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.

'Miss Klean, the CEO would like to see you now." The junior secretary said to Varisha Klean with a warm smile and for a strange reason, whatever had caused Varisha to have doubts about this interview seems to have disappeared at this moment. 

After attaining a degree in hotel management at Stanford University, Varisha set to prove to the world that she could make it without their support.

She never got their help when she needed them, anyway.

This was the first step to being the girl she was truly meant to be. 

Her parents separated when she was twelve and the court granted her father full custody of her and her brother because of his influence, even though he was abusive both physically, verbally, and sexually to both of them.

"I would like to say I'm sorry; I haven't been the best version of myself. I am sorry for my inability to communicate effectively, and I know these past few weeks haven't been the best."

"I do not want your apology, Xavier; I want to know why you have changed so much and become someone I barely know. I want to know what happened." She said, staring up at him, "Was my love never enough?" She didn't want to show her vulnerability, but he had always seen it.

"It was always enough," he said as he stepped towards her, crossing into her personal space.

Her heart picked up its pace, and she stared up at him. She could have told him to step back, but she wanted this. "You were always enough. I am sorry if I made you feel like you weren't." He said, and his lips met hers.

Two years after discovering her husband in bed with her best friend on Valentine's Day, Maya Blake has rebuilt her life as a single mother and freelance artist in the charming town of Rosewood Falls. But romance? That door is permanently closed. The betrayal destroyed her trust, and she refuses to risk her heart—or her daughter's happiness—on love again.

Then Dante Rossi moves in next door—tattoo artist, motorcycle enthusiast, and devastatingly kind. What draws Maya isn't just his looks, but the way he sees her art as magic, not delusion. The way he makes her six-year-old daughter laugh. The way roses seem to bloom wherever he walks, and her paintings start glowing with impossible light when he's near.

She's falling for him. Hard. And it terrifies her.

What Maya doesn't know: Dante is a Cupid—an immortal being who will lose his divine powers if he falls in love with a mortal. For millennia, he's been emotionally detached by design, convinced that immortality was everything. He never intended to fall. He never thought he could.

But every smile from Maya, every moment with her daughter, awakens feelings he was never meant to experience. When her manipulative ex-husband returns threatening custody to sabotage her happiness, Dante must choose: protect his immortality or fight for the woman who's become his entire world.

As Valentine's Day approaches and strange magic awakens in their small Vermont town, the truth can't stay hidden. When Maya's commissioned festival mural comes alive—painted couples literally moving, showing their true love memories—she demands answers. And Dante's secret threatens to destroy everything.

"I gave up immortality for you," he confesses, showing her the fading golden marks beneath his tattoos. "I'd give up anything for you."

Maya stares at the man who sacrificed eternity itself and must make an impossible choice: will she let fear win again, or find the courage to believe in magic—and love—one more time?

Can a burned single mother trust her heart to a man with an impossible secret? And can an immortal Cupid prove that some loves are worth losing everything for?

Amidst the chaos of the metropolitan war, destiny intertwined my path with a ferocious werewolf. In a harrowing moment, he decimated my family, sparing only a few, including myself. His intent to devour me was thwarted by a sudden departure, leaving me bewildered and alone. Among the scattered aftermath, a ring slipped from his grasp, an enigmatic token of our encounter.

Over the passing years, the ring has retained a mysterious bond, as if an invisible thread still connects us. It seems to possess the power to meld my soul with a captivating unity that eludes description.

Then came a day that shattered the confines of my understanding—a revelation that beamed radiant clarity onto all my musings.

"Have you trailed me since our first meeting? Have you always been there?" I questioned, voice quivering.

A confession emerged, laden with a haunting truth, "Yes, I am the werewolf who killed your family."

In a narrative brimming with intrigue and untold secrets, "Moonlit Betrayal" unveils a tale of entwined fates, forging connections against the backdrop of conflict and the eternal dance between humanity and the supernatural.

"You really think I'm playing around?" He grounds me through gritted teeth and he takes a step closer and I begin to move back.
"I gave you a strict instruction and you disobeyed, you chose to rebel."
There is about a zillion comeback running through my head, but my brain only focuses on the man whose green eyes has somehow turned into black because he's mad at me.
"Do you know what happens to rebellious people?" I keep moving back until my back from him hit the wall and I hiss out in frustration.
I swallow hard and try not to look at him, pissing him off would be a good thing when we aren't the only ones in the whole house.
"Do you?!" He demands with a roar.
"No, I don't. Tell me." I say,
He takes a firm step close to stand intimately close to me, his height making me feel like a little child. "They get punished." And for the first time in the last five to six-minute, I see his green eyes of him instead of black ones looking into mine with lust and my brain go blank for a second and I have to shake it to restart it.
Even I can't deny the intense feeling I have been having, I don't want to be in denial any more. I do want to be close to him and as much as it scares me, it draws me in to know more.
"Then punish me."


The arrangement was, I get to meet her, propose to her, we get married as that would create a stronger bond between the two business associates, bringing us together as a family.

The image of him being happy and loving with my best friend felt like betrayal. It felt like he had launched a knife into my heart while I was struggling to breathe.
How could he betray me this way? How could he betray me with my best friend? "
You said you loved me." I cried out and brushed the tears running down my face away.
He stared at me, and the coldness in his eyes mirrored the one his mother always had for me. "That was my greatest mistake." I felt cold.
Once Imela believed love was enough, now not anymore. Love was just another lie that the weak believed in to keep them from seeing the truth: that there was no place for people like them in this world.

“You have no idea what you do to me,” he rasped, his voice rough with restraint.
“Then don’t hold back,” she whispered. “Not tonight.”
And he didn’t. Damon trailed kisses from her neck to her waist
His hands roaming her body like a canvas waiting for the stroke of his fingers, he worshiped her whole.
Lila moaned his name, her fingers scratching his back as she pulled him closer wanting him to consume her raw.
Damon's hands moved downwards groping her skin all the way down to her core causing Lila to release little gasps
His fingers played with her special place like a Potter caressing his vase.
He kissed her
"You are my ecstasy, I want you inside me, honey" Lila whispered in his ear.
Damon's eyes changed instantly, his wolf at the fore, she felt his length as he pressed against her still hidden in his clothes.
She tore at it ,Damon taking it off piece by piece, keeping his stare fixated on her...

A stray wolf tore open Elias's stomach, his intestines spilling out, blood staining the forest floor crimson… Damon watched helplessly as his dearest friend Elias died in his arms. From that moment on, Damon closed himself off; a part of him died.

But as a young Alpha of the Moonshade Wolf Pack, he was forced to mate with a stranger named Lila to produce an heir for the pack. Damon loathed this proposal and decided to rebel.

To his bewilderment, the moment he saw Lila, his throat tightened, a surge of heat welled up within him, and an intense desire to mate with her burned like a raging fire within him, consuming him from the inside out. He felt he might be going mad; how could he possibly crave a stranger like this?!

“I am married, Mateo, you need..”

He grabbed my hair aggressively and claimed my lips.

“I don't care.. I still want you. You are mine!”

He pinned me against the wall and grabbed my ass.

“Mateo, we are in my matrimonial home..”

“Fuck that”

Astrid, a 30-year-old woman, and Mateo, a 22-year-old dude, got into a secret and dangerous love affair, but is it genuine from both sides and how long can they keep it a secret???

Humans are not allowed inside Lycan territory. So, when Henna is brought into Lycan Academy, everyone except her seems to understand one thing. She doesn't belong. She can't shift, she has no powers, and everyone in the academy can smell the sick human fear in her.

Especially him.

Andre is a Lycan prince. A predator by birth. A future Lycan King with loyalty to his pack and a mate chosen for him since birth. He shouldn’t look at a human the way he looks at Henna. And he definitely shouldn’t touch her.

But then he does, and their whole lives come unravelling. Because a Lycan Prince being mates with a human has never been heard of, and some people are willing to take that out of existence. To protect her, Andre does the one thing he shouldn't have. He hands her over to his best friend.

The only Lycan that he trusts.

The only one who starts to fall for Henna, too.

Loving him will cost them everything…

Not loving him will cost more.

Derek has one goal: survive high school without drawing too much attention or pissing off his pack’s alpha.

As the youngest son of the alpha, his life is governed by lycan hierarchy, tradition, and politics. With no signs of awakening a lycan spirit, his only value is what he can do for the pack’s image. He knows he’s only ever one misstep away from exile… or worse.

Then, he finds a boy trapped in a locker on orientation day, and everything changes.

Derek shouldn’t want Nikolias. He’s off-limits. A risk Derek can’t afford.

So why does it feel like he’s the only thing worth fighting for?

Nikolias has just lost everything: his parents, his home, and any sense of peace. Sent back to the town his family left years ago to live with his prejudiced and controlling uncle, who wants nothing to do with anything—or anyone—not human, he’s trying to do everything in his power to get out quickly.

But then he meets Derek again, and all of his plans vanish in the soft, yearning flecks of gold in Derek’s green-hazel eyes. He’s drawn to Derek in a way that’s impossible to deny, and he thinks Derek feels the same way, despite the danger their relationship holds for him.

As Moonshadow's politics turn deadly, Derek and Nikolai are caught in the crossfire of a war that had started long before they were born, and their bond becomes a threat and a lifeline that neither can afford to sever.

Because the heart wants what it wants….

And it never asks permission.

My Big Bad Wolf Series: Elysia & Alex-Book 1 (Nocturnal Collections)

She broke into his mansion. Now she’s trapped in his world.

A cunning thief with nothing to lose.
A powerful Alpha with everything to protect.
When Elysia Crinshaw is caught stealing from Alex Landry, she doesn’t go to jail, she’s claimed. Drawn into his world, she learns that freedom can be more dangerous than chains…and love more brutal than any cage.

He rose and moved towards me, my heart picking up its pace with every step he took. His hand stroked the side of my face, causing a tingle to rush through me and I shivered at his touch just like earlier. He leaned in and his breath fanned over my face, hot, weakening, and mind-numbing.

"You should be running, Zera," he said with a voice so raw it made me shudder against him. "The most sensible thing to do is run from someone like me."

"I don't want to run." I stubbornly stated, worn out with his long game. It wasn't helping anyone. He wanted me, I could see that, and I wanted him too.

His nose rubbed against mine, and he moved his forehead against mine. "Oh darling, but you should. I won't be like those little boys you've been with. I won't stop when you want me to. I won't stop until I'm completely buried in your mind and soul. You will belong to me."

"Take off your clothes, I want to see the body I'd be living with for the rest of my life," he commands, moving to the other side of the room where the red armchair was.

She hesitated, and that displeased him. He growled, clearly infuriated. “Do you need some kind of motivation? Because you will not get it. Take off your fucking clothes!” he thunders, making her jump and her legs shake.

With shaky hands and a trembling body, she grabbed the hand of the silk gown again and dragged it down. Her eyes stayed glued to the floor, not having the audacity to look up at the alpha king across the room from her.

“You’re not done yet!”
Mia Asika had wanted only one thing for the longest time, enlightenment and the freedom to travel the world in search of it. Mia's dreams however ended the day Ariel, her beautiful and fair older sister who was betrothed to the alpha king, died the night before her marriage and she became the last resort. Hated at sight, the alpha king moved to make her union to him that of misery.

Can Mia's will for survival withstand the alpha king's cold and unloving nature?

"Why? Because you still love your late wife??"

"Yes," he didn't waver in his response and he glanced at her and she could see the emotions much present in his eyes, they were genuine and consuming. "Does it bother you??"

His question drew her out of her thought and she quickly cleared her throat and shrugged, "No, it doesn't because I think I know that you still do, it's written in your eyes. You want someone to be beside you to help you convince the world of the lie that you have moved on from your late wife even though you truly haven't even after three years and you need someone who will know how you feel about her and still stay through it all. But we know such a person doesn't exist. No normal person would get into a relationship with you knowing full well that even though they fall for you, your heart will never be theirs. And so we make pretend and that's why you offered me the contract of being your pretend girlfriend, Mr inferno."

I saw this tradition in Klean and I thought it was cute," Xavier answered, still on one knee.

"What tradition?" Mia asked in a curious tone, her brow raised. "Well, the to-be groom asks the bride to marry him by getting on one knee and saying will you marry me? So, Mia Ainsworth, will you marry me?" he asked her.

She seemed interested to know how this ends. Yesterday he had gotten on his knee to give her the gold and green ribbons and she wanted to see how this would go. "Okay, and then what?" "Then the to-be bride says yes," he guided her. "So I say yes?" "Yes," he nodded. "That's my line," she protested with a pout.

"Then say it." "Yes," she said, and he took her hand and slid the ring onto her finger. He rose to his feet and pulled her against himself before claiming her lips. They pulled away, and he placed his head against hers, his eyes fluttering. "The kiss is a part of the tradition?" "Yes," he said, beaming at her.

His happiness was getting her excited, "Okay, now what?" "We get married.

“I need a lady to pretend to be my girlfriend for Seven Days. If you agree, I will give you $50 million.”

I stared at the man in front of me. Sebastian Shelby. The billionaire. The man every woman wanted. “$50 million? For just one week?” I asked, my voice trembling. My family was drowning in debt, thugs were throwing my mother out of our house, and my brother needed surgery. I had no choice.

“I need an excellent job, and we might need to get intimate for it to look real,” he said, his eyes scanning my body like he was buying a piece of furniture. “Do as I say, and the money is yours.”

I signed my life away. But I didn't know the deal included his dying mother forcing us to get married in a hospital room. “I will marry you,” I whispered, holding back tears.

On our wedding night, he threw six duvets at me. “Sleep on the floor,” he commanded coldly. “This isn't a real marriage. Outside of this house, we don't know each other.”

I thought I could handle his coldness. I thought I could handle his secret girlfriend, the famous actress Alex Stone, who pointed a gun at my chest and warned me to stay away. But then came the night I forgot to lock my door.

I woke up to a dark figure looming over me. I screamed and bit his finger hard. The lights turned on. It was Sebastian. His eyes weren't cold anymore. They were dark with hunger.

“I can smell you, Elizabeth,” he whispered, pinning me to the bed. “Your whole body is begging me to fuck it.”

I tried to push him away. “Sir, please... I'm a virgin.”

His hand froze. The shock on his face was undeniable. “You have never been with a man?”

Everything changed in that second. The contract was about to be broken...
