'Chris, stop, please!', I cried. 'What does this have to do with my mother?'

"Be a good girl if you don't want to be heard. " He smirked.
……
Then Celeste escapes and he hasn't found out who she really is.
It's her dirty secret ...... How long can she hide it?

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.

“Just this once…” He said, his voice low and desperate.
“You said that last time,” I whispered, my pulse racing beneath his touch.

​Hayes’s mouth curved into that dangerous smirk as he pinned my wrists above my head, his breath hot against my skin.
“Then lie,” he murmured, trailing his finger down my bare thigh. “Lie and say you don’t want me.”


​At eighteen, I was supposed to be thinking about normal things—college, friends, and a future.

​Not him.

​Not the boy who grew up in our house as my brother’s best friend, and the man who now lives down the hall as my stepbrother.

​Everything changed the day our parents got married. I knew I should have let go of the feelings I’d been carrying for years. I tried to bury them. God knows I did.

​But Hayes Montgomery won’t let me.

​He’s everything I shouldn’t want—a hockey star. A campus obsession. The kind of guy who breaks rules and hearts without even trying. Off-limits in every possible way.

​But the way he watches me makes it clear I’m the one thing he will never let go of. And the night our lips finally collided, I realized it was only the beginning.

​Giving in will ruin everything we call family and every secret our parents had tried to hide. But we are already too deep in this game, and Hayes has no intention of playing by the rules.

The day I died in a foreign country, my boyfriend was in the spotlight with another woman.

He's the man I built from nothing. Five years ago, I saved a broke orphan fresh out of college from the gutter. He said he wanted to be famous, wanted to make it to the top of the hockey world. In exchange, he became my boyfriend for five years.

I gave him the best coaching staff money could buy. Bought an entire hockey franchise and made him the centerpiece. Called in every favor I had to make him MVP.

But while he enjoyed everything I gave him, he refused to make our relationship public. Said it would "hurt his brand." He could make headlines with reporters and models, but nobody could know I existed.

He even said on national TV: "Those owners who just throw money around are pretty boring. Hockey is about skill, not money."

So why did he lose his mind when he found out I was dead?

His Empire, Her Heart

A Dark Mafia Romance by MAUCMORAH

He built an empire from blood.
She came to destroy it.
Neither expected to fall in love.

Lorenzo De Luca is a man forged in power and shadow — the billionaire heir to Italy’s most feared crime dynasty. In Milan’s glittering skyline, he is untouchable: cold, calculating, and dangerously magnetic. Behind every whispered deal and ruthless command lies a man bound by loyalty, haunted by a past soaked in betrayal. To his enemies, he’s a devil. To his empire, a king. And to the world, a mask of control.

Isabella Romano has spent years feeding her hatred. The De Luca name destroyed her family, and now she’s returned to make Lorenzo pay. Disguised and determined, she steps into his world of luxury, deceit, and violence — a world where every smile hides a threat and every secret can kill. But when she looks into his eyes, she sees the truth no one dares to face: beneath the monster lies a man capable of love.

What begins as deception turns to obsession. Passion becomes peril. And when the truth finally surfaces, both must face the price of their sins. Because in a world ruled by blood and loyalty, love is the one crime that can’t be forgiven.

Torn between vengeance and desire, Isabella must choose: destroy the man who ruined her life… or surrender to the man who could save her soul.
And Lorenzo must decide what matters more — the empire he built… or the woman who could bring it to its knees.

In his world, love isn’t salvation. It’s surrender.

The gun trembled in my hand as I pressed it against my father's temple.
"Give me one reason not to pull this trigger."
He didn't even flinch. "Because you're smart enough to know a corpse can't pay debts. They'll kill you next."
"You sold me." My voice cracked. "To him. To the man whose people murdered Mama."
"Dante Caravelli gets you, and I get to keep breathing. Simple math."
I lowered the gun, but not because I forgave him. Because I had a better plan.
If my father is sending me into the monster's lair, I'd make sure the monster paid for everything he'd taken from me.
Starting with his empire.
Ending with his life.

Lilith Rosetti enters Dante Caravelli’s world with one mission: destroy the man she believes murdered her mother. Sold to settle her father’s debt, she becomes a servant in the Caravelli fortress, perfect cover to infiltrate his empire and take everything from him.
But Dante is colder and more controlled than any monster she imagined, and the only crack in his armour is his lonely five-year-old daughter… who clings to Lilith like she’s the only light left in their home.
As Lilith gains Dante’s trust, the lines between vengeance and desire blur. But she’d soon find out that there is much more trouble brewing than her revenge plan because in the mafiaworld, chaos and destruction are everlasting.
She came to ruin him.
He might be the only one who can save her.
And in the underworld, love is just another weapon.

He’s too dark for something so good and pure like that. Running into Avery was never supposed to happen. What is he supposed to do now?

Lucien Moreau has spent over four centuries mastering control. As a powerful, reclusive vampire and billionaire, he has accepted that eternity comes with one cruel limitation: monsters do not get families.

Then Isla Bennett crosses his path.

Human. Innocent. Untouched by love—and fiercely protective of the one thing she’s never given away. Drawn to Lucien despite every warning instinct, Isla awakens a hunger in him that has nothing to do with blood and everything to do with longing.

There is something different in her veins. Something that doesn’t weaken him in the sun. Something that calls to him not as prey, but as possibility.

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. Isla must decide if trusting a monster with her first surrender is worth stepping into a world of shadows, danger, and forbidden love.

Because the night does not give up its secrets easily.

And some forever stories are written in crimson.

Four years ago, I faked my death to escape my cruel husband, Aiden, and my evil sister. Now, I’ve returned as a powerful heiress, hiding my secret children.
I humiliated his mistress by making her pay millions for a painting I already owned, and when Aiden tried to corner me, I didn't beg—I slapped him.
But instead of anger, his eyes burned with obsession. He pinned me against the wall, whispering dangerously, "You can change your face, Keira, but you can't hide from me. Whose child is that?"
He thinks he still owns me? This time, I’m the one in control.

Until one night… he lets it slip in front of her.

Aria—his quiet, mysterious maid—accidentally walks in during one of his “episodes.” Fearing exposure, Lucien forces her to submit. She becomes his obsession, his possession, and his weakness. He thinks he's enslaving her desires, molding her body and soul to fulfill his every dark fantasy.

But Lucien doesn't know the truth.

Aria has been watching him for years.

And Aria… isn’t ordinary. With the power to manipulate thoughts and emotions, she lets him believe he’s in control—while pulling the strings from the shadows. Every move, every moment, was orchestrated by her. Even his darkest secrets… she already knows.

But in a world ruled by lust, lies, and layered betrayals—does Aria truly want Lucien’s love? Or is she playing a game so deep, even she can’t escape?

"Allow me to redeem myself," he continues."And use me—until you're okay."
For six years, Lumi thought she had everything: a steady relationship with her devoted fiancé, Caius, and the promise of a perfect future. But the night before her engagement party, Lumi walks in on a betrayal she never imagined, Caius in the arms of her own cousin, Wren.
With her heart shattered, Lumi decides it's time to stop being the good girl. She creates a daring "sin list"—ten bold rules to break before the year ends. Rule #1: seduce a stranger.
But when that stranger turns out to be none other than Caius' older brother, the dangerously alluring and untouchable Briggs, Lumi's game of revenge ignites a fire neither of them can control.
As each "sin" on her list pushes them closer, Lumi will have to decide if vengeance is worth the price, because loving him might be the most dangerous sin of all.

“Look at you,” he mocks, lust in his eyes as he frees his stiff cock.

He wraps one hand firmly around my throat and digs his fingers into my ass. We collide like two dying stars, our bodies flushed together, and the thick musk of sex in the room. I drag my nails down his back, taking him in deeper. He trembles in my hold.

“You say you hate me, yet … hmm, yet, you fuck me this good.” I whimper as he lengthens his thrusts, and my legs start to tremble.

A wicked grin flashes on his face, he tightens his hold around my neck, and reaches down for my clit. My whole body goes rigid as he pushes me closer to the peak.

“You are mine, Scarlett -- all pieces of you. You are mine. Lie to me all you want, nothing will change the fact that you are mine. Now, be a good girl and cum on my cock.”

She needed protection. He needed a wife.

When struggling designer Amara signs a one-year contract marriage with cold billionaire Adrian Wolfe, she promises herself one thing — never fall in love.
But love doesn't follow contracts.
One passionate night changes everything… and when Amara discovers she's pregnant, she believes it will finally make their fake marriage real. Instead, Adrian divorces her. Accused of betrayal. Branded a gold-digger. Thrown out without explanation.

"Work. Design your little dresses," Adrian whispered, his scent of cold rain and power enveloping me. "But remember, Amara—when the cameras are on, you are mine. When we are behind closed doors, you are a ghost."
"I've always been good at disappearing," I replied, signing my name on the dotted line.
I didn't know then that the Ice King had a fire in him that would burn my world to ashes. And I had no idea that in nine months, I would be running for my life, carrying the one thing he told me I could never have… His heir.

I gave him my innocence. He gave me a public rejection.
I gave him my everything. He handed me rejection on a silver plate.

Shattered and humiliated, I fled. I welcomed death. But fate was cruel: I was pregnant.

Three years later, I had to go back to the place where I'd been broken. Not for love, not for revenge. My secret son is dying, and the only cure is in Kael's blood. I plan to steal it and disappear. But I underestimated the Alpha. He caught me in the dark. He locked the door. And this time he looks at me, not with hatred, but with hunger.

"You stole from me, Maya," he growls. "Now, you are mine."

I pinch myself in hope that I am dreaming, that I am not actually laying n*ked beside the god of Edlin, in his regal bed!

I, a lowly servant of the Princess he is about to marry, I shouldn't be here. The punishment for my reckless actions will be death!

A soft groan leaves his luscious lips before his eyes open, clear of drunkenness.

A night with a drunken god leaves Taya with a burden that was never meant for a human to carry.

Emperor Namon of Havenswood is thought to be a god because of his formidable powers and the dragons that guard his palace. After a contest of the most beautiful princesses to be chosen as his Queen, Taya had escorted her mistress to the great palace, but on the night before the ceremony, she stumbles into the insanely gorgeous god, drunk with the Kingdom's finest wines and shirtless.

His seduction is irresistible, even for a servant who doesn't want to risk death. Taya ends up in his bed, but the next day brings in the shock, especially to Emporer Namon. He slept with a human servant. She is his mate, but nothing could disgrace his name more than such a shameful bond.

He angrily forbids Taya of ever speaking of the intimacy they shared and goes ahead to marry her royal mistress.

Weeks later, that forbidden night bears the ultimate consequence. Taya is pregnant with the Emperor's bastard child.

How long can she hide the child at a time when the survival of Namon's Kingdom depends on him having an heir and his chosen wife has turned out to be barren?

The night he took my innocence, he branded me his.
I never imagined he’d return years later as the enemy…
Demanding my loyalty.
My silence.
And the daughter he never knew he left behind.

I thought what we had was fate.
But loving Santino Romano was forbidden.
He was my brother’s best friend—
And the heir to the Famiglia Romano that ruined my bloodline.
A ruthless prince in a kingdom of crime,
And the only man who ever tasted the softness I kept hidden from the world.

Then came the fire.
The blood.
The betrayal that tore everything apart.

Now he’s back—colder, harder, more dangerous than ever.
He doesn’t ask. He takes.
Locks me in his penthouse cage and tells me I belong to him.
Body, heart, soul.

He punishes me for running.
He worships me like a sinner at the altar.
He kisses like a threat and touches like war.
And despite the fury in his eyes, I see it…
The man who once made my heart race still burns beneath the scars.

But he doesn’t know the truth I’ve hidden.
Our secret.

Our daughter.

And if my family discovers he has me, they’ll spill blood to bring me home.

What they don’t understand is this:
My captor is now my protector.
And Santino Romano will paint the streets red before he lets anyone take me or our child away.

Raised by her enigmatic grandmother in a remote town, she never imagined the truth about who she really was. After her grandmother's sudden death, Seraphina’s world unravels.

Seraphina must decide: will she embrace the wild power inside, or let it consume her whole?

EXCERPT:

Her jet-black curls are swept up and pinned to her head, leaving her neck exposed.

"Turn on the livestream, let everyone see how wet and slutty my wife's pussy gets when she's ruined." My husband sneered, ruthlessly spreading my trembling legs on the tattoo bed.

I sobbed and thrashed, but his strong hands pinned my wrists. The buzzing needle pierced the sensitive flesh of my private area, vibrating against my clitoris as he forced a succubus mark onto me. I let out a sharp, pathetic moan, my body involuntarily slicking with a mix of blood and arousal under the agonizing pain.

By the time the needle carved the eighteenth humiliating word into my bare, heaving breasts, my mind was completely broken. He just wiped the blood from my nipples and left to fuck his pregnant mistress.

He thought I was just a toy. At his wedding banquet, he threw me to a pack of hungry men. "Do whatever you want with her holes. Even if it's a gangbang, I take no responsibility." Disgusting hands immediately groped my bare thighs, brutally ripping my dress apart to expose my tattooed chest. Rough fingers pinched my nipples and shoved into my dripping core, making me scream in despair.

But I didn't die there. I tanked his company and fell into the arms of his biggest rival.

When my ex-husband finally realized the mistress's baby wasn't his, he called me, sobbing and begging. I just pressed the phone to my ear, gasping loudly as Tristan's thick, hard cock thrust deep into my tight, wet pussy.

"Ah... fuck, Tristan, deeper..." I moaned shamelessly into the receiver, hearing my ex-husband's breathless silence on the other end. "Henry," I panted, riding my new lover hard, "Your empire is dead, and so are we."

She gave up her career for love, only to be betrayed, humiliated, and replaced by his first love. Heartbroken, she filed for divorce.
At the press, she publicly exposed his most embarrassing secret, shocking the whole world. Once a neglected wife, she returned as a top medical genius and watched him fall apart.
He begged for forgiveness, but she had already moved on—cold, proud, and free.

SF-01-00 is a genetically enhanced assassin, a product of a supernatural program called Project Zodiac. Shadow is just another shadow lurking in the darkness waiting for her next target.

"I'm losing you," Rhett growled, his fingers digging possessively into my flesh. "What's so fascinating in that head of yours?"

I looked up at him, taking in the moonlight that carved shadows across his sculpted chest.

"Just imagining," I replied with deliberate provocation.

His eyebrow arched. "Imagining what exactly?"

I ran my fingertips down his chest, enjoying the way his muscles tensed under my touch. "Imagining a man more devoted and skilled than you."

His face darkened, jaw clenching. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

I realized I'd pushed too far and fell silent, giving him a crooked smile before leaning up to kiss him. He responded hungrily, his anger transforming into something more primal.

He lowered his head, mouth replacing fingers as he parted my thighs wider. His tongue traced deliberate patterns, alternating between broad strokes and precise flicks that made my hips buck involuntarily.


When I married the notorious Rhett Hayes, I thought I'd found my forever. Instead, I discovered I was just another conquest in his collection. For two years, I watched him charm other women while keeping me as his wife in name only, my heart breaking with each betrayal.

The day I finally placed divorce papers in his hands, something changed. His eyes—always cold and calculating—suddenly burned with an intensity I'd never seen. "You're the only one I've ever loved," he whispered, his voice raw. "Everything else was a necessary deception. There are people who would hurt you to get to me."

I didn't believe him—until the attack came. As bullets shattered our windows and masked figures stormed our home, I glimpsed the truth behind his lies. Now, trapped between deadly enemies and the man I'm no longer sure I know, I'm discovering that Rhett's dangerous world is far more complex than I imagined, and the depth of his love more profound than I dared hope.

“Why is Elara dying on my stream?”

Sienna Vale laughed in front of half a million viewers while my heroine glitched on-screen, wearing the ring I designed and speaking the line I wrote.

Caleb didn’t ask if I was okay. He shoved the emergency laptop toward me and said, “Fix it before the investors panic.”

So I opened the live build.

But instead of saving his launch, I patched one line into the game credits:

Created by Maya Reed.

I was but eighteen when I found myself captivated by my best friend’s brother.

At twenty-one, I mustered the courage to confess my feelings. He welcomed me into his bed but never once into his heart.

For three long years, I reassured myself: "Just a little while longer. He will see me in due time."

Then Stella returned—the girl he had always yearned for, even while his hands roamed my body in the shadows.

He greeted her return with champagne and candlelight, and then, locking his gaze upon me amidst a gathering, he coldly declared:

"You crawled into my bed and offered yourself. Don't you see how cheap and pitiable you appear?"

I raised my eyes, meeting his once more.

"I shall no longer trouble you."

I retrieved my phone, navigated to a contact I had seldom engaged—my betrothed by arrangement—and typed: "I consent to the marriage."

It's been five years since that one memorable night of passion in the arms of a stranger whose name she never learned. The single mother is now struggling to make a living as a nanny in the affluent city of Argento Heights until her son's new benefactor at school happens to be the very same man.

Damien Locke is a heartless tech tycoon who doesn't trust love until he comes across a boy who feels strangely familiar. And when Lena's name appears on the boy's emergency contact sheet, everything starts to fall apart.

He doesn't remember her. She cannot pay the price of truth. But when Damien suggests a pretend engagement to quiet gossip and land a billion-dollar deal, Lena accepts for the cash, for her son… and perhaps for one more night.

Yet the past does have claws, and secrets this deep never remain buried

One night, a fire broke out between us, and I remembered why he was my childhood crush. Ignoring our mutual hatred, his new status as a mafia boss, and most importantly, the fact that he is my brother's best friend, we crossed a line that he demanded we never cross again.
