Chapter 1
Dr. Aiden Cole was not having a good day. Scratch that—he was not having a good year. Or a good life, if he was being honest, which he usually tried to avoid.
The ship’s cockpit was a claustrophobic mess of tangled wires, half-empty coffee cups, and blinking lights that Aiden was 90% sure were just there to make him anxious. He sat slumped in his chair, staring at the swirling nothingness of space outside, contemplating the profound question of whether he had left the stove on back home. Not that it mattered—home was several light-years away and rapidly running out of oxygen, but hey, a man could worry.
The console in front of him beeped—a sharp, irritating sound that seemed designed specifically to ruin his day. Aiden squinted at the flashing screen. “Unidentified signal detected,” it announced in a tone that Aiden swore sounded smug.
“Oh, great,” Aiden muttered, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Just what I needed. Another mystery signal from the middle of nowhere. As if the last one didn’t nearly fry my circuits.”
He leaned forward, his fingers dancing over the controls with the kind of dexterity that came from years of avoiding actual work. The screen flickered, displaying a fuzzy image that slowly resolved into… something. Aiden tilted his head, squinting at the structure that loomed out of the planet’s atmosphere like a bad omen.
It looked ancient, the kind of ancient that made pyramids look like IKEA furniture. Spires jutted out at odd angles, half-covered in glowing vines that seemed to pulse with their own internal rhythm. It was almost pretty, in a “this-is-definitely-a-trap” kind of way.
“Alright, Aiden,” he said to himself, his voice tinged with the kind of manic energy that came from too many sleepless nights. “This is probably fine. It’s not like every ancient alien structure you’ve encountered has tried to kill you. Oh wait…”
He tapped a few more buttons, sending the ship into a slow descent toward the planet. The whole vessel shuddered as it broke through the atmosphere, and Aiden winced as the hull groaned like it was about to fall apart. “Steady, girl,” he murmured, patting the console as if that would help. “Just get me down there in one piece, and I promise I’ll clean out the coffee stains. Maybe.”
The ship’s lights flickered, and Aiden’s stomach dropped as the console sparked. The image on the screen was suddenly overtaken by swirling energy readings that danced across the display like a neon rave. Aiden’s eyes widened as he watched the data scroll by, half fascinated, half terrified.
“That… that’s not normal,” he said, his voice cracking slightly. “And when I say not normal, I mean ‘this is how people die in horror movies’ not normal.”
He grabbed the communicator, his fingers trembling slightly. “Command, this is Dr. Cole. I’ve found something. Something big. Possibly even bigger than the time I accidentally turned my kitchen into a zero-gravity zone.”
He paused, waiting for a response that didn’t come. Just static. Aiden let out a long, exasperated sigh. “Of course, the one time I actually need you guys…”
With a resigned shake of his head, Aiden set the ship down on the planet’s surface. The landing was less than graceful, with the ship skidding slightly before coming to a jerky stop. Aiden felt every bump and jolt in his bones.
He sat there for a moment, staring at the controls as if they might somehow offer him an excuse to stay in the safety of the cockpit. But the structure loomed large on the screen, its darkened windows staring back at him like empty eye sockets. Something about it was undeniably compelling—like a puzzle begging to be solved.
“Alright, Aiden,” he muttered, grabbing his gear and heading for the exit. “Time to go poke the ancient alien bear. What’s the worst that could happen?”
The door slid open with a hiss, and Aiden stepped out onto the planet’s surface. The air was cool and damp, carrying a faint, earthy scent that reminded him of old libraries and forgotten corners of the world. He looked up at the towering structure before him, its spires reaching toward the sky like skeletal fingers.
Aiden swallowed hard, his nerves jangling with a mixture of excitement and dread. “Well, here goes nothing,” he said, flashing a grin at the ominous building. “Let’s see if you’ve got any surprises for me, Aetheria.”
With that, he started forward, his steps quick and light, as if he could outrun whatever fate awaited him inside.
And somewhere deep within the ancient ruins, something stirred in response.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
WARNING: Mature Readers Only
Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
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.

When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
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.

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?
Kaged In
Follow Kage's journey as he tries to heal, falls in love and faces his inner turmoil.
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
Offside Temptation
Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.
When he grabbed my jersey in that locker room and kissed me in front of twenty cameras, it wasn't a mistake. It was the moment the line between hatred and obsession finally snapped. The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.
"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.
He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.
Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...
Let Them Kneel

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.

Shanti needs Shakti. (Peace needs strength.)
Where the Ice Gives Way is a slow-burn YA paranormal romance filled with fated mates, protective alpha energy, fierce sibling loyalty, found family pack bonds, hurt/comfort, and quiet, aching tension. It’s a story about first belonging, learning to be cared for, and what happens when the girl who has always held everyone else up finally falls, and someone catches her.
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.
Oops. My Boss Was Seventeen
The Execution: Perfect. I brought him coffee, cheered at his games, and basically operated as his unpaid teenage executive assistant. He’s totally buying it.
The Problem: I was trying to network my way into the C-suite. I think I just networked my way into his bed.
