Introduction
He is a master chef, a billionaire, a bachelor, and a playboy, but no man is perfect, just like us. Anders Winston has his own secret too; a dirty little secret that no one has ever known about.
Chapter 1
I was staring at the ceiling of this hotel room after I had a pleasurable night with this woman, here on the bed lying next to me. I picked a stick of cigar from its box on the table beside of this bed and lit it up. I tried to avoid this addiction that I have, but I couldn't help it. It was really satisfying for me to smoke after a wild sex with a woman, besides it's also my stress reliever at work.
"Where are you going?" she asked while trying to cover herself with the blanket and lean her back on the head board.
"I settled everything"
The woman suddenly changed her facial expression, from a seductive look, her brows raised up high and just stared at me while I was picking up my clothes on the floor.
"We still gonna hang out right?"
I didn't answer her back and just shrugged my shoulders while looking at myself on the mirror hanging on the wall.
"They're right. You're cold as ice. No wonder you.."
"Shut it!" I exclaimed and looked at the mirror with sharp eyes to her. I turned her back to step closer at her. "Or you'll get hurt." Then, I grinned like a devil.
This is my routine after I made out with someone for a night. I never looked back nor talked with them again. I crossed them out in my head and just act like a stranger whenever we met by chance.
I never believed about love, it will make your life miserable. I saw my friends became crazy about the woman they loved, besides women are complicated. I never experienced to have a serious relationship. They flirt with me and as being so generous to them, I gave the best night they could have ever imagine.
I shook my head as I remember countless woman that I went on. I was about to leave the place when I heard someone mentioned my name.
TV Newsflash
News anchor: Anders Winston, the highest paid chef and one of the hottest bachelor in the country has seen with a woman last night. Are we expecting wedding bells here? Or Is this some kind of flirty thing again?"
News Anchor 2: I guess he's not yet getting married. He's a hottie in this country and maybe he wanted to explore?"
News Anchor 1: Well. He might be jerk? Anyway. Next news is about..
I smirked as I heard about the news on TV. They're right about my name and my profession as well. I just turned my back and kept walking at the hallway until I reached the parking lot, wherein I parked my black Bentley sports car. I never heard any good news about me. All these paparazzi were so crazy about my life, they were waiting on every mistakes that I would do.
As I stepped closer to it, I also pressed the button on my hand to make a loud noise from the car. I hop inside and started the engine loudly just like in a competition. I was driving smoothly until I approached this main road on Lunar Avenue. It was the traffic jam that got my patience, so I pressed the button to turn on the music. It was a classical music, the doctor told me that I needed this type of music in my car which I did and honestly it helped me a lot to cool down my temper. In return for my voluptuous psychiatrist we had a one night stand, the last time that I visited her clinic.
I knew that the first moment I stepped on her clinic, she desired for me, my body.
I was listening to the music when my phone rang and when I checked on the screen, I immediately lower down the volume of the music, then I answered the phone.
"What's happening son? Who was that girl on the news? You promised me that you'll stop doing this. We had an agreement son remember so why.."
"Calm down mom." then I massaged my temples
"How can I calm down if you're ruining your future, our family! For.."
I cut the line without saying goodbye to my mother. I felt even more annoyed this time so as I saw the red light turned into green, I speed up my car like a racer and when I arrived at my house in an exclusive village at the business capital of the city. I got off and throw my keys to my assistant.
"Evenin' Mr. Wenston."
I continue walking straight to his kitchen and grabbed some juice from the fridge. I drank it all up and my assistant was not even surprised about it.
I took a deep breath and said. "Too formal George, so?" he asked and
George, my assistant smiled at me and said. "Alright. Anders, I've got your schedule here sent by your secretary.." then he opened the white folder and I did not let him finish his words.
Anders made a gesture to his assistant to stop for a while. "Hire another secretary, I fired the last one today." I said and walked through the living room and sat comfortably and put my legs on the table and my hands were on my head and closed my eyes.
"What's my schedule tomorrow George?" I asked while my eyes were closed.
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning you should be at the Culinary Arts Academy to have a seminar with the students. In the afternoon your mom will be at your office. She wanted to have your time.." he couldn't continue what he was about to say because I immediately interrupt him.
"Cancel the afternoon until evening one."
George didn't answer me back and just nod his head to me.
I didn't mind if I cancelled those appointments. All I wanted was to rest because for the past three months, I had been working hard like an ant.
I stood up and decided to be in my room so I grabbed my phone from the table I just passed by on George and didn't mind at him.
When I reached his room. I shut the door and lit up a cigar then grabbed the whisky bottle.
My phone rang once again and this time I answered it without any hesitation.
"What's up ice man!" I heard a man giggled on the phone. "Maybe I should call Zach Snyder and tell him that he needs to add you as one of his character in Justice League. What do you think?" then he laughed so loud on the phone.
I slowly shook my head, I knew how crazy my friend. I pressed the loud speaker button and sip my whisky. "Shut up Dave! What do you want?" I asked.
"Nothing. I just wanted to invite you at my daughter's first birthday party next week."
"Oh the party! I mean Children's party." I said
"Don't you ever forget the date Anders or else.."
"Black mailin' huh." I said while the cigarette was in my mouth.
"I'll tell everyone your biggest secret Ice man."
"Asshole!" I exclaimed and smoked again.
My friend laughed so hard and that made me so annoyed. Then, I sipped again the liquor from the shot glass.
"I couldn't imagine your face, man! I was just fooling you." Then my friend tried to make a serious conversation with me. "Good luck on your new career tomorrow man. Check out for your next target and.."
"Fuck you Dave!" I exclaimed to my friend and cut the line then throw my phone in front of my dog.
A glass of liquor at night will keep me relaxed all through the night. I was sitting on the luxurious couch with a gold lining on it and leaned my back while spreading both my arms on the couch. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and suddenly an image of a woman appeared on my dream.

My Perverse: You're mine, you son of a bitch
Vincenzo Valentini is a man who sees the world as a business counter and human beings as merchandise.
The owner of an empire built upon corpses and submission, he is the reflection of pure perversity.
When fate places Andrew Thompson, the son of his greatest rival, into his hands, the plan was simple: use him, break him, and discard him like a toy that has lost its appeal.
What Vincenzo did not expect was that, beneath the youthful skin and the appearance of innocence, Andrew hid the same abyss as he did.
Vincenzo never wanted redemption. He never wanted someone to save him from his own darkness. He was seeking a mirror. And in Andrew, he found the partner who, upon seeing his blood-stained hands, does not recoil in terror, but trembles with desire.
In this perverse game, the "little toy" proves to be the perfect executioner. The mafia leader found someone who not only accepts his cruel side but cultivates it, feeding the monster Vincenzo has always been.

Chosen By The Lycan King
The Devil’s Contract: Kiss Me Like A Lie
The air in the ballroom was suffocating, filled with the scent of expensive wine and predatory Alphas. I felt the familiar, terrifying burn start low in my stomach. My suppressants were failing. I am an Omega pretending to be a Beta, and my fiancé, Reign Montgomery, is a powerful Enigma who believes Omegas are nothing but weak whores.
I rushed to the restroom, locking myself in, praying the scent wouldn't leak. My hands shook as I dialed for help, but the door handle turned. Reign stood there. He didn't look at my face; he grabbed my wrist, pulling it to his nose, inhaling deeply. His dark, soulless eyes bore into mine. "You smell different," he whispered, his voice dangerously low. If he finds out what I really am, I’m dead.
Reign Montgomery promised himself he’d never get involved with an omega. Not romantically, not physically, not even by accident. He doesn’t trust them, doesn’t want them, and refuses to let anyone become a weakness.
Soren Fox has lived his whole life making sure no one ever learns what he truly is. An omega pretending to be a Beta, fighting in underground rings just to survive and keep his sister alive.
But one contract drags them into a dangerous partnership of lies, heat, and power, and when Soren is kidnapped, Reign realizes too late that the omega he never wanted has become the one person he can’t live without.
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.
The first of her kind
And if I don’t unite the warring factions by my twenty-fifth birthday, the prophecy will kill me. I have exactly three months left to live.
Love was never option. Survival was the only plan.
Until they showed up.
Nelson: The brutal, dominant Supreme Alpha who demands my absolute submission, waking a wolf inside me that I’ve suppressed for twelve years.
Jay: The ruthless, lethal Vampire Heir who craves my blood, feeding the dark, feral hunger I never wanted to admit.
They are sworn enemies, born to tear each other apart. But fate has a twisted sense of humor—because they are both my fated mates.
If they find out what I truly am, they’ll destroy me. But as the bond tightens and my time runs out, I’m caught between the Alpha who wants to protect my soul, and the Vampire who wants to rule my darkness.
I was born to bring peace. But loving them might just start the bloodiest war history has ever seen.
The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."

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.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
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.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.

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.
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.
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.
