Dr. River Adams is a dedicated researcher with a singular mission: to find a cure for cancer. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge leads her to the ocean's depths, where she and her team capture a mysterious supernatural being—a stunning merman with shimmering blue skin and hauntingly beautiful eyes. Unbeknownst to River, her team alerts the authorities, and a group of highly trained Navy SEALs arrives to take the merman, believing his DNA may hold the key to a groundbreaking cancer cure.

As River grapples with the moral implications of her work, she feels an undeniable connection to the captured creature. Torn between her scientific ambitions and her growing feelings for him, she becomes determined to free him from the laboratory's clutches. In a moment of desperation, the merman marks River as his mate, igniting a bond that transcends the boundaries of their worlds.

As River and the merman, whose name is Kaelan, navigate their newfound relationship, they uncover secrets that challenge everything River thought she knew about science, love, and destiny. Together, they embark on an underwater adventure filled with danger, discovery, and the fight for both their lives and the lives of countless others. Will River sacrifice her career for a chance at true love, or will she choose the path of knowledge that could change the fate of humanity forever?

I never meant to catch the attention of the Vampire King.
But the night he walked into my quiet southern bar, the shadows bowed, the air stilled… and his eyes locked on mine like he’d been hunting me for centuries.
I should’ve run.
Instead, I watched him—tall, ancient, devastating in his power—as an illegal vampire nest attacked. My own hidden magic erupted in a blinding surge, saving my life… and exposing the truth I’ve spent years burying.
Now the King wants answers.
About my blood.
About my power.
About why I can hear his thoughts for a split second when no human should.
He takes me to his court, a place of velvet darkness and political teeth, swearing it’s for my protection. But his gaze lingers too long, his voice coils around me like a promise, and every step I take pulls me deeper into a world where desire is as dangerous as any blade.
The King says I belong to him.
Not as prey—
but as something far more impossible.
As factions rise against his throne and my power spirals out of control, I’m faced with a truth more terrifying than his fangs:
I’m not afraid of the monster.
I’m afraid of how badly I want him.
And when a prophecy whispers that only together can we survive the coming darkness…
I have to decide whether to run from the Vampire King—
—or step willingly into his arms and become the flame that could burn his kingdom to ash.

"You're ours now, Amaya. No running this time."
After escaping a breeding facility that used her body to create hybrid soldiers, Amaya forges a new identity and hides in a quiet werewolf-human town, posing as a college student.
She just wants peace, normalcy — control. But on her first week, she meets thre students — heirs of the most powerful packs in the nation — and the unthinkable happens.
They all whisper the same word: "Mate."
Her wolf awakens. Her heat ignites. And the forbidden bond between them spirals into chaos.
As Amaya hidden powers grow, so does the danger. The Werewolf Council calls her existence an abomination and demands her death. Her mates refuse to let her go — even if it means starting a war.

Mira Holloway was never meant to survive werewolf territory.

Sent by her coven under false pretenses, she carries a single vial of moon-bound poison and one deadly order: kill the Alpha King before the packs unite and plunge the world into war.

Alaric Bloodhowl is everything Mira was warned about—ruthless, dominant, and feared by every wolf who draws breath. His power rules the packs, his word is law, and his control has never faltered… until the night of the blood moon.

One drop of blood ignites an ancient bond neither of them asked for.

Now Mira is trapped between loyalty and desire, her mission rotting in her pocket as the bond tightens with every heartbeat. Because if the truth comes out, the Alpha King won’t hesitate to destroy her.

And when the blood moon rises again, Mira will have to choose: betray the man her soul has claimed… or doom them both to a fate written in blood.

He rules with silence.
She survives by staying invisible.

Darius Valecrest is not a man who bends. As Alpha of the Valecrest Dominion, his authority is absolute, his control legendary. He has built his reign on discipline, strength, and the unshakable belief that attachment is weakness.

Then Ivy Laurent steps onto his land.

She isn’t wolf.
She isn’t pack.
She isn’t meant to matter.

But the moment Darius catches her scent, instinct roars what logic denies — she is his.

Ivy came to Valecrest territory to disappear. Fleeing a past that stole her voice and fractured her confidence, she wants nothing more than anonymity and safety. What she finds instead is a man whose presence commands rooms — and whose protection feels dangerously close to possession.

When rival Alphas discover Ivy carries dormant blood from an ancient lineage capable of destabilizing the Dominion, she becomes more than a woman.

She becomes leverage.
She becomes a threat.
She becomes a crown.

Now Darius must choose: protect his throne… or claim the woman who could destroy it.

And Ivy must decide if standing beside an Alpha means losing herself — or finally becoming something stronger.

Because in Valecrest territory, mates are not asked.
They are claimed.

Her hands slid up to his chest, palms flat, feeling the solid strength beneath his shirt. The fear didn’t vanish completely. But it quieted. Receded into the background. Logan’s thumb brushed her cheek, slow and grounding, as his other hand settled at her waist.

The kiss grew warmer. Slower. Logan felt it too, sharp and electric. His wolf stirred restlessly, recognizing something it shouldn’t, something it wanted to claim even as his mind warned him to stop. He broke the kiss first, breathing hard, forehead resting against hers.

“Emily,” he murmured, strained. “We should—” She didn’t let him finish. Her lips brushed his jaw, tentative, almost questioning. Her voice was barely a whisper. “Don’t send me away.”


After being betrayed forty-eight times by her mate, Oscar, Emily is drugged and offered to powerful wolves for his gain. Desperate and fleeing danger, she collapses into the arms of Lucas Walker, one of seven feared Alpha Brothers who rule the strongest pack. Drawn to her by an unstoppable pull, the brothers vow to protect her. But Emily’s past hides a darker secret, one that fate has bound to all of them.

I broke into the Morretti chapel to steal a ledger.

I walked out bound to an alpha.

When my brother’s gambling debt puts a target on his spine, I do what I’ve always done — survive smarter than the men who underestimate me. The Morretti syndicate hides their real accounts beneath holy ground, and I intend to use their secrets as leverage.

But beneath the chapel isn’t just a vault.

It’s a cage.

And inside it is Roman Varga — an alpha werewolf the Morrettis have been drugging, torturing, and using as their silent weapon. The moment I unlock the wrong door, something ancient and violent snaps into place between us.

The bond.

Now the mafia wants me erased. Roman wants blood. And the closer the full moon creeps, the more unstable he becomes — because the Morrettis weren’t just keeping him prisoner.

They were waiting for someone like me.

Vesper Arden isn’t a random thief.

My blood reacts to his.

My scent calms him.

And when he touches me, the mark burns like a promise.

I don’t know what’s more dangerous — the mafia hunting us….......

Or the way I’m starting to crave the alpha who calls me his.

"I spent ten years loving him, and three years as his 'perfect' wife. My reward? Watching him crave his own sister-in-law in the shadows of our home."
For three years, Aurora was the invisible Luna of the Silvercrest Pack. She endured a sexless marriage and her husband Adrian's coldness, only to discover the sickening truth: Adrian had married her to appease his family while his heart and his filthiest desires belonged to Morgana, his late brother's widow. Aurora hands him the divorce papers, resolutely ending this loveless marriage, and walks away without looking back.
The moment Adrian realized Aurora was truly gone, he fell to his knees, his eyes bloodshot with raw agony as he clung to her hem, pleading in a broken voice: "Aurora, I was wrong. I was a fool. Please... just look at me one more time."
Suddenly, Alaric, the Alpha King, wrapped a possessive arm around her waist, his voice cold and dominant: "You're mistaken, Adrian. She isn't yours to beg for anymore. She is my Mate."

Lilly Morgan had spent her life fighting a battle she couldn’t win. Living with her father was hell. He took every opportunity he could to remind her of how much he hated her.

Drake moon was a strong fearless alpha, But when Lilly fell into his arms he realized very quickly that she was the only thing in the world that could scare him.

But with that terror would come magnetic, passionate love. Love they hoped would survive through the pain of the past and the future! Amid a tragedy they are tested beyond their limits, a single moment would change them and the way they look at life forever.

But as the family expands ghosts from the past come back to haunt them, bringing with them new enemies that are much more deadly than anyone they have faced before.So they must come together with unlikely allies to save what is most precious to them.

But can they protect everyone or is that an unrealistic expectation?

Find out now in ‘The Blood Moon Saga’.

“My dear sister, you better drink it if you want this position? You have already agreed with father’s order to marry a man you don’t know and who isn’t your fated mate. All for gaining the Alpha title. Now see who is the greedy one.”
He slowly looks me up and down. A look of disgust fills his gaze. “You are even using your body to please Drake, and in turn, you are using him to secure your title.”

Trinity is about to be named the first female Alpha in her pack’s history and take her rightful place leading her people. Before she takes her title, her father suggests he could arrange a marriage for her to strength her position and curb the recent turmoil. Taking her father’s advice, she agrees and is thrilled for what is next to come with her and her pack.
Unfortunately, things don’t go the way she had hoped and dreamed. Her life soon crumbles around her and her future hangs in the balance. Luckily, help comes in the most unexpectant place. But does it also come with something more than she bargained for?

“I wonder why you aren’t good at bed? Is it the small penis or just the stamina?” she added and this time he dragged her by her hair and flew her across the room and she hit the window.

Despite bleeding, she didn’t stop but his anger just made her want to provoke him more. “Wow, little boy doesn’t want to admit he has problems in the bedroom?” she asked with a smirk.

Hendricks knew then and that if he got any closer to her he would rip her apart and later regret it...

Grace, a hybrid, her mate killed her entire pack and spared only her but for his own gain. he marked her forcefully, when Grace finally runs away from him she looks for a way to get rid of his mark.
She does find it but she has to pay a price, if they remove the mark then a part of Grace would go with it. But it’s a price she is willing to pay. The mark is removed then Grace becomes a shell of a person, she doesn’t feel love anymore and all she wants is to kill her so-called mate.

In the path of revenge, Grace finds her second chance mate, an Alpha prince, and she saves him as a prisoner. He is perfect and wants to be with her, but, Grace can’t ever love him back.

The price of getting rid of the mark is that she cant love anyone else, she is not capable of love...

Is she?

I was supposed to die alone in an alley.

Instead, a god found me.

One moment, I was bleeding beneath the neon glow of the city, my life slipping through my fingers. The next, a glowing blue screen appeared before my eyes, offering me a choice that was never really a choice at all.

Accept the Summoner’s Mark. Or die.

Now I belong to the Death Game — a brutal cosmic system where ordinary people are turned into Players, thrown into impossible missions, and forced to survive horrors designed for the amusement of gods.

Every trial has rules.
Every monster has a weakness.
Every victory comes with a reward.

And every reward makes me less human.

My name is Nerissa Valehart, and I refuse to be anyone’s pawn.

But surviving the Game means trusting the one man everyone warns me to fear.

Veyren Ashford is ruthless, powerful, and dangerously beautiful — a veteran Player with blood on his hands and secrets in his soul. He says attachment will get me killed. He says love is a weakness the Game always punishes.

Yet when death comes for me, Veyren is the one standing between us.

In a world where gods gamble with mortal lives, monsters hunt from the shadows, and desire may be the deadliest weakness of all, I have only one goal:

Survive long enough to cross the board.

And make the Starless God regret choosing me..............

"Undo your trick," he then said, and now he was dead serious.

"What trick?" I asked him, and he got up.

He then picked up a knife. Did he save me just so he could kill me?

Wasn't leaving me for dead enough for him?

He left me to die in that forest after I freed him, and now this.

He then slowly cut his hand, and suddenly, I screamed in pain and looked at him.

Right where he cut his hand, on his left hand, I also had the same wound.

What the hell?

How is it that he cut himself, and yet I also have the same wound?

"This trick, you bonded us together, you stupid witch," he said, his face red with rage.

"No, I didn't, that doesn't make sense" I said, and his eyes started changing colour.

"Fix this now, or I will kill your entire coven. I didn't spend centuries looking for a way to be immortal just so a stupid witch could get me killed," he said, and I froze.

If we are bonded together, then since I am mortal, he is technically mortal as well.

If I die, then he dies as well; how did this even happen?

I didn't do anything; what the hell?

6 million, going!" The man said, pointing at the bidder who had just made the bid."120 million," A deep but calm voice said from behind with his number raised, everyone gasped and turned to look at who had made such a bid for a mere servant girl.A smirk appeared on my face as Mr Jaylen fell for my trap and I became his prized possession.Kylie Candace Kazimir is one of the highest paid assassins but what happens when she is given a job by an anonymous person to eliminate one of the youngest, most successful and notorious mafia lords, Jaylen Noire Adryan.How will this one job affect her life?

“Since you suck at stripping, why don’t we skip that part and go over to the main thing!.” Lucas suggested as he tries to suppress a laugh.

“S-sure!.” Kimberly stuttered and moved closer to him. She cursed herself for not knowing how to do something as simple as stripping.

With her heart beating very fast, Kimberly stood in front of Lucas confused on what to do next.

Lucas pulled her closer until she is plastered on his body and placed his right hand on her butt while his left hand moved inside her shirt and cease her bare skin.

Kimberly immediately panicked and pushed Lucas away from her.

“Sorry, I can’t do this. I am not a prostitute!.” Kimberly uttered and picked up her bag amd rushed out….


Kimberly needs to pay the fifty thousand dollars her mom owe to loan sharks in a week time or face the consequences.

Left with no choice, Kimberly decided to sell her body in order to get the money.

One impulsive kiss shatters both their worlds—his allergy to touch vanishes, and her life spirals into chaos. When Herbert demands she take responsibility for his first kiss by marrying him, Olivia’s faces a whirlwind of secrets, passion, and dangerous love.


“You took my first kiss,” he whispered. “You’ll have to take responsibility for that.”
Her breath caught. “Wh-what?” she stuttered, unsure if she heard him right.
He smiled faintly, his fingers tracing the side of her face. “You heard me.”
She blinked rapidly, her heart pounding. “How am I supposed to take responsibility?”
Herbert’s gaze softened for a moment, though his tone remained firm. “Marry me.”

Sophia has always felt like the world was against her. Raised by a mother who worked tirelessly to make ends meet, she never knew the warmth of parental affection. Her father, the love of her mother's life, disappeared before she was born, leaving Sophia to silently resent him for the heartbreak he caused. Despite the odds, Sophia pushed through, working long hours at a bar while studying psychology at college. After her mother’s illness and passing, she learned early on how to survive on her own.

Sophia never showed interest in the opposite sex, avoiding relationships out of fear she'd fall into the same trap as her mother. That is, until one night, a handsome man enters the bar.

She wonders why this man is so intensely focused on her and what he's hiding. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a shocking truth: he is an alpha, and she is his destined mate

Mara Quinn doesn’t believe in fairy tales—only exhaustion, overdue rent, and clawing her way through nursing school one brutal shift at a time. Brooklyn has taught her one rule: no one saves you for free.

So when she finds a devastatingly beautiful stranger bleeding out in an alley, she does what nurses do. She helps. She doesn’t ask questions. She doesn’t fall for the way his voice roughens when he says no hospitals.

She should have let him die.

Lucien Dravayne—Ren to those foolish enough to get close—isn’t human. He’s an immortal werewolf–vampire hybrid, an ancient alpha who rules a supernatural empire hidden behind the Veil. For a thousand years, he’s been untouchable.

Until a sharp-tongued human nurse patches him together in her shabby apartment… and becomes his greatest liability.

Now Mara is marked as his weakness. Hunted by enemies who want to tear his kingdom apart, she’s dragged into a world of blood laws, pack politics, and a possessive alpha who insists he owes her his life.

She blames him for destroying everything she worked for.
He knows he’ll destroy the world to keep her breathing.

And when Mara is taken from his lands, Ren must choose between the empire he’s built over centuries…
or the human woman who was never meant to survive his darkness—let alone rule beside him.

"Am actually a werewolf!" I said to her with my heart beating very fast because I am actually afraid of her reaction.

"Yeah right and I am a vampire!". Claire said while rolling her eyes. She obviously didn't believe me.

But I am determined to tell her today because it's actually took me a lot of courage to be doing this right now.

"Claire am not joking, am actually a werewolf". I tired to convince her again.

"Then prove it" She stated.

"Alright! But promise me that you won't run away!". I said to her and she nodded her head.
Well here goes nothing! I took a deep breath and transformed into a wolf and kept my eyes closed waiting for her reaction. The next thing I heard is a scream and the sound of someone falling. I open my eyes to see that Claire has fainted. Well at least she didn't run away. I quickly transformed back to my human form and lifted her body and took her inside the house.


Alexander finally found his mate after waiting for two years. He managed to befriend her but the only problem is, how he is going to explain to her that he is a werewolf.

“I Lucas Gray, Alpha of the Dark moon pack, denounce you Sophia Roman as a member of this pack!”


Sophia was denounced by her pack for shifting four years later than she was supposed too. Sophia thought that it was the end of her life, not knowing it was the beginning of a great adventure.

Two days after Sophia became a rogue, she was attacked by older rogues but was saved by the members of The Sky Blue pack. Sophia was later taken to the Alphas and realized that she is mated to both Alphas. She ran away, thinking they will reject her after all she was just an omega and a rogue. But to her surprise, they didn’t only accept but promise to take revenge on her old pack for what they did to her……

"Dad, I think something is wrong."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm smelling four."

"Four?"

"Yes, there are four different scents. I don't know how to explain it but they all have the same earthly scent, but something else to it. What does that mean?"

"You have four mates."

"Four mates? That can't be real, I have never heard of that before." Avery was in a state of panic now, which caused her to involuntarily transform back to her human form.

Bound by Shadow and Moonlight is a dark romantic fantasy about exile, forbidden magic, and a love born from survival.
When Princess Elara Thorneleaf touches the forbidden Nightroot Tree, she is cursed and stripped of her elven powers, transformed into a feared “Shadow Elf.” Branded an abomination by her own people, Elara is cast out and hunted as the shadow inside her slowly consumes her body and identity.

Her escape leads her beyond the borders of her homeland, where she encounters Cael Raithe, a renegade wizard exiled by the Wizard Guild for practicing forbidden shadow magic.

Everyone at Briar Ridge High knows two things: No one messes with star quarterback Jaxon Reed, and no one stands up for Mila Santos.
Mila is the brilliant, plus-size girl people underestimate too easily—the quiet honors student with a sharp tongue, a secret dream of leaving town, and a reputation shaped by years of cruelty. At school, she’s the target of whispers, pranks, and public humiliation, much of it fueled by Jaxon’s possessive cheerleader ex.

Then Mila takes a live-in babysitting job for Jaxon’s little sister while his father works nights, and everything changes.
At school, they are enemies by history and circumstance. At home, they are forced into the same kitchen, the same living room, the same late-night routines of homework help, shared meals, and caring for the little girl who adores them both. Mila sees the side of Jaxon no one else does: protective, overworked, and carrying more pressure than his golden-boy image reveals. Jaxon begins to see the truth about Mila too—not the rumors, not the body people mock, but the fierce, funny, deeply resilient girl he should have defended long ago.
As the bullying escalates and his ex wages war, Jaxon is forced to choose between the life everyone expects from him and the girl he cannot stop thinking about. Meanwhile, Mila begins a powerful transformation of her own. She stops shrinking. Stops apologizing. Stops letting cruel people decide her worth.

What begins as bitterness becomes tension. Tension becomes loyalty. Loyalty becomes a first love fierce enough to change them both.
But when betrayal, jealousy, and one devastating public humiliation threaten to tear them apart, Mila must decide whether loving Jaxon is worth the risk—or whether choosing herself means walking away from the boy who finally learned how to fight for her.....

Vampires cannot create life.

Until Isla.

As desire ignites between them, Lucien must fight his nature to protect the woman who could destroy everything he’s ever known—or give him the one thing eternity denied him.

“An Omega,” the first Alpha said, his deep voice laced with authority. He took a step forward, and Kai instinctively backed away.

“No,” Kai whispered, shaking his head. His voice wavered, betraying his fear. “I-I don’t belong to anyone.”

The wild-looking Alpha snorted, crossing his arms. “You’re in neutral territory, little Omega. That’s a bold move for someone unclaimed. Did you really think no one would notice?”

Kai swallowed hard. “I didn’t mean to—”

“You don’t need to explain yourself,” the third Alpha interrupted, his voice smooth and soothing. He tilted his head, studying Kai intently. “But you can’t deny it, can you? You feel it, just like we do.”

“Feel what?” Kai asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

The first Alpha stepped closer, his gaze never leaving Kai’s. “The bond.”

Kai’s heart pounded in his chest. The air between them was electric, charged with an energy he didn’t understand but couldn’t ignore.

“No,” he said again, his voice shaking. “I don’t want this. I don’t want any of you!”

He turned to run, but the wild Alpha was faster. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Kai, blocking his path.

“Not so fast, sweetheart,” he said with a dangerous grin. “You can’t run from fate.”

When tenacious journalist Vivienne Thorne infiltrates a secretive gathering to investigate a string of disappearances, she never expects to be captured by Damien Blackthorn—the enigmatic CEO of Blackthorn Industries who harbors a deadly secret: he's a vampire lord whose powers are mysteriously waning.
Instead of killing her, Damien makes Vivienne an impossible offer: marry him in a binding blood contract to help him keep control over his territory, or watch as everyone she loves becomes collateral damage in a brewing vampire civil war.
As their reluctant alliance evolves into dangerous attraction, Vivienne learns her mysterious blood disorder is actually proof of a heritage she never knew existed—one that makes her both invaluable and deadly to the vampire world.

Their blood bond may be their best weapon—or the catalyst that awakens an ancient darkness threatening to consume them both.

I made a deal with Declan Moss at prom and I told myself it was strategy.

He needed a girlfriend. I needed an ex-boyfriend to finally notice I had moved on. Clean terms, mutual exit. I was good at arrangements. I had been making myself useful to people who didn't deserve it for years.

What I was not prepared for was him. Not the version he performs... the armor, the silence, the carefully managed distance. The real one. The one who hands you an essay he never meant for anyone to read and watches your face while you do it. The one carrying a sick sister, two jobs, and a scholarship that stands between his family and a number too big to say out loud. The one who has been holding everything together so long he has forgotten that holding everything is not the same as being okay.

People are trying to destroy him. Quietly. Patiently. From the inside out.

And somewhere between session four and the worst week of his life, I stopped being the girl on his paperwork and became the person he called first.
The arrangement had rules. I had an exit strategy. I was supposed to walk away clean.

Then he said my name in a parking lot like it meant everything he hadn't found the words for yet. And I understood that I had not been performing for weeks.

I had just been... there. Fully. Without the contract.

The fake part ended a long time ago. I am the only one who knows that.

For now.

Genre: Contemporary Billionaire Romance.

I have been invisible my entire life. Not the poetic kind of invisible, the kind where your own mother looks through you at dinner, where your name is only said when something needs to be done or someone needs to be blamed. I was never the daughter they loved. I was the one they kept around in case they needed something.

And they finally did.

My twin sister ran. Left her wedding, her billionaire groom, and her entire arranged life behind without a single word to me. So they handed it all to me instead... her name, her dress, her future. I didn't get a choice. I never got a choice. One slap from my father and I was stepping into a limousine headed toward a life that was never mine.

Then there was Lucian.
