He pressed a finger against my lips.
"Hush."
His hair was still damp from his shower. Falling over his forehead like strands of gold.
He smelled amazing.
Clean skin, whiskey, and something that was uniquely him. Something musky with a hint of rain.
His lips trailed down my body, leaving kisses everywhere they touched. His tongue followed, dragging heat across my skin until he settled between my legs.
My breath caught.
He pressed soft kisses to my inner thighs.
For a moment he simply looked at me.
His gaze lingered over my body. His lips twitched at my shaved pussy.
His lips parted like he was about to say something.
Instead, he lowered his head.
The first touch of his tongue made my entire body jerk.
A helpless sound escaped me. His tongue thrust into me, hungry, needy.
My hips rolled against him automatically.
Like I had no control over my own body anymore.

“You want me,” Ace said with a smirk, his fingers grazing Spades’ cheek.

“I see it in your eyes, in the way your body responds to mine. You want me just as much as I want you. So why fight it, Spades? Why fight me?” he murmured, pressing their bodies together.

Spades stood frozen, torn between desire and dread, his heart hammering. Rage flickered in his voice.

“You’re married to my stepsister. You’re the heir to the Bratva. Do I need to list more reasons why this is a terrible idea? Why will this never work? You chose her, Ace. You married her. Think. Let me go.”

Ace’s eyes turned stormy.

“Never,” he growled—and then he kissed him.

Karlin “Ace” Marakov is the heir to the Bratva, the ruthless Russian Mafia. Arrogant, violent, and dangerously reckless, Ace destroys everything he touches. Tired of his self-destruction, his father—the Pakhan—forces him into marriage with Nina Ivanov, the daughter of his closest ally.

But Ace never wanted Nina.

He wanted her stepbrother.

Spades Ivanov grew up with nothing. Every meal was earned, every step forward fought for. Adopted by Lee Ivanov, he’s fiercely loyal—loyal enough to follow any order, no matter the cost.

When Ace and Spades crash into each other, it’s volatile, electric, and impossible to ignore. The tension becomes unbearable. Ace wants him—and he'll burn their entire world to the ground to have him.

Because in Ace’s mind, Spades is his.

As I excitedly walked out of the clinic with the pregnancy test results, eager to share this incredible news with my husband, I stumbled upon him and my best friend making love passionately in our bed!

“How could you do this to me! I’ve done so much for you, and you slept with my best friend Michelle! What’s going on between you two?”

I roared, throwing a pretty cushion at them both.

“You filthy little bitch! I don’t know what I ever saw in you!”

He yelled at me, jumped up, and slapped me hard across the face, drawing blood from my lip.

At that moment, I felt utterly hopeless. I decided to leave this place, leave these two scumbags, and start a new life somewhere new.

But my wicked husband, like a persistent ghost, found me again and haunted me. Oh God, what am I supposed to do to escape this miserable life!

Queen of Shadows is a dark, suspenseful, and romantic tale of power, betrayal, and redemption set in the dangerous world of the mafia. Sophia Moretti, the first female boss of the powerful Moretti empire, is as feared for her ruthless leadership as she is admired for her brilliance as a cybersecurity expert. After her father and brothers were assassinated, Sophia rose to power, shattering the patriarchal mould and establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with.

Sophia's ironclad empire comes under threat when investigative journalist Ethan Cross uncovers incriminating evidence linking the Moretti family to a series of high-profile crimes.

What begins as a calculated arrangement between two enemies soon spirals into a dangerous game of trust, passion, and ambition.

Ethan, a former ethical hacker with his own troubled past, challenges Sophia in ways she never expected.

As the lines between enemy and ally blur, both Sophia and Ethan are forced to question everything they believed about loyalty, love, and the cost of control.

In the end, Sophia must decide, will she protect her empire at all costs, or risk everything for a chance at love?

SYNOPSIS:I thought meeting my mate would be the start of my happily ever after. For a moment, it was. Jacob Jude, the powerful heir of the Golden Claw Pack, ignited a fire in me that I’d never known. Then, in one cruel twist, he shattered my world.

With my sight newly restored, I opened my eyes to betrayal—false accusations, heartbreak, and the lifeless body of my twin sister. Losing them both on the same day nearly destroyed me. But someone pulled me back from the edge.

Four years later, I’m no longer the fragile, blind girl who was cast aside. I’ve rebuilt myself, stronger and sharper than ever. Returning to the Golden Claw Pack wasn’t in my plans, but fate has a cruel sense of humor. Because standing at the altar is the man who broke me... and the sister I buried.

Now, I have one question—will love or vengeance claim me first?

In a realm where shadows dance with light in an eternal duel, Lyra, a young and enchanting shadow mage, unearths a tantalizing secret hidden within her: the rare ability to communicate with shadow dragons—ancient, seductive creatures thought to be long extinct. Her heart races when she encounters Nyx, the brooding king of the shadow dragons, with scales like obsidian and eyes that smolder with ancient fire. Their souls intertwine in a blaze of raw chemistry, igniting a passion that sizzles through their very beings.

As the world around them simmers with political intrigue and forbidden magic, Lyra feels the heat radiating from Nyx, drawing her in. “You possess a power I’ve never encountered,” he whispers, his deep voice sending shivers down her spine, igniting an ache deep within her core. “But tell me, can you handle the darkness within me?”

“Maybe I want to embrace it,” Lyra replies, her breath hitching as she inches closer, her hearts whispering promises of nightfall passion. “Show me the depth of your shadows, and I’ll reveal the light that can coexist with them.”

Their connection deepens as they delve into the secrets threatening both their kinds, but the air between them thickens with unspoken desire. In the heat of their pursuit, they steal moments away from the chaos—a shared gaze laced with longing, a brush of fingertips that ignites fire beneath their skin.

It was Austin’s turn to seething with rage. “You are not aborting that child.” His voice echoed menacingly, animosity lingering in the air around them.

My body, my rules.” She shot back with an unbothered shrug.

“I don’t think you have much of a choice.” He barked. The idea of marriage and children had never crossed his mind. It wasn’t a part of his life plan. “I’d chain you to a bed for the entire nine months if I have too.”

She blinked, stupefied that he thought himself capable. “I think you forget who you are speaking too, Austin.” She pronounced his name with disgust. “You cannot scare or manipulate me into following along with your ideas.” Marriage? To Austin Demon Cyner? Now that was a delusion. “A stupid one at that.” She added, eyeing him meticulously.

“Marry me, Skylar. It’s a win-win; a marriage of convenience.” He’d cleared his throat and was taking long strides towards her. Suddenly the room felt too small to contain the sheer size of him.

“I severely dislike you, though. What am I winning exactly?” her feet were traveling backwards, unwilling to have her standing up too close to him.

"I am pregnant, " I say looking into his eyes intensely but his face is emotionless.

"what? " he asks stunned, he paces around for a few minutes "I can't take care of a child right now" he snaps holding the office table tightly.

"We have to because I have no way to go," I say pleading for acknowledgment and understanding.

"what do you mean, " he said eyeing me suspiciously.

"my parent disowned me," I say looking down in shame.

This story is a dark psychological thriller wrapped inside a family drama. It follows the Chambers family, a wealthy but fractured dynasty, whose perfect image is shattered when their longtime butler is found murdered during Ethan Chambers’ engagement party. The murder weapon — Ethan’s favorite pen — points directly at him, and though his influence and family name delay immediate consequences, suspicion lingers like a shadow.

At the heart of the chaos is Adelyn, Ethan’s radiant fiancée, whose charm and beauty draw people in with ease. She is magnetic, enigmatic, and calculating — and quickly notices the vulnerability of Ethan’s younger brother, Lucas. Unlike Ethan, who is admired and envied, Lucas lives in his shadow, bitter and insecure. Adelyn subtly begins to exploit those insecurities, offering comfort while planting seeds of doubt about his brother, his parents, and even himself.

As the investigation unfolds, the Chambers are forced into close quarters, their public façade collapsing under private turmoil. Margaret, the image-obsessed matriarch, suspects Ethan’s temper, while Lucas is slowly entangled in Adelyn’s quiet manipulations. Every interaction blurs the line between truth and perception, until no one — not even Ethan — is certain of what really happened.

The story is an exploration of jealousy, control, and deception, showing how a single charismatic force can unravel a family already teetering on fracture. It blends gothic intrigue with modern psychological suspense, building toward inevitable betrayal, shocking twists, and a cliffhanger that leaves the reader questioning how much of the Chambers’ downfall was fate — and how much was Adelyn’s design

"My turn," he growled, voice dripping with hunger. He stroked his long, curved length, smearing the bead of precum at the tip.
Instead of guiding his cock to my mouth, Shawn pressed his tip against my tight, puckered hole. He slicked himself with my own arousal before pushing forward, breaching my ass with a firm thrust. "You can take it," he urged, sinking his thick shaft deeper into my back passage.

TEASER:
You want me, don’t you?” A simple question that warranted a simple answer.
“Should I have had you checked for a head injury?” he scoffed, a swift blow that knocked the wind out of my lungs and I realised I had been holding my breath. My lips parted, and my chest heaved, working overtime to replenish my body’s oxygen from those few moments of starvation.
Steeling my spine, I stepped forward, invading his space, oblivious to the eyes that were thrown our way. Or was I imagining that? Draven didn’t budge, a perfectly shaped brow elevated as he considered my movement with little interest. There wasn’t a single flicker of emotion to cross his features, not even that Godforsaken misleading smile made an appearance.
“Then you’ve no reason to threaten any man I may find interesting.” I breathed the words slowly, erotically.
