Boomer’s story is about a boy split into three lives — before, during, and after Penelope Vales. Before her, he was just a kid running from a broken past, enlisting in the army to prove himself and earning his nickname through failure, grit, and loyalty. During her, he fell quietly, painfully, for the girl he could never have, standing beside her boyfriend and forcing himself to swallow what he felt while still protecting her in every way he could. After her, and after things crumbled with Mila, he’s left adrift — no uniform, no love, no clear identity — and has to learn how to rebuild himself piece by piece, to stop defining his worth by battles or by people he couldn’t keep, and finally figure out who he is when all that’s left is him.

She was a witch. He was a demon. Two species that loathed, hated, and despised one another. Luana has one mission: invade the Demon King's palace and wreak enough havoc to leave nothing standing. Only then can she join the "Sisters", the highest rank a witch can attain. But fate has other plans. Captured and forced to face the Demon King himself, Luana comes face-to-face with Riccardo Castellano—a ruthless, heartless ruler. She despises him. He wants nothing to do with her kind and initially decides to kill her. But after learning from an informant that Luana is a Golden Witch—a rarity that appears only once every hundred years a witch with rare magical abilities, The Demon King changes his mind. Instead of killing her, he binds her to himself. Cursed to use her magic to aid the very kingdom she hates, Luana is devastated, humiliated, and consumed by rage. More than anything, she wants to break the binding spell and end the king's life. But surviving in a kingdom full of demons is no easy task. Will she ever be free? Will she survive in a land lurking with dark secrets and deadly truths? Find out in Shadow Bound.

After I gained the ability to read minds, my senior, who had taken care of me for years, thought: "What a shame I didn't install a camera in her bathroom..."

My senior was handsome, wealthy, and had a gentle personality. I thought I must have misheard, but the next day, I found a tiny hidden camera in my bathroom.

In a panic, the innocent junior who had been pursuing me for half a year suddenly showed up at my door.

"If she doesn't agree today, I'll just drug her. I've wasted too much time already."

My mind went blank. Trembling, I forced a smile and let him in.

She rules a cybersecurity empire by day and a mafia dynasty from the shadows. He came to Sentinel Dynamics for his dream job—and stayed because of the woman he could never stop thinking about.

Amy Moretti doesn't believe in trust. As the brilliant CEO of Sentinel Dynamics, she's leading the race to develop ARES, a revolutionary AI system designed to protect America's critical infrastructure from cyber warfare. Behind closed doors, she's also the hidden strategist of one of the country's most powerful mafia families, where every decision can mean the difference between survival and death.

Mark Romano sees patterns no one else can. His extraordinary mind earns him a place at Sentinel—and an unexpected connection with the one woman determined to keep everyone at arm's length. Every challenge they solve together chips away at Amy's carefully built defenses, while every sincere word from her makes Mark lose his composure in ways he can't explain.

Neither of them knows the truth.

Their families have been sworn enemies for generations.

In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and betrayal hides behind every smile, the greatest risk isn't losing the contract.

It's falling in love with the enemy.

He reached down and found her clit and gently massaged it. She was a virgin, so he tried to control his urge to drive himself into her. He spread her legs even further giving her a questioning look. She smiled and nodded her head. He put himself into her and slowly and gently pushed, he did not want to hurt her.


Nirka is a hybrid, She is the ruler of her Realm. She learns that her father is holding a town meeting in the Royal Council Hall to discuss whether they should help the human race or let it destroy its self. She wants to save humanity, but she falls in love with Devon after rescuing him he is total infatuated with her.

Seren Vale has spent a lifetime concealing the forbidden magic that was never meant for her. But when this power blazes to life without warning, the kingdom brands her the Chosen One of a centuries-old prophecy—destined to slay the Shadow Prince, the terror who haunts every realm.
Her desperate escape leads her straight into the clutches of the very monster she’s sworn to destroy. Kaelith, cursed by shadows that gnaw at his soul each night, feared by all… yet instead of striking her down, he saves her.
Bound by an unbreakable, unexplainable power, Seren becomes the only thing standing between Kaelith and the curse that’s slowly devouring him. As fate weaves their lives into a tangled web, she’s forced to confront a truth more terrifying than any prophecy:
The deadliest danger isn’t the destiny that demands she kill him—it’s the forbidden, blazing bond that’s growing between them, threatening to burn down everything they know.

Thessaly "Thess" Ashenheart is not a princess. She is a mistake—a cursed, magic-less anomaly tucked away in the ruins of her conquered kingdom, Lumenvale. But when her brother is captured, she trades the last scrap of her freedom to the only being terrifying enough to accept the bargain: Davorin Noctis, the Shadow King.

Davorin, the immortal ruler who destroyed her family, is a monster bound by his own curse: the death-touch. A single brush of his skin drains the life from anything it meets. Their alliance is meant to be a political cage, but when the King's death-touch inexplicably fails to kill Thess, the court is thrown into chaos. She is declared the "Sun-Bonded," the subject of a prophecy demanding she fuse her soul and power with the very man she swore to hate.

Trapped in the gothic splendor of the Shadow Realm, Thess must navigate a court riddled with assassins, treachery, and the seductive closeness of a man who is terrifyingly cold and devastatingly vulnerable. As her hidden dream-walking power awakens—the very magic that cursed her—she discovers the devastating truth: Davorin is not the villain; he is a tormented host for The Void Wraith, an ancient cosmic entity clawing its way back to consume the world.

Now, Thess must choose between loyalty to her vengeful family and the desperate love growing for the King who needs her light to survive. With the Void launching a brutal invasion and Davorin slipping into a final, terrifying possession, Thess realizes their only hope lies in completing the impossible Sun-Bond. It's a magical union that demands the sacrifice of their autonomy, their identities, and possibly their lives, performed on a bloody battlefield as their kingdom crumbles.

Can a princess who was born broken merge her soul with the monster who destroyed her world?

“You think you can live without me?” Derek’s voice was low, with a suggestion of something dark, something dangerous.

I should’ve backed away. I should’ve been scared. But instead heat curled in my stomach as he slammed me against the wall and pressed up against his body against mine.

“I don’t need you,” I whispered, even as my breath stuttered when his fingers dragged a slow, torturous line down my arm.

He grinned, eyes of gold pinning to mine as if taunting me to refuse we were shared the same very air. “Liar.”

His lips crushed against mine, stealing my air, stealing my resolve. He tasted like fire and fury, like a war I was already losing. My fingers hold his shirt, torn between pushing him away and pulling him closer to me.

"You are mine, Claire," he growled against my throat, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin there. "Whether you run or not."

But I wasn’t the same weak I once was. I had fought for my freedom. And no matter how much my body betrayed me, I wasn’t sure I was ready to give it up again.

Not even for him.

Heizel Hill is a talented and elusive chef who works her magic in the kitchen of Blue Moon, a cozy, high-end restaurant that has quickly become the talk of Manhattan. Over the past three years, she has carefully curated an intimate dining experience for her patrons, delighting them with her culinary skills. But despite the acclaim, Heizel has chosen to stay behind the scenes, not wanting the spotlight or the attention that comes with it. She’s proud of her work, but uncomfortable with her identity.

When Matthew Scott walks into Blue Moon, Heizel can’t help but notice him. Tall, striking, and undeniably handsome, Matthew is the co-owner of EES Security, a global security firm that runs multiple subsidiaries. Heizel knows exactly who he is, but she’s not prepared for the way his presence makes her feel. Despite her attempts to keep a low profile, she’s pulled into a dangerous game with Matthew—one that will lead her down a path she never saw coming.

As their connection deepens, Matthew’s pursuit of Heizel takes an unexpected turn. What started as innocent flirtation quickly escalates into a high-stakes challenge, and soon Heizel finds herself torn between the safety of her secrets and the undeniable chemistry she shares with him. But as Matthew gets closer to the truth about who she really is, Heizel begins to wonder: will he still love her when he learns the whole story? And, more importantly, will they survive the dangerous forces that are about to collide in their lives?

Shadow of Love is a story of love, secrets, and survival, exploring the vulnerability that comes with opening up to someone while navigating the perilous consequences of a past that refuses to stay hidden.

Noah is broke, exhausted, and one bad decision away from losing everything.
Accidentally binding himself to a three-hundred-year-old demon wasn’t part of the plan.

Kael is ancient, sharp-tongued, and deeply unimpressed with modern life. Being tethered to a human is inconvenient. Being unable to break the pact is worse.
But when memories begin slipping and a silent presence starts watching from the shadows their uneasy partnership turns into a fight for survival.
With a tether binding them together and trauma's cold hand on their shoulder, these two see and survive situations they rather not repeat.

This is slow-burn BL urban fantasy with psychological thriller elements, supernatural tension, and morally gray choices.

Death has never been so carefully balanced.

When a prominent banker is found dead in an apparent suicide, Detective Mira Ellison expects another routine case—until she discovers a black book hidden beneath his chair. Inside are dozens of names: politicians, judges, journalists, even police officers. Some are already dead, their endings ruled accidents or natural causes. Others are still alive… for now.

The book is titled The Shadow Ledger.

As Mira digs deeper, she realizes the ledger is more than a record—it is a prophecy, a contract, a death sentence written in advance. Each name is a debt, and someone in the shadows is making sure those debts are paid in blood.

But then Mira finds her own name inside. Not crossed out. Not yet.

Now, hunted by a faceless syndicate that calls itself The Accountant’s Circle, Mira must race to expose a conspiracy older and darker than the city itself. Every step she takes uncovers another secret, every lead another body. The deeper she goes, the clearer one truth becomes:

Some debts can never be repaid.

And some names were never meant to be read.

The shadow ledger

They called me Specter. The King of Assassins. The deadliest blade in the Viper Syndicate's history. I never knew fear until the day my own brother in blood put a knife in my heart and threw me off a cliff.
I should have died.
Instead, I woke up in the body of Liana Vex, the discarded, illegitimate daughter of the most powerful duke in the kingdom. A girl so broken by abuse and grief that her spirit had already faded. In her final moments, she left me one desperate wish: Make them pay.
So I made a pact with a ghost. Her pain would become my fuel. Her enemies would become my prey.
Now I walk among the nobility in a body everyone calls weak. They see a fragile girl who should have died in the gutter. They don't see the killer standing in her shadow.
My former organization thinks they buried their king. They're about to learn that dead things don't always stay dead.
My new family thinks I'm a ghost they can ignore. They're about to discover that ghosts make the worst enemies.
And then there's him, the rogue mercenary with the sharp smile and sharper blade. The only person who sees through my masks. My rival. My equal. The wolf who should know better than to chase a shadow.
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I intend to serve it frozen, bloody, and with interest.
The Viper Syndicate took my life. The Vex family took Liana's. I'm going to take everything they have.
And this time? I won't miss it.

“I don't want the cops.” Thompson resumed. “I want you. You're one of the very best detectives I know,"

A wave of silence passed, causing Thompson to grab his glass and finish whatever drink was left in it. He dropped the glass and turned into his friend one more time.

“I need you to help me find out who killed my wife and took my daughter.” The words poured out of him slowly. And dangerously.

Whoever it was, he was going to sniff them out.

And he was going to make them pay.


After five years of fighting for his country on the battlefield, Thompson Holbrook finally returns home, hoping to reunite with his family. But instead of warm embraces, he is met with tragedy.

His wife has been brutally murdered, and his daughter has vanished without a trace.

Grief nearly consumes him, but before he can process his loss, he is pulled into a larger fight. A deadly terrorist group, The Calvary, is on the verge of unleashing a powerful biochemical weapon that could wipe out the entire country and destroy the continent.

To stop them, National Security Adviser Jacob Russel recruits Thompson to lead an elite black-ops unit whose sole mission is to take down The Calvary before it's too late. But the deeper they go, the deadlier the mission becomes. Corruption runs deeper than they could ever imagine, and soon, Thompson begins to question who the real enemy is.

Can he dismantle The Calvary, uncover the truth behind his wife’s murder, and rescue his daughter from the shadows before it’s too late?

"I can feel it," he said with his back still turned to me.

"What?"

"You eye-raping me," he chuckled and turned around.

"Don't you own a shirt?" I rolled my eyes at him, trying to keep my cool. "And why are you calling me out here for?"

Ryder smirked. He cleaned his hands with a towel and tossed it off somewhere. "To pick up where we left off," he said as he stalked towards me.

“They want you dead.” I managed to say, my voice barely audible.

“I don't care!” He yelled.

“Its not possible, the two most powerful Mafia's want you dead,Dante.” The tears I tried so hard to conceal all came pouring down. I didn't want to leave him. I didn't want to go.

Twenty-four-year-old Seraphine Blackwood thought she was just another broke witch selling protection charms in Chicago, until a demon lord crashed through her window and a vampire warrior kicked down her door, both claiming she's the key to ending a thousand-year war.
Turns out, she's the last Shadow Witch. The one from the prophecy. The one who's supposed to choose which supernatural species survives and which burns.
Now she's trapped between two worlds: the Nightfall Court where brooding vampire Kael Thorne has blood-bonded her without consent, and the Shadow Realm where the dangerously seductive demon lord Azrael offers her the freedom and power she craves. Both want to use her. Both are sworn enemies. And she's falling for them both.
But when the Veil between worlds begins to shatter and an ancient evil rises, Sera realizes the prophecy got it wrong. She's not here to choose a side. She's here to unite them or watch everything burn.
The problem? Her best friend's family betrayed hers centuries ago. The vampire she's bound to has been lying to her. The demon she's falling for is cursed and dying. And the war that's coming will demand a sacrifice she's not sure she can make.
When enemies become lovers, sparks aren't the only things that fly. 🔥

Roxanne never imagined her life would be reduced to a transaction. At sixteen, her parents abandon her, trading her for money to the household of her father’s older brother and his elegant wife, a childless couple desperate for an heir.

Though disguised as family duty, Roxanne knows the truth: she is nothing more than a solution to their problem, a sacrifice to preserve a legacy.

Yet it is not her uncle’s cold, watchful eyes that linger in her thoughts, it is his wife. Alexandra Romanov, with her graceful and composed demeanor, effortlessly embraces privilege, yet a quiet, aching loneliness lurks beneath her poise.

Unsure how to treat a teenage girl, unsure even how to be a mother, Alexandra turns to bedtime stories, whispered tales meant to comfort a frightened child. But in the stillness of the night, the stories deepen into something far more dangerous: unspoken desires, tender confessions, and an intimacy neither woman dares name.

As Roxanne struggles with her role as pawn in her uncle’s scheme, she finds herself bound to the one person she was meant to call stepmother. Love blooms in shadows, hidden in hushed words and stolen touches, but in a household ruled by control and appearances, every moment of tenderness risks exposure.

Trapped between duty, desire, and her longing for freedom, Roxanne must decide whether her “bedtime story” with Alexandra will remain a secret dream or spark a rebellion that could unravel the family’s fragile facade forever.
