"You want this?" he murmured, his voice rough with need.

I could barely think, barely speak—all I knew was that I needed him. "Yes..." I gasped, arching against him as his touch grew bolder, more demanding.

Chosen as one of the Alpha's breeders. Freya is treated unfairly by both the Alpha and her fellow breeders.

She's accused of committing different crimes and does not go unpunished.

How would Freya scale through and prove herself worthy of being a Luna?

What happens when a deep dark secret is discovered?

Her cousin was convinced that a blind date would finally end her single streak.

Spoiler? It blew up in her face—spectacularly.

Charming, normal, and good-looking? Apparently, that was code for walking red flag. Dorian Delacroix wasn’t just trouble; he was the whole bad-boy danger package—magnetic, secretive, and undeniably lethal. Sure, sparks flew, but there was no easy escape from this mess.

Being under the "protection" of a dangerously gorgeous Special Activities Division leader might have sounded thrilling, but in reality? It meant trading freedom for paranoia, a luxury prison for a home, and a constant threat looming in the shadows.

And if Vivian was right, their real target might just be the baby she was carrying.

SNIPPET:
“I don't care who you are but I am the luna of this pack. I am the Alpha's mate and when the alpha is gone, I am in charge. When the alpha is gone, I am the alpha. When the king is gone, I am the damn king. And if you have a problem with that, take it up with the man who marked me. Any attempt or any threat to my life will be taken as treason and I will tear that person’s head apart with my bare hands.” I said, my voice sharp and low yet sure they could all hear me.
“You can tell them, you can tell them all what I said and if anyone has anything to say about that, they can find me in the king's office.”

A seventeen year search for a missing woman ends when her remains are found, but a surprise awaits the grieving family: she’d been pregnant and had given birth to a daughter.
Vivian, now sixteen, meets her biological family for the first time but isn’t as eager to get to know them. Her past holds too many secrets; secrets that would turn them against her if they ever fount out.
Her family, however, have secrets of their own, ones that clash with those Vivian refuse to speak of. As their two worlds collide she needs to decide if she can trust them with her past, if she can accept who they truly are, and if ‘family’ is even important.

Princess Seraphine Dawnmere gave everything to the kingdom her time, her patience, her blood. And when the moment came to choose a husband and claim the throne, she chose the man she had loved since childhood. The man who had grown up beside her. The man who smiled at her like she was the only woman in the world.
She did not know that smile was practice.

Five years into her reign, she stopped being able to move her hands. Then her legs went cold. She died in the dark of her own chambers while her husband and her sister stood at the foot of the bed, watching.
She woke up screaming.

Not in the afterlife. Not in the grey between worlds. She woke up on the morning of her twenty-third birthday, in her old bed, with the announcement ceremony one day away and a second chance burning in her chest like an open wound.
This time, she does not choose Lord Cael Vanthorpe.

This time, she calls the name no one expected. A soldier. A half-blood general no one takes seriously. A man with a scarred face and no noble title and nothing to offer a princess except the one thing her kingdom never gave her.
Someone who never once lied to her face.

But the past is patient. And Seraphine is not the only one who came back.
Wings of the Twice-Crowned is a Fae fantasy romance about a princess who died knowing too late, a general who was never supposed to matter, and a kingdom where the most dangerous creatures do not have wings.

His mouth left her mouth to her neck, which he kissed and sucked. He fiddled with her clothes, loosening it to free her chest. His mouth left her neck to her breasts where his tongue found her nipple, nibbling at it at first before sucking it.

One year as a hidden mistress. One night of rebellion. One brutal invasion that changed everything.

​Banished by the wolf I used to love and bound to the enemy who terrified me. I thought I'd lost everything.

And just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, the healer delivered the final blow:

The mark can’t be removed.

Because the ruthless Alpha who destroyed my life…
is my mate.

Brandy: 

My husband is disgusted and ashamed of me. 

Everyone laughed when I walked down the aisle. 

We were forced to marry and all he wants to do is get rid of me. His family resorted to starving me for days so I could lose my weight. Once again I am alone. I just need to keep my head down and stay out of his way. 

Storm: 

I always knew my father would pick my wife, but her! She is the worst he could do. She is fat, always eating, and messy. She can’t do anything right, but why is my wife suddenly all I am thinking about? Why am I stroking myself in the shower with only her image bringing me release? I don’t want her but I can’t stay away. There is something about her that will soon drive me crazy but I will resist by all means. I have to.

Violet stood in front of the bait shop waiting for Uncle Scott to come out. She leaned lazily against her car playing with her phone lost in thought. Uncle Scott always closed the bait shop on Fridays, so his employees could have a nice start to the weekend. He always said everyone should have a fun Friday night. She smiled to herself thinking about what a wonderful man her Uncle was. She normally waited at home for him but Uncle Scott's car wouldn’t start today so she was his ride.
She really didn’t mind helping her Uncle out. He was like her dad. He raised her since she was six weeks old and her parents passed away in a car accident. He was her mother’s brother and took her in without a thought. She loved him more than anything and since Aunt Ray, his wife, passed away three years ago it was just them against the world.
Suddenly a noise from the trees had violet snapping out of her thoughts. She looked around feeling like someone or something was watching her.

When Amelia Pierce finally admits her marriage is a gilded cage, one shattered glass and a chilling vow—I’ll never divorce you—send her straight into the orbit of Bryson Hearst: her new boss, her oldest secret, and the man who quietly bought a ring for her six years ago and locked it in his safe.

In a world of penthouse boardrooms and whispered scandal, Bryson is the kind of dangerous that feels like safety. He moves her into protection, runs her a jasmine-scented bath instead of crossing a line, and promises to destroy her husband in the daylight and worship her in the dark. But Amelia’s freedom has a price: West Coast deals that turn volatile, an ex-assistant with receipts and a grudge, and a powerful family that believes Pierce women never leave.

As a covert investigation exposes more than a cover-up, and a storage unit full of sins, Amelia signs away every claim to her husband’s fortune—she doesn’t want his money, only her life back. The clock is ticking: four weeks to a court date, four weeks of stolen mornings and velvet-box confessions, four weeks for a man who has loved her from afar to prove he can love her up close without touching her until she’s free.

Lush, addictive, and breathless with restraint, More Than I Knew is a high-heat, high-stakes contemporary romance where consent is the sexiest power move, protection reads like possession, and a woman chooses herself—then the man who’s been choosing her all along.

"You don’t even know what you’ve stepped into, Elena."

Alexander Moretti- a name Elena Rossi never wanted to hear anymore- is arrogant and cold. The billionaire who embarrased her in front of an entire gallery. But when he offers her the opportunity of a lifetime—a commission that could change her dwindling career—she has to make a choice. She’ll accept his money, complete the job, and forget he ever existed or that they even crossed paths.

But forgetting Alexander Moretti is quite impossible. His presence alone is suffocating, his eyes filled with something she can’t decipher—something capable of causing her harm. The closer she gets, the more she realizes he has a secret. And then, she finds the photograph.

One picture.
One lie.

Elena's world crumbles when she fins out that her family’s tragic accident wasn’t an accident at all. The Morettis had a hand in it. And now, Vincent Carter—a man with a vendetta—is using her as a pawn in a deadly game.

"Run, Elena."

But it’s too late.

She’s trapped between the man who might have destroyed her life and the one willing to kill to protect her.
