Chapter 1
25th of November 2020
VICTORIA
I drove through the wet roads of Los Angeles, humming along with the soothing music that played from the radio.
Each glance at the bouquet lying next to me brought a smile to my face and caused my heart to skip. This would be our third anniversary.
I sighed loudly in relief as I drove into our villa and headed to the garage.
From the rearview mirror, I saw Mrs Rachel rush out of the house with an umbrella in hand.
I chuckled and grabbed the bouquet, then stepped out of the car.
"Welcome, ma'am," Mrs Rachel called out as she reached me.
I nodded with a large smile on my face before proceeding into the house with her.
The smile on my face fell when I walked into the house, but I found it in the same way as it was when I left an hour ago to fetch a bouquet.
"He isn't back yet?" I finally asked Mrs Rachel.
She stopped in her tracks in the kitchen and spun around, disappointment lurking in her eyes.
"No, ma'am," she replied in a flat tone.
I sighed and nodded, waving her off.
I had refrained from asking her, keeping my hopes high. I guessed I should have done that and faced the disappointment earlier.
I dropped the bouquet on one of the couches and glanced at the wall clock, my heart clenching.
It was almost ten, and there was still no call from him. I had to go through so much trouble to convince my boss to give me a day off from work. And after everything I had prepared, he still wasn't home.
I consoled myself that it wasn't too late to wait for him. I walked into the kitchen, forcing a smile on my face.
"Mrs Rachel?" I called, and she turned around.
"Keep the food warm. I am going in for a rest, wake me up when he returns," I said, flashing a smile at her.
She hesitated, doubt in her eyes.
"But, ma'am, you have just two hours to twelve," she said, disbelief lurking in her voice.
"I know, he might return by ten or eleven, we can still celebrate then," I replied.
Mrs Rachel sighed and nodded.
I could tell the woman was tired of waiting as well, but what could she do?
At this rate, I should be given an award for the most patient wife.
It was our anniversary, but Simon still refused to show a slight change of character.
As I ascended the stairs, I hoped that he would return. I prayed that my hopes wouldn't get smashed again.
With the prayers of his protection still on my lips, sleep consumed me.
I woke up in a start after sleeping for hours.
"Mrs Rachel?" I called, cursing loudly as I jumped out of bed, my heart racing.
What if she slept off and forgot to open the doors for Simon?!
Different thoughts ran through my head as I raced downstairs, almost spraining my ankle on my way down the stairs.
My heart dropped when I barged into the kitchen and met it empty aside from the flowers that seemed to have withered against the cold air. The candles that had glowed a few hours ago had melted away into heaps of wax, and the food was probably still in the microwave, waiting for the master of the house.
My stomach knotted, and I slumped into a chair, trying to breathe out the anger and pain that suffocated me.
"Ma'am?" Mrs Rachel whispered from the door of the dining room. I slowly raised my head and stared at her with tears filled with tears. I couldn't hide the pain and disappointment anymore. I couldn't stop the tears either.
"I told you not to wait," she muttered.
I broke down at those words and let the tears flow out while crying out loudly.
"It was our anniversary, Mrs Rachel, he promised he would be here, he promised!" I cried, sniffing and wheezing.
Mrs Rachel covered the spaces left between us and wrapped her hands around me.
"It is okay, you did your best, you have done your best, Mrs Armstrong," she whispered, rubbing my back.
I couldn't stop crying. I couldn't stop getting the pain off my chest.
I had sacrificed a series of emergencies at my workplace for him, for our marriage, and this was what in return? His absence.
Mrs Rachel cupped my cheeks and forced me to look at her with my tear-filled eyes.
"Mrs Armstrong, if you don't feel loved anymore, then you don't have to wait anymore," she muttered, and my throat knotted.
"Huh?" I whispered between chokes.
"Simon loves me, he's never going to stay away without a reason," I whispered.
Mrs Rachel sighed, her eyes dimming.
"I hope you fix your marriage then," she muttered.
I flared, upset by her words.
"My marriage is not broken. Men do far worse things than being absent at their anniversary!" I snapped in anger.
Perhaps I let her see my broken side, which gave her the audacity to talk about my marriage that way.
"I am sorry," she muttered.
I sighed and looked at the withered flowers, the sickening feeling sinking in.
"Clear the table," I muttered and stood up.
She nodded and moved out of the way as I walked out.
The moment I walked into the living room and began to head towards the stairs, the doors flew open.
I spun around, surprised.
The surprise drifted away, and horror set in when I saw Simon standing before the door, breathing heavily with his shirt drenched

How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.
Goddess Of The Underworld
When the veil between the Divine, the Living, and the Dead begins to crack, Envy is thrust beneath with a job she can’t drop: keep the worlds from bleeding together, shepherd the lost, and make ordinary into armour, breakfasts, bedtime, battle plans. Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of an orphan pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to be better. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.
A pack of their own
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.
Especially - Rule Number One - No Mates
When Draven meets Domonic, he knows that she is his mate, but Draven has no idea what a mate is, only that she has fallen in love with a shifter. An Alpha that will break her heart to make her leave. Promising herself, she will never forgive him, she disappears.
But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
Invisible To Her Bully
The Lycan Prince’s Puppy
“Soon enough, you’ll be begging for me. And when you do—I’ll use you as I see fit, and then I’ll reject you.”
—

Things take a dramatic turn when she discovers that Kylan, the arrogant heir to the Lycan throne who has made her life miserable from the moment they met, is her mate.

As if dealing with Kylan’s torment isn’t enough, Violet begins to uncover secrets about her past that change everything she thought she knew. Where does she truly come from? What is the secret behind her eyes? And has her whole life been a lie?
Falling For The Biker: The Vice President's Girl
His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth.
"It's wrong. Your brother would slit my throat for just standing this close. But tell me, little bird" his breath ghosts my skin, "are you trembling because you hate me… or because you've wanted this just as much as I have?"
Wren thought she'd buried the chaos of New Orleans for good—the clubs, the blood-soaked loyalties, the men who lived and died by their kuttes. Seattle gave her everything she ever wanted: freedom, love, a future.
But one betrayal shatters it all.
Dragged home by tragedy, Wren finds herself under the watchful eye of Ezra Jax—the Raven Reapers MC's vice president and her brother's best friend. He's infuriating, dangerous, and far too tempting for a man she should never touch.
And the deeper Wren is pulled back into his world, the more she realizes nothing about her past—or about Ezra—is what she believed.
In the chaos of gang wars, mounting debts, and old betrayals, he becomes the one constant. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. And the more he pushes her away, the more lethal his pull becomes.
Because in this world, love isn't sweet.
It's brutal. Bloody.
And it's bound to break them both.
When loyalty is everything and love can cost your life, will Wren risk her heart on the one man she was never meant to love?
