"It's no wonder you are unlovable!" She spat, "Nobody wants you."
Massimo moved faster than lightning, one moment he was standing apart, the next his hand clamped around her jaw. His finger was bruising, forcing her face upward. Rage darkened his features until the blue of his eyes looked almost black.
He crashed his mouth against hers in a punishing kiss. It was devoid of passion, claiming what she refused to give freely. He broke away just enough to growl against her lips.
"Two minutes ago your cunt was dripping for me. You would have let me fuck you senseless right there on the sheets."
His grip tightened, pushing her chin higher until she met his gaze. "So cut the hypocrisy. And God help you if you test my patience one last time."


She was never meant to be his bride.
Eloise Bernardi is a mistake; the inconvenient daughter meant to watch from the sidelines while her beautiful cousin marries into the Caputo empire. But when Massimo Caputo, the ruthless Mafia Don feared across Italy, chooses her instead, her whole world tilts.

Forced into his arms and bound by vows she never wanted, Eloise must navigate a marriage thick with tension, power, and a desire that terrifies her as much as it tempts her. Because Massimo doesn’t just want obedience.
He wants her fire.
He wants her resistance.
And her surrender in his bed.

"I don't even know you," I said, stalling, heart racing.
"Daniel." His lips brushed my jaw, warm and slow." Your name?"
I swallowed, Evan's ghost saying I wasn't enough. "You gotta earn it." My tone was light, but my chest hurt, scared to jump, scared to stay stuck.
He laughed, low and sexy. "Come with me, I'll earn it." His thumb rubbed my hip, a promise that made my knees weak.


Sienna Peterson had the whole "happily ever after" thing locked down… or so she thought. She married her college sweetheart, mastered the art of casserole-making, and dove headfirst into suburban adulthood.
Twenty-one years later. Her husband's traded her in for someone who still gets carded, her kids are off to college, and Sienna is suddenly very single with a whole lot of free time. Cue the midlife plot twist.
Who says your 40s can't be fabulous? Who says you can't date a ridiculously attractive and a billboard 26-year-old named Daniel Walter—who just so happens to be sweet, s*xy, and seriously into her?
Daniel may be younger, but he's got his life together and his heart in the right place. Sienna, on the other hand, has no idea how she ended up in a situationship with a man who knows how to properly fold fitted sheets.
But hey—he makes her laugh, makes her blush, and makes her feel more alive than she has in years. It starts off as just fun... but what if it's more than that? What if age is just a number, and love is the surprise twist she never saw coming? One woman's fresh start. One unexpected romance. And a whole lot of awkwardly hot moments.

"I can help you with that."
She was close to her release when she heard his sexy masculine voice. It never registered in her head that he was actually here, watching her the whole time.
"I thought you'd never ask." She replied drunkenly.
She felt these strong rough palms caress her hips, moving to her butt. He squeezed her butt cheeks really hard.
She jerked up, immediately, it finally registered in her mind that foreign hands were actually touching her. She was not alone in her house. She was not alone in her bathroom.
"OMG!! I am naked" she screams internally. "And there's a man sharing the same pace with me." Worse case scenario, she doesn't remember inviting any man over. Her feeling of ecstasy quickly died down. She went on alert mode as she slapped the hand off her butt.

Nia Malik walked into marriage with hope in her heart and patience in her soul—only to spend three years as a ghost in her own home. No affection. No loyalty. No protection. Just cold silence… and quiet betrayal.

The night she plans to tell her husband she’s pregnant, he walks out—straight into the arms of the only woman he ever loved.

"You wear her face, but you bleed differently. Tell me, pequeña mentirosa, who are you really?"
When Isabella Moreno identifies her twin sister Sofia's mutilated body in the San Isidro morgue, her world doesn't just shatter—it ignites.
Sofia wasn't supposed to be anywhere near the cartel underworld. She was the good twin—sweet, trusting, working as a trauma nurse, engaged to a respectable doctor. She was everything Isabella wasn't: innocent, hopeful, loved.
But someone put three bullets in Sofia's chest and dumped her body in the River Rojo like garbage.
The police call it gang violence. Case closed. Another statistic in a city that bleeds daily.
Isabella knows better.
She's spent five years as a DEA intelligence analyst, building cases against the very cartels that rule San Isidro. She's seen the patterns, knows the players, and recognizes the signature of a professional hit when she sees one. Sofia's murder wasn't random—it was an execution. And every trail of blood leads to one man:
Damián Flores, heir to the most powerful cartel in Mexico.
Devastatingly handsome, Princeton-educated, and colder than the blade he's rumored to wield personally, Damián took control of the Flores Cartel after his father's assassination three years ago. He's turned the organization into an empire—ruthless, efficient, untouchable. The DEA has tried for years to build a case against him and failed. He's too smart, too careful, too protected.
But Isabella has something the DEA doesn't: Sofia's face.
The twins were identical—same dark hair, same amber eyes, same delicate bone structure. When Isabella assumes Sofia's identity, no one questions it. Not Sofia's grieving fiancé. Not her hospital colleagues. And definitely not Damián Flores, who appears at Sofia's favorite café three days after the funeral with an expression that makes Isabella's blood run cold.

She is not broken. She is awakened. When she comes back, it will not be with tears or pleas. It will be to reclaim everything. Can revenge heal a heart betrayed so completely, or will the past consume her before she can rise?

I can barely breathe. Another finger joins, and I clench around him.
“Alllllphaaaa” I scream his name like I’m being chased.
He captures my lips before pulling back.
“Evander. Van. Mine. Those are the names you scream, little wolf. Not Alpha.”
His fingers quicken, and I shatter.

She survived the stake. She escaped the swamp. But can she survive him?

Elora clawed her way out of the Lower City's gutters only to be thrown into Arcanum—a gilded cage where nobles hunt commoners for sport and ancient powers play deadly games. Branded a heretic, she's nothing but a research specimen to the cold elven Grand Magister who saved her life... and a fascinating new toy to the thousand-year-old vampire prince who watches her burn from the shadows.

But when dragonfire erupts from her veins and threatens to consume her from within, Elora must make an impossible choice: submit to the monsters who want to control her, or become a monster herself.

The cool air rushed between us, making me shiver. "I've felt it since I first saw you in the mountains."

"Then why are you fighting it?" I pushed, getting bolder. "Why pretend it was a mistake?"

My name is Lyra, Princess of the Starscale Realm, bearer of the Star Goddess's purification gift.

I thought I'd found my destined soulmate—until I met Kael.

From the moment I saw him, something felt different.

Wrong. Right. I couldn't tell which.

All I knew was that I was drawn to him like water to the moon, desperate to get closer, to understand the storm raging behind his eyes.

But Kael pushed me away as often as he pulled me close, leaving me confused and aching.

Then I discovered why: my family supposedly slaughtered his entire Storm Dragon clan in a brutal massacre.

I don't believe my father capable of such horror. I can't. So I made Kael a promise—I would uncover the truth and clear his family's name, no matter the cost.

But everything changed when my "destined" soulmate betrayed me, shattering the bond I thought was unbreakable. In the aftermath of that devastation, my longing for Kael intensified until I could no longer deny it.

Kael is my true fated mate. He has to be.

But after one soulbond failed me so catastrophically, how can I trust another? How can I believe in destiny when it's already led me astray once?

Then we discovered something that changes everything: Kael and I aren't just drawn together by fate—we're the only ones who can stand against the Void. Only our combined power can seal away the darkness threatening to consume our world.

And as we dig deeper into the massacre, the real truth finally emerges: the killer was never my father at all. Someone else orchestrated the slaughter, someone who's been manipulating us both from the shadows...

Now, caught between love and hatred, trust and betrayal, destiny and choice—can we find our way forward together?

In Valmere, magic is ranked—and those without it are meant to be forgotten.

But when she breaks into a forbidden shrine and awakens the legendary World-End Dragon, everything changes. The power burning beneath her skin is uncontrollable, intoxicating—and deadly.

Sent to eliminate her is Alaric Nightfall, the High Council’s most feared enforcer. Cold, devastatingly magnetic, and sworn to eradicate forbidden magic, Alaric has never hesitated before. Until Serina. From the moment their eyes meet, something dangerous ignites—an unspoken pull that coils tighter with every stolen glance, every charged moment where duty collides with desire.

Hunted by the Council and bound together by secrets neither can escape, Serina and Alaric are forced into a reluctant partnership that smolders with tension. Her raw fire threatens to unravel his perfect control, while his presence awakens a hunger she never knew she was allowed to feel.

Because when dragonfire stirs and hearts betray their orders, desire becomes the most powerful—and perilous—magic of all.

I promised her father I would protect her.

Lizzie Foster was never meant to be mine.
She was the spoiled mafia princess I was ordered to guard… the daughter of my dying best friend… and the young woman already promised to another man.

My duty was simple: keep her safe until her wedding day.

Then her fiancé betrayed her.
And the only way to protect her was to do the unthinkable—

marry her myself.

Now Lizzie is living under my roof, wearing my ring, carrying my name… and testing every last ounce of the control I’ve built my life on.

She wants a real marriage.
Not a cold arrangement. Not a contract signed out of necessity.
She wants affection, devotion, a husband who will look at her like she’s the only woman in the world.

And the more time she spends in my bed, in my house, in my life… the harder it becomes to remember this marriage was never supposed to happen.

She was my best friend’s daughter.
Too young. Too forbidden. Too innocent for a man like me.

But Lizzie is mine now.

And I’m not sure if I’m protecting her from the brutality of our world…
or from the darkness inside me.

"Fuck you and get the hell out of my cafe if you don't want me to kick your ass."

He frowned and dragged me to the backside of the cafe by seizing my wrist.

Then he pushed me into the party hall and hurriedly locked the door.

"What the fuck do you think of yourself? You,"

"Shut up." He roared, cutting my words.

He grabbed my wrist again and dragged me to the sofa. He sat down and then, with a swift motion he yanked me down and bent me over his lap. He pinned me against the sofa by pressing his hand on my back and locked my legs between his.

What is he doing? Chills rushed down my spine.

The wedding was quiet, almost too quiet, but my gaze was locked on the tall, tattooed man standing just a few feet away. His dark eyes and sharp suit ignited a heat in me I couldn't ignore. I should be thinking of everything I'm losing. But instead, I'm consumed by thoughts of what his touch will feel like, the forbidden thrill of him-my soon-to-be stepson.

Lucian

I've known enough good girls to know I shouldn't go near them. They're fragile, breakable, and they don't know the kind of darkness that lives in men like me. But Valentina... she's different. She's got this innocence that makes me want to ruin her, mark her, make sure she never looks at another man again. She might be my father's bride, but that doesn't mean she's safe. Not from me. Not from the monster I crave to unleash, the darkness that craves to devour her innocence whole.

Yet, a voice whispered in his head

“Death is a favor in disguise for her, make her beg for death.

“Go find one of those perfect little she-wolves lined up to mate you. Play your Alpha card on them. I’m sure they’ll beg to be marked..maybe they’ll even let you f—”

Ronan’s eyes were glowing now—not just anger, but something else. Something deeper. His wolf was there, right under the surface, growling low and dangerous.

“Oh?” I taunted, my body betraying me with a subtle tremble of arousal. “What is this? You don’t want me, but no one else should touch me either?”

His growl deepened, vibrating between us, and then his mouth crashed down on mine.

I moaned before I could stop myself, and that only seemed to provoke him further. He pressed harder, his body pinning mine, every inch of him demanding, claiming.

He groaned into my mouth, his thigh sliding between mine and pressing upward. I gasped, my head hitting the wall as pleasure sparked through me.

“Don’t want to touch you?” he growled against my lips. “I want you with every damn breath.”


Seliene, a fierce half-breed hiding heartbreak behind a defiant tongue, and Ronan, the brooding Alpha who once rejected her, ignite in a moment of raw passion and buried longing. Bound by a mate bond they both try to resist, their chemistry is undeniable, dangerous, explosive, and edged with the pain of a love neither dares to admit.
