood with nothing to her name except an unending family debt?

Alpha Hayden Slade has accomplished almost everything he wants for his pack, except one. For a cursed Alpha counting the days to his death, his greatest challenge is providing an heir for his pack before his demise. But what could be worse than the curse of untimely death? Being mated to a weak half-blood that has no idea of her identity. A weakling that can never be his Luna.

He quickly offers her a deal to bear him an heir, not wanting any form of attachment to a half-human, half-wolf. Catching feelings wasn't a part of the deal, but a big surprise awaits him when he discovers she holds the key to a possibility he'd long given up on.

Aria always believed she was just human. Her father's constant gambling habits put them in debt to a notorious loan shark and they must find a way to pay off the large sum within a short period.

When an arrogant Hayden Slade comes into her life with an offer to bear a child for him, she is torn between two choices; agree to his offer or sell her body to the loan sharks.

Aria is swept into a world she never thought existed. She is beyond desperate to gain her mate's trust and become a part of his pack, but she is totally clueless that the mate bond can bring the most heartless man to his knees, even a man as powerful as Alpha Slade.

One thing she does not know is that this dangerous man is infact, the anonymous stranger whose letters had comforted her during her bad days.

Now, with Alcot's scarred face and heart, his dominating mother, a power thirsty luna he is married to and an obsessed admirer, Mae would have to choose between fighting for her heart's desires or keeping safe and alive in this blood-thirsty tower.

From the moment she was born, she was an anomaly: a wolfless daughter of an Alpha, heir to a pack she could never truly lead. She was destined to rule with her best friend and fated mate at her side, but he shattered her world by rejecting her and siding with tradition. Her heartbreak and humiliation were absolute, leaving her a leader without a pack, an outcast in her own home.

Their paths cross on the edge of her territory, a chance meeting that awakens a mate bond they both believed was impossible. For her, the bond is a lifeline, a glimmer of hope that she can find a place where she belongs. For Reese, it is a source of confusion and terror, a painful echo of a past he desperately wants to forget about.
As their relationship tentatively grows, they realize they are bound by a common enemy: Kaelen. His thirst for power threatens to swallow not only her pack but all the territories around them. To fight him, she must embrace her unique strength and prove that a leader's power isn't about shifting, but about courage and resilience. As for Reese, he must learn to trust again and let his new mate heal the scars of his past. Their fight for justice becomes a fight for their second chance at love, and they must face down the forces that shattered their worlds to create a new destiny for themselves.

Connor looked up at me then, his eyes burning with an intense amber fire. "Say it again," he commanded, pressing one thick finger slowly inside me. "My name."
"Connor," I repeated, the word catching in my throat as he curled his finger, making stars burst behind my eyelids. "Please."
I, the princess of the vampire court, was begging a werewolf. The thought should have horrified me, but as he added a second finger alongside the first, stretching me deliciously, shame was the furthest thing from my mind.
He crawled up my body, his movements fluid and predatory, his erection pressing hard against my thigh. I reached between us, wrapping my fingers around his length, feeling him pulse in my grip. His breath hissed between his teeth, his forehead dropping to rest against mine.
"I've imagined this," he confessed roughly as my hand stroked him, "but reality puts fantasy to shame."
I guided him to my entrance, my body trembling with anticipation. "Show me," I whispered, abandoning the last of my reservations. "Show me what you've imagined."

"Hey, what are you doing? It was an accident," Cheska tried to reason while pushing him away. But she knew her push was too weak, and her hands stopped moving.

"Perhaps I can give you a minor example of how I plan to punish you if you take offense towards me," Matthew said, focusing his gaze on her lips. He did not hide the lust that was clearly reflected in his eyes. But instead of being scared, Cheska felt excitement.

'Damn you, Cheska! Why aren't you doing anything? Why are you waiting to taste his lips?' Her mind screamed, but her body remained frozen, waiting for his kiss.

—*—
Cheska's been waiting for her mate for a year now. And when she found him, her world crumbles because the mate given by the goddess is none other than Matthew De Silva— the alpha of the pack and her STEPBROTHER!

And when mine comes out…

''You are not just a human, but you are weak and also fragile, so different from my type.'' He yelled and pressed her to the wall while his wolf howled against it, but he totally ignored him and glared straight into her eyes, which held fear and pains.
''I will never accept you as my mate, not because you are a human, but you are totally not my type, and I love someone else and will make her my mate.'' He yelled those words in a great rage which made her knees quivered with fear.

Alpha Eric hated and rejected his mate the very day he set his eyes on her, and would do anything to get her out of his life, but everything changed when he met her in a BDSM club and had to disguise himself in a mask.
PS: In this book werewolves lived among humans and their existence are not known to all.
PS: This book has high rate of sex ,specifically dominant and submissive displays.

This book has a dark tone, as it's a reverse harem novel featuring themes of betrayal, surprises, and rape scenes. If you are uncomfortable with these elements, I recommend not reading this book.

A young woman who is unaware of her own power unknowingly attracts the affection of five mobsters. It's not intentional on her part, as she doesn't realize the feelings are mutual, given her own attraction to them.

These five men are completely possessive and infatuated with her. She can't deny her feelings for them, even though she is just an ordinary maid.

However, to them, she is more than just a maid.

She is their woman, their princess.

Freya loved the wrong Alpha for eight years. She gave him her body, her loyalty, her soul—and in return, he kissed her with someone else's name. When she finally walked away, she believed she'd found peace—and love—in Silvano, the Alpha who saved her. But years later, on her birthday, silence greeted her again.
“Bella,” she whispered to her daughter, “did you forget Mommy’s birthday?”
“Not now, Mommy. I'm making a gift for Aunt Aurora. Daddy helped.”
The name landed like a wound reopening.
Freya once survived being ‘the other woman’. Now, fate flipped the roles—and the silence, late-night absences, and missed calls feel all too familiar. As betrayal knocks again, she must choose: bury herself in heartbreak once more—or rise, not for love, but for herself.
When even your mate forgets your worth, how many times must you walk away before you stop coming back?
This time—maybe for the last time—she won’t look back.

On Christmas Eve, my life took a turn, a negative turn.
My boyfriend, the one I had loved for three years, was cheating on me with his cousin. The woman I had spent three Christmas Eves celebrating with. The same person who had always cheered me up whenever I was stressed. How can someone be so two-faced?


"There's nothing we need to talk about. Everything seems clear to me, Raphael," I said.
"What you saw that day was a misunderstanding. It was nothing." He lied with determination.
"You, naked, wrapped around Rachel, your cousin, was a misunderstanding? What do you take me for? A fool?" I spat, unleashing all the rage inside me.
"Amy, I'm not lying to you. You misunderstood what you saw. If you had waited, I would have explained everything." He pressed on, trying to make me believe him.
"Fine. Explain it to me. Tell me why you and Rachel were naked, tangled up together on the same bed," I countered.
"It was a rehearsal, a rehearsal for a sex scene she wants to act in after the holidays," Raphael said shamelessly.
A smile flickered on my lips as I stared at him. This man had the audacity to lie to my face.
"Get out, Raphael. Get out of my sight," I commanded.

He’s my ex’s brother.
A terrifying mob boss with a past too dark to share.
And when he finds out I’m pregnant, he becomes something else, too:
The husband I never asked for.

Kolya Uvarov crashed into my life at a funeral and saved me from a mega-creep.
Classic meet-cute, right?
Not exactly—because it was his brother we were burying.
A.k.a., my ex-boyfriend.
A.k.a., the man who hit me, stormed out the door, then died in a car crash before I could ever tell him about our baby.

But Kolya knows the secrets I’m hiding.
Kolya has a plan for how to handle them.
And Kolya just leaned down, smelling like vanilla and sin, and whispered seven little words in my ear.
From now on, you belong to me.

“What do you mean? Will you be protecting me for all your life?”
“If you would allow me to do that, I will.”
“But why would you do such a trouble?”
“I am a straightforward and honest man. So, I think I like you. I wanted you to be my mate. But I will not force you if you don’t like it. I will only ask for you to repay me for saving you and protecting you.”

My eyes widened. I started to feel uneasy. I feel like the man in front of me will change and begin to show his true colors.

“How can I repay you?” I mumbled.

Reule smile looks like he was a demon about to collect his payment. At that moment, I began to question which is worse, him or Conri.

“I cannot help it. I am a man with needs like Conri. So, I would like to have a night with you, just to taste you.”

I wanted to scream and run. What have I gone into?

“Alpha! Alpha please! Don't hurt me. Please, let me go.” I begged him, but he didn't stop twisting my arm.

“Let you go! So you want me to let you go so easily. You make a mistake, you get punished.” He whispered in my ear, yet his words were so wicked, it sent shivers to my spine.

“Please, alpha. I will behave from now on. I will not try to run. Please, don't do this. You are hurting me.” I begged him again. But he had no mercy.

I watched his smirk turn into something twisted and mischievous. I screamed in pain when he broke my forearm. He broke the bone right in the middle, splitting it in half. “You betray me, and I will make your life a fucking living hell.” He growled in my ear before he pushed me on the ground and walked away.

(Note! For those who want to lecture me over this novel being disgusting, don't judge the book without reading it.)

"If you keep biting your lip like that I won't be able to contain myself." I could feel the warmth of his breath fan over my lips, making me hungry to feel them against me.
I bit my lip again as my way of permitting him. He gave me a sexy smirk before he crashed his lips against mine. His hands gripped my hips, lifting me and placing me on the kitchen island. I parted my legs allowing his torso between them as he grabbed my bottom while parting my lips with his tongue.
I let him explore my mouth with a soft moan. His hands left my rear, traveling up my thighs, pushing my dress up along the way. He ran his finger over my dampening slit, through my underwear.
"You're so wet for me already." He smirked against my lip before biting it lightly. I moaned again at the pleasure his touches and words were bringing me. "I want to know what you taste like, Rose."
