I married a rapist.
After the wedding, I played the perfect wife. I always took off my makeup after he fell asleep, and reapplied it before he woke up.
My husband loved showing off on his livestream, bragging that women should know their place.
One viewer sent a warning in the chat:
[Run, man. Only vengeful spirits do their makeup in the middle of the night—when their resentment is strongest, the makeup lasts longer!]
I covered my face and grinned wickedly.
Oops, forgot concealer. My corpse marks are showing.

Death should have been the end.

Instead, I wake in the past, my boyfriend kneeling with a ring and the memory of my fall still ripping through my head.

This time, I remember the stranger who pushed me.

It won’t tame me.

I’ve already died once in a wedding dress.
If darkness comes for me again, I’ll meet it on my terms.

I came to watch her die.

The last of the Dusk bloodline. Royal, radiant, and as foolish as the ones who betrayed me centuries ago. She was meant to burn like the rest of them. I wanted her human ash beneath my boots.

But then she begged.

Tears. Shaking hands. That cursed face I should have hated… and yet, I couldn’t look away. I should have let Death take her. Instead, I made her mine.

Resurrected by my power, reborn in shame, Princess Aurelia Dusk now walks among Vampires. She doesn't know it yet, but my brothers, my Legion, have noticed her.

Xavier wants to worship her. Syre wants to adore her. And me?

I want to ruin her.

They were wrong about that. The city did not eat him. It forged him.

“T-thank you.” I say with a trembling breath.
My father was dead, and the man who killed him was standing right beside me this very minute.

Lilith Deville is the new enigma at Lakeside Preparatory Academy, a prestigious high school by a river and not a lake, which makes sense, not. Already she hates it despite its beautiful landscape.

Between riding her dirt bike through the sacred lands of the natives, plotting against those she meets, and holding greasy truckers at gunpoint, Lilith makes no time for love or friendship. Forever the walking mystery (read misery) of her new home and school.

That is until Nokosi Locklear catches her eye with his arrogance and a hard, toned body that she’s certain she doesn’t want to climb.

Shoved up against a locker by him in her first week, she sets him in her wicked sights.

Life is only fun when you have somebody else’s pain to focus on. So long as you stay detached. Something Lilith will find is impossible to do when it comes to Nokosi. A guy with looks but no charm. Strength but no power. Love but no morals.

With a serial killer roaming the States, taking victims one by one, a past in Nokosi’s eyes that he tries to hide, and a mother that would rather work than keep her daughters happy, Lilith finds plenty of time to spare and plenty of things to keep herself occupied.

Holly Leefe has seen it all. Being a medium keeps life interesting. Not that it needed any help. She already had a psychic for a husband and a clairsentient teenage daughter. Data analyst by day, ghost hunter by night. Unless it was football season. She did live in Texas after all.
This fall Holly and her husband Jesse are trying to help a widower and his fiancé discover why suddenly stilettos are being thrown through their TV. Plus a few other nuisance cases. As if helping the dead and raising a teenager wasn’t enough, the ghost of her grandmother won’t rest until the family home is returned to its 1980’s glory.

I’ve seen the living; I’ve seen the dead. I’ve seen angels and I’ve seen demons. No matter how many malevolent or benevolent beings I interacted with, none could terrify me as much as the spirit that walked through the door into the kitchen where I was cooking dinner. Mentally bracing myself, I stirred in chili powder to the ground beef on the stove before I acknowledged the woman that was now looking over my shoulder.
“That’s too much seasoning. It’s going to be too spicy.” I turned to face the food police. “You need to call your mother.” It was an order, not a request. I raised an eyebrow, inviting her to explain. “She won’t listen to reason.”
“Are you two still feuding?” She had been fighting with my mother for the last two and a half years. I’d inherited the “gift” from my mother who had gotten it from my grandmother and so on and so forth. They didn’t need me to pass messages back and forth. She seemed to have forgotten that I had refused to get involved.

"So, are you ready?" Lucia asked with a bright smile, her tone almost too cheerful.
"You remember everything, right? Isaac's favorite meal, Elias's schedule—"
"Yes, Maria, I remember everything," she cut in, rolling her eyes. "I stayed up all night memorizing and practicing it all."
The final toast was coming. After that, Lucia would take her place in the car…and Maria would disappear.
He runs a hand through his hair, the weight of it all pressing on his shoulders.
"You think I married you out of pity? You think I hate your silence? No. I hate that your silence keeps me locked out. That I love you… and you'll never hear it."
To the world, Maria is the perfect silent wife—beautiful, obedient, and deaf.
But behind closed doors, she hears everything, including the love her cold billionaire husband swears he'll never confess.

He thinks he's lost the only woman he's ever loved.
She may never make it back to him alive.

"Put this on tomorrow," he expained, "You're going to tell the press that Bella cheated on me, and that's when we started dating. When Bella found out, she tried to break us up. When that didn't work, she blackmailed you into posting the photo. That way, it looks like I hate you- but we've already reconciled."
How did I get myself into this kind of mess?


Laura finds herself in a devastating dilemma when her mother is kidnapped. Her captors demand she post a photo of Eric Sloan- the son of a multi-billionaire- together with Damien Avery, the prime minister's son, and tag them as gay lovers. To save her mother, Laura reluctantly follows through.
But the fallout is swift.
Her post draws the wrath of Eric Sloan along with his powerful family and legions of loyal fans.
To control the narrative and erase the rumors, Eric gives her a shocking ultimatum: marry him. Publicly, it will discredit the scandal. Privately, it's his way of punishing her.
He promises himself one thing- he'll ruin her.
But as layers of deception peel away, Eric's thirst for revenge twists into something far more dangerous: obsession. Now, all he wants is to protect her, claim her, own her- and keep her trapped in his dark abyss.

A fake engagement. A kidnapped mother. A billionaire who demands a bride.

Blogger Laura Karma had a choice: risk her mother's life or post a lie that would destroy billionaire Eric Sloan's spotless reputation. She chose the lie, exposing Eric as "gay" and plunging his world into scandal.

Now, she's in his crosshairs. Arrogant, cold, and vengeful, Eric offers a cruel, inescapable deal: marry him for one year to repair his public image, or he will use his power to ruin her life and expel her brother from Harvard. Trapped with her mother's fate hanging in the balance, Laura is forced to agree to become the fake Mrs. Sloan.

A marriage built on lies, threats, and betrayal shouldn't breed love, but the closer Laura gets to her husband, the more the lines between acting and reality begin to blur. Yet, with Eric's ruthless business rival Aaron and his own sister Agatha plotting their downfall, their fake union is the only thing standing against a world determined to tear them apart.

When the contract ends, will Laura walk away with her life intact, or will she lose her heart to the very man who vowed to make her existence a living hell?

Then came the Mating Ceremony, a night of lunar magic. At the sacred lake, her true mate appeared. Just when she thought her life was about to change for the better.......her true mate turned out to be Alpha Garrick. The man she'd deceived.

"Fate's a cruel joke," I whispered, tears streaming down my face as I stared up to look at him.

"Or a challenge," he replied as he leaned in closer, his eyes burning with a possessive fire. "Are you brave enough to accept it?"

But just as their bond began to ignite, even though she still pretended to be her sister, Morgana. Her sister, the true Morgana returned, claiming her rightful place. Torn between duty, desire, and a web of lies, Silvana must choose: Claim her fated mate, or surrender to the deceit that binds them?

Milo and Esmeralda made a deal.

When the media brings up an old video of them promising each other to start dating if they're both single at 21, they have no choice but to yield at their fans' wishes.

Pretending they're a happy couple, when in reality they want to kill each other won't be that bad, right ?

I died the night before my wedding, betrayed by the man I loved and the friend I trusted more than anyone. I thought death would be the end.
Instead, I woke up in another woman’s body. The same queen that ordered my death. And the mother of two pups who now look at me like I am their whole world.

But the cruelest twist is Alpha King Lucien Silver. The man who once loved the girl I used to be… and now stands beside me as my husband without knowing who I am. And with every passing day, I feel myself falling for him all over again.

Twenty years ago, four-year-old Alicia vanished from a park, falling from Connecticut's wealthiest heiress to an orphan overnight. Twenty years later, her birth parents find her working at a coffee shop, bringing her back to a life of luxury.

But behind the fairy tale reunion lurks deadly danger. A mysterious guardian angel named Gabriel begins sending her prophetic warnings about her family's impending doom. Yet Alicia, drunk on newfound happiness, dismisses these as mere hallucinations.

The price of her disbelief is devastating. Her father dies in a horse-riding accident at the country club. Months later, her mother perishes in a car crash on her way to a charity gala. Shattered by grief and guilt, Alicia leaps from a hospital rooftop in despair...

Only to wake up back on the day her parents found her.

This time, she vows to heed Gabriel's every prophecy and save her family. But as she follows the angel's guidance, she discovers that fate's wheels may not be so easily stopped...

The real test has only just begun.

When the armored car had room for only one passenger, Damian Russo chose me.

I was saved, but Lilia Brown didn't make it. She bled out in the crossfire, her body left in the rubble. Damian pretended he didn't care and married me as planned.

For three years, he made me pay for her death—beating me, starving me, blaming me for the fact that she was gone.

In the end, he drove us both off a cliff instead.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the docks on the night of the ambush. This time, I stepped aside and let him save the woman he truly loved.

While I bled to death locked in a storage room, my fiancé Adrian was holding my sister's hand, comforting her.

He hung up on my final call for help, leaving only a voicemail: "If anything happens to Lena, the engagement is off."

My sister once said her birthday wish had always been for me to disappear.

That night, her wish came true early.

But my soul never left.

I watched everyone gather around her, singing happy birthday.

As she blew out the candles, I whispered in her ear:

"Enjoy it while it lasts. This will be your last birthday."

"You're nothing but bad luck! You're just as vile and worthless as that wretched mother of yours!" My father's roar echoed through the room, punctuated by the sharp crack of his belt.

Through my tears, I tried to defend myself: "That's not true! My mom is a good person—she's a police officer!"

He let out a cold laugh: "Good person? Your mother was nothing but a slut! How dare you talk back to me!"

I turned desperately to my stepmother: "Please, make him stop..."

She just gave me a cold glance and walked away.

The beating continued until he was too exhausted.

When I became an adult, I finally escaped that house of horrors.

I thought that by working through college, writing novels to pay off my loans, life would finally get better.

But then...

I woke up on my neighbor's floor, clutching a blood-soaked knife, with blood splattered everywhere.

Had I killed someone?

This couldn't be happening... I would never hurt anyone!

When everyone saw me as a murderer, when the whole world turned against me...

He was the only one who stood by my side.

"I believe you," his voice rang out firmly in the courtroom.

Why does he want to help me?

I killed my elder brother, took over his identity, and indulged in everything he had worked so hard to gain.
Just when I thought life would stay perfect forever…
Years after my marriage, I came home one day ready for dinner.
My gaze froze firmly on the opposite side of the dining table.
There sat a ragged little boy covered all over in dirt and grime.
His face… looked exactly like mine ten years ago.

"How much longer are you going to drag this out?! "My husband, Julian, kicked the bathroom door open, violently snapping my lipstick in half. "I don't have time to waste on a psycho. Find your own way to the gala!"
He snatched the unlabeled bottle from the vanity, dry-swallowed two capsules, and slammed it back down before driving off.
When I arrived at the gala alone, his mother asked where he was.
"He'll be here later," I said with a perfect smile.
But I knew he would never make it.

An arrange marriage in the 21st century, a cruel husband, and a runaway wife. As per her adopted parents’ wishes, Annalise was forced to marry her adoptive step-brother and spend the rest of her life with this oh-so-gorgeous husband. If you think about it, there isn’t much of a problem. Her adopted parents are nice people, and she had a good life even after her parents died. The only problem is that her soon-to-be husband has always despised her, and he had a girlfriend who abandoned him after learning of their planned marriage.
Their marriage did not turn out the way they had hoped. He has caused her a great deal of pain. She bolted from him. He was left on his own, devastated from her disappearance.
Will their long-awaited romance get a second chance? Is it true that love is sweeter the second time around?

I gave him seventeen chances to marry me, yet he eagerly toasts with his new flame, showers her with gifts, and retreats to hotels with her.
He has forgotten that I do not have pierced ears, presenting me annually with earrings I can never wear; he has overlooked our seven-year anniversary but vividly remembers the one-year anniversary of his new lover's employment.
Seventeen promises of marriage, each one an empty promise; seven years of devoted affection, ultimately reduced to a mere laughingstock.
So I flew straight to his worst nightmare—Mexico.
And let him burn in the regret he never earned.

"Strip."
"What?"
"You really need me to spell it for you? Do your job and strip."
His tongue explored her mouth aggressively as he groaned and pressed his naked bod on her.
"W-wait...Raven."
No, not yet. He didn't want to hear from her that she'll leave him just yet.
"Ah. Ah! Wait. Please. R-raven."
"Ngh."
"H-hah! G-gentle please."
"Who do you belong to?"
Silence.
Raven smacked her butt cheeks, leaving angry red marks on her skin. It was beautiful. "Y-yours."
"Louder, kitten. Who do you belong to?!"
"YOURS. I'M YOURS, RAVEN. YOURS ALONE."


"You see. That was my problem, baby. I couldn’t forget you after that night. I wouldn’t want our time together to last for only a night."
A one night stand with a man in exchange for cash. It was supposed to be that simple for Therese, a struggling college student who was in desperate need of money. Although she could not forget the handsome stranger who took her virginity, she willed herself to move on and look for a more stable source of income. But the next day, Therese received an email from a man named Raven Desmond, offering her a babysitting job with a suspiciously huge pay. For some reason, she thought she knew that name before and curiosity led her to accept the job. She was shocked to learn that Raven was the same man who gave her an unforgettable night.
Raven Desmond had it all. He is young, handsome, and the heir to a billion-dollar tech company called DesmondTech. Despite being a single dad, he could have any woman he wanted and Therese was no exception. After their one night stand, he was left craving for more. Specifically, her body. It was a coincidence that his 5-year old son, Keith Desmond, was needing a nanny when he saw that she was needing a job. Raven will do anything to have the best of both worlds. He wasted no time and sought for Therese as he gave her a once in a lifetime opportunity that she wouldn’t be able to resist.
Therese’s life took an unexpected turn when she found herself becoming a nanny by day and Raven’s personal escort by night. Surprisingly, she found herself growing attached to her job and slowly falling in love with Raven. But the question remains: will she be able to leave as planned when the babysitting deal has finally come to an end?

Dante, Nikolai and Enzo

My bodyguards.
My captors.

I’m a medical student. I’m supposed to study for exams, not stitch up gunshot wounds and listen to bloody stories that make my thighs press together.

I should hate them.I should be begging to go home and not aching for the men that might destroy me.

Instead, I let them pin me to the wall, big bodies caging me in, heat rolling off their skin as rough hands toy with the buttons of my shirt.

One of them leans down and growls in my ear,
“We’ve wanted to do this since the first day we laid eyes on you kitten”

I'm a figure skating prodigy from one of the wealthiest families in the country. I'm also an idiot.

I believed that if I was kind enough, people would be kind in return. So I sponsored Haley Dunning, a scholarship skater on our team, and treated her like my own little sister.

The day before the NCAA qualifier, she came up to me with a sports drink, said she wanted to help keep my energy up.

I drank it. Went down on the ice with a broken leg. Drug test came back positive for banned stimulants.

Overnight, I went from the queen of the rink to the face of a scandal no one could stop talking about.

Expelled from school. Torn apart on social media. Calloway Corporation's stock in freefall.

Haley stood in front of the cameras, tears in her eyes: "Piper just wanted to win so badly. I never thought she'd go this far..."

I fell into a depression. Couldn't sleep without medication.

Then one day, she showed up at my hospital room with my boyfriend, bearing "comfort": a cup of water and a few pills: "Piper, take your meds, okay? This is all my fault for being so stupid..."

Three minutes later, I'm coughing up blood, convulsing on the floor.

Right before I died, I caught the look on her face. That sweet, innocent face. A slow, vicious smile spreading across it.

She knocked over the pill bottle and started screaming: "I grabbed the wrong ones! I mixed up her antidepressants with some old person's heart meds! I'm so stupid!"

My boyfriend pulled her into his arms. Didn't even glance at me dying on the floor: "She meant well. Piper just had bad luck."

I was poisoned to death in that hospital room.

Then I opened my eyes, and it was the day before the qualifier.

Oh, God, I am going to be sick, and I can't stand Jayson Woods!

"So, why are you staring over at him, Ashely? My inner voice inside my mind told me with a smug voice.

"I am not!
Oh, shut up! I spoke.
I looked over at him with two girls under his arms.
Oh, Look at him! Like he doesn't have a care in the world. He makes me sick.

Asshole!

He is such a man whore.
"Well, what do you expect with the kind of guys.
They are called man whore for a reason. So, envoy, my wolf, said inside my mind with a growl. She is not happy with what he's been doing with the other girls, not us.
Of course, he doesn't care. He doesn't care about our feelings. As long he gets some.
So, screw him and his sexy devilish melt your panties smile.
I don't need him.
But then again...
I am curious...
So, I wonder if he knew it was me, he was kissing and touching me last month at Emilia's birthday party where I was hiding away from the loud music and noise.
But instead, I ran into him.
And we ughhh, I scream inside my head.

We had sex!
We had sex!!
I kept repeat in my head.

We all have secrets. Especially me!
