Chapter 1
Chapter One
The smell of roasted beans hung thick in the air, warm and comforting, like a blanket Clara Montgomery never quite managed to take off. Mornings in Moonlight Brews were always like this—soft chatter, the hiss of the espresso machine, and the hum of life outside the windows as the town slowly woke up. She leaned against the counter for just a moment, brushing a stray wisp of brown hair from her face, and let herself breathe it all in.
This was her rhythm. Her sanctuary.
The bell above the door jingled again, letting in a gust of cool morning air. Clara straightened, slipping back into motion. “Good morning, Mrs. Harper,” she called with a smile as the older woman shuffled in.
“Morning, dear. Just the usual.” Mrs. Harper’s silver hair was pulled back in its neat bun, her warm eyes crinkling. Clara moved to the register, already reaching for a chai blend.
“How’s your granddaughter’s recital coming along?” Clara asked, steaming milk.
“Oh, she’s nervous, but she’ll do beautifully.” Mrs. Harper’s face brightened as she spoke. “You always remember these things.”
Clara just shrugged with a smile. Remembering details came naturally to her. People liked to be seen, and she liked to see them.
The rhythm of the morning built quickly after that. Contractors stomped in with heavy boots and heavier yawns, nodding gratefully when Clara handed them steaming cups of black coffee. The Lawson twins arrived in their soccer jerseys, chattering about a game while smearing powdered sugar on the counter from the donuts Clara had tucked into their bag. College students filtered in with laptops and earbuds, ordering iced lattes they would nurse for hours.
Clara knew nearly every face. She listened, she asked questions, she laughed in the right places. Moonlight Brews wasn’t just a coffee shop—it was a piece of people’s lives. That’s what she wanted when she opened it at twenty-one, scraping together her savings, betting everything on the idea that kindness could build something lasting.
By late morning, the rush thinned. Clara finally poured her own cup, a simple dark roast with just a touch of cream, and sank into the chair by the window. Outside, the town stretched in its familiar, modest charm. Brick storefronts lined Main Street, their flower boxes spilling with petunias and geraniums. Beyond the buildings, where the pavement gave way to dirt trails, the forest rose like a wall of green.
Clara’s gaze lingered there more often than she liked to admit. The woods had always unsettled her, though she wasn’t sure why. As a child, her mother used to warn her not to wander too far. The forest isn’t as empty as it looks, she’d say, her voice a little too firm, her eyes a little too watchful. Clara used to imagine monsters lurking between the trees, or fairies waiting to whisk her away.
At twenty-three, she knew better. And yet… sometimes, when the wind rustled the canopy just so, when the mist curled low and the shadows stretched long, she swore the forest breathed. As if something unseen stirred within it, watching, waiting.
“Clara? You’ve been staring at nothing for five minutes.”
She blinked, pulling herself back to the present. Marcy, her part-time barista, leaned against the counter with a grin, arms crossed. Her hair was dyed a vibrant purple this week, and the color suited her sharp personality.
Clara laughed softly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “Sorry. Just…thinking.”
“About what? Existential dread? Or that we need to order more caramel syrup?”
“Maybe both,” Clara teased.
Marcy rolled her eyes but grinned, returning to her task. Clara took another sip of her coffee, trying to ignore the faint tightness in her chest. She loved her life—her shop, her town, her little routines. And yet, there were moments like this when a strange restlessness tugged at her, whispering that something was missing.
She didn’t know what she was waiting for. Only that she was.
The bell above the door rang again.
Clara’s head lifted, her smile automatic. A teenager with a book bag trudged in, muttered an order, and slouched toward the corner booth. Clara rose, gentle as always, sliding back into her role.
But the odd quickening in her pulse lingered, as though some invisible thread had been tugged taut, tying her to something unseen.
The forest loomed beyond the window, tall and endless.
And Clara Montgomery couldn’t shake the feeling that her quiet life was about to change forever.

Invisible To Her Bully
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.

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.
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.

The Possessive Alpha
What will happen when Elle's past finally catches up to her? Will Elle be able to fight the increasing attraction she has for Damon, her ultimate enemy? Or will she succumb to the lust she feels for him?
Triplet Alpha: My Fated Mates
"No." "I'm fine."
"Fuck," he breathes. "You're—"
"Don't." My voice cracks. "Please don't say it."
"Aroused." He says it anyway. "You're aroused."
"I'm not—"
"Your scent." His nostrils flare. "Kara, you smell like—"
"Stop." I cover my face with my hands. "Just—stop."
Then his hand on my wrist, pulling my hands away.
"There's nothing wrong with wanting us," he says softly. "It's natural. You're our mate. We're yours."
"I know." My voice is barely a whisper.
I spent ten years as a ghost in the Sterling mansion—a debt slave to the triplet Alphas who made my life hell. They called me "Carrot," shoved me into frozen rivers, and left me to die in the snow when I was eleven.
On my eighteenth birthday, everything changed. My first shift released a scent of white musk and first snow—and three former tormentors stood outside my door, claiming I was their fated mate. All three of them.
Overnight, the debt vanished. Asher's commands turned to vows, Blake's fists became trembling apologies, and Cole swore they'd been waiting for me all along. They declared me their Luna and promised to spend their lives atoning.
My wolf howls to accept them. But one question haunts me:
Would that eleven-year-old girl, freezing and certain she would die, forgive the choice I'm about to make?
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.
