Chapter 1
Violet Ashlock
"Are you kidding me? Are you being serious?" My friend Merry said.
"Yeah.. I date that man now. Why?"
"Violet.. He's not your type." She laughed and I hissed.
"Oh come on.. You know I never want to be single. I always need someone to hook up."
"I know 10 years gap is not a problem but he's not your type. He's.. innocent." Merry said and I scowled.
"I'll end with him next week anyway.."
"Oh speaking of that.. Will you be at Harvey's party? Will you come? You know I won't come without you."
"Nah.. I skip. I'm aiming for par-"
"I know.." She cut me and I sighed.
"You are interested in him but he is not.. This is not you." She said and I laughed bitterly.
"That's my point. It's a challenge for me to get him. Get the memo?"
"Hello.. Violet! Get your head fix will you? You're not the type of woman who likes to chase guys first.. you're a girl with big ego and pride. Boys chase and lining up to get you, why waste your time for someone who has no interest in you?" Merry hissed and I nodded weakly.
"He's just.. uhmm.. different." I said as I twirled glass.
"Are you kidding me? You date for fun.. You don't want to get married right? You love this life.." She got the point.
"Well you know my dad.. He won't let me single forever. He will arrange me with someone anyway.." I rolled my eyes. Suddenly Merry's phone rang and I gestured to her to take it. I walked out from my private room to dance. I walked down and started to dance.
Waving my body carelessly and just following the beat. Suddenly I felt someone holding my waist from the back and I turned my body to find a cute light brown haired guy. I danced along with him. I don't care if I have a boyfriend.. I don't care if I cheat.. all of them are just a doll for me.
I grabbed his shirt and pulled his body to mine. I kissed him and he started roaming his hands all over my body. I opened my eyes and I saw someone that I had always expected to see for months. I pushed the guy away and walked back to my private room.
"Austin Portwalt is here.." I said and Merry looked at me with her eyes widened.
"What? This is Los Angeles in case you forgot."
"He's here.. I saw him entering the place."
"You should go!" He said and I looked to the mirror. I look okay..
"You look great! Go!" Merry pushed me out and I walked towards the dance floor again and roamed my eyes around.
"Looking for me.. Violet?" My breath got hitch when he whispered to my ear in a really seducing tone. I smirked and turned my body to him.
"What makes you think that? You know I never look for guys.. they look for me." I chuckled and trailed my finger around his chest. I looked straight to his eyes and he laughed dryly... or should I say boringly.. am I that boring for him?
"Oh really?" He trailed the back of his hand to my cheek and I felt my breath got hitch big time.
"Yeah.." I tried to keep my face straight.
"Goodluck for tonight then.." He smirked and walked away. He immediately found someone else and he kissed her straight away. What the heck!!
"Hello beautiful.." Someone slipped their arm's to me and I looked at the guy. It's Austin's friend Eduardo. He's cute and not bad but I like Austin better.
"Eduardo.. How are you?" I smirked and looked straight to his eyes.
"Pretty great.. How about you?" He asked and felt his hand roaming my body. I closed the gap between us and slowly creeped my hand inside his shirt.
"Pretty great too.." I whispered and looked up to him. I turned my body, making my back facing him. I slipped my hair to one side.
"Mind.. zipping it up?" I turned to him and smirked. He smirked sexily and zipped my dress up. He kissed my bare shoulder slowly trailing it to my neck. I moaned and I turned my head straight forward.
I saw Austin smirking with an unreadable expression at me. He was kissing the girl earlier but his eyes were looking straight at me. What game is he playing? He knew that I wanted him but he's playing with me..
You know I hate playing games..
I turned my body back to Eduardo and pushed him away. I walked back to my private room. I took my bag and got ready to leave. Merry will go home with someone anyway so I'll just leave. My mood dropped seeing Austin.
I walked out from the club and took out my car key. Walking towards the VIP parking lot unlocking my car key.
"Leaving so soon.. Violet?" I hate when he always said my name like it was the most sexy thing in the world. I ignored him and got into my car but before I could close the door.. he held it.
"Give me Eduardo's number.. I like him." I looked straight to his eyes and he smirked.
"Do you really want him?" He asked and that got me big time. I got out and looked at him coldly. I closed the gap between us and I put my index finger on his cheek. I slowly trailed down my finger to his neck.. chest.. abs
"What's with the question, Portwalt?" I asked and looked back to his eyes again.
"Interesting.." He said and I rolled my eyes. I got back inside my car and closed the door.
"Come to Ellie's party next week, wear something sexy." He said and then he left.
Yeah right.. Like I will come. I know what you're trying to do.. I'm not a fool..
"I'll show you that you can't control me.. I will be the one who controls you until you can't let me out from your sight.. not even a second."

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.
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else . I could still feel his touch, it was as if it was etched into my skin. I tired to avoid him but fate wouldn't let it happen.
The Sterling's were the most powerful in Havenwood and Dorian Sterling was off limits.
As an orphan finding out you still have people looking for you is hard to take but when it turns out to be people of wealth and standing I took the other road and ran, but running led me right back to the place I was avoiding and the person I was avoiding.
Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.

From Sacrificed Slave to the Dragon King's Obsession
His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.
Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.
From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.
Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.
Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.

The Hockey Alpha's Fake Girlfriend
Then there’s Rafael. Dark. Untouchable. The boy everyone talks about but no one really knows. He should be the last person Vivienne gets close to, yet she can’t look away. He pulls her in with a kind of danger that feels both terrifying and safe, like he sees the parts of her no one else can.
But Rafael carries secrets—secrets that could destroy them both. And the closer Vivienne gets, the harder it is to tell if he’s her way out… or the reason she never escapes.
Bound By Power, Torn By Love
She regards him as her only salvation, but he regards her as a pawn for revenge. When two enemies dance on the sharp knife, what will be the final outcome?
The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.
This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.
