On her sixteenth birthday, Harper Reed wakes to find her house… wrong. The walls are the wrong color, the furniture is off, and her parents have vanished—leaving behind only echoes: strange knocks, half-erased chalk lines, and a birthday card in her mother’s hand that shouldn’t exist. With her best friend Morgan, the binder-wielding realist, and Lila, the girl who sees more than she should, Harper unravels a mystery of rifts in reality, whispered voices that sound like her parents, and something darker listening on the other side. What begins as a haunted morning spirals into a fight to uncover why the Reed bloodline is bound to the rifts, who’s knocking from beyond, and whether courage—and donuts—are enough to face what waits in the dark. Rifts is a YA fantasy-thriller about mystery, friendship, sarcastic humor, and a girl who discovers her house isn’t just a home—it’s a key.

A mafia king’s mate turns out to be a human?!

“W-what are you doing?” I whisper, but the look in his eyes says it all.

A few years ago, a series of scientific research buildings were attacked. The chemicals from those research facilities had seeped into our water supply and slowly manipulated our DNA. Last year was the first report of someone showing a hint of supernatural abilities. Then another and another until suddenly, there were people with abilities popping up all over the place.

People with abilities were either feared or envied.
I have tried hiding my ability for as long as I can. My ability would have me locked up and used until there was nothing left of me. The ability to heal is a gift everyone would want to take advantage of, so I never use it…ever.

Until... I meet him.

Julian. My college classmate.
My boss of The Hell Club.
The Mafia King.
My...mate.

What we didn't know at the time was that these so-called DNA alterations were all werewolf genes growing inside the human body. And he, Julian... is my mate.
And my ability will send me to hell in fear. The government, the underworld, people all over the world... They need me.

But she couldn't leave her twin brother who is in danger there and there is this tiny little fact that Mr. Alexander Antonio Aldine, the CEO of Triple A Group definitely won't let her go.

Nineteen-year-old Mila has no room for dreams. She only has room for survival.

In a cramped Brooklyn apartment, Mila plays a dangerous game of pretend. She pretends to her younger sisters that they aren't three days away from the lights going out. She pretends to her exhausted parents that she doesn’t mind being the "third parent." And she pretends to herself that the scholarship to the city's most elite university will be her ticket out of the gutter.

But the elite world doesn't welcome outsiders; it devours them.

Enter Nathaniel Salvatore. Cold, untouchable, and heir to a shipping empire that owns half the city. To Nate, Mila is a "fixture"—a charity case whose presence at his university is an insult to his legacy. He sets out to make her regret every step she takes on his campus.

But when a devastating accident binds their lives together, Nate's cruelty turns into something much more dangerous: obsession.

As Mila’s parents descend into a world of gambling debts and disappearances, leaving her to protect her sisters alone, Nate makes an offer she can't refuse. He will pay for their safety. He will pay for the lights to stay on. But the price is Mila herself.

From the gritty streets of Brooklyn to the mahogany-lined libraries of the elite, Mila finds herself trapped between two worlds. One man wants to save her, another wants to own her, and Mila is just trying to survive the man who wants both.

In a world where everything has a price, what happens when the Heir decides to claim the only thing he can't buy?

Dr. Ellie Winslow is a woman whose life runs on spreadsheets and rigorous control. After surviving a devastating childhood attack by her father, she built an academic sanctuary, choosing partners who would never trigger the overwhelming protective instincts of her three older brothers.

But stability shatters the day she catches her boyfriend cheating.

Just hours later, she finds herself reluctantly accepting a deal from Rhys Vance, Formula 1's most disciplined and annoyingly perfect CEO. Rhys isn't just a world-class competitor; he's her brothers' best friend and the one person Ellie desperately wishes would stay out of her life. Seizing the opportunity presented by her sudden chaos, Rhys whisks Ellie onto his private jet, effectively co-opting her. He hires her as his personal strategist, forcing her into a suffocating, global proximity across the F1 season. Rhys's relentless precision feels like a subtle critique of her messy existence, rooted in a shared history that makes her trust his duty, but never his heart.

Trapped between continents and beneath Rhys’s controlling gaze, Ellie filters his quiet, relentless attention as clinical duty; she misses the possessive gaze, the deep devotion, and the danger he hides behind his F1 precision.

Rhys knows the rule: Ellie is completely off-limits. To break the line means paying The Best Friend's Price—the loss of his brothers' loyalty, the end of his oldest bond. But the cost of not claiming Ellie might be the loss of his sanity, especially as the deepfakes, the corporate pressure, and the ghost of their shared traumatic past begin to stir. When an unsettling encounter with a rival threatens Ellie, Rhys must protect her with a ferocity that crosses every boundary he swore he’d uphold, forcing them to confront the dangerous truth about their connection.

“In this moment, I don’t care that he’s my boss, I don’t care that he once tried to kill me, I don’t care about anything other than getting as close to him as humanly possible. I break our kiss to press Caleb’s chest, guiding him so that he is sitting back against the bench seat, then I swing my leg over both of his, straddling him. I settle myself down into his lap, only to feel his hard cock press into...”

Sloane Vance is the 4th Precinct’s best detective—sharp, cynical, and dangerously observant. When a routine stakeout at a coastal warehouse turns into a bloodbath, she finds herself staring into the eyes of a monster. But the man standing amidst the carnage isn't a common criminal. He is Fenris Volkov, the "Enforcer" of the city’s most brutal Syndicate, and a creature out of a dark, predatory myth.
Fenris’s orders were simple: Leave no witnesses. But the moment he catches Sloane’s scent, his inner wolf snaps its leash. For the first time in a century, the legendary Scent Lock is triggered. Instead of ending her life, Fenris abducts her, dragging her into a world of silver-laced glass, primal politics, and ancient blood-feuds.
Trapped in Fenris’s high-tech penthouse, Sloane becomes a "confiscation" of the Volkov line. As a detective, she tries to profile her captor. As a woman, she finds her body betraying her to the "current"—a magnetic, biological pull that demands she submit to the man who holds her key.
But Sloane is no ordinary human. She carries the dormant "Null" gene—a genetic anomaly that makes her the ultimate stabilizer for a Lycan on the edge of madness. As the city descends into a "Red Market" war and Fenris’s father, the Alpha Primus, demands her execution, Sloane must choose her side.
From the claustrophobia of a penthouse to the ritualistic fires of a Lycan coup, Sloane and Fenris forge a bond of blood and ash. To survive the Syndicate, the detective must become an accomplice, and the enforcer must become a king.
One scent to bind them. One crown to break them. One empire to burn it all down.

I was a penniless nobody looked down upon by everyone. My wife was bullied along with me because of that. People treated us like beggars, bullying us as they pleased, forcing me to lick their toes, and making me eat with dogs.
Then one day, a stranger came to me and said, "Your father left you a fortune of five hundred billion dollars..."

I served five years in prison for someone else. After getting out, they repaid my kindness with cruelty — they bullied and humiliated me and my wife. They thought I would endure it, thought I couldn't take revenge. But they had no idea that I am the new leader of the Mafia. Those who have wronged us will not be spared...
