Introduction
They both know its forbidden, and hearts will be crushed if they pursue their desires, but can they resist? Or will they risk everything?
Livie---My first kiss with James
“Fuck it.” He growled, then grabbed my face and kissed me. Hard.
I gasped in shock, and he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, massaging my tongue with his. My body was on fire as he pulled me closer to him, pressing my body against his.
Moving his hands from the sides of my face, he ran his fingers through my hair before grabbing it in his fist, tugging just enough to make me want more.
Every nerve in my body was begging to be touched,
James---My second kiss with Livie
“Livie, wait.” She turned, locking eyes with me, and I knew then I had to have her.
“You know this is a terrible idea,” I said as I closed the distance between us.
She shook her head, saying, “I don’t care.”
We stood there, eyes locked, the intensity between us growing.
Finally, I pulled her to me as I dipped my head down, allowing my lips to reach hers.
As she deepened the kiss, I knew there was no way I could resist this woman.
Chapter 1
James
I woke from a dead sleep. The shrill ring of my phone made me sit up straight. Who would call at this hour? It can’t be the hospital; Dr Stone is on call tonight. I rolled my shoulders and stretched across the bed to grab my cell from the nightstand. The caller id read UNKNOWN. I thought this can’t be good as I answered the phone, unsure of what could be on the other end.
“This is Dr. Wilson.” My voice was more clipped than I intended, but it was hard to sound cheerful at three a.m.
“James?” The smallest voice was on the other end of the phone.
“Liv? Livie?” Why was my sister’s best friend calling me at three a.m.?
“James, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know who else to call. Beth is out of town and I’m um... I need your help.”
Hearing her voice, I was already getting out of bed and tugging on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. “Where are you? I’m on my way.” My kid sister’s friend had been a part of my life since she was born, and she always knew she could count on me if she was in trouble. Livie was nineteen, and still in her party phase. I hated it, but we all go through that phase, don’t we?
“I’m at the lake, James. You know, the parking area behind the dam.”
That was all I need to hear. I immediately started moving faster. If she was there, she was with a guy and things went badly. “Are you hurt? What happened?” My voice came out angry, but I hoped she knew it wasn’t towards her. My thoughts went back to the night I got the same call from Beth, and I prayed it wasn’t a repeat of that night.
“I’m not hurt, James. Just embarrassed. And need to not be here anymore.” Her voice cracked at the last words.
“I’ll be there in ten minutes. Don’t move.”
Livie
I hated calling him for help. He always looks at me like a kid sister, a mess who needs to get it together. I’m trying to do better, but I know he can’t see that. I’d heard rumours, but I wanted to believe that Carter was a good guy, not a total dick.
We had a great time at dinner, went to the bonfire for a little while, and then he wanted to go for a drive. My parents insisted I spent time with him, so I agreed. I’m sure it’s because my father wants to get into business with his father, but regardless, I wanted to give him a fair chance. I had no idea how wrong I was.
The car was barely in the park before he was trying to get my clothes off, and when I said no, he had the nerve to get pissed.
“Since when do you say no?” He scoffed, still pawing at me. We had a few drinks at the bonfire and his breath was hot and reeked of cheap beer.
“I know what people say, but it’s not true. I don’t hop into bed with every guy I cross. Don’t be a dick.” I want to tell him to take me home, but I can’t stand the idea of facing my parents.
The more time I can spend away from that place, the better. My dad thinks Carter is a local hero, so I know I’m going to take the blame for this date going badly.
“Come on, baby. You know we can have a good time.” Leaning into me again, trying to kiss my neck, I pushed him back and told him to knock it off, again.
“I’m not going to have sex with you, so stop it now. If that’s a problem, then we can leave.”
“Why are you being such a cock tease? I never would have agreed to this if I knew you were a prude! I’m going back to the bonfire. Find your own way home.”
“Carter, are you kidding me?” My aggravation quickly turned to anger. “Carter, we’re miles from home. You cannot leave me out here.”
“Show me a good time, or take a hike.” Before I could fully process what he was saying, he leaned over to open my door and practically shoved me out. My shock kept me paralyzed. I stood there and watched him drive away, leaving me miles out of town. Trying to consider my options, if I went back to the bonfire, I’d have to deal with his jackass comments all night.
Calling my parents was not an option. Dad would never believe me about Carter. As the lights on his truck fade out of view, I panicked. Grabbing my phone from my bag, I started to call Beth before remembering she was out of town this weekend. So that leaves James. He sounded so angry on the phone. I hope his anger is directed at Carter and not at me.
James
I got to the lake as quickly as possible. Thankfully, this time of night there isn’t much traffic. I could see the bonfire on the other side of the lake, and I was instantly grateful she called me instead of walking to the other side of the lake. I know I shouldn’t feel that way. She’s my kid's sister’s best friend, but I have always been so protective of her.
I pulled up and spotted her immediately. I jumped out of the car, asking “Are you sure you’re ok?” I looked her over to make sure she didn’t have any injuries, before opening the passenger-side door for her. As she climbed in, it was hard to ignore how beautiful she looked.
Her cheeks were flushed, and she was wearing a yellow sundress that hung on her curves in all the right ways. “I’m ok, James. Really. It was Carter. He’s such an ass. We had a few drinks at the bonfire, and he doesn’t seem to understand the word no.”
“Carter? Carter Smith? He’s in town?” The last I heard, he was across the country attending university. “Did he do something to you? Hurt you?” I could feel my anger rising, remembering what Beth went through a few years ago.
“Yeah. He’s in town for the summer and my parents think he’s a saint, so they insisted I let him take me out tonight. We were having a good time, then he basically said I had to fuck him or walk home. I heard rumours, but I know how people twist the truth, so I went against my better instincts and agreed to go out with him.”
Her frustration was clear in her voice, but it quickly turned to panic. “Shit! James, you can’t take me home! My father will accuse me of being rude to Carter on purpose, just to hurt him!”
“What are you talking about? Carter attacked you! I should hunt him down and kick his ass! Nick can’t say that’s on you!” Even as I said the words, I knew I was wrong. Her dad was a total dick and always treated Liv like a second-class citizen. Yeah, she made mistakes, but all kids do. I looked over at her as we turned off the lake road and headed towards town.
The tears threatening to spill down her cheeks worsened the fear in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, Liv. You can sleep in my guest room tonight.” I reached over to grab her hand and reassure her she was safe with me. My heart immediately skipped a beat, and I forced myself to remember I’m over ten years older than her and totally off limits

King of the Underworld
However, one fateful day, the King of the Underworld appeared before me and rescued me from the clutches of the most powerful Mafia boss's son. With his deep blue eyes fixed on mine, he spoke softly: "Sephie... short for Persephone... Queen of the Underworld. At last, I have found you." Confused by his words, I stammered out a question, “P..pardon? What does that mean?”
But he simply smiled at me and brushed my hair away from my face with gentle fingers: "You are safe now.”
Sephie, named for the Queen of the Underworld, Persephone, she's quickly finding out how she's destined to fulfill her namesake's role. Adrik is the King of the Underworld, the boss of all bosses in the city he runs.

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
The mafia princess return
Badass in Disguise
"Jade, I need to check your—" the nurse began.
"OUT!" I snarled with enough force that both women backed toward the door.
Once feared by Shadow Organization that drugged me to replicate my abilities into a more controllable version, I had escaped my restraints and detonated their entire facility, ready to die alongside my captors.
Instead, I woke up in a school infirmary with women arguing around me, their voices piercing my skull. My outburst froze them in shock—clearly they hadn't expected such a reaction. One woman threatened as she left, "We'll discuss this attitude when you get home."
The bitter truth? I've been reborn into the body of an overweight, weak, and supposedly dim-witted high school girl. Her life is filled with bullies and tormentors who've made her existence miserable.
But they have no idea who they're dealing with now.
I didn't survive as the world's deadliest assassin by allowing anyone to push me around. And I certainly won't start now.
Accidentally Crossing the Tycoon
Four years ago, the Bailey family faced a devastating financial crisis.
Just when bankruptcy seemed inevitable, a mysterious benefactor emerged, offering salvation with one condition: a contract marriage.
Rumors swirled about this enigmatic man—whispers claimed he was hideously ugly and too ashamed to show his face, possibly harboring dark, twisted obsessions.
Without hesitation, the Baileys sacrificed me to protect their precious biological daughter, forcing me to take her place as a pawn in this cold, calculated arrangement.
Luckily, in those four years, the mysterious husband never asked to meet in person.
Now, in the final year of our arrangement, the husband I've never met is demanding we meet face to face.
But disaster struck the night before my return—drunk and disoriented, I stumbled into the wrong hotel room and ended up sleeping with the legendary financial mogul, Caspar Thornton.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
The War God Alpha's Arranged Bride
Yet Alexander made his decision clear to the world: “Evelyn is the only woman I will ever marry.”
Chosen By The Cursed Alpha King
"But I will survive."
I whispered it to the moon, to the chains, to myself—until I believed it.
They say Alpha King Maximus is a monster — too big, too brutal, too cursed. His bed is a death sentence, and no woman has ever left it alive. So why did he choose me?
The fat, unwanted omega. The one my own pack offered up like trash. One night with the merciless King was supposed to end me. Instead, it ruined me. Now I crave the man who takes without mercy. His touch burns. His voice commands. His body destroys. And I keep going back for more. But Maximus doesn't do love. He doesn't do mates. He takes. He owns. And he never stays.
"Before my beast consumes me completely—I need a son to take the throne."
Too bad for him…I'm not the weak, pathetic girl they threw away. I'm something far more dangerous —the one woman who can break his curse… or break his kingdom.
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 Alpha King's Hated Mate
"You? Reject me? I refuse your rejection, you can't escape me mate," he spat his voice filled with hatred. "Because I am going to make you regret that you were born, you will beg for death but you won't find it. This is my promise to you."
Raven Roman is the most hated wolf in her pack, condemned for a crime her family committed against the Royal Family. Bullied, humiliated, and treated as a curse, she has survived every wound fate has dealt her until it delivers the cruelest twist of all.
Her fated mate is none other than Alpha King Xander Black, the ruthless ruler whose family her own once betrayed. The man who wants her destroyed. When she tries to reject him, he refuses, vowing to make her life a living nightmare.
But nothing is as simple as hatred.
There are truths buried beneath their shared past—secrets, lies, and a dangerous pull neither can deny. A bond that refuses to break. And as their worlds collide, Raven begins to uncover the darkness that has shaped both of their destinies.
Betrayal. Power. An enemy lurking in the shadows. Will Xander and Raven overcome the sins of their bloodlines and stand together against the forces threatening their world? Or will their hatred consume them long before the truth can set them free?
