I killed the Alpha.
At least that's what everyone thinks. I'd always been regarded as the black sheep of my family and Pack, the cursed girl.
Not only was I born mute, I never shifted at age 14, like a normal wolf should. That began my life of misery.
Due to unfavorable circumstances, I was blamed for the Alpha's death and demoted to the Pack's slave.
My life became hell on Earth but I endured it, hoping that one day, the truth would finally come out in the open.
I realized my life was over, the minute I found out I'm the Alpha's mate - a man who despises me with every breath and thinks I killed his father........

A Court of Arcane Souls Anthology (short stories focused on side characters within this universe, exclusive to Ream)

Three years ago, Violet Sorel watched the crown prince of Valdris burn her world to the ground. He took her kingdom, killed her parents, bit her in her own courtyard, and left her for dead. She survived. She planned. And when his palace posted an open call for blood servants, she walked straight through his doors with a smile on her face and murder in her heart.

Getting close to Prince Caspian was supposed to be simple. It was never simple.

Now she is his blood servant, his secret, and the first witch to walk Solaria in a thousand years — shipped off to Eirenmoor Academy where an incubus knows her from her dreams, a fae lord won't stay out of her forest, and the prince himself keeps looking at her like he is trying to remember something he was never supposed to forget.

She has a plan. She has a poison. She has everything she needs to destroy him.

The problem is the bond between them and the fact that it has never, not once, felt like hate.

The last witch of solaria is the first book in the Solaria trilogy… a slow burn reverse harem fantasy romance featuring a morally complex heroine, political intrigue, a magic academy that kills its students, and a revenge plot that refuses to stay simple.

“THE SORCERER’S RING has all the ingredients for an instant success: plots, counterplots, mystery, valiant knights, and blossoming relationships replete with broken hearts, deception and betrayal. It will keep you entertained for hours, and will satisfy all ages. Recommended for the permanent library of all fantasy readers.” --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos The #1 Bestseller! From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes the debut of a dazzling new fantasy series. A QUEST OF HEROES (BOOK #1 IN THE SORCERER’S RING) revolves around the epic coming of age story of one special boy, a 14 year old from a small village on the outskirts of the Kingdom of the Ring. The youngest of four, the least favorite of his father, hated by his brothers, Thorgrin senses he is different from the others. He dreams of becoming a great warrior, of joining the King’s men and protecting the Ring from the hordes of creatures on the other side of the Canyon. When he comes of age and is forbidden by his father to try out for the King’s Legion, he refuses to take no for an answer: he journeys out on his own, determined to force his way into King’s Court and be taken seriously. But King’s Court is rife with its own family dramas, power struggles, ambitions, jealousy, violence and betrayal. King MacGil must choose an heir from amongst his children, and the ancient Dynasty Sword, the source of all their power, still sits untouched, waiting for the chosen one to arrive. Thorgrin arrives as an outsider and battles to be accepted, and to join the King’s Legion. Thorgrin comes to learn he has mysterious powers he does not understand, that he has a special gift, and a special destiny. Against all odds he falls in love with the king’s daughter, and as their forbidden relationship blossoms, he discovers he has powerful rivals. As he struggles to make sense of his powers, the king’s sorcerer takes him under his wing and tells him of a mother he never knew, in a land far away, beyond the Canyon, beyond even the land of the Dragons. Before Thorgrin can venture out and become the warrior he yearns to be, he must complete his training. But this may be cut short, as he finds himself propelled into the center of royal plots and counterplots, ones that may threaten his love and bring him down—and the entire kingdom with him. With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A QUEST OF HEROES is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

The heiress of the wealthiest family was dead. Her death was caused by a plane crash planned her adopted sister. At a young age of 17, she had mastered so many skills while conquering the world. A top professor in world-class healthcare, she topped the world hacker list, joined a mercenary group ten years ago and became the world's top assassin with more hidden talents she used with hidden identities.
After her death, she's reborn into another body known as a worthless piece of trash, an ugly fat kleptomaniac filled with scars and acne and a foolish prankster.
She was scorned by her parents and often schemed against by her twin sister. The people in the society often curse and avoid her like the plague.
Until unexpectedly her beauty suddenly came back in thousand fold and then they started to realise otherwise.
Her top agenda is to reclaim her identity back and take back her position that her scheming adopted sister stole from her at all cost!

My wife had an affair.
Not only that, she casually indulged her lover over the phone, allowing him to crush the bones of my right hand, known as the "Hand of God," right in front of our six-year-old child, with a stomp of his shoe. I could never hold a tool again.
Natalie thought I was just a poor, pathetic loser earning a dead-end salary, so she brazenly let her gigolo trample all over me.
But what she had no idea of was that her proud identity as a transnational female CEO was merely a toy casually tossed to her by the top old-money family I belong to in New York.
When dozens of bulletproof armored vehicles smashed through the gates and my father, the patriarch, descended like the god of death, her arrogant self finally crumbled like a stray dog.
She screamed and jumped into the icy, bone-chilling lake to retrieve the diamond ring I had discarded, wailing and begging to chop off her own hand to compensate me.
But I just held the stunning British Duchess in my arms, watching coldly as she fell into an abyss of eternal damnation.
This love, tainted with shit, whoever wants it can have it!

For twelve centuries, the exiled vampire king waited for the prophecy foretold to restore his fallen power. But never expected the girl destined to save him to be the reincarnation of the wife he lost.

Anastasia has spent 18 years of her life beneath her grandmother's watchful eye, hidden from a world she never knew wanted her dead. Sheltered. Obedient. Ordinary – or so she believed.

And the illness slowly stealing her life is not just a disease. It is an awakening.

The man she has quietly loved from afar – the impossibly perfect, untouchable Mr. William – is not who she thought he was either.

He is older than memory. A king without a kingdom. A vampire betrayed by his own brother, stripped of his power, and exiled from the ancient realm of Umbralord centuries ago.

And Anastasia is the one prophecy foretold would restore what was

She knows what she is to him:

A prophecy. A key. A sacrifice.

Anastasia knows there is no escaping destiny . So she makes him an offer.

For six months. He was to date her. Love her. Not out of duty or pity, but as if she truly belonged to him.

What neither of them knows is that the heavens have always been cruel. She was the nemesis placed into his perfect life from the beginning.

Because Anastasia is the reincarnation of the mate William lost twelve centuries ago – the same woman whose death ignited a war that nearly destroyed an entire kingdom.

And this time, fate is not letting go.

Every year, the harvest comes. And every year, the vampires choose.

Eighteen-year-old Isla never paired, never bred, never followed the path carved out for human girls. Instead, she was drawn to the cold, to the mist, to the forbidden castle on the hill.

Now, she knows why.

It's him. It's always been him. Prince Aeron, the first of his bloodline. He is ancient, devastatingly handsome, and cruelly dangerous. He chooses her to be his human. His pet.

Or so she thinks.

Isla is more than just another toy. Marked by a forgotten rune, bound by a curse older than the vampire throne itself, she is the only one who can break the darkness that's creeping up on Aeron.

As Isla descends deeper into the quiet shadows of Aeron’s world, where pain is worshipped, obedience is pleasure, and desire can be more dangerous than death, she begins to question everything she’s been taught about the masters who rule her world.

I knew my life had changed forever.
Arlena Blackwell and her daughter, Alice, framed my sick mother for theft. Then they offered me a choice that wasn't a choice at all.
Save my mother… by taking Alice's place in Vince Montclair's bed.

Vince Montclair walks back into my life… and hires me as his assistant.

The people who destroyed my life are still watching.
Alice and her mother will do anything to keep the truth buried.
And the closer Vince gets, the harder it becomes to protect the secret that could destroy us all.
Because the night I gave up everything for a stranger didn’t just end when the sun came up.
It only began.

Ethan Cole was just an ordinary man.

He worked at an office for $12 an hour, was three months behind on his rent, and only had four numbers in his cell phone, which was cracked in a bus stop. He was not unlucky. He was just one of those guys that no one cared about.

Then on a Wednesday night, a mugger got a knife into his ribs and that's the end of Ethan Cole.

Except it wasn't.

I'm throbbing for him. Asa groans softly as he rubs his tip against my wet folds a few times, before positioning himself at my entrance. He looks down up at me, and I nod, reassuring him that this is what I want.
As soon as he enters me, I whimper, my hands flying up and grabbing onto his shoulders, my nails pressing down on his bare skin. A wave of pain flashes through my body as it stretches to meet his large girth and length.
Thankfully, Asa notices me tense under him, and he pauses, giving me time to adjust. His fingers brush the few hairs that have fallen into my face to the side, gazing into my eyes. He pecks my lips softly a few times.
"Oh fuck, Asa," I cry from underneath him, one hand cupped around his bicep as the other holds onto his chain. I'm so close, nearly trembling underneath him.

He smiled. Cold. Lazy. Like this was a game.

"Join hands."
The elder’s command rang through the hall, echoing in Irwin’s ears. Her body tensed, knowing what was coming next. Her hands felt clammy as she slowly raised them, extending her palm toward Dorian. 
For the first time, Dorian’s eyes locked onto hers. There was something there, something beyond the cold mask he always wore. But it was fleeting, and before she could make sense of it, he took her hand
The moment their skin touched, it was like lightning struck..

I've spent my whole life as the girl no one wants.

Raised on the edge of the Moonsilver Pack, I was neither fully a human nor a full wolf—that which everyone whispered about, openly despised and completely avoided. Because I cannot shift, they made me never belong.

But everything changes the night the moon answers to me.


As Aria’s powers awaken—dangerous, ancient, and undeniable hers, a forbidden mark burns into her skin. Then suddenly, the girl no one ever wanted becomes the girl everyone is watching. Some with fear, and some with anger.

When Kael—the ruthless future Alpha from the neighboring Moonshadow Pack–is ordered to watch her, he sees her as only what he was told to believe—a threat, a mistake, something that was never made to exist.

Until he begins to see the real Aria. The real truth.

But Aria isn't the only one keeping secrets. The man who had made her life a living hell—Alpha Riven of her pack, the Moonsilver Pack, now wants to claim her only because of her powers—the moonborn.

Aria is forced between a prophecy no one fully understands. The two powerful packs collide between old traditions, and a modern world they rule.

She can either ruin everything they've built, or become the weapon they all want. Then not even the moon will be able to save them when the truth comes to light.

I only wanted to send a naughty messages to my boy friend…
But instead, I accidentally sent a very naughty message to my cold, bossy CEO. Mr. Adrian Cole.
He doesn’t just ignore it.
He replies: “If you’re that curious, I can give you a real experience.”
That one message changes everything.
A night I can’t forget.
A secret that could end my career.
And a man who suddenly wants more than just one night.
But Adrian has secrets — dark ones.
And when I start getting mysterious threats at work, I realize our night together was no accident.
Someone wants to destroy both of us…
And the man I’m falling for might be the one holding the knife.

“I hate you, Xaden.”

“No, you don’t.” He counters.

“I want to kill you.”

“That’s very possible while you still love me.”

That arrogant smirk…I want to smack it off his lips so bad. My body vibrates, feeling currents through my nerves.

Dario rolled his eyes. “Yes, Shysie, you guys are late,” he said, annoyed. Dario hoped that the group of Vampires that are in hiding with him would have kept a low profile and behave themselves until the air was cleared with the Higher Council.
A group of 3 students stumbled into the classroom laughing. Ann’s eyes met one, and she started to get a glimpse of flashbacks.

“You think I’d share my mate? Just stand by and watch while you fuck another woman and have her kids?”
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.
“You’re unbelievable. I’d rather accept your rejection than live like that.”

This is a very dark romance with many levels. The things that happen to the FMC are horrific no matter how the men in her life attempt to label it. What happens to her is SA no if ands or buts. I don’t romanticize it, I call it what it is. Other characters, including the men, try to reframe it into something else, but she always calls it what it is. There’s no hearts and flowers between the main characters in the first half of this book despite the attempts of her men to change that, so please don’t think it is that type of romance book. Alex is tough, but she is put through a lot, and comes out the other side a stronger woman. If you can handle the darkness and emerge with her on the other side to a new life with the happiness she deserves, then please read her story.

Trigger warning. This is a dark romance, and it contains scenes of SA on page throughout the book. There is also kidnapping, trafficking, and depictions of torture. So, please be aware.

Two separate bonds with two completely different males - bad boy Brendan and the perfect soldier Reynard. How could this be? It defies the laws of nature; all werewolves are given one mate and one mate only.

As she and her two mates try to understand their anomaly of a mate bond, they also have to deal with an even greater threat that's approaching - something that's not only a threat to their pack, but to the entire werewolf species.

“Nira,” he breathed, reaching for the back of her head.
She continued to work every inch of him, her hands teasing, her mouth caressing, until his legs began to shake and his knees nearly buckled. She started to feel him grow larger as she moved faster, pulling his hips to her as she swallowed every inch of him, listening to him pant and groan.


It began with the legendary love story between Nira and Cursed One, Mikael. Mythical Investigator Nira Daniels was sent to look into a realm veil because of rumors of Daemoni terrorizing the local village. What Nira found instead was Mikael, the son of the High Queen, known as the Cursed One. He was nothing like she expected a Daemoni to be. Nira saw a thoughtful and insightful man under Mikael’s fearsome Daemoni form. And Mikael learned what love is with Nira’s company. It was a happily-ever-after, until their daughter Theanna was born, whose life was bonded to an intricate destiny……

BOUND BY DECEPTION is a fast-paced adult fantasy romance combining fake dating, morally grey protagonists, and a ghost-whispering heroine who refuses to be anyone's asset.

Set in the richly imagined city of Ashenveil , where a supernatural governing body polices the boundary between the living and the dead , this is the story of Seraphine Calloway, a junior book editor who talks to ghosts and has spent her whole life making herself invisible, and Emrys Vayne, a four-hundred-year-old Faeborn Warden who has spent the same period making himself untouchable.

Their arrangement is tactical. Their chemistry is not.

Featuring an enemies-to-lovers slow burn built on genuine intellectual respect, a ghost intelligence network that delivers the story's most crucial plot twists, supernatural political intrigue across six increasingly high-stakes acts, and a villain whose idealism makes him more terrifying than cruelty ever could.

Perfect for readers who loved the moral complexity of Twisted Love, the atmospheric tension of Haunting Adeline and the slow-burn longing of The Love Hypothesis but wanted all three in a world where the dead have opinions and act on them. Dark. Addictive. Impossible to put down.

The dead are talking. She's finally ready to listen to all of it.

Synopsis — Married by Midnight

Zoe Hart never intended to marry a billionaire; she struggles just to pay her rent, let alone a spontaneous marriage in Las Vegas. However, after a wild night filled with too much alcohol and surprising honesty, she wakes up with a pounding headache and hazy memories, only to discover she has a marriage certificate that ties her to Adrian King.

Adrian, the youngest tech mogul in his field, prides himself on maintaining control. Marriage was never on his agenda, especially not to a broke architecture student who possesses a sharp wit, captivating eyes, and zero tolerance to billionaire drama. Yet something about Zoe breaks through his polished world in a way he never saw coming.

When the footage of their wedding vows emerges, chaos follows. Adrian’s company faces a public scandal, Zoe's scholarship is at risk, and the media is relentless. Under intense public pressure, they strike a temporary agreement: remain married for a few months, strictly contractual.

However, living together in a penthouse under constant scrutiny, with staged public appearances, begins to blur the lines. Beyond the rehearsed smiles, genuine connections form—sharing laughter, heartfelt conversations, and unexpected closeness.

As their relationship grows deeper, danger closes in. Someone is determined on dismantling Adrian’s empire, and exposing their "fake" marriage could ruin them both. When sabotage strikes and the media turns ruthless, Zoe steps back to protect Adrian’s reputation.

It's then that Adrian realizes that success is actually nothing without her by his side.

Putting everything on the line, his company, his reputation, his entire life, he takes one last bold move to win her back.

Love was never part of their agreement.

Yet amid the bright light of Vegas and their shared moments, they discover a connection worth choosing.

Everyone deserves a second chance, even if they tried to strangle you to death in your sleep.

Aya has been trained all her life as a living weapon, but she has never taken a life. She has never been with a man. She lives her life for the sake of her mistress Lady Charlotte.

It will be a brutal task, assassinating the prince and his father and reclaiming the castle from the hands of the hundreds of savage northmen who have seized it. Aya is fully equipped for that mission, but she is not at all prepared for the savage charm of her new suitor. His tongue is just as wicked as his features are angelic, and the fact that he could break her neck with ease should he discover her duplicitous plot… Her intense attraction to him grows ever more potent, and her impulse is to claim him, not as a victim of her deadly scheme, but as her lover.

Will the prince even accept her though, if he uncovers her true identity: a peasant girl who came to this castle to murder him? Or is this deadly game of betrayal doomed to end in all out war?
