Glyndon King always knew that disasters start on starless nights. After the tragic death of Devlin, her best friend and confidant, she finds herself on a precipice, both literally and metaphorically. Haunted by the memories of the fatality and consumed by guilt, Glyndon returns to the cliff on Brighton Island, where everything fell apart. She hopes to find some form of peace or perhaps an end to her incessant pain.

But instead, she encounters Killian Carson.

Wrapped in sophisticated charm and an aura of mystery, Killian is a cold-blooded predator. His angular face and imposing presence hide a perverse and relentless nature. When he photographs Glyndon at the edge of the cliff, the line between savior and executioner becomes dangerously thin.

Killian reveals a dark side, a sick desire to capture the exact moment of Glyndon’s fall. He keeps her on the brink of the abyss, proposing a sinister deal: her life for his art. Trapped between the desire to survive and the dark magnetism of Killian, Glyndon must navigate through a web of manipulation and power.

As Killian provokes her and keeps her in suspense, Glyndon realizes that escaping this deadly game won’t be easy. His charm is as lethal as his disregard for human life. Glyndon is determined not to be just another victim in his collection of horrors, but every wrong move could lead to her destruction.

Her mate asked her to have another man's baby. So she chose his greatest enemy.

On our fifth wedding anniversary, I walked into the penthouse suite at the Plaza with twelve bodyguards at my back.
The room was thick with smoke, and the music was loud enough to make the floor shake. Seven or eight of New York's most well-connected heirs were sprawled across the sofas. When I came in, their champagne glasses stopped halfway to their mouths.
Dante Moretti sat right in the middle.
His shirt was open three buttons down, and he had his arm around a blonde. When he saw me, he didn't even change position. He just lit a cigarette, taking his time about it.
"Vivian." He blew out a stream of smoke and smiled lazily. "You're five years older than me. You should have figured out by now that you can't keep me on a leash. You've been managing me all these years. Aren't you tired?"
The girl in his arms giggled and traced little circles on his chest with one finger.
"Honey, once a woman's past thirty, she should just accept it." She batted her lashes at me. "Men like things fresh."
The whole room laughed.
I laughed with them.
Five years. I had wrestled the family back from his uncles and put him in the seat as head of the Moretti family. And he had dumped the entire weight of it on me and gone off to enjoy himself all over the world with one new face after another.
Every time I came to drag him home, his excuse was always the same: "I'm still young. I'm not done having fun."
In those five years, I had cleaned up more of his messes and buried more of his tabloid stories than I could count.

All of New York said Vivian Moretti must be desperately in love with her young husband to put up with this much.
No one knew the real reason.
I indulged him only because of his face.
That face of his — a striking mirror of his own elder brother, my white moonlight who had left this world too soon.
For five long years, I had spun for myself an elaborate dream.
And now, it was time to wake.

I never knew my blood could kill a king—until I met one. Sebastian, the ruthless and immortal King, rules with precision. For centuries, he's ruled with ruthless precision, his heart as cold as the stone throne beneath him. One moment, I'm nothing. The next, I'm his obsession. His touch burns like ice fire. His stare follows me through shadows. And when he feeds from me—God help me—it feels like drowning in darkness and craving more. He tells me my blood is unlike any he's tasted, that my scent drives him to the edge of madness.


He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.

He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

. “Now come here.” He says as he grabs my hands pulling me to my feet, he guides me to his desk and placing me in front of his chair lifts me up and sits me on top of his desk facing his chair, he than sits down in the chair. Sliding his hands up my legs to my panties he firmly grabs the edges and pulls them off me, spreading my legs wide he then leans his face towards the entrance to my pussy in which he then starts to eat me out. Moaning loudly, I pulled at his hair to get him to stop, but he will not.
Without knowing that between me moaning and pulling at his hair is turning him on even more, he does stop only to line his cock up with the sentence of my pussy before slamming hard and deep into my virgin pushy causing me to scream. The got the attention of two of the boys in the locker room and it just happened to be my brother Rocky and his best friend Fabio. After releasing his seed into me he turns me over and proceeds to continue banging me from behind as the two boys' watch. Rocky trying to break the door down while Fabio tried breaking the window. Not paying attention to what was going on outside of the door, when was done releasing into me again he turned me lifting me onto his hips and then sitting down with me on top of him. “I love you Bella, I will divorce my wife so we can be together, I should anyway for the fact you are going to have my baby.” He states matter of fatly as I am freak out even more. “YOUR MARRIED!!!

"Oh my God, is that a dead body? I am gonna puke." I choked out the words, shoving my hand over my mouth.

This is my second time seeing an actual dead body, and honestly I don't think I could ever get used to this.

Madeline had her entire life mapped out until she catches her fiancé in bed with her stepsister one week before graduation. Homeless, humiliated, and done being the girl who plays by the rules, she makes the worst decision of her life.

She moves in with Jaxson Vane.

Notorious. Ruthless. Captain of the rival hockey team with a draft spot dangling on the edge of his GPA. He needs a tutor. She needs a roof. Seven days. Clean and simple.

Except nothing about Jax is clean. Or simple.

He tests every boundary she has, and some she didn't know existed. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes the arrangement was never what he said it was. He knew exactly who she was before she knocked on his door. And he needed her for something that has nothing to do with tutoring.

Something that could detonate both their futures.

She came in with a plan. She's leaving with scorch marks.

Seven days. One secret.
And a man who makes her want to sin

My husband Ronald's best friend Clyde died three months ago, and with his last breath, he made Ronald promise to take care of his pregnant widow, Jennifer. From that moment, Jennifer invaded our lives, and I was only four months pregnant at the time.

Then Jennifer got caught in a gang shootout. She needed an emergency blood transfusion, and she had this rare blood type—Rhnull. Turns out, I'm Rhnull too.

To save Jennifer and her baby, Ronald forced me to abort mine.

At my ex-wife's century wedding engagement banquet, she pointed at my nose and humiliated me publicly: "A waste of space who lays bricks, get out!"
Her wealthy new lover pressed my face hard into broken glass and forcibly dragged away my desperately crying five-year-old daughter.
I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, drew the "Ghost Mark," and dialed the Pentagon hotline that had been dormant for five years.
Three seconds later, twelve Black Hawk helicopters shattered the dome, and a special task force descended from the sky. A two-star general, amid the terrified gazes of the assembled elite, saluted me with a thunderous: "Ghost Commander, troops have arrived as ordered!"
My ex-wife, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, instantly collapsed to the ground.

My husband's mistress sent me a video to rub it in, claiming she had just beaten my "pathetic, begging mother" bloody and kicked her down the stairs.
I froze, glancing up at my actual mother sitting right across from me, quietly sipping her coffee.
Bewildered, I zoomed in on the video.
When I made out the scar on the wrist of the woman lying in the pool of blood, a cold sweat broke out over my body. I frantically called my husband.
But he interrupted my plea with extreme impatience: "Shut up! Roxy was right to teach her a lesson. She was just taking out the trash for me!"
Since he insisted on indulging his precious mistress's death wish...
I wonder if he'll still be able to say she was right to teach her a lesson when he sees his own grandmother's corpse.

Loving him will cost them everything…

Not loving him will cost more.

Derek has one goal: survive high school without drawing too much attention or pissing off his pack’s alpha.

As the youngest son of the alpha, his life is governed by lycan hierarchy, tradition, and politics. With no signs of awakening a lycan spirit, his only value is what he can do for the pack’s image. He knows he’s only ever one misstep away from exile… or worse.

Then, he finds a boy trapped in a locker on orientation day, and everything changes.

Derek shouldn’t want Nikolias. He’s off-limits. A risk Derek can’t afford.

So why does it feel like he’s the only thing worth fighting for?

Nikolias has just lost everything: his parents, his home, and any sense of peace. Sent back to the town his family left years ago to live with his prejudiced and controlling uncle, who wants nothing to do with anything—or anyone—not human, he’s trying to do everything in his power to get out quickly.

But then he meets Derek again, and all of his plans vanish in the soft, yearning flecks of gold in Derek’s green-hazel eyes. He’s drawn to Derek in a way that’s impossible to deny, and he thinks Derek feels the same way, despite the danger their relationship holds for him.

As Moonshadow's politics turn deadly, Derek and Nikolai are caught in the crossfire of a war that had started long before they were born, and their bond becomes a threat and a lifeline that neither can afford to sever.

Because the heart wants what it wants….

And it never asks permission.

I felt my heart tighten in my chest as I watched with horror, my fiancé and my best friend having sex in the hotel. They were so engrossed and couldn’t even care less that they were half naked and anyone who cared, could see them from the glass wall of the building’s fourth floor. Sonia was pressed to the wall while Dennis worked her insides from behind. I couldn’t hear her moans but with every second that I imagined it, my heart sank the more.
