"Take off your dress, Ivy."
"Why?"
"Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost."

...

Ivy Harper was supposed to marry the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she caught her twin sister entwined with her fiancé. One drink at the bar spiraled into ten. One drunken mistake became reality. And one stranger’s offer became a contract she signed with trembling hands and a diamond ring.

Cassian Wolfe is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, ruthless, possessive. A man forged in an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition—he can’t feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Ivy touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed.

She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what begins as a transaction slowly morphs into something Ivy never anticipated. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to shatter everything.

Cassian doesn’t share what’s his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

Her husband isn't just having an affair. He's letting his mistress play "Mommy" to their daughter, Luna. While Freya mourned the body she sacrificed, the curves, the stretch marks, the softness, Mark was already replacing her.

"T-This is pretty common amongst wolves, isn't it? E-Especially since we're all mates?" Eva took a pause to speak to her three mates.
"Shush..." Nicholas shushed her while re-inserting himself, smirking as her throat expanded, tears flowed.
"This...is more common than you think, princess. We are all meant to share you. Just like we shared the womb of our mother." Lucas's sultry voice sent shivers down her spine.
With all three h***s being filled at once, Eva knew she was never running out of love nor affection, or even luck.

Kevin's office door had been left ajar just by an inch; however, this gap was used to its maximum capacity in revealing the savage moans coming from Rosa’s oldest friend.

Rosa wasn't the one to tell anyone how to live their life, but couldn't this be saved for anywhere else but the office? Kevin would be disappointed if he caught her.

The startled Luna decided to give away her surprise and call her husband to tell him that she was at his office instead of meeting Sandra who sounded VERY occupied.

Barely a moment later her husband's ringtone flowed out of the office, intertwining with the sounds of Sandra and her lover's intimacy. So she had his phone, too?

Rosa didn't want to humiliate her friend but she also didn't want to leave without seeing Kevin, so she gave a few knocks of courtesy before blocking her eyes and stepping into the office.

“Rosa?” A hoarse, deep voice huffed out her name.

Her fingers fell from her hand with a feverish tremble, unveiling an unbelievable horror.

Her mate had thrown another woman over his desk and was buried as far as he could go into. His hands were firmly planted on her hips and there were fresh ‘lovebites’ over the woman, Sandra, her childhood friend.

I never meant to betray my sister. But from the moment Adrian's dark, smoldering gaze met mine, he became my secret addiction. His touch sets me on fire, his possessiveness borders on obsession. And despite him being my sister's boyfriend, I'm powerless to stop.

Then there's Alexander. The charming guy I met on campus. He's everything Adrian isn't. He's sweet, kind, safe, and he makes no secret of how much he wants me.

With one boy, I'm breaking all the rules. With the other, I'm denying all my desires. But now I'm trapped between one love I can't have and another love I can't resist.

"If I touch you right now," Landon said quietly, "I won't stop."
"Then… maybe don't stop." I said, unable to stop the words from escaping my mouth.
Lana married young. She believed in love, in loyalty, and in the man she built a family with. Logan was her husband, her partner, and the father of her twin sons—until his sudden death left her a widow at twenty-six. For four years, Lana focused on survival. She raised her children alone and built a career as a chef, keeping her grief locked away and her desires buried.
Then a man who looked exactly like her dead husband walked into her restaurant.
He wasn't Logan.
He was Landon, Logan's identical twin brother—a man Lana never knew existed, because her husband never told her the truth.
Landon's arrival forces buried secrets to surface. Lana discovers that her marriage was built on lies, and the man she loved had a past far darker than she ever imagined. As the truth unfolds, Landon becomes the one person who knows everything—and the one person she should stay far away from.
But distance becomes impossible. Landon is not just a reminder of Logan. He is different. Dangerous. Fully aware of the line between right and wrong—and how easily it can be crossed. The attraction between them is immediate, unwanted, and deeply forbidden.
He is her late husband's brother. She is the mother of his nieces. And every step toward him feels like betrayal.
Yet the closer Lana gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to walk away—from the secrets, from the desire, and from the man who sees her not as a widow, but as a woman.
Now Lana must face the truth: Is Landon the man who will finally help her heal Or the one who will destroy what's left of her heart?

Eighteen_ years _old. ‘'LYRA'’ is not an orphan. She is a ghost living in the house of her executioner, Lord Thorne, plagued by chronic fevers and hunted by the Alpha Lord who stole her kingdom and sealed her true Silver Luna power away. Now, forced into the hostile opulence of Thorne Manor, she is invisible prey.

But invisibility doesn't last when you share a roof—and a destiny—with ''THREE'' volatile stepbrothers.

There is ''Caspian'', the cruel, golden-eyed heir whose touch is pure, aggressive Alpha fire and whose rejection is a daily battle. There is ''Kael'', the cold, calculating strategist who sees Lyra as a political weapon to wield against his tyrannical father. And there is ''Rune'', the massive, silent enforcer whose primal instinct is to claim Lyra and shelter her from the world, regardless of the consequences.

When Lyra’s power awakens, she learns the terrifying truth: a devastating ancient curse requires her to accept the ''Triple Claim''—a forced, intensely sensual bond with all three Alphas—as the only way to survive the coming war and ascend her rightful throne.

The Triple Claim is only a temporary shield. Only one Alpha holds the ''True Soulmark'', and choosing him will shatter the protective triad, exposing her kingdom to the ultimate enemy, and binding her soul forever.

Cedric: "You're making me more intrigued, Calista."
Draven: "You're the first person who made me smile, Calista."

"I have no husband. And my son has no father. To me, Alpha Kael died five years ago."

Five years ago, Selene was cast out of the Silver Moon Pack while she was pregnant. She was shamed as a traitor, and left to die in a storm by her own husband, Alpha Kael. He chose to believe a vicious lie over the woman who was his mate.

Selene did not die, though. She survived in exile, raising Leo, a child with forbidden powers strong enough to shake the earth. Selene swore she would never return, until fate brought them together again in a deadly confrontation.

Now, Kael kneels at her feet, begging for forgiveness as he looks at the son whose face mirrors his own. The once cold and cruel Alpha is now willing to lose his throne and his life to win back the family he cast away.

But Selene’s heart is tightly closed. She has returned not for love, but to take revenge on everyone who ever destroyed her.

As the secret of the "Golden Heir" begins to come to light, will Kael manage to atone for his sins? Or is his betrayal too deep to be forgiven?
