Introduction
When her younger sister steals from Nicolas Lewis—the ruthless mafia king no one dares cross. Samantha confesses to the crime to save Olivia's life.
But mercy doesn't exist in Nicolas's world.
Just as he's about to end Samantha's life, his mentally unstable younger brother, Sam, steps in with an unexpected demand: Samantha must become his wife.
Now trapped between a forced marriage and certain death, Samantha is thrusted into the heart of the city's most dangerous mafia family. As secrets unravel and loyalties crumble, she realizes surviving the Lewis brothers may be far more difficult than escaping them.
Will she sacrifice her freedom to stay alive, or will choosing the wrong brother cost her everything?
Chapter 1
Samantha's Point of View
The sound of someone banging on the restaurant door echoed in the space, causing my brows to furrow in confusion.
It was past midnight, and I had already put the "Closed" sign outside, so whoever was knocking seemed intent on breaking in.
I scanned the room until my gaze landed on a broom leaning against the wall.
Rising from the chair, I tiptoed over to grab it and headed toward the door.
I grasped the doorknob and flung the door open, ready to confront whoever was outside, but I stopped midway when I realized who it was.
Olivia rushed into the restaurant and shut the door behind her, resting her weight against it as she panted heavily. Her face was drenched in sweat, and her breathing was labored.
“Olivia, you scared me. Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?”I scolded, my brows lifting with confusion.
I placed the broom against the wall, turning my full attention to her. My sister looked terrified.
“Sister, I made a huge mistake!”
Olivia clutched her hand to her chest; I swear I could hear the sound of her heart banging so hard against her chest.
My stomach hardened with worry about her condition…
Olivia loved putting herself in danger, and the last time I had to use the last money we had to pay for her bail-out bill after she stole from a store.
“Tell me what you did, Olivia…”
She opened her mouth to speak but shut it again.
“You need to speak to me so I can help you!”
“I… Sister.. I!” She stammered.
I sucked in a sharp breath. “If you don't speak up, I don't know how else I should help you.
“I stole from the Lewis family!”
“Olivia!”
My eyes widened in shock. She was joking. There was no way for me to believe what she was saying.
"I swear I didn't know it was their house, and now they are looking for me; they are going to kill me! Please help me!”
Words poured out of her, and tears began welling up in her eyes.
Each muscle in me went cold, leaving me frozen on the ground.
Nicholas Lewis!
He was a nightmare. Everyone knew him. No one wanted to mess with him! I was no exception.
“Sister, I made a mistake, but I'm still young, and I have so many dreams to fulfill… I don't want to die at such a young age; please help me!”
Olivia pleaded between her sobs, her knees probably weakened as she collapsed to the ground.
I paced a short distance, running my fingers through my hair.
But how am I supposed to help her? They were going to kill her without a second thought, and I don't think I can do anything.
“Sister, please say something…”
The sound of her sobs echoed across the quiet space.
I let out a deep breath. I was exhausted before, but now I was utterly drained. I had a long day, standing on my feet, and serving the customer alone was another nightmare, but this... I didn't know how to deal with it.
"You've always protected me since I was a kid; you've always been more than my own parents could ever be. I know I made a mistake, but please don't let them kill me—I'm not ready to die.”
I closed my eyes and exhaled deeply. No matter what she has done, she will always be my younger sister. Her parents might have failed her, but I won't fail her. I will fulfill my duty as her sister, but the problem is I don't know what to do.
“What did you steal?” I forced words out of my mouth. Disappointment filled my whole being, but I tried to push it away. We all make mistakes, and she was only human.
“I stole a red diamond!”
My whole being went completely still as I finally allowed her words to register in my brain, and my breath seemed to have stopped for a few seconds before I started breathing again.
Her words kept on ringing in my ears for an unhealthy amount of time. I swear I wanted someone to come and tell me that it's all in my imagination.
“W—Where is it?”
I stammered.
Olivia slipped her hand into her pocket and fished out a sparkling red diamond.
A gasp escaped my lips as I covered my mouth with my hand. I thought she'd been joking, but she's not.
How the heck did she get her hands on this diamond? I'm sure it was heavily guarded from wherever it was. How did my sister become a professional thief?
“Stand up!” I said sharply, and she jerked to her feet in less than a second.
“Give me the diamond.” I extended my hand over to her, and she placed it in my palm.
“Take off your clothes right now…” I ordered her, and she complied by taking off her clothes. I crossed the room to the small table, and I placed the diamond there, and I began taking my clothes off, and I walked to her and gave them to her.
“Wear this and go home… Don't tell anyone about this, and don't act suspicious; just act normal. Do you understand?"
Olivia's brows furrowed in confusion, her eyes were red from crying, and her face was now puffy.
“Sister, what are you planning to do?”
“Change your damn clothes and do as I'm saying, Olivia; I will deal with this.”
I muttered under my gritted teeth.
I wanted to teach her a lesson, but unfortunately, this was not the time.
I won't gamble with my sister's life; she's young and has many dreams to fulfill. I had no dreams or life outside this restaurant, so I don't see why I should let her face this instead of me.
Without saying a word, Olivia changed into my clothes, and I wore her clothes along with her cap. She left the restaurant, leaving me behind.
I tightened my grip around the diamond.
Tonight, I will become Olivia.
And by morning, Nicolas Lewis would come for me.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.

This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.

When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
The Unbreakable Oath

Legacy Of Dragons, Royal Dragons Book 2
Ria and the Balaur brothers never imagined how far their family would come.
After surviving betrayal, loss, and the lies that nearly destroyed everything they loved, they dedicated themselves to building a future. What began as a training facility for dragons soon grew into something far greater—a place where dragons and other species from around the world could learn, train, and thrive together.
Now the facility is flourishing. Their children have grown, many finding their own mates among dragons, shifters, and other species from distant lands. The family Ria fought so hard to protect has expanded beyond anything she once dreamed possible, bringing new friendships, new adventures, and a growing legacy of grandchildren.
As old secrets continue to surface, long-held beliefs about dragons and mixed-species bloodlines are being challenged. Truths buried for generations are finally coming to light, reshaping everything they thought they knew about their world.
Offside Temptation
Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.
When he grabbed my jersey in that locker room and kissed me in front of twenty cameras, it wasn't a mistake. It was the moment the line between hatred and obsession finally snapped. The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.
"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.
He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.
Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...
Falling for My Boyfriend's Uncle
My boyfriend skipped our anniversary for her—the girl who called me a whore.
He left me walking home in the dark. When my apartment caught fire, he ignored my calls.
But his uncle showed up.
The one with the scarred knuckles and the cop badge. The one who looked at me like he wanted to burn the world down for me—or maybe burn me down instead.
Now, we live under the same roof. Three people. One bed too close.
Every time my boyfriend touches me, I flinch. Every time his uncle looks at me, I burn.
He's dangerous. He's forbidden. He's everything I shouldn't want.
Is he saving me... or does he just want to own me?
Some fires don't just burn. They consume.
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
The First Female Alpha
The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.
But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.
Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.
He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.
But he's wrong.
I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.
The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.
Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.
I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.
They wanted a loyal Luna??
Instead...
They created a monster.
And when the throne is finally mine...
The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.
They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
and became the First Female Alpha.

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
