Murder

My husband killed me on the day of our fifth anniversary. I died at twenty-five.
Now, I'm back in my twenty-year-old body, on the very day he's meant to propose. He's waiting for me, all smiles and lies, but I know the truth—he's a cheater, a monster, and my future killer.
To escape my fate, I make a desperate move. I run straight into the arms of the one man Nicholas fears: Matteo Romano.
He's a ...

"I'll pay off Derek's debt and guarantee his protection from the Rogue King. In exchange, you sign a contract agreeing to be mine."
"Yours?" I step back, my ass hitting the edge of his desk. "What does that even mean?"
"It means you move into my estate. You act as my mate in public. You fulfill all the duties of a Luna. And in private... you belong to me completely."
"You can't just... I'm going t...

I was arrested the night I turned eighteen for murdering my parents. The evidence was perfect. The blood that stained my dress was their blood and my fingerprints were on the knife. The one person I trusted to stand up for me wouldn’t even see me—my mate, the heir to the Alpha King. Lucien Ashcroft passed without a word to me as the council sentenced me to death.
So I ran.
Seven years later, a fem...

Evelyn-my best friend, was very sure of who the murderer was, and as the richest girl in the country, the cops were ready to arrest anyone she pointed at.

As Evelyn's best friend, I thoughtlessly supported her too, so when she pointed fingers at Warren as the murderer, i believe...

“You can’t handle it,” he warned, backing away as I stepped closer.

“There’s no better way to know than to try.” I replied licking my lower lip.

Funny, right?

Zyle, the feared Alpha of the Lycos Clan.

A born predator.

And me? Just a freshman nerd, cornering the monster everyone else feared.

I didn’t plan to fall in love with my enemy, but loving him comes with a price.

Because apparently,...

"I, Kiara Vane, reject you, Alpha Liam!"

Kiara was the Westland Pack’s greatest joke: a blind, wolfless Luna married to a man who loathed her very existence. Pushed to suicide by her own twin sister’s betrayal and her mate’s cold-blooded cruelty, she was meant to be a forgotten footnote in history.

But the history books lied.

Cassandra, a feisty 21st-century student with a sharp tongue and a he...

"Marry me," my billionaire CEO demanded, trapping me in his office, completely unaware that my father was the man who murdered his parents.

I stared at John Alexander Blackwood, a man who evaluated people like stock options. He was cold, calculated, and terrifying. "A contract marriage," he said with dead eyes. "Three years. In exchange, your family's financial ruin disappears." I should have scr...

One carrot for every truth buried beneath the snow.

But hunters follow quiet footsteps too.

“Don't send me away! I promise to do whatever you want. Don't just send me back!" Desperate Candy pleaded with the man she knows nothing about.

He slowly turns to look at her, his gaze piercing as ever, sending a chill down her spine. Stepping closer, he reached her chin and raised it to make her meet his eyes, using his index finger.
