Nineteen-year-old Mila has no room for dreams. She only has room for survival.

In a cramped Brooklyn apartment, Mila plays a dangerous game of pretend. She pretends to her younger sisters that they aren't three days away from the lights going out. She pretends to her exhausted parents that she doesn’t mind being the "third parent." And she pretends to herself that the scholarship to the city's most elite university will be her ticket out of the gutter.

But the elite world doesn't welcome outsiders; it devours them.

Enter Nathaniel Salvatore. Cold, untouchable, and heir to a shipping empire that owns half the city. To Nate, Mila is a "fixture"—a charity case whose presence at his university is an insult to his legacy. He sets out to make her regret every step she takes on his campus.

But when a devastating accident binds their lives together, Nate's cruelty turns into something much more dangerous: obsession.

As Mila’s parents descend into a world of gambling debts and disappearances, leaving her to protect her sisters alone, Nate makes an offer she can't refuse. He will pay for their safety. He will pay for the lights to stay on. But the price is Mila herself.

From the gritty streets of Brooklyn to the mahogany-lined libraries of the elite, Mila finds herself trapped between two worlds. One man wants to save her, another wants to own her, and Mila is just trying to survive the man who wants both.

In a world where everything has a price, what happens when the Heir decides to claim the only thing he can't buy?

When Kian comes back to win her back, can she trust him again, or will the wounds from his rejection keep them apart for good?

After a drunken one-night stand, I made the biggest mistake of my life—I slept with my boss, Alexander Brown. He's my father's business partner, a man who terrified me with just an icy stare.

I fled in a panic, but a resume I left behind led him to the wrong person—my cousin, Elodie. While I lived in fear and guilt, she seized the opportunity to take my place, accepting the marriage he offered out of a sense of responsibility.

What no one knew was that our reckless night had already sown its seed. I was pregnant.

Believing he was committed to her, I planned to secretly get an abortion and disappear from his world, even inventing a "fiancé" to fend off his growing suspicions.

But Alexander was no fool, and his sharp instincts began to tear through my web of lies.

He could never have imagined that the timid, overlooked intern he barely noticed was not only the woman from that passionate night, but also the mother of his child.

Little wonder that every nurse had fancied herself in love with him. Little wonder that my solitary night with him had meant so much. I had known him as a man with a heart as large as the world, and had thought his ability to care would span an ocean.

As the black sheep of the family second son of a Dragon lord, Zachary Dragan has gained a reputation in the art of seduction, but when his wicked ways result in scandal, he joins the dragon army to redeem himself. On the battlefield, he proves courageous … until he is seriously wounded. Returning home to recover, he discovers he can't remember the angelic beauty who arrives at his doorstep, his baby nestled in her arms.

Calliope Dawns, a human woman, will risk everything to protect the son of the dashing dragon soldier she once knew and admired. When Zac offers to do the honorable thing, she is determined that one of the most notoriousDragons will desire her and no other. But Callie fears that what began as an innocent deception could destroy her dreams and their blossoming love if Zac ever learns the scandalous truth…

Everywhere becomes silent as every single pair of eyes turn to us and although I'm used to attention, it's never been in this type of situation and I find myself wondering how to handle it.

All worries fly out the window though when Hunter grabs my hand after locking his car. Murmurs erupt in every angle of the school ground at his actions and I glance at Hunter only to see a look of determination on his face.
What is he up to?

He suddenly turns me towards him and traps me against the car door.

"You're right, we need to clear one misunderstanding"he states his breath fanning my face.
"And what would that be?" I breathe out already dazed by him.

Get a grip Daisy, you're out in public!

"That you are mine and all other boys can fuck off" He answers hoarsely just as he finally closes the space between us and takes my lips for a world-rocking kiss.

What will happen when two opposite characters that hate each other collide? The result is bound to be catastrophic.

"You have no choice, Amelia. Marry me or lose your life." He told me, smirking. I froze.
"Wha-at?" I stammered.
"You put us in this mess. The only way out is to marry me. I'll pay you off after six months." I fell silent. "Deal?" I nodded, "Yes, I'll marry you."


To Amelia Ross, one drunk night with the billionaire CEO, Hunter, was more than enough to shatter her life. To Hunter Chase , the only person who could help him fix his negative reputation was the woman he hated the most. What happens next when he forces her to marry him in order to save his business? Will they draw the line between love and hatred?

When Atlas Sinclair, the rebellious heir to a billion-dollar empire, is forced into a corporate marriage to secure his family's business, he expects a meek, easy-to-control partner. Instead, he gets Kieran Laurent—his father’s biggest business rival’s son, a self-made billionaire with a reputation as a ruthless dealmaker.

Their arranged engagement is purely strategic—meant to unite two of the most powerful business dynasties. But behind closed doors, their battle for dominance begins. Atlas refuses to be controlled, and Kieran has no intention of playing the obedient fiancé. Sparks fly, tempers clash, and their boardroom battles turn into dangerously intimate encounters.

As the wedding date looms, their rivalry transforms into a high-stakes game of power and seduction. But when betrayals from their past threaten everything, will they fight for their business empires—or for each other?

"I, Alpha Amon, reject you as my mate."
​With those cold words, Alpha Amon shattered Seraph’s world. Accused of a crime she didn't commit and framed by the woman trying to steal her place, Seraph was given a choice: execution or banishment.
​Broken, humiliated, and secretly carrying the Alpha’s heir, Seraph chose to run. She disappeared into the raging Black River, leaving Amon to believe she was dead.
​Five years later, Seraph has built a quiet life in the human world under a false name, hiding her son, Leo, from the wolf world that rejected them. But fate is cruel. When Amon walks into the hotel where she works, the mate bond reignites instantly.
​He thinks she is a ghost. He thinks she is a traitor. But then he sees the little boy with his eyes and his temper standing behind her legs.
​Now, Amon doesn't just want answers. He wants his son. And he will burn the world down to get him.
​Can Seraph protect her child from the man who broke her heart? Or will the secret she kept be the very thing that destroys them both?

The first day of school…actual school, and the jitters were kicking her tail. Though not in the literal sense.
For thirteen years, she’d been homeschooled at the behest of her mother. And now, after all of this time not being permitted around kids her age, unless she was serving them at her mother’s Inn and diner or the packhouse, she had to attend school with them; her...the outcast of Mystic Cove.
Taking deep breaths, Nel obsessively looked into the mirror, the girl’s nerves practically destroying her from the inside out. Though, it wasn’t like she wasn’t known throughout town anyway. Her rich brown skin, exuberant red hair, and verdant eyes made sure of that.


“Are you ready for your Ascension?”
The Ascension was what the wolves would call the ceremony of a young alpha coming, officially, into his own. It was usually carried out on one’s eighteenth birthday, and on this day, an inhuman and their beastly counterpart will officially become one soul. It is then that their senses are heightened and only grow from that point. It’s also on this day that one is awakened to their true mate’s scent. It was often that an ascent would find their mate on this day.
Colsin shrugged. “A little nervous, if I’m being honest. Slim pickings in our pack.”
“I want Sara to be my mate,” said Colsin. In truth, Colsin could almost say that he loved Sara, but he knew that it wasn’t a deep-down type of love. If she was in trouble, he’d do his best to get her out of it, but he couldn’t say that he’d move mountains to make sure that Sara was the priority, however.

But will Sara really become Colsin's mate? How will everything change when he meets Nel?

Ever wake up in a hospital bed, memories of your sister's betrayal flooding back? That was me, Victoria Scott, realizing my life was a twisted game.
I was the cherished daughter until Ella, the real heiress, returned. The supposedly innocent sister had nearly ended me. But this time, I've got a second chance.
Reborn, I refused to stick around. I heard my real parents were poor, but I didn't care—I was ready to support them. Then a billionaire claimed I was his daughter...

When Mia’s five-year-old son suddenly collapses, her world begins to fall apart.

The people who should stand beside her turn their backs instead. A husband who treats her like nothing. A family that refuses to help. And time running out for the only person she cannot afford to lose.

With nowhere else to turn, Mia is forced to face the one man she never thought she would see again.

Mason Hayes – a powerful billionaire and hotel magnate. Six years ago, he was the love she walked away from.

When Mason discovers the truth Mia has hidden for years, fury is his first reaction. Yet as he steps in to protect the child who carries his blood, it becomes harder and harder to deny the love he still feels for her.

Now Mason is ready to burn down the world for the woman and child who should have been his all along.

But their path is far from simple. A ruthless husband who refuses to let her go. A family who betrayed her. And a powerful dynasty determined to keep them apart.

Bumping into her ex-boyfriend in the city she fled five years before, model Gwen realizes that she can no longer run from her past. Admitting to billionaire CEO Finn Lane that the child with her is his son, Gwen will do whatever she can to protect her child…and her heart. As Finn fights to discover why Gwen left, breaking his heart, the billionaire will realize that real dangers seek to destroy their love story once again.


She felt her skin burn with the electricity that came from his touch.

How was that even possible?

They had been separated for years, yet she could still feel all the excitement he provoked in her body.
And she could tell that he felt the same way.

The way his eyes checked her every move, the way she could feel like he was seeing through her soul with those green emeralds.

"Tsk. The only thing you're good at is being barbaric and sadistic. That's probably the reason why you haven't found a mate at 24!"
My opponent taunted me after he failed in his 25th challenge.
I was one of the strongest female wolves in the Flower Moon Pack and served as a Gamma. I thought I would be a virgin for the rest of my life, but until that Howling Night...
When I woke up, I was sandwiched between two other naked men.
There were three other men on the floor.
I panicked, there was an intense pain between my legs, I nearly screamed out loud.
Did I give my virginity to five unknown men?!

I stare at him, watching his chest expand.

How is it that someone so strong, so powerful, so dangerous to find become so small when faced with an adversary? The adversary being me.

I see him, knees on the cold tiled floor, his eyes fixated on me in equal parts disbelief. I disconnect my vision from his small form, looking briefly at what I'm wearing.

This morning when I woke up, the sun was shining, snow melting on my front lawn. My kids were sleeping, my husband gone, as usual, working, making money.

Everything was normal except when I woke up this morning, I received a message. This message contained a lot of things I've been waiting to hear but one part, in particular, stood out and made today different. This person on his knees in front of me was the big difference in my day. So when I woke up this morning and decided what I was going to wear I decided I would not wear black because black represented the sign of mourning. I wasn't going to wear white. After all, white represented a sign of new beginnings and not blue.

Blue, well blue was a sign of trust and green with a side of healing so when I woke up this morning I decided I would wear beige, it was an indifferent color something that matched any mood any desire any belief it doesn't necessarily represent anything but nor did it negate anything.

'You know what is so satisfying about killing you?"

'What?" He inquires with that tilt of his mouth and thin lips I have seen a time or two. Many women found this man handsome. sexy even. I was not different, but I knew more than many of them what made him, his colors, the layers that fell away leaving only the middle left and when you looked at it with naked eyes you'd see it was rotten.

I laugh.

'I became a player in this cat and rat game much later. I find it comical that I am the one who gets to catch you, considering there are many people who started in the beginning. What is even funnier is I am the one who would get to kill you."

'You didn't catch me Mrs. Catelli."He says my surname with a pinched face as though he can't bear the sound of it coming from his lips.

'Then what do you oppose I did?"

He smiles, but it is not a nice one. It is filled with the ugliness which has corrupted him over the years.

“I-It ca-can’t be-e G-Grandpa,” I stammered nervously.
“Yes Zoe, it is what you think – Victor is your sixth mate,” he said.
My world seemed to have tumbled upside down with this revelation.
“Oh God! Why did the Moon Goddess give me a mate who was Grandma’s too?” I asked horrified.
“Zoe, everything happens for a reason, child. Never reject your mate. He might be monstrous but you need to find the strength to stay true to the mate bond,” Grandpa said softly.
Zoe was never meant to obey. Born to power and raised in chaos, she and her notorious Shadow Gang ruled Diamond Ville with pranks, secrets, and strength. But one explosive mistake lands them in Asheville Academy—a brutal school for the supernatural elite where silver fences bite and trust is a liability.
When Zoe discovers she’s fated to five powerful, unpredictable mates—each from rival packs—the stakes become deadly. Love was never part of the plan. Neither was betrayal.
Now the Shadow Gang must survive training rooms that break bones, enemies who play nice with knives, and a prophecy that could end everything.
Zoe’s heart might not survive five fates. But the world won’t survive what happens if she rejects them.
Witty, wild, and addictive—every encounter with the Alphas is where danger kisses destiny. A reverse harem Sextuplet Series delves into the chaotic, emotional, and often hilarious lives of Zoe and her six kids—each one as mischievous and unpredictable as their mother. Every book tells a unique story that can be read on its own, but for the full experience.

Reborn for revenge, I’m bound to the Alpha who let me die—and caught in a deadly game with the brother who wants to claim me.


Mallory was born with nothing.
No wolf. No rank. No future. In a cruel wolf pack, she is nothing more than the Luna’s maid—an abused omega, used, beaten, and hated for simply existing.

Then, on the night meant to destroy her, fate changes everything.
She awakens her wolf… and discovers that Alpha Zain, the most powerful man in the pack, is her fated mate.

But fate is cruel.

Zain chooses his pack over her. The Luna marks her for death. And after one forbidden night leaves Mallory pregnant, she is hunted down and left to die with her unborn child.

Death should have been the end.
Instead, it sends her back.

Reborn with every memory of betrayal burned into her soul, Mallory refuses to be weak again. This time, she will survive. She will expose the Luna’s lies. And she will make them all pay.

But revenge turns dangerous when Zain keeps pulling her close… and his brother steps out of the shadows, determined to claim her for himself.

Because Mallory is no longer just a broken omega.
She may be the wolf their world has been waiting for.

For seventeen years, I believed I was nothing, Iris Delta, the unwanted orphan tolerated by a pack that saw me as a burden. The Maxwell quad Alpha heirs made sure I knew my place, tormenting me with cruel words and vicious pranks. I was weak, worthless, invisible.
I was wrong about everything.
On my eighteenth birthday, Alpha Maxwell reveals the truth that changes everything: I'm Seraphina Blackthorne, the last heir of a bloodline thought extinct. My parents didn't abandon me; they were murdered by the Northern Alliance, who believed they'd eliminated every trace of Blackthorne power.
They were wrong, too.
The moment my wolf Diamond awakens, the mate bond snaps into place with the four men who made my life hell. Fin, Brent, Kane, and Liam, my tormentors, are my fated mates, four pieces of one soul that can only be completed by me. Their cruelty wasn't hatred; it was a fractured soul recognising its missing piece and lashing out in fear.
But the Northern Alliance isn't finished. They've come to eliminate the last Blackthorne before I can claim my birthright. What they don't realise is that I'm not just the last heir, I'm the strongest Blackthorne born in three centuries.
When divine justice flows through my veins and ghostly wolf spirits answer my call, they'll learn what happens when you try to destroy something the goddess herself has chosen to protect.
The Blackthorne line has returned. And this time, we're not going down without a fight.

Mia always knew she was as ordinary as a girl could be living a life of bliss along with her mother until the day she died. On her deathbed her mother let her know that she was the illegitimate daughter of the ruling Wolf Clan king of the East. But that was not the end of it all.The curse that was chasing her was because of the baby she was carrying in her womb from her husband about whom she knew very little, except the fact that he worked at the Wolf embassy in the mortal world. Something was not right. The curse could only be evoked if there were any illegal 'blood-ties' formed between the Wolf Clan of the East and Fox Clan of the West. Scared, alone, afraid and running from inevitable doom, the only logical conclusion her mind could come to was that, her wolf was in fact a fox in wolf's hide.

I was his adopted daughter, yet I crawled into his bed.

"A woman delivering herself to my door... guess what a normal man would do?"

The legendary cold-faced Marcus pinned her naked body down, leaving traces of their intimacy all over the villa.

After the pleasure, the man humiliated her in every way possible. "Get out. Get rid of the baby."

Later, Emma vanished completely.

Marcus didn't believe that the woman who loved him to the bone would actually leave him.

Until he saw his pregnant adopted daughter with his own eyes, holding another man's arm, appearing right in front of him...

In a country ruled by vampires, becoming a pet means losing everything—your dignity, your rights, your freedom.
But Aria, with her golden eyes and warm brown skin, ends up as the only pet no one wants to buy. She’s an outsider, treated like a flaw in the system, pushed aside and looked down on her whole life.
Until fate twists.
The vampire prince, Dorian, chooses her—the one girl everyone else rejected.
And from that moment on, Aria’s world turns upside down.

Connor Mitchell and I are the golden couple of our industry. Everyone sees him as the devoted husband, always bringing me soup when I work late into the night.

On our fifth wedding anniversary, he gave me an expensive diamond necklace and posted something sweet on Instagram. The comments were all variations of the same thing: jealousy.

I used to believe it too.

Until I cut my trip to Europe short and got into that SUV. The passenger seat was set at the wrong angle, too far forward for my height. A contact lens case fell out of the sun visor, and neither of us wears contacts.

When I had my cousin pull the dashcam footage and saw him with his arm around some petite girl getting into the car, the truth hit me. My attentive husband, the one who called me every night I was away, had been using my connections and resources to play successful mentor to a twenty-two-year-old intern.

The irony is, he thinks he's gotten away with it. He has no idea I can see right through every move he makes.

Once rot sets into a perfect marriage, no amount of perfume can hide the stench.

"He's not just your son, Olivia—he's the heir to a power greater than any of us. If you run, you’re putting a target on his back—and yours!"

Olivia Sinclair's voice broke as she stepped back, cradling her son. "Stay away from us, Ethan. You’ve lied to me before. How can I trust you now?"

Ethan Cross, billionaire Alpha and the father of her child, met her gaze, his golden eyes filled with unrelenting determination. "Because the moment they find out about him, they’ll tear this world apart to claim him. And I won’t let that happen."

In Silverhaven, secrets are currency, and Olivia has the most valuable one of all: her son Leo, the unacknowledged heir of the Lunar Legacy Pack. For years, she’s stayed hidden, raising him alone. But when Leo’s powers begin to surface, their fragile life shatters.

Ethan, ruthless and enigmatic, storms back into her life, bringing a whirlwind of danger and deception. As rival packs and bloodthirsty rogues close in, Olivia is thrust into a world of dark alliances, forbidden prophecies, and a deadly war for dominance.

But Ethan isn’t the only one with secrets. Olivia’s past holds a truth that could change everything—a legacy that ties her fate to the very prophecy threatening their survival.

“Run all you want, Olivia,” Ethan growls, his voice low and dangerous. “But if you leave, you won’t just lose me. You’ll lose him.”

Before she can respond, the windows shatter. Shadows spill into the room, and an inhuman snarl echoes in the air.

The hunt has begun. And this time, no one will escape unscathed.

“You’re mine now.” His voice was a dark promise.

To save her sister from a brutal marriage, Isabella Romano makes a desperate bargain. But her hero is no knight, he’s Dante Moretti De Luca, the ruthless mafia king known as "Il Diavolo".

Now, Isabella is bound to the devil himself in a marriage of convenience. Trapped in his gilded world of power and violence, she must navigate deadly rivals and her own family’s betrayals. Dante is as controlling as he is dangerously alluring, and the line between protection and possession blurs with every passing day.

As a war ignites on their doorstep, Isabella must confront a terrifying truth: the only man she fears might be the one she cannot survive without. Can she trust the devil to keep her safe… or will his obsession be her ruin?

"I, Xavier Moretti, reject you. A human girl has no place by an Alpha’s side."
Five years ago, those words shattered my world. I was Xavier’s top assistant, his shadow, and secretly his fated mate. But to the billionaire Alpha, I was a liability he couldn't afford.
I fled the city with nothing but a broken heart and a life growing inside me.
Now, I’m back. Not for him, but for my son. Leo is five, he’s brilliant, and he’s starting to shift. I only needed one month of work to pay for the suppressants that would keep him safe. I thought I could hide in the sea of employees at Moretti Global. I was wrong.
One scent. One accidental meeting in the boardroom. And suddenly, the man who threw me away has me pinned against the wall, his wolf howling in recognition.
Xavier wants me back in his bed and under his thumb. But when he discovers the boy with his eyes hiding in my apartment, the game changes. He wants his heir. He wants a second chance.
I signed his "Nanny Contract" to stay close to my son, but as the silver moon rises, I realize the billionaire who rejected me will burn the world down to keep us. But can I ever forgive the Alpha who broke me?
