Dying in front of the Forbidden Gates that housed the most brutal mafia leader was definitely not what Aiyana had planned for her day but there shebwas.
Contrary to the rumors about him, he saves her but keeps her hostage.

Aiyana can't help but imagine the worst but what happens when she actually sees him for more than just the ruthless mafia leader she had always heard of?
What happens when who was supposed to be a gruesome killer, takes better care of her than anyone ever had?

I guess you'll have to read and find out...

After a hot weekend with a mysterious woman, Damien Chan did not expect to get a frightened phone call from her, begging him to save-what? who? The call is cut before she says it. The next thing he knows, he's become obsessed with finding her and saving her from the man that had led to their first meeting. But he never expected to find her in his cousin Dale Carson's house... as his wife! She finds out her nightmares are actually memories of her past life... the life of a murderer. Could she truly be the deranged Ellsa Jabari who'd almost added her own sister Ellie to the list of people she's killed? Amnesia can be a real bitch!

Twins Ellsa and Ellie are completely different in character, personality, taste and interests. Apart from the striking resemblance to each other, they share the one thing siblings shouldn’t. The same taste in men.
Carson is interested in only one of them. He is pulled by Ellie’s passion for love and art, and most importantly, him. What starts as a sexual chase, ends with his permanent retirement from bachelorhood.
But their love story is not a smooth one.
Ellie is implicated in the brutal murders of her ex-boyfriends, and Carson is faced with the horror of arresting the love of his life.

All Derek Silva wants is to maintain the life he loves as is. The dangerous lifestyle that came with being a CIA agent with the license to kill. But his long time lover decides she wants a normal life, a slow and quiet life, to have a house and a family. He didn’t do normal and he definitely didn’t do slow and quiet. But saying no to a woman who went by Jackie the Ripper was a fatal risk only an idiot would take. Derek wasn’t known to be very bright.
All Elaine wants is a normal life, to no longer be Jackie the Reaper, the deadliest Black Widow alive. She wants the house with a white picket fence, the husband, the two point five kids and a dog. To be a wife and a mother not an assassin. Was that too much to ask? Apparently so because she had to drop a few bodies to get it.

In the neon shadows of Veylar City, power is currency and the Black Sun holds it all.

Kaelen Vale was the last heir of an ancient martial clan… until the Black Sun slaughtered them and shattered their greatest weapon into seventeen shards. Now, each shard is a prize in the city’s deadliest underground war capable of granting impossible power, at the cost of your humanity.

Back from exile, Kaelen swears to reclaim every piece. But the deeper he hunts, the more the shards change him strengthening his body, sharpening his reflexes… and feeding a darkness he can’t control.

Allies become enemies. Betrayal hides behind the brightest smiles. And in a city where skyscrapers pierce the clouds and gangs prowl the alleys, the deadliest threat may not be the Black Sun itself… but what Kaelen is willing to become to destroy it.

Vivienne has always felt small. At home, she’s trapped in pain she can’t escape. At school, she hides in the shadows, counting the days until she can finally be free. But one choice shatters everything, leaving her broken and more alone than ever.

Then there’s Rafael. Dark. Untouchable. The boy everyone talks about but no one really knows. He should be the last person Vivienne gets close to, yet she can’t look away. He pulls her in with a kind of danger that feels both terrifying and safe, like he sees the parts of her no one else can.

But Rafael carries secrets—secrets that could destroy them both. And the closer Vivienne gets, the harder it is to tell if he’s her way out… or the reason she never escapes.

I’m a dedicated surgeon who once gave up everything for love. I married my childhood sweetheart, only to discover he’d been cheating on our anniversary with my stepsister. I was gaslighted, betrayed, and even hurt by him, while my family took his side and blamed me for everything. I’d had enough. I signed the divorce papers, applied for a three-year overseas program, and decided to walk away from this toxic life. Before I start over, I exposed their ugly truth at their engagement party — no more silence, no more pain. This is my journey of breaking free from a broken marriage, regaining my dignity, and rebuilding my life from zero.

Mia Chen does not have time for distractions. Between three jobs, a perfect GPA, and a life built on survival, there is no space for anything else. That is, before she met Ethan.
Ethan Cross is the opposite of control. As the Whitmore University’s star hockey forward, he is as famous for his temper as he is for his talent, and every mistake he makes off the ice threatens the future he is trying to secure.
When a viral moment forces them into the same orbit, a fake relationship becomes the simplest solution to very real problems. Cameras turn it into entertainment. The public turns it into a story. And somewhere between staged dates, forced smiles, and constant scrutiny, the line between performance and truth begins to blur.
But both of them are hiding secrets that could break them. And when the truth finally catches up, love is no longer something they can negotiate.

Fake dating the beast was never supposed to make her howl.

Micoy "The Beast" Ronan is the NHL's most feared hockey enforcer and an undefeated underground boxer, a dominant werewolf alpha barely containing his feral power. When a leaked video nearly exposes his glowing eyes and claws mid-fight, his career and the secrecy of his pack are on the line.

Elisa Voss is a bold sports journalist and physical therapist tasked with destroying his reputation. But when their explosive first meeting turns into a desperate deal, she becomes his fake girlfriend for the cameras. One icy public kiss is all it takes for the pretense to ignite into something dangerously real.

Behind closed doors, Micoy claims her with raw, primal hunger, rough locker room fucks, sweat-slick nights in the boxing ring, and moonlit knotting sessions that leave her marked, aching, and addicted. His possessive touch awakens the latent wolf in her blood, blurring every line between fake and fate.

As rival packs attack, jealous exes strike, and the league closes in, their fake relationship becomes the only thing keeping them alive. With bloody championship games, brutal underground fights, and a mating bond neither can deny, Micoy must protect his woman while Elisa decides if she's willing to surrender to the beast who could ruin or complete her.

Getting cheated on by my hockey-player boyfriend of two years was humiliating.

Finding him with my sworn enemy meant war.

So, when I cross paths with Zane Hunter, the campus's untouchable biker and king of the underground racing scene, I make a deal I know I should regret.

Fake-date him.

It was supposed to be simple. Revenge on my ex. No feelings attached. No complications.

Until our fake relationship goes viral.

Suddenly, everyone is watching us, and Zane's enemies are watching me.

The closer I get to him, the more I realize the dangerous biker everyone fears has secrets he'd kill to protect.

And somehow, I've become one of them.

I thought I was using Zane for revenge.

I never expected to become the one thing he'd destroy everything to protect.

We both had one rule.

NO FEELINGS ATTACHED.

Somehow, we both broke it.

At Stoneleigh Academy, social status is everything.

And scholarship students like Liona Vaughn are at the bottom of the food chain.

After becoming the newest target of Stoneleigh’s cruel elite, Liona is determined to survive quietly, keep her grades up, and stay invisible.

Then Ryder Russo returns.

The terrifying heir to one of the richest families in the country is older than the other students, dangerously violent, and surrounded by rumors dark enough to make even bullies step aside.

Everyone at Stoneleigh fears him.

Everyone avoids him.

So when Liona accidentally sits at his table, the entire academy turns against her overnight.

But Ryder’s attention is the least of her problems.

Because something in the shadows has started watching her.

Whispering to her.

Touching her in the dark.

And every nightmare ends the same way—

With bright blue eyes staring back at her.

Ever since her family went bankrupt, work is all Florence does to help out at home. But when she meets Scott Lee, a rich and handsome CEO, everything changes. Although gentle and romantic, Scott doesn’t believe in marriage. But when his grandfather warns him of the need to have an heir to carry on their legacy, Scott gets worried about the company falling into the wrong hands.

Unable to stay away from Florence, he thinks the only way he can agree to his grandpa’s plan is if he marries her and proposes a deal: get married for the sake of their families and divorce after he gets the company.

Florence accepts but falling in love wasn’t in the script. Now, she needs to control her feelings while pretending to be the perfect wife and remain safe as Scott’s enemies go after her.


“I want you to go on a date with me.”

“Why me?”

“What kind of question is that? Why you? Why not you?”

Falling for my Fake Husband is created by Rafaella Dutra, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

I found my fated mate in bed with my bully.

Theo was supposed to be forever. Instead, he gave me front row seats to my own humiliation, while Marcy smiled like she'd already won.

I thought heartbreak was the worst of it. Then Alpha Jaxen, the boy who's tormented me since day one, offered me a deal: fake dating, real revenge. Together, we'd make our cheating mates pay.

It sounded insane. I said yes anyway.

But Jaxen isn't just playing revenge.

He's playing me.

And I'm starting to wonder if I'll survive falling for the wrong Alpha twice.

"Pose for the portrait, Anna."
Her beauty is his golden ticket—her uncle's weapon to amass endless wealth, a cage that locks her in a gilded mansion, stealing her freedom and her hope. She'd given up on being saved, resigned to a life as a pretty, silent prize… until he walks in, dressed in the sacred black of a priest, a disguise hiding his true face.
She feels him the second their eyes meet, a pull so fierce it shatters her numbness. And in his arms, her innocence is not just claimed, but devoured. Now she craves him, more with every stolen touch, every secret whisper in the dark.
But who is this fake priest, hiding behind a cross and a lie? What will her ruthless uncle do when he uncovers the sin blooming in his prison? Will this man be her salvation...or will he become the worst nightmare she's ever known?
FUCKED BY THE FAKE PRIEST—where sacred disguise meets forbidden desire, and salvation is just a sin away.

Slipping into a faux engagement with the one man who still haunts my midnight fantasies? That's the kind of reckless decision that sends shivers down my spine—and it's exactly the offer Jason Shane, my new boss and former high school flame, presents to me. I'm the one who accidentally encounters his smoldering gaze and sculpted physique in the men's locker room, where the steam isn't just from the showers.

The chemistry? It's as palpable as the droplets running down his toned chest. The proposal? A seductive plot to parade as his betrothed to dazzle the company's higher-ups. The payment is generous, tempting, and utterly scandalous. With a racing heart and a whispered "yes," I find myself swept into a world of intoxicating luxury and sinful playacting.

But this retreat is no ordinary affair. Each feigned caress is laced with genuine longing, every pretend kiss laden with real desire. I'm caught in a dance of sensual deception, where every touch is a secret confession of yearning. As the lines between performance and reality blur, the man with the ruthless business edge shows glimpses of the tender lover from my past.

I keep telling myself it's all just a game, that the man who now commands boardrooms can't possibly offer the tenderness I crave. It's supposed to be easy to leave the fantasy behind when the masquerade ends. Yet, with every stolen embrace, I'm left questioning whether this act of passion could lead to a love that's all too real.

I'm stepping into a story where fiery old passions ignite amidst a high-stakes game of love and pretense, testing the boundaries between the facade and the heartfelt. Can I play the part without falling for the man behind the mask?

In my past life, my best friend Isla was the one sacrificed to Blackstone Island. She was sent to fulfill the ancient covenant between humans and Shifters—to marry that cold-blooded Black Dragon Guard Captain, Sebastian.

The result? A tragedy.

Isla was tormented by Valerie, Sebastian’s childhood friend, who used the most despicable schemes to break her. And Sebastian? He remained an oblivious, arrogant statue for thirty years, watching Isla wither away like a rose drained of life. She spent her entire existence wilting in the shadows of his palace.

As for me, I followed my family’s orders and married an accountant named Ryan. But the warrior's blood of a martial arts clan runs through my veins, while Ryan was a spineless coward who loathed my "wildness." I found him calculating; he found me untameable. We divorced within two years, and I died alone and forgotten.

But the heavens have given me a second chance. I’ve been reborn!

The covenant between our races only demands a daughter of my family—it never specified which one. This time, I'm not letting Isla go to that hellhole. If a dragon needs a bride, he's getting me.

“Marek!”

Straightening, I glared at her. “I think you forgot. I apparently need to remind you.”

“Forgot what?” She was caught between the pleasure and the pain.

“I am a monster. I’m bathed in blood. Molded by it. I’ve been in this filth for much longer than you have been alive, búsinka.”

Her eyes widened. “Marek…”

“You don’t get to run. You don’t get to think you are too damaged. That there is too much blood on your hands or that you are too soulless. I was there first. So don’t you dare shy away from me, zhena…”

No boyfriend since birth and has no plans to have one, not until she finishes college and has a wonderful job. But Rebecca's plans and dreams started to change the moment she met the mysterious guy named Linus Damian Welhemton.

"Sign the papers. We're getting divorced." He said with a straight face.
Morgan loved him with her entire heart. She sacrificed everything for him, all in the hope that he would love her back.
In that moment, all the years of her life spent loving him wasted. The baby in her stomach she had planned to tell him about weighed heavily on her mind.
"I was with you only because you looked like her." He said. "Sign the papers and get out of my house."
Once his first love returned, he was quick to cast her away like used trash.
Morgan, determined to move on with her life, left him. She is no longer the sad girl in love with him. Now the CEO is the Rosewood Enterprises, she vows to reclaim her life back. Dante realized he was in love with her, and tries to get her back.

I was supposed to be nobody.

No powers. No bloodline. No idea what I was. Just a girl who got an acceptance letter she never applied for, to a school full of shapeshifters who could fly, shift, and burn the world down—while I could barely feel the magic inside me.

Everyone told me to stay away from Kane Smith. The last Phoenix. The cursed one. The boy the whole academy feared and hated for sins that weren't even his.

I didn't listen.

Because when Kane looked at me, he didn't see a fraud or an outcast. He saw a puzzle worth solving. And the closer he looked, the more dangerous the truth became—not just about what I am, but about who I was born to be.

Someone erased every record of the Phoenix Clan.
Someone suppressed my awakening for eighteen years.
And someone doesn't want us to find out why.

The real heiress was never lost. She was hidden.

“I, Summer Evergreen, daughter to alpha Jason Evergreen and luna June Evergreenof the silver moon pack, hereby accept the rej…….."

There was a growl and a hand over her mouth so fast that she squeaked. She looked at him with fear in her eyes. He looked in her eyes, pleding with her.

"Please, Summer, don't. We are begging you”


Alpha Kane broke Summer's heart years ago when he rejected her as his mate and his wolf hurt her physically. Now five years later, she's back to take his rejection. What is going to happen when Kane meets Summer again?

She was the eldest daughter of the Collins family, but fate had her grow up in an orphanage until she finally reached adulthood.

Her biological parents suddenly appeared and claimed they wanted to take her back home. Little did she know that their true intention was for her to take the blame for a hit-and-run accident caused by none other than her twin sister, Stella Collins.

Interestingly enough, both sisters were identical twins with even their DNA being an exact match.

Today is the day she is released from prison.

When she just returned home, she saw her boyfriend and sister having sex on the sofa.

What is even more appalling is that her family has coerced her into marrying a terrible man for the sake of her sister. Nicholas Johnson, is blind and violent personality. There were rumors that he had killed five wives, and the five women were abused by him.

However, in fact, he is the most perfect man she has ever seen, and she was even spoiled by him.

"Baby, from now on, no matter who dares to hurt you, I will make sure they have nowhere to be buried.” he said.

She died once—betrayed, gutted, and discarded like garbage. Now she's back, and revenge is the only thing on her menu.

They took everything from her. Her fiancé handed her to four men while filming the nightmare. Her family signed her organs away before she was even dead. Her sister stole her life, her child, and then watched her rot in a border brothel—five dollars a night.

But fate gave her one chance.

Now she's playing a different game. Not the naïve heiress they remember, but a woman forged in hell—cold, calculating, and dangerously addictive. She'll smile at her enemies while poisoning their wine. She'll crawl into bed with the devil himself if it means burning them all down.

And when the camera lights turn on? They'll finally see the monster they created.

They wanted her dead. Too bad for them—she's already been to hell, and it made her invincible.

In my past life, I died on that operating table, watching my husband personally hand my kidney to another woman.
When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn—back at our engagement party.
He looked at me tenderly and said, "Marry me."
Without showing any emotion, I played the sex tape of him and my sister on the wedding screen.
I said, "I refuse."

“Dear readers, thank you so much for your support. I’ve fully recovered, and updates will resume tomorrow!”

“Kai,” she warned, voice shaky.

He didn’t stop. His fingers slid lower, brushing against her through the thin fabric of her panties. 

 “You’re wet,” he murmured, almost surprised. “Even when you’re pissed at me.”

Mia's life turned upside down when she signed to fake date Kai the undefeated golden boy charismatic, ridiculously handsome, and the face of Apex Motorsports Academy.  

Until a vicious blog post erupts, grainy photos of him leaving an exclusive gay club surface overnight, sparking scandal and costing him multi-million-dollar contracts. Desperate to save his career and silence the rumors, Kai’s management forces him into a fake dating contract with the one person who despises everything he stands for. And the very person who was behind the blog post Mia Thompson.

When Kai threatens to destroy her future, scholarship, and dreams if she refuses, Mia signs the contract out of desperation trading six months of her life for a quarter million dollars and a chance to secure her mother’s future.

Thrown into a series of red carpet appearances, staged kisses, Mia and Kai are forced to play the perfect couple while secretly hating each other. But as explosive arguments turn into heated tension, fake touches ignite real sparks.And the undeniable attraction burning between two people who were never supposed to fall.

At Astoria University, the name Nathaniel Cavill means everything. He’s the heir to an educational empire, a man born with a silver spoon and enough arrogance to fill every lecture hall on campus. But to his grandfather, Nathaniel is just a reckless playboy—and unless he proves he can be "stable," his billion-dollar trust fund stays locked.

Sylvie Belrose is the only thing standing in his way. She’s sharp, relentless, and has been his academic rival since freshman year. She doesn't have a dynasty behind her; she only has her grades and a scholarship she’s worked her life for. She hates everything he stands for, and he lives to see her flustered.

But when a calculated scandal threatens to get Sylvie expelled, her world collapses. That’s when Nathaniel makes his move. He offers her a deal that feels like a pact with the devil:

The Deal: Act as his fake fiancée for six months. The Reward: He gets his fortune; she gets the protection of the Cavill name and keeps her scholarship.

Now, they are forced to share more than just a stage at university galas. Between shared hotel rooms on academic tours and kisses staged for the Board of Directors, the lines are blurring. Sylvie is finding out that Nathaniel’s arrogance is a mask—and Nathaniel is realizing that the girl he’s supposed to hate is the only one he can’t stop thinking about.

They were supposed to be rivals. They were supposed to be faking it. But in a game this dangerous, the first one to fall loses everything.

She has no magic. He has too much. Their fake relationship is the only thing keeping them alive.

Sabrina Pendleton is a Null—born into a powerful witch coven but possessing zero magical ability. Her only weapons are relentless discipline, sports analytics, and the captaincy of Silverlake Prep's basketball team. But when her uncle decrees she'll be forced into an arranged magical marriage on the winter solstice, no amount of strategy can save her.

Until she witnesses Jace Harrington shatter a backboard with hellfire.

Jace is the golden boy of boys' basketball and a secret cambion—half-demon prince of the syndicate controlling the city's underworld. His temper crackles with black flame, and the corporate scouts offering him a multimillion-dollar NIL contract don't believe in demons. They believe in bad investments.

Sabrina offers a transaction: she'll play the wholesome girlfriend to secure his image. In return, dating the town's most famous athlete creates a media shield so bright her coven can't make her disappear. The rules are simple. The feelings are supposed to be fake.

But when they discover their families are conspiring together—a demonic rite and a magical binding set to trigger on the same night, during the televised state championship—their transaction becomes a trap. And if Sabrina can't pull Jace back from the edge, the boy she pretended to love will become the monster that destroys her.

If you'd asked Kenzie Anderson who she'd least want to spend her senior year with, Jace Ryder would have been the easiest answer.

He came back from military school taller, colder, and carrying the kind of reputation that makes people step out of his way. She has enough on her plate already, trying to keep her life together and protect the people who matter most. The last thing she needs is a fake relationship with the boy who seems determined to drive her crazy.

But somewhere between pretending to be in love and learning who Jace really is, Kenzie realizes there's more to him than the arrogant football captain everyone sees. And Jace begins to see the girl behind the bright smile—the one who's been carrying far more than anyone knows.

Falling for each other was never part of the deal. But when old secrets and painful mistakes come back to haunt them, they'll have to decide if what they've found is strong enough to survive the truth.

Sabrina Hart
A privileged woman who was born as an Alpha’s daughter, and a granddaughter of the most notorious mafia boss. She’s beautiful, decisive, and well-respected in their pack. She has everything except love and a husband. Then, she saw Kenneth Mcbride. It was love at first sight but Kenneth despised spoiled-brats. He wanted he could boss around. Knowing this, Sabrina introduced herself as an omega, and pretended to be weak and submissive just to get his attention.

Kenneth Mcbride
He belonged to a conservative and traditional family of wealthy rogues. It was strictly forbidden to bed a woman unless she was the wife. One evening, he was discovered in a compromising position after a woman named Sabrina Hart seduced him into her. He was forced to marry the heroine after compromising her. Because he already had someone he loved, he hated Sabrina very much. He was indifferent to her after the wedding, and he even permitted others to treat her harshly. He only realized his mistake when Sabrina asked for a divorce. Can he win her back?

One blind date. Two reluctant hearts. A fake romance that feels way too real…
Sienna Blake isn’t looking for love—not after her last relationship left her with more scars than memories. But when her meddling mother sets her up on a blind date, she agrees just to keep the peace. What she doesn’t expect is to come face-to-face with Julian Thorne—her arrogant ex’s boss, a ruthless lawyer with a reputation as cold as the suits he wears.

Julian Thorne—high-powered attorney, cold-blooded strategist, and her ex’s dangerously attractive boss. They met once, a year ago, at a company gala. He thought she was a gold digger clinging to her meal ticket. She thought he was an arrogant snob with a god complex.
Now he’s her blind date.
Julian has his reasons for going along with the charade. Sienna might be the key to taking down a betrayal that nearly cost him everything. All he has to do is play nice, get close, and keep his heart out of it.
But the more time they spend pretending, the more real it starts to feel. And when secrets from the past resurface, they’ll have to choose: continue the lie—or risk everything for the truth.

From fake to fate—what if the biggest lie becomes their only truth?

My boyfriend of eight years didn’t just leave me.
He left me for my sister.

And then suddenly, they were getting married. I hate being seen as the weakling, the ugly one. So I did what I could.

I made an offer to Liam Carter —my Highschool Bully when we met in Tuscany.

The last person I ever wanted to owe anything to.

We pretend to date for the summer, to make everyone believe I’ve moved on and in return I help with his PR stunt.

It was supposed to be fake.

No feelings. No strings.

Just a deal between enemies with something to prove.

But the more we pretend, the more the lines blur—and suddenly, the boy who once made my life miserable might be the only one who truly sees me.

And the worst part?

I think I’m starting to fall for him.

I made a deal with Declan Moss at prom and I told myself it was strategy.

He needed a girlfriend. I needed an ex-boyfriend to finally notice I had moved on. Clean terms, mutual exit. I was good at arrangements. I had been making myself useful to people who didn't deserve it for years.

What I was not prepared for was him. Not the version he performs... the armor, the silence, the carefully managed distance. The real one. The one who hands you an essay he never meant for anyone to read and watches your face while you do it. The one carrying a sick sister, two jobs, and a scholarship that stands between his family and a number too big to say out loud. The one who has been holding everything together so long he has forgotten that holding everything is not the same as being okay.

People are trying to destroy him. Quietly. Patiently. From the inside out.

And somewhere between session four and the worst week of his life, I stopped being the girl on his paperwork and became the person he called first.
The arrangement had rules. I had an exit strategy. I was supposed to walk away clean.

Then he said my name in a parking lot like it meant everything he hadn't found the words for yet. And I understood that I had not been performing for weeks.

I had just been... there. Fully. Without the contract.

The fake part ended a long time ago. I am the only one who knows that.

For now.

Nora Rhodes worked for the self-made billionaire tycoon for three years. She had always known him as the controlled and perfect man until one night her world was spun round and tossed beyond her imagination.
Her stoic and controlled boss kisses her.
One drunken kiss and an awkward request later, Nora finds herself thrown into the circus of the King family.
"Be my fiancée."
Gabriel's request felt like what she had been waiting for her entire life, except it was not. He just needed her as a placeholder to escape a remarriage by his father.
However, when they have to stay close together and act like a real couple in front of his ex-wife and family over the holidays, she can't hide the feelings she has harboured for him for three years.
Nora knows to walk away. She knows that at the end, she would be left heartbroken, but she wants to hold on to the smallest glimmer of hope to be with Gabriel. What she doesn't know is that Gabriel remembers her and has been waiting for her – an incident that connects the past, present and future, and they are both under it.
The closer they pretend, the more the lie starts to feel real. Old wounds reopen. Boundaries blur. And the man who has always controlled every breath and every choice starts to lose himself to the one woman who never meant to break him.
So when the air is filled with cheer, joy and love, would they end up in love or share a dangerous kiss under the mistletoe?
A dangerous kiss in a thousand different ways with one MAN!

Three years ago, to save my Clan Lord husband from a hunter's death trap, I forced him to stop at the border.

Instead, his First Embrace, Seraphina, crossed in his place and was burned to ashes.

Shattered by her death, he suffered a breakdown and was diagnosed with Crimson Frenzy.

For three years, I let him wildly drain my source blood, cheating death in underground clinics countless times.

This time, his violent feeding caused a miscarriage and permanently destroyed my ability to conceive.

Yet, while still in agony and desperate to find him a cure, I overheard his secret conversation with the butler.

"My Lord, Seraphina is still alive. Why keep faking this illness? If the Madame finds out and severs the Blood Pact..."

"Sever it? What right does she have? If she hadn't blocked me back then, Seraphina would never have run off with another vampire. She deserves every bit of this suffering!"

I loved Lia Rockefeller for ten years, and it cost me everything.
When she said the cheerleaders were ganging up on her, I charged in and took the punches for her.
When she cried that her stepsister would ruin her at Yale, I tore up my acceptance letter right then and there.
When she held me tight in the middle of the night and whispered, "I'm so lucky to have you"—I thought it meant forever.
Three months later, I overheard her laughing in the locker room—laughing at me.
"Ian's like a lapdog. So easy to play. Now that Yale spot's open, Emmett can go with me instead."
The bullying was staged. The tears were fake. Those intimate embraces? Just tools to control me—to keep me loyal while she slept with her side piece.
She thought I'd still take a punch for her, even with a broken nose.
She thought I'd never wake up.
I'm awake now.
In her stepsister Serena's bed.

“You were never meant for him,” his voice was a dark promise, his fingers tilting my chin up. “You were meant for me.”

Elara spent her entire life as a human outsider in a world ruled by supernatural beings. When she discovers that she is the fated mate of Rael, the ruthless and possessive heir to the supernatural elite, she is thrust into a dangerous world of power, blood, and betrayal. Bound to him by an unbreakable force, she struggles to resist the pull of their connection.
But Rael isn’t the only one who wants her.
There’s another—Kian, a rebel in the shadows, a man who stands against everything Rael represents. Mysterious, defiant, and fiercely protective, he offers her a different kind of freedom. A choice. A love that isn’t bound by fate but by desire.
With war brewing between the supernatural elite and the rebellion, Elara is caught between two powerful men—one who claims her by destiny and one who challenges her to defy it.
But in a world where love can be a weapon, and loyalty is a dangerous game, the real question isn’t who she will choose.
It’s whether she will survive long enough to make that choice.

Elijah is the powerful, centuries-old Head of the High Council of the Vampire Clans, a master of thoughts and emotions. His word is law — yet his power begins to fracture when he encounters a rebellious Dhampir Hunter.

Aurora “Rory” is an outcast, a despised Hunter who lacks elemental power. What no one knows is that her weakness is the secret of her Dhampir blood, which renders her immune to all forms of vampire mind control. It is precisely this ability that draws the dark Ruler to Rory — and exactly this ability that makes her the most dangerous target of both species.

When a fanatical vampire faction attempts to use Rory’s blood to break the ancient peace treaty and ignite a new war, Elijah is forced to forge an alliance with the girl he despises.

While on the run, Rory realizes that the enforced physical closeness to the arrogant, controlling Elijah awakens a dangerous spark within her. Elijah, meanwhile, must deny the truth: that the hunter he wishes to claim is his Mate — his fated partner.

The fate of the world lies in their hands, but hatred and forbidden desire pull them ever deeper into a widening chasm. Elijah must choose: will he save the power of his clan, or will he choose the love that could bring about the downfall of his own kind?

Bound by an ancient law meant to exploit the power of the werewolf born on the night of the golden moon, she is forced into a selection practice she never wanted, to a man whispered about in fear and reverence. He is the Alpha heir;powerful, untouchable, and rumored to be very ruthless. To him, every pack is deceitful other than his. To her, it is a cage.
Thrown into a world of politics, primal instincts, and secrets older than the packs themselves, she quickly learns that the selection is only the beginning of her battle. Because the mate bond doesn’t just tie their lives—it awakens something dangerous. Something hungry.
As enemies close in and betrayals surface, the line between hatred and desire begins to blur. The man she was taught to fear may be the only one who can protect her… and the one most capable of destroying her heart.
In a world ruled by the moon and sealed by blood, love is never gentle, and freedom comes at a deadly price.

I lived as the Smiths’ daughter for seventeen years, only to find out one day that I was never really one of them—a fake heiress from the start. I didn’t hesitate. I cut all ties with the Smith family and returned to the struggling Johnsons. I didn’t even bother to pack—just took my phone and left.
People said I was in for a rough time. After all, I’d never gotten along with the Smith brothers, and now that I’d lost everything, they thought things could only get worse.
But what they didn’t know was this: the world-famous designer is my friend, the legendary doctor is my mentor, and the CEO of a major company is my childhood friend.
As for me, I’m a hit composer, a mysterious sculptor, and a young entrepreneur.
My classmates say I’m neither Ms. Smith nor Ms. Johnson—I belong to myself.
But my childhood friend just laughs and says, “She belongs to me, too.”

What if the boy who broke your heart did it to save your life?
And what if the boy who bullies you has secretly been in love with you for
years?

On her 21st birthday, Kaleena Donovan loses everything. Her best friend
Elijah kicks her out. She ends up living with Raiden, her worst enemy and the
rival hockey captain. He offers a cold deal: pretend to be his girlfriend to get
revenge on Elijah. Desperate and broken, she says yes.

But nothing is what it seems.
Elijah's betrayal is a lie—he pushed her away to protect her.
Raiden isn't using her—he has loved her since the day they met.
And Kaleena herself is the secret heiress to a dangerous fortune, hunted by a
woman who wants her dead.

Now Kaleena has to choose between two men: the one who ran away to
protect her, and the one who ran toward her even when it terrified him.

Fake dating. Enemies to lovers. Hockey romance. And a love triangle built on
secrets that could destroy them all.

“I will pay you ten million dollars to be my husband.”

I slammed my hand on the bar counter, desperate to escape my arranged marriage to the arrogant billionaire, Aiden Knight. The handsome bartender with icy blue eyes didn't laugh. Instead, he smirked, leaned over the counter, and whispered, “Deal.”

I thought I had won. I thought I was marrying a simple, broke man to spite my parents. But I was wrong.

My “poor” husband wears limited-edition watches he claims are dupes, drives a car worth more than my apartment, and kisses me with the possessiveness of a king claiming his queen.

Now, the entire city is whispering that my groom looks suspiciously like the man I refused to marry. What happens when I find out the bartender in my bed is actually the billionaire I’ve been running from?

“…will you take me as your boyfriend?”

In the cutthroat halls of Beacon High, scholarship student Grace Thompson is invisible—until she becomes the target of Regina Michaels, the queen bee who strips her naked in the showers and leaves her humiliated and exposed.

But Jace Hunter, the brooding, untouchable billionaire’s son with ice in his veins and girls at his feet, anonymously drapes his luxurious Pierre fur coat over her stall, Grace’s world tilts.

Suddenly, the same boy whose cold gaze once terrified her is pulling her from the fire—claiming her publicly, defending her fiercely, and then kissing her senseless in front of his furious ex to make her his fake girlfriend.

Now trapped between a vicious bully who wants her destroyed and the dangerously magnetic Jace who sets her heart racing with every brooding look and possessive touch, Grace must navigate a minefield of secrets, lies, and scorching chemistry.

In a world where money talks and poverty is punishable, one fake kiss could ruin her…or become the most intoxicating real thing she’s ever known.

The housekeeper’s daughter just locked me out of my own Bentley.

"Bob, drive," Ella Brooks—the school's untouchable Queen Bee—ordered my chauffeur. She leaned into her boyfriend, Ryan Harrington, shooting me a look of fake pity. "My family already pays her tuition. Charity cases don't get free rides."

A bunch of kids nearby laughed, always eager to kiss up to the fake heiress. Ryan glared at me like I was actual trash. "Maya, if someone puts a roof over your head, show some respect. Know your place."

The tinted windows rolled up. Tires squealed, leaving me choking on exhaust.

I stood on the curb, watching my car speed off. She had hijacked my entire life to play school royalty and snag a wealthy guy, convincing everyone I was the freeloader.

I was so pissed I actually laughed. She mistook my low profile for weakness.

She wanted to play the billionaire's daughter? Fine. Playtime is officially over.

Detective Lauren James has always trusted her instincts, but when she discovers that supernatural beings are manipulating Chicago's justice system, everyone thinks she's lost her mind.
Given one week to prove her "delusions" or face psychiatric evaluation, Lauren turns to the only person who believes her; her partner, Detective Alex Henderson, whose unwavering support feels like a lifeline in her darkest hour.
But as they chase evidence that always slips away at the last moment, Lauren doesn't realize that Alex is who she is investigating, and Alex's ancient bloodline requires a human sacrifice under the full moon to renew his fading powers.
And she's already been chosen.

When I took my last breath, my boyfriend of five years was busy pulling strings to get his new model fling a runway spot.
Nobody knew he used to be a desperate stray I bought out of a dark alley. It started as a three-year contract. I burned millions to pave his way into the fashion elite, handing him top-tier campaigns until he became a global supermodel.
I stayed his dirty little secret so nothing would ruin his shot at "Model of the Year." He swore going public would kill his career, yet he had no problem parading around with young starlets—and letting them humiliate me behind closed doors.
His newest fling even smugly played a recording of him mocking me: "She’s just an ATM for brand deals. How could an uptight, older control freak ever compete with you?"
That was when I finally accepted it: love bought with money is just a transaction.
So, holding my terminal diagnosis, I signed over the last of my assets and quietly bowed out of his glamorous life forever.
I just don't understand one thing: if he was so sick of me, why did he completely lose his mind when he saw my death certificate? Why did he throw away everything he'd built, tearing the world apart to find me like a feral, abandoned dog?

He was the tyrant of the prison, subduing the world's most dangerous inmates single-handedly. He was the shadow ruler of Summit Enterprises Ltd, commanding trillions in wealth, before whom even the governor had to bow. To repay his uncle's kindness, he secretly returned to New York, hoping only to silently protect his last remaining family. What awaited him, however, was the bankruptcy of his family, the humiliation of his cousin, and the mockery of the enemies who once framed him. When a playboy drugged his cousin, when a mafia don pointed a gun at him, when his former lover looked upon him with cold contempt, he simply wiped the blood from his hands. "I granted you peace once. Now, it's your turn to know fear."

"One bite will grant your wildest desire. The second will steal your soul."
Nora Finch wants only one thing: to save the bakery she inherited from her grandmother from bankruptcy. But along with the old bakery, she also inherits one rule that no one is ever allowed to break: never bake Black Velvet Cake.
That rule shatters the moment Prince Aurelius appears at her door. The captivating fae prince offers limitless wealth in exchange for a single slice of the forbidden cake, insisting that only Nora's magic can save his kingdom from destruction.
But before Nora's hands can even touch the batter, the bakery door is violently kicked open. Kael Draven, a cold-blooded dragon knight, swears he will burn the bakery to the ground if Nora dares to bake even a single Black Velvet Cake.
Amidst it all, magical bakers across the city begin disappearing one by one, without a trace, without an explanation.
Nora finds herself caught between two equally dangerous men: a fae prince willing to do anything to obtain her cake, and a hot-tempered dragon knight who secretly watches over her every night.
But the deeper Nora digs into the secret behind the recipe, the more she realizes that Black Velvet Cake is not merely a forbidden dessert.
The cake does not grant wishes.
It slowly consumes its owner, alive.
And the most horrifying secret of all? It turns out to come from Nora's own blood.

I couldn't get my eyes off my window as I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Outside there in the darkness that was gradually going down due to the faint morning light, I continously stared at a thing no word in the English dictionary can explain.
*It was a black wolf with red eyes. So big that I could bet that it was two times bigger than Zane in his wolf form. But that wasn't the scary thing. The scary thing was that, it had a round substance on it's mouth. And since I know that I could see clearly in darkness, I activated my night gaze and discovered that it was the head of another wolf. Not just another wolf, but the kind of wolf Luca said I was... "A WHITE WOLF!"

Lucian goes through a lot of pain and betrayal, he lost the person that guided him through life to the cold hands of death. Will he survive the many temptations to end his life? Find out in this interesting story of Love, hate, betrayal and passion.

"Get on your knees, wolfless freak, or I will break your legs myself." In the brutal hierarchy of the Blue Claw pack, Betty is a biological anomaly—the top warrior who cannot shift, a protector with no beast inside her.
With her twentieth birthday ticking down to midnight, her own parents have consented to her public rejection and permanent exile as a rogue.
She has exactly twenty-four hours of stolen freedom left before she is cast out into the wilderness to be hunted.
But the northern forests don't just hold exile; they hold the Lycans—predatory kings ruling through iron claws, suffocating dominance, and a scent of burnt ozone and raw power.
When Prince Adriel crosses the border, his crushing aura forces every alpha to their knees, yet it only makes the dormant royalty hidden beneath Betty's skin snap awake.
She is the ultimate survivor, but matching the gaze of the Alpha of Alphas is a death sentence in itself.
Desperate to escape her pack's death warrant, Betty entangles herself with the royal court, stumbling into a dangerous loophole: an artificial link forged by a high coven.
This fake bond offers a transactional sanctuary—she gets a shield from her executioners, and the Lycan prince gets a chosen mate to claim before his kingdom. But this substitute union is a beautiful trap; a human or shiftless wolf taking a royal mark risks having the raw power burn her veins from the inside out.
If Betty yields to the intoxicating heat of the prince who bought her safety, the psychological stakes are lethal. When a vengeful Madeline unleashes a silver blade and issues a challenge to the death, Betty's purple-eyed wolf suddenly seizes control and accepts...
