Freya has spent her life as an outcast—beaten, humiliated, and branded a disappointment. A servant in the house of the man who once called himself her father. But on the night of her eighteenth birthday, everything changes.

She awakens to a truth more dangerous than the chains that bound her. She is not just a disgraced wolf. She is something more—something both feared and hunted.

Prince Dorian Damon, ruthless heir to the throne, knows what she is.

She is his mate.

The one fate has bound to him in ways he never wanted. But to him, she is also a weapon—a pawn in the bloody war against the hunters. He takes her and keeps her not out of love, but control.

"You think I won’t reject you?" Dorian’s voice is low, edged with cruel amusement as he presses her against the cold stone wall of his chamber. "I will. The moment you become useless to me."

But there is another. Tiberius, the legendary hunter with emerald eyes that see too much and a touch that burns her differently, has searched for her his entire life. He was raised to despise wolves, to slaughter them without hesitation.

Yet when he looks at Freya, he does not see an enemy. He sees his mate.

To save his family's legacy, Jaxon needs his magic back. To avoid execution for "magical theft," Maya needs to hide her new, unstable powers. Their solution?

On our wedding night, I lay down rules—no sex, no kids, I finish my degree, I keep my career—and he agrees. All of it.

I went into this marriage ready to fight him.
Now, I’m terrified I’ll lose my heart to the one man I was never supposed to love.

Alessia Moretti spent two years building a life no one could trace back to her father's empire. New name. New city. A future that finally felt like her own.
Then a stranger sits down beside her in a lecture hall and says five words that end all of it.
"You're using the wrong name."
He isn't there to drag her home. He's there for the notebook she stole the night she ran, the only thing her father would kill to bury and the only thing his own family needs to survive. What he doesn't expect is her. What she doesn't expect is him, or what he actually is.
Dario De Luca was raised to finish the job. He wasn't raised to fall for the girl his family promised him to before either of them had a say. The deeper he gets into why she ran, the less this feels like an assignment and the more it feels like the only thing he might be willing to destroy everything for.
Their families were enemies before either of them was born. A marriage neither of them chose is about to make them something else. And the small black notebook that started the war is about to end it, one way or another.
She was raised to survive that world. He was raised to run it. Together they might be the only two people alive who can burn down the lie both families were built on, if the people hunting them don't get there first.

I'm throbbing for him. Asa groans softly as he rubs his tip against my wet folds a few times, before positioning himself at my entrance. He looks down up at me, and I nod, reassuring him that this is what I want.
As soon as he enters me, I whimper, my hands flying up and grabbing onto his shoulders, my nails pressing down on his bare skin. A wave of pain flashes through my body as it stretches to meet his large girth and length.
Thankfully, Asa notices me tense under him, and he pauses, giving me time to adjust. His fingers brush the few hairs that have fallen into my face to the side, gazing into my eyes. He pecks my lips softly a few times.
"Oh fuck, Asa," I cry from underneath him, one hand cupped around his bicep as the other holds onto his chain. I'm so close, nearly trembling underneath him.

My fingers pressed to the fresh mark beneath my ear. It pulsed faintly, aching, not from pain. From absence.
From her.
I closed my eyes and tried again, just like I had the past five minutes. I reached for her through the mate bond, through the invisible tether.
“She marked me,” I whispered, voice raw. “And now she’s gone. What the fuck does that even mean?”

I curled myself tighter into the hoodie I’d thrown over my shoulders. her hoodie, oversized and frayed at the cuffs, still smelling like firewood and wind and whatever wild scent always clung to her. I wrapped her blanket tighter around me, but it didn’t help. It just made everything worse.

Because it wasn’t her arms. And it may never be. I stood up suddenly, the grief boiling into anger, into motion. I paced the room like a storm bottled in a body. My mind kept flashing to her face, glowing gold in the candlelight, shadows flickering across her jaw, those haunted eyes that held so many fucking secrets.

To many fucking secrets.

BOUND BY DECEPTION is a fast-paced adult fantasy romance combining fake dating, morally grey protagonists, and a ghost-whispering heroine who refuses to be anyone's asset.

Set in the richly imagined city of Ashenveil , where a supernatural governing body polices the boundary between the living and the dead , this is the story of Seraphine Calloway, a junior book editor who talks to ghosts and has spent her whole life making herself invisible, and Emrys Vayne, a four-hundred-year-old Faeborn Warden who has spent the same period making himself untouchable.

Their arrangement is tactical. Their chemistry is not.

Featuring an enemies-to-lovers slow burn built on genuine intellectual respect, a ghost intelligence network that delivers the story's most crucial plot twists, supernatural political intrigue across six increasingly high-stakes acts, and a villain whose idealism makes him more terrifying than cruelty ever could.

Perfect for readers who loved the moral complexity of Twisted Love, the atmospheric tension of Haunting Adeline and the slow-burn longing of The Love Hypothesis but wanted all three in a world where the dead have opinions and act on them. Dark. Addictive. Impossible to put down.

The dead are talking. She's finally ready to listen to all of it.

Everyone deserves a second chance, even if they tried to strangle you to death in your sleep.

Aya has been trained all her life as a living weapon, but she has never taken a life. She has never been with a man. She lives her life for the sake of her mistress Lady Charlotte. Her latest mission: impersonating her lady and becoming bride to the barbarian prince who has invaded her homeland and imprisoned the former queen.

It will be a brutal task, assassinating the prince and his father and reclaiming the castle from the hands of the hundreds of savage northmen who have seized it. Aya is fully equipped for that mission, but she is not at all prepared for the savage charm of her new suitor. His tongue is just as wicked as his features are angelic, and the fact that he could break her neck with ease should he discover her duplicitous plot… Her intense attraction to him grows ever more potent, and her impulse is to claim him, not as a victim of her deadly scheme, but as her lover.

Will the prince even accept her though, if he uncovers her true identity: a peasant girl who came to this castle to murder him? Or is this deadly game of betrayal doomed to end in all out war?
