Welcome to Weston Hills.

A world of Witches and everything in-between.

Boomer’s story is about a boy split into three lives — before, during, and after Penelope Vales. Before her, he was just a kid running from a broken past, enlisting in the army to prove himself and earning his nickname through failure, grit, and loyalty. During her, he fell quietly, painfully, for the girl he could never have, standing beside her boyfriend and forcing himself to swallow what he felt while still protecting her in every way he could. After her, and after things crumbled with Mila, he’s left adrift — no uniform, no love, no clear identity — and has to learn how to rebuild himself piece by piece, to stop defining his worth by battles or by people he couldn’t keep, and finally figure out who he is when all that’s left is him.

Clues left at the crime scenes point to someone from the old neighborhood, and that isn't good.

If Frankie lets him go, he breaks the oath he took as a cop and risks losing his job. But if he tries to bring him in, he breaks the oath he kept for twenty-five years—and risks losing his life.

“Look, baby,” he murmured, hands gripping my hips under the blanket. “The sun is coming up. Watch the sunrise while I fuck you.”

He fucked me deep while his hand slid up into my hair, gripping firmly and pulling my head back so he could kiss my throat.

The back door suddenly slid open.

Max stepped out carrying a cup of coffee, freezing the moment he saw us tangled together under the blanket.

“So you guys decided to watch the sunrise too?” he asked casually.

Daniel went completely still behind me. “Uh… yeah. Hey man, can you give us just a minute?”

Max’s eyes widened in realization. “Ohhhh shit.”

“Yeah, um, sorry,” he said quickly, backing toward the door. “My bad. Carry on with the… sunrise.”

Roxanne never imagined her life would be reduced to a transaction. At sixteen, her parents abandon her, trading her for money to the household of her father’s older brother and his elegant wife, a childless couple desperate for an heir.

Though disguised as family duty, Roxanne knows the truth: she is nothing more than a solution to their problem, a sacrifice to preserve a legacy.

Yet it is not her uncle’s cold, watchful eyes that linger in her thoughts, it is his wife. Alexandra Romanov, with her graceful and composed demeanor, effortlessly embraces privilege, yet a quiet, aching loneliness lurks beneath her poise.

Unsure how to treat a teenage girl, unsure even how to be a mother, Alexandra turns to bedtime stories, whispered tales meant to comfort a frightened child. But in the stillness of the night, the stories deepen into something far more dangerous: unspoken desires, tender confessions, and an intimacy neither woman dares name.

As Roxanne struggles with her role as pawn in her uncle’s scheme, she finds herself bound to the one person she was meant to call stepmother. Love blooms in shadows, hidden in hushed words and stolen touches, but in a household ruled by control and appearances, every moment of tenderness risks exposure.

Trapped between duty, desire, and her longing for freedom, Roxanne must decide whether her “bedtime story” with Alexandra will remain a secret dream or spark a rebellion that could unravel the family’s fragile facade forever.

He was a young and intelligent 22yr old man who had recently gotten his masters, a few years after he'd graduated from college. Oh, he sure had attended the best schools.

The only thing, that made his parents proud.

“You’re not going back to work.”

“You don’t get to decide that.”

“I do when the man sitting beside you was murdered.”

Stone stepped closer. “Walk out that door, Fox, and I’ll follow.”

“To protect me?”

His jaw tightened. “To make damn sure you come back.”

——————

Getting involved with my biker bodyguard was never part of the plan.

Neither was watching one of his brothers die in front of me.

Now I’m the only witness to Tiny Benson’s murder, someone wants me dead, and Jaxon “Stone” Hayes has decided keeping me alive is his personal responsibility.

Fine.

We can keep this simple.

Casual sex. No promises. No expectations. And absolutely no pretending whatever is happening between us means more than it does.

There’s just one problem.

I’m not giving up Stormie Fox.

For years, I’ve been Stormie Fox, a high-end escort who gets invited into rooms most investigators could never reach. Tiny died helping me uncover something dangerous, and I refuse to abandon the investigation he left behind.

Which means Stone has to do the one thing neither of us is prepared for.

Stand guard while I go back to work.

He says he can handle it.

I say I can keep sex and feelings separate.

We’re both lying.

Because every client I see makes Stone a little more possessive. Every night he spends protecting me makes it harder to remember why we agreed to keep things casual. And the closer we get to the truth behind Tiny’s murder, the harder it becomes to hide the secret that started my investigation in the first place.

Stone thinks he’s protecting me from whoever killed Tiny.

He doesn’t know they’re the reason Stormie Fox exists.

"Yes," I breathed shakily. He then started to kiss my hip bone trailing as he pulled my paties off.
"Raise your legs," he instructed and I obeyed. He pulled my legs apart and inhaled. "Exquisite," he praised as he lowered his head and gave me a long, luxurious l*ck.

"I found you!"

"What?"

"What's your name?"

"Hah?"

"Your name?!"

"Seline."

"Seline,"he let go of the hug, then looked at me fixedly. His slightly dark brown irises suddenly turned silver in a matter of seconds, then my eyes widened perfectly when he finished his sentence.

"Now, you're mine Seline! Only Mine!"

His lips immediately covered mine suddenly...

For a moment I heard a whisper, "Your destiny has begun my daughter."

“Still hate me, Quinn?”

“More than yesterday, less than tomorrow”

Purple Quinn spent years rebuilding her life after the accident.

The last person she expected to see again was Harry Bords—the reckless boy who turned her pain into a joke.
Now he’s Roonie’s most famous biker and playboy
And also her housemate

Living under one roof with him becomes a job, constantly annoying each other, proving who hates who more and also trying not to fall in love.

Hating each other was easy
But ignoring the way he looked at her? Impossible.

"Let’s place a bet," Damien said, his voice dropping an octave, the sudden quietness of it far more terrifying than his shouting.

Mia blinked, her anger faltering for a fraction of a second. "A bet?"

Damien took another slow step forward, completely erasing the remaining distance between them until he was looming directly over her. "If this wedding doesn't happen—of which it won't... I’ll violently pursue you, Mia. There is nowhere in the world that you can go that I won't find you.

One petty lie. One month in Lake Como. And the role of a lifetime.
When Mia's friend announces her engagement to Mia’s toxic ex, she demands Mia serve as Maid of Honor. Refusing to be the pitiful, single charity case at a destination wedding in Italy, Mia blurts out a desperate lie: she’s dating her ex's estranged uncle.
The problem? Her "new boyfriend" is Damien Grey—a reclusive, devastatingly handsome global A-list actor.
Damien simulates desire for a living. As his public devotion turns intensely passionate and his possessiveness feels terrifyingly real, the lines of the script violently blur. Mia wanted to survive a wedding—now she has to survive him.

Halfway through my wedding, five months pregnant in a custom gown, waiting to say "I do."
A woman stood up and stopped everything.
"I'm so moved seeing you both live in the house I designed." She raised her champagne, smiling like she owned the place. "The architecture, the interiors, the gardens—all mine."
My fiancé Dorian didn't even explain. Just helped her out, left me standing there in front of a hundred guests.
That's when it hit me: I'd been living in his ex-girlfriend's custom-built dream house for three years.
I found the blueprints later. Every page in her handwriting: "S loves morning light," "island height for S," "bathtub sized for two."
Date stamp: March 2019—a year before we met.
I confronted him. He shoved me, impatient.
I fell down the stairs. Lost the baby.
He was in the hospital hallway on his phone: "Don't worry, I'm coming over. We can't let rumors destroy Seraphina's career."
I lay there touching my empty stomach, and something clicked.
I was going to take that house back. Then tear it down myself.
Brick by brick. Smash it all.

She spat, “Get off me!” and tried to wrench free.

I steadied myself and pinned her gently, drawing her hands above her head with mine.

She smelled of lilac and citrus, a bright, impossible scent that I wanted to bathe in. The sight of her—jaw set, lashes damp—clawed at something low and old in me. I get lost looking into her eyes. I get a sense of her anger, annoyance, fire and fierceness from them. Her scent was intoxicating. My eyes start wondering and tracing the features of her face; her perfect nose, angular jaw, and her polished plump sweet looking lips. It led me down to her throat where I could see her strong pulse on the side of her neck. Her neck led down to her beautiful, heaving chest. I could see the outlines of her sensual curves through her dress. She was impeccable.
