Chapter 1
Could this day be any more boring? I’m flipping through channels, but nothing catches my eye. It’s Friday night, and I’m home alone.
My parents went to a party and won’t be home until very late. I have two sisters on the other side of the country, already starting their lives.
Murry is 24, owns her own bakeshop, and lives with her fiancé.
Anne is 22, just started her first job at an accounting firm, and is dating a guy from work.
Then there’s me. I’m 17, still living with my parents because the law won’t let me move out yet. Oh—and did I mention I’m single?
Yeah, I know I’m pretty. My mom reminds me every day, like she’s trying to reassure me someone will come along. Not that I’m in a rush. I mean, I say
I like being single… but okay, fine. That’s a lie.
Truth is, I’m confused. Sexually.
When I was around 14 or 15, I used to gush over guys in school—just your typical teenager crushing on the most popular guy in class. That all changed when I met Kate. She had just transferred and didn’t really have any friends.
She was stunning—dirty blonde hair always braided over her left shoulder, a few strands loose on the other side that made her look so effortlessly innocent. Her blue eyes melted me every time she looked at me. And her lips… I used to wonder how they’d taste.
Until that night.
We were drunk—well, I was. I confessed everything. That I liked her, that it hurt seeing her date other people. And then I did it. I kissed her.
Her lips were soft and sweet, and in that moment, everything stopped spinning. It was like time itself froze.
But then she pushed me away.
I’ll never forget the look in her eyes—hatred. Disgust.
After that night, she never spoke to me again. I begged her to talk, to let me explain. I told her I never meant to make things weird, that I couldn’t control how I felt, that I’d do anything to go back and fix it so we could still be friends.
But nothing. She ignored me. Pretended I didn’t exist.
It broke my heart. I honestly didn’t think I’d ever get over it.
So yeah… I’m still confused.
I’ve had a few flings since then. Dated guys, trying to convince myself it was just a phase. Just hormones. Just curiosity.
I picked up my phone and texted my friend Sam.
Dude, any plans for tonight? Bored like hell.
A few minutes later, ping.
Yeah, killing myself. I’m with my folks at a Bible study. Wanna come?
I half-smiled and replied:
Naahh, I feel better now!
Then added three LOL emojis for good measure.
I tossed my phone to the side of my bed and wondered what to do next. Then my stomach growled.
Great. Now I’m hungry.
Definitely not in the mood to cook. I threw on my hoodie and headed out to the diner.
Just thinking about a cheeseburger and strawberry milkshake made my mouth water—and my pace quicken.
When I got there, I slid onto a stool at the counter and ordered.
“Cheeseburger and strawberry milkshake, please.”
“Comin’ right up!” the woman behind the counter chirped.
Once my order arrived, I devoured it like it was the most important thing in the world. I finished in no time, pulled some cash from my pocket, and left it beside the plate.
On the way back to my building, I noticed a woman struggling with a heavy box by her car. It looked like it weighed a ton. I rushed over to help.
“Hey, let me help you with that,” I offered, grabbing the box from the other side.
Our hands touched. Hers was soft. And I swear—I felt something. Like a jolt of electricity.
I leaned over to see her face, and suddenly I was hyper-aware of everything. She was beautiful. Like… actually breathtaking.
Before I could say anything dumb, she smiled and said, “Thank you.”
And my heart stopped at the sound of her voice.
“I moved into this building a couple of days ago. I’m Emma,” she added.
I tried to return the smile and look normal, but I’m pretty sure it came out weird when I croaked, “Hello,” with a voice crack straight out of puberty.
I cleared my throat quickly.
“H-Hi. I’m Jen. I live here too.” Seriously? I stuttered?
She smiled again and pointed out where to set the box. Her apartment was right next to mine. Now I remembered my mom mentioning a new neighbor. I hadn’t paid much attention.
“Would you like something to drink?” she asked once we’d set the box down.
“A glass of water would be great,” I replied.
“Okay, wait here.”
I looked around while she went to the kitchen. Her place was already nicely furnished—like she’d been living there for months. Must’ve had help decorating.
She returned with the water. And damn—she looked even better up close. Wavy brown hair, hazel eyes, soft pink lips. She was probably around 22, maybe 25. Shorter than me, around 5’4", while I’m 5’7". And her body? Let’s just say everything was where it should be.
I must’ve stared a little too long because she cleared her throat and brought me back to reality.
“I-I’m sorry,” I stammered. “My mom didn't tell me staring is rude.” What the hell is wrong with me?
She laughed—and it was like music.
“I like your place,” I said, trying to change the subject. “Looks great for someone who just moved in.”
She smiled. “My sister helped decorate it.”
“Oh, I see,” was all I could think to say. “Anyway, I should get going. You probably still have a lot to unpack.”
“Okay,” she said, then hesitated. “But, um, you’re welcome to come by anytime—if you’re bored or just want company.”
Wait. What?
She must’ve seen the shock on my face, because she added quickly, “Only if you want to, I mean—we’re neighbors, after all.”
“I’d love that, Em. Can I call you Em?”
“Of course. My friends do,” she said with another smile.
“Bye, Em.”
“Bye, Jen.”

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.

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."
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.
Where there should have been fear, lust emerged. Where there should have been hatred, a perverse loyalty was born. Andrew Thompson is the dark reflection of Vincenzo, the soldier the underworld did not see coming, and the man who proved that, for some, paradise only makes sense if it is in the middle of chaos.
Vincenzo opened the doors to his empire, but Andrew was the only one capable of invading his heart.
They are not heroes. They are hell on earth.

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.

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.
BROKEN TRUST

Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried.

The Unbreakable Oath
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.
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.
Invincible Upon Release: The Strongest Mage
Her family looked down on him, and even she herself said coldly: “You’re not worthy of being my husband.”
Everyone thought this newly released good-for-nothing was just a poor fool who’d taken the fall for his brother.
Thorne said nothing.
He merely raised his hand, gently pressing his bride’s forehead.
In an instant, the chaos in her eyes faded. Holy light surged from beneath the church, shooting into the sky.
The world’s only candidate for the Saintess, blessed with holy power, slowly opened her clear eyes before him.
