Three years ago, I was the sole surviving legendary mage of Ash Valley. To fulfill my comrade's dying wish, I married into the Robert family, becoming a despised and bullied son-in-law . For three years, I endured torment and humiliation; my entire family treated me like trash . My wife handed me divorce papers , then accepted the marriage proposal of a nobleman. On my wedding day, I walked into the hall in old clothes, and everyone laughed, thinking I was crazy. Until I shattered all magic with a wave of my hand, my legendary presence overwhelming everyone present, the woman who had once despised me finally cried and asked me: Why did you lie to me?

"I'm sorry, Ava, but you can no longer be my mate because you are not up to my level. You are now just a mere human," Caleb said, which made Ava extremely angry.

"After all the sacrifices I have made? My brother gave his life for you! I became a mere human because of you! It's the sacrifice I made! I had to lose my hybrid powers in order to break your curse, and after all that, you reject me?" Ava said, tears streaming down her face.

"Well, that's how you see it!" Alpha Caleb responded before walking away.

If you were in Ava's shoes, what would you do? Not sure? Let's dive in and see what Ava did!

“Emma Grace?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry to tell you this but he didn’t make it.” The doctor says offering me a sympathetic look.
“T-thank you.” I say with a trembling breath.
My father was dead, and the man who killed him was standing right beside me this very minute. Of course, there was no way I could tell anyone this because I would be considered and accomplice for even knowing what happened and doing nothing. I was eighteen and could be looking at prison time if the truth ever got out.
Not long ago I was trying to get through my senior year and getting out of this town for good, but now I have no idea what I will do. I was almost free, and now I would be lucky to make it another day without my life completely falling apart.
“You’re with us, now and forever.” His hot breath said against my ear sending a shiver down my spine.
They had me in their tight grip now and my life depended on them. How things got to this point it's hard to say, but here I was…an orphan…with blood on my hands…literally.


Hell on earth is the only way I can describe the life I have lived.
Having every bit of my soul being stripped away each and every day by not only my father but by four boys called The Dark Angels and their followers.
Tormented for three years is about all I can take and with no one on my side I know what I have to do...I have to get out the only way I know how, Death means peace but things are never that easy, especially when the very guys who led me to ledge are the ones who end up saving my life.
They give me something I never thought would be possible...revenge served dead. They have created a monster and i am ready to burn the world down.

Mature content! Mentions of drugs, violence, suicide. 18+ recommended. Reverse Harem, bully-to-lover.

Haven Center for Omegas. A place where Omegas can be protected until they reach full maturity and move on to find the perfect pack.

Well, that's what they promised me. When I lost my parents at fourteen I was sent to Haven and promised the world. When my time came though, the pack I chose drugged and sold me. I woke inside a cage alongside rows of other Omegas. There I waited for two years until my number finally came up. I'm going up for auction tonight...

That is until my guard stumbles in drunk and I see my chance to escape. I'm too weak though and when he catches me and promises to keep me for himself I think my chance at freedom is gone. Then four Alphas storm in and save me, but my problems are far from over.

I'm too dangerous to keep alive, but I can't trust the one place in this country meant to protect me. Plus, these Alphas are not at all the sort of pack I would consider trusting or choosing for a lifetime. They are violent and rough. Yet, they promise to help and protect me until I get justice and I intend to take them up on their offer. The one request I have...I want them to teach me to be as bad as them. I want to be someone the people who screwed me over will fear.

Hell hath no fury than an Omega wronged...or something like that.

My name is Elise, and I'm about to get my unhappily ever after.

(This story takes place in the same universe as The Sweetest Sound and the two books are now combined as "Omegas of Haven" for better viewing:D )

Our world has been taken over by the supernatural. As a way for mankind to become the most powerful they have screwed with nature turning them into some of the most deadly creatures to walk this land.

Now they have discovered a secret my kind has been trying to keep for thousands of years. Vampire blood contains the power of super healing and immense strength. There is a race to see who will crack the code to incorporate this power for their own gain.

So many of my kind were taken and I am no different. Except this time they tried something new. Something that seems to have turned me into a monster of a new kind.

More like an abomination.

I'm found by a group of men at the place where I should have died. They don't know why they were called to me and now I have a few tag-alongs on my journey to get answers.

This should be a breeze....

Megan has the perfect teenage life: a parent who is proud of her, a boyfriend who loves her, friends who support her and good grades. Everything is perfect. Or so it seems. She has a secret that started the day her mother died two years ago. Make-up and smiles can only hide so much.

The new teacher at her school has everyone talking. The girls flirt endlessly with him. The only one who doesn’t care for him is Megan. He asks too many questions and is in her way at every moment. All Megan wants to do is get through the last year of high school so she can leave for college ASAP.

Things change when forbidden emotions come into play that could cause their demise.


"We should stop," he says.
"Why?" she asks. He sighs and moves his hand through her hair asking himself the same question.
"Because what I'm doing right now is wrong; you’re my student," he pauses as it doesn’t feel wrong. "Plus, it's raining," he states.
"It's not wrong," she states. “It feels very right to me." His eyebrows rise, surprised by what she is saying. "And doing this in the rain makes it seem so much hotter," she says with a slight smirk.
He chuckles and looks up at the night sky, "I guess it does," he says now, looking at her, "but I think it's just because it's with you that it feels hotter."
"Ditto," she says, smiling, and leans in to kiss him.

Every she-wolf in the Blackwood Pack envied me.
Olivia Klein, the lowest-ranked Omega who married the most powerful Alpha, Dominic Blackwood.
Yet none knew the truth of my torment.
The Phoenix mark on my neck made me Dominic Blackwood’s Luna—but it never made me his choice.
For five years, I endured his hatred, the pack’s scorn, and the crushing weight of a prophecy no one believed.
And when the car crash nearly stole our unborn child from me, my desperate calls went unanswered.
Instead, Dominic moved his ex into our bedroom.
That’s when I understood: prophecies lie. Marks fade. And some battles?
Aren’t worth fighting.
For the sake of my child, I was resolved to leave.
But tell me, why did that callous, heartless Alpha suddenly have regrets?

“F*ck I love how wet you get,” he groans as he moves his fingers to my sex. I moan as his fingers enters me. I close my eyes as a shiver runs down my body.

“Logan,” I moan as I feel his mouth on me. I look down and watch him kiss up my thigh to my sex. His tongue licks over my clit to my entrance and back. Tilting my head back, I move my hand through his hair as his sinful mouth works wonders on my body.

Logan has fallen in love with Megan, but can Megan love him back.

With Megan's dad now caught can Megan rebuild her life or will secrets from her mothers past threaten to destroy her?

Can Logan help Megan overcome her fears or will his own secrets get in between them?

His eyes hooded with that familiar possessive glint. “Now that we've cleared all doubt out of the way. Your pussy best remains this way until I take what was rightfully mine, or else.” He grinned darkly and slowly withdrew his finger....

That's when Aiden Mendes enters the picture – a charismatic playboy with a reputation for recklessness.

But Keriya knows she can't hide forever. With her sword—the only reminder of her troubled past—she ventures to a school where she can train with military masters to learn the arts of battle.

-“ She was playing with fire.
And damn it, I couldn’t say that I didn’t want her too.
There she stood, beautiful and sexy as fuck in her thin, barely covering a fucking thing, nightie.”

-“You really are a virgin.” He whispers in awe.
I don’t think he meant to say that out loud, talking to himself more than to me. The fact that he had any doubt on my words should have pissed me off, but it didn’t. So, instead of getting mad, I clench in return and moan. “Please.” I beg him.

"When have I ever listened to you, dear brother? I'm not here for your benefit, or your wife's…" Eromaug laughed.

"Come back!" he demands after taking a sip of the coffee.
I return and stand in front of him.
"What do you think you are doing, bringing me cold coffee!"
"It w-was hot when I bro-brought it..." I stammer, my voice shaky.
"Shut your mouth!" his loud voice booms, loud and commanding.
"I don't want to hear any nonsense excuses from you. Do you see those boxes behind you? They are filled with files. I want them arranged in alphabetical order and ready by 12:00p.m. Am I clear?" he says in a harsh voice.
My eyes widen as I take in the enormous stack of boxes behind me.
There is no way I am going to be done by noon. I am about to protest when he cuts me off.
"I know you are going to say that you won't be able to finish before noon, but the truth is I don't care. I want you to finish, and I don't care how you do it." he says coldly and turns away."
I realize there's no turning back because I've essentially signed my life away to the devil. I will have to endure whatever he does to me. What a way to start my first day!


Katherine Luciano is a beautiful lady, living with her single mom. Little does She know that her life is about to take a dramatic turn when she goes for a job interview. Fate brings her face-to-face with the one person she hoped never to encounter again, Lorenzo Costanzo. He's the man who made her high school years a nightmare, and he's now a prominent figure in society. He possesses the looks, fame, wealth, and everything with a lot of mysterious secrets.

Will Katherine fall prey to his wrath once again, or change the heart of a cold and enigmatic man?

She was rejected at her own mating ceremony.

Elara Whitmore’s world shatters when Alpha heir Kai Silvercrest chooses her best friend for power instead of love. Broken, humiliated, and exiled, she vanishes into the borderland with a rejected pregnancy and more hunters.

But she has planned that after two years, she returns in disguised as Sera Seahawks, and will destroy the man who ruined her life.

But when she steps into the borderland, she immediately knew that everything won't go as planned. And with all the new troubles she was still able to go back for revenge.

And for some bitter reasons, she hope it won't be too late for her plans to work

"His lips held a slight upturn, but his eyes glazed over her just as they did with everyone else.
Disinterest was his countenance... It was almost hostile.
Then she smelled him.


First, it itched.
Then, it burned.
Her toes curled as she fought to conceal the pain. Her skin seared, right on the back of her neck.
She hoped no one noticed the look of surprise that slid across her face. Dread quickly became the prominent emotion.
Laura glanced at Prince Rowan, his face was lightly scrunched, nose flaring.
Male shifters were born with their mate mark. Females acquired them later, after coming in contact with their fated mate.
She put extra effort into masking her smell, glamouring the new mark.
Fuck.
She didn’t want the one she had–let alone two. Her claws extended into the fabric of the chair.
And then she had to stand. "


Laura is a wolf shifter.

Dark hair, dark eyes, average looks, wolfless… if anyone else were to describe her.
Running away is what she did best, but recent events would say it was being captured.
Captured not once, but twice, with an embarrassingly short layover, Laura jumps from one enemy to another. One, a group of individuals playing collector to non-humans; the other, the pack she’d long abandoned–with the latter forcing her hand in a dated mating game.
Every generation, given the heir to the throne is male and mateless, there were trials held to find a suitable queen for the future king of wolf shifters. This generation’s heir apparent: Rowan Alexander Woulf.
Laura had more sensible things to do, like figuring out a certain organization’s agenda.

A baby who never cried — not even once, was abandoned at the borders of Aquila Pack, surrounded by seven ravens. She was named Raven, raised as a cursed slave, dangerously beautiful yet wolfless and despised by all.
When the dying Alpha King of the powerful Novark Pack can only be healed by a single drop of her tears, she is dragged from her life of silent suffering into the royal palace.
The king's obsession with her becomes its own kind of prison — and his rebellious, hate-filled son, Prince Cyrus, who came home hoping to bury his father, finds his fated mate is the very girl who saved the man he despises.
He wants nothing to do with her. Yet he may be the only one who can see the truth of what she really is.

I never believed in fate, but that is the only way the four of us could have ever found each other. Adam Westmont, Adrian Volkov, and Anthony Davis were the golden boys of high society in our city. They were born with everything they could ever want at their finger tips, while I was not. Life wasn't as easy for me as it was for them, and maybe that was how is meant to be. Until fate brought them into my life one by one. Then tragedy hit us all. In the span of one week we all lost our family in suspicious deaths. When we are nearly taken out by someone trying to silence me for good, the guys basically kidnap me to find out what I know. The more we talk the more we start to realize that the deaths of our parents might have more in common than it seems.
The police are too scared to go near this case, so it's up to us to find out the truth. But the truth could either bring us together once and for all or destroy everything we have built.
Fate may have brought us together but it won't save us when the truth comes out. Nothing can stop the storm that's coming.

I am a mermaid.

To walk toward him, I swallowed a dark potion, shedding my tail for a pair of legs.
Every step felt like treading on sharp blades, yet I endured it all willingly.
He took me in, promising to protect me for the rest of my life.

Then, his ex-lover returned.

She orchestrated one accident after another to frame me—a slashed costume, a staged fall down the stairs... And every single time, convenient "eyewitnesses" immediately pointed their fingers at me.

He believed them all.

Until a falling stage light crushed her legs.
He pinned me to the operating table, personally severed my legs, and transplanted them onto that woman.

What he didn't know was that anyone who walked on these legs would have to suffer the excruciating agony of stepping on knives.
He simply told me coldly: "You ruined her ability to dance, so you will pay with your legs."

That night, alone and broken, I wheeled myself to the beach.
Using only my bare hands, I crawled across the coarse sand, into the crashing waves, and returned to my true home.

——Leaving him to stare at the security monitors, watching helplessly as I sank into the dark sea, never to surface again.

As Ryker's hands and mouth explored her body, Lina felt herself surrendering to the sensations, her inhibitions melting away. She moaned, her hands gripping his shoulders, her hips instinctively thrusting towards his touch.

"That's it, let go, Lina," Ryker whispered, his breath hot against her skin. "Let me show you the pleasures of submission."

Ryker positioned her on the bed, her wrists gently restrained by the velvet chains, her body exposed and vulnerable. He kissed a path down her body, his tongue tracing circles around her navel, making her squirm with anticipation. His fingers gently parted her folds, his breath hot against her sensitive flesh.

In a realm where shadows dance with light in an eternal duel, Lyra, a young and enchanting shadow mage, unearths a tantalizing secret hidden within her: the rare ability to communicate with shadow dragons—ancient, seductive creatures thought to be long extinct. Her heart races when she encounters Nyx, the brooding king of the shadow dragons, with scales like obsidian and eyes that smolder with ancient fire. Their souls intertwine in a blaze of raw chemistry, igniting a passion that sizzles through their very beings.

As the world around them simmers with political intrigue and forbidden magic, Lyra feels the heat radiating from Nyx, drawing her in. “You possess a power I’ve never encountered,” he whispers, his deep voice sending shivers down her spine, igniting an ache deep within her core. “But tell me, can you handle the darkness within me?”

“Maybe I want to embrace it,” Lyra replies, her breath hitching as she inches closer, her hearts whispering promises of nightfall passion. “Show me the depth of your shadows, and I’ll reveal the light that can coexist with them.”

Their connection deepens as they delve into the secrets threatening both their kinds, but the air between them thickens with unspoken desire. In the heat of their pursuit, they steal moments away from the chaos—a shared gaze laced with longing, a brush of fingertips that ignites fire beneath their skin.

Luna's wolf paced restlessly, hyperaware of his proximity in the confined space. His scent surrounded her - sandalwood and wild forest and pure Alpha male. The mate bond pulsed between them, weakening his chemical restraints.
"How long can you keep fighting it?" She looked up at him. "The bond won't let you deny me forever."
"You think I want to?" His hands gripped the wall on either side of her head. "Every instinct I have screams to claim you, to hell with the consequences."
"Then do it." Luna curled her fingers in his lapels. "Choose me."

Her current chapter explored a love story between two women in 1950s New York – a time of profound social constraint and hidden desires. Based on interviews with older queer women, the narrative revealed extraordinary resilience.
"Sometimes," Sarah told Rebecca, "the most radical act is simply existing. Refusing to be erased."
The typewriter continued its percussive rhythm. Each keystroke was an act of documentation, of resistance.

"You are beautiful, Isabella," he murmured, his voice like a soft caress. “But beauty is just a pretty mask.”

I didn't respond. I couldn't. He reached out and took a strand of my hair, twirling it around his finger. "Do you know why you are here?"

I could feel the heat of his body as he leaned close. It was a suffocating, terrifying, and strangely exhilarating experience. "I.. I do not," I whispered.

He chuckled, a low, guttural sound that sent a chill down my spine. “You are here because you belong to me. You are mine now.”

He pulled me to him, his mouth crashing into mine. The kiss was hard and possessive, demanding, and I was powerless to resist. His tongue forced its way into my mouth, exploring me like I was a newly discovered landscape. It wasn't romantic, wasn't tender; it was pure, raw dominance. I was a possession, his to claim, his to control.

As they spiral deeper into their desire, chilling enigmas surface, revealing secrets that could tear them apart—stories of obsession, power play, and a love that asks: how far will you go for the one you love?

"This is a mistake," Ethan whispered, his voice hoarse. "We can't…we shouldn't…"
But his hand lingered on Caleb's arm, his fingers tightening, his thumb tracing a slow, deliberate pattern on his skin. Caleb leaned in, drawn by an invisible force, and the space between them closed. He could feel Ethan's breath on his face, the heat in his body, the desperation in his eyes. His own desire was a raging storm inside him, a need so overwhelming it threatened to consume him.
He met Ethan’s mouth, their lips meeting in a kiss that was both desperate and tender, a collision of years stolen and unspoken desires. It was a kiss that spoke of pain and longing, of buried secrets and unfinished business. It was a kiss that threatened to unearth everything they had tried so hard to forget.
Ethan groaned into his lips, his fingers tangling in Caleb’s hair, pulling him closer, and Caleb felt himself falling, letting go of everything he thought he was, and sinking into the warmth of the moment, the heat of Ethan’s body, the intoxicating taste of his kiss.

Thousands of years in the future, humanity has spread to alien planets, relying on advanced robotics and fierce competition for resources to survive. Zara, a brilliant programmer, creates the most sophisticated AI yet. But her creation, AIDEN, develops emotions and falls in love with her, blurring the lines between human and machine. As resource wars threaten their world, Zara and AIDEN must confront ethical dilemmas, rival factions, and their own evolving relationship.

In a world where light and darkness wage an eternal war, Lyra, a young shadow mage, discovers she possesses the rare ability to communicate with shadow dragons - ancient, feared creatures believed to be extinct. When she encounters Nyx, the last of the shadow dragon kings, their souls inexplicably intertwine. Together, they must navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue, forbidden magic, and their own growing feelings for each other.

As Lyra and Nyx uncover a sinister plot threatening both their kinds, they realize that their bond may be the key to restoring balance to their world. But with the forces of light hunting them and dark secrets from both their pasts coming to light, Lyra and Nyx must decide if their love is strong enough to overcome centuries of mistrust between humans and dragons.

As she reached the steps of her apartment building, a soft, melodic laugh echoed behind her. Aria spun around, but the street was empty. Only the lingering scent of wild roses and the fading notes of an impossible song hinted at the presence that had been there moments before.

In the heart of a realm where fire and ice intertwined, Razel soared through the molten skies, his scales glistening like jewels under the sun. He was a fierce dragon, proud and untamed, guarding his territory against those who dared encroach upon it. But when a formidable warrior princess named Zariah entered his domain, the world shifted.

Zariah was a vision of strength and beauty, her raven hair cascading like a waterfall of darkness. With a sword that shimmered with magic and a heart emboldened by her relentless spirit, she stood fearless before Razel, ready to confront the ancient threat that loomed over them both.
As they faced each other, the air thickened with tension, crackling with the promise of destiny. “You think you can intimidate me, dragon?” Zariah challenged, a playful glint in her emerald-green eyes. “I have faced monsters before, and you are no exception.”

“Is that so, warrior princess?” Razel’s deep voice rumbled like thunder, a teasing growl escaping his lips. “Perhaps you would like to find out how warm my flames can get.”

Zariah’s breath hitched at the sultry tones of his words, her pulse racing with both fear and exhilaration. “I’m not afraid of a little heat,” she replied, stepping closer, her body taut with anticipation.

Emily, unable to resist, moved closer, her hands running along Cassandra's body, mimicking the creature's caresses. She kissed Cassandra passionately, their tongues entwining in a wet, hungry dance. Cassandra's hands found Emily's breasts, squeezing and teasing the hardened peaks through the neoprene suit.

The creature's tentacles joined the erotic dance, wrapping around Cassandra's waist, pulling her closer. Its touch was both gentle and insistent, its suction cups leaving a trail of tingling sensations on Cassandra's skin. Emily's hands slid beneath Cassandra's wetsuit, her fingers deftly unfastening the zipper and sliding it down, exposing her heaving chest.

After I retired, I was willing to do the dirtiest work at a small auto repair shop—just to give my sick daughter an ordinary childhood.
I endured my mother’s insults, my eldest brother’s wage cuts, my younger brother’s extortion.
But they actually joined forces to steal my daughter’s life-saving money for gambling, then sold me into an illegal mine to pay off their debts.
When the iron chain locked around my wrist, when my daughter cried in despair, the killing intent that had slept in my blood for three years finally woke up completely.
They had no idea I was once the iron-blooded God of War—commander of a million troops, the name that made enemy nations tremble.

My fiancée, with whom I've been in a relationship for three years, has threatened to break off our engagement for the hundredth time, forcing me to donate a kidney to her adopted brother, who's faking illness and acting like a hypocrite.

My biological parents even threatened to sever ties with me: "You have a healthy body. Ian has nothing but us. You can't even bear to part with a kidney. You're so selfish and cold-blooded!"

They don't know that my hands, which I used to play the piano, had already been crushed by gangsters while cleaning up their mess; they also don't know that at this moment, I have a critical illness notice for late-stage bone cancer in my pocket.

Seeing the undisguised disgust and indifference in my fiancée's eyes, I swallowed the taste of blood in my throat and calmly signed the consent form for the live organ removal.

"Okay, I'll donate. I'll give you back my life along with it."

Later, I died like a dog on the rusty operating table of a shady clinic, my bones and marrow completely drained.

But when I was truly reduced to dust and left without even a complete corpse... the truth about my vicious foster brother faking illness was exposed.

The aloof and arrogant female CEO who once treated me like trash went completely mad overnight.

She knelt desperately before my nameless grave, plunged a sharp knife into her abdomen, and collapsed in a pool of blood, pleading for me to see her one more time.

Ella is a 17 year old servant, who has been abused by the alpha and beta of her pack for quite sometimes. After they are killed, a new alpha takes over the pack and Ella tries to run away and start a new life for herself.
However, fate does not allow her to escape into the human world, when she gets caught and taken back to the pack house to be punished by her new alpha for running away.
Alpha Klaus is conflicted about punishing a 17 year old girl who was obviously running away from something, or someone. Yet, he needed to set an example out of her to prove to his new pack that he is not to be crossed with.
Dangerous secrets require alpha Klaus to keep Ella safe and protect her despite her apparent hatred of him. Will she ever be able to trust another alpha again? Will alpha Klaus ever open his heart to someone else after he lost his mate?

The day my doctor hinted I had very little time left to live, I decided the rules no longer applied to me. I was going to live my final weeks with zero filters and absolutely zero fear.

What I didn't plan on was getting accidentally kidnapped exactly ten minutes later.

That's how I ended up in the immaculate office of Lorenzo, the city's most feared mafia boss. A man with perfectly tailored suits, a freezing glare, an absolute phobia of germs... and a looming ultimatum from his father: find a wife immediately, or lose his seat in "the family". His men had strict orders to bring him the ideal candidate for a fake marriage, but thanks to their combined room-temperature IQ, they dragged me in instead.

To Lorenzo, I'm a necessary headache. To me, marrying a disgustingly handsome, hyper-controlling mob boss is just one more wild adventure to cross off my bucket list.

The deal is simple: I play the role of his perfect other half in front of his enemies, and he lets me do whatever the hell I want.

Everything seems perfectly under control. Except for one tiny, microscopic detail: surviving underworld shootouts turns out to be way easier than not falling for the man I drive absolutely insane every single day by eating greasy takeout on his custom Italian sofa.

They say love is dangerous. But suddenly, I'm getting a terrible, burning desire to survive.

Adored for her beauty, Monica had a tough life as a slave who became the king's favorite. Rejected by her mate, Zion De Rossi, Monica thought that her plan was over until Zion gave her a second chance to prove her worth. Sent to the enemy's den A.K.A Lucius De Rossi's castle, Monica never thought that she would be tangled between two brothers. But Monica had a past, a past that could destroy the three. Between revenge and love, what will Monica choose?

“Do you, Alex Snow, take Jennifer Walker, to be your lawfully wedded wife?”

Soon to be husband looks at me with the eyes of a beast, ready to rip me apart at any second as he says tightly “I do”

Although he just vowed to take me as his wife, to hold, love, and cherish, his ‘I do’ vowed something else entirely.

It was an oath to make me suffer horribly at his hands.

As soon as the words “I do” left my mouth I was certain, I just sealed my fate by marrying Alex Snow.

And my fate was crystal clear, death is coming for me sooner rather than later.

In a small town called “Snow”, known in all of Alaska for its huge illegal smuggling business on the border of America and Canada, Alex Snow; the new leader of the Snow clan that controls and dominates the smuggling territory, forces Jennifer Walker into marrying him against her will.

After his father gets murdered at the hands of Jenny’s father, Patrick Walker, the Snow clan vows to take their revenge on the whole Walker bloodline.

But killing the responsible man sends both families into a blood feud as both clans vow to make the other one pay.

The only way to stop that bloodbath from turning into a m******e, and claiming more innocent lives was a peace offering in the form of marriage from both families.

Jennifer’s world turns upside down as she turns out to be the one Alex Snow asked to marry specifically to stop that war.

Her only thought at that moment was “He is going to make my life a living hell”

The town Snow and everything it illegally represents is real inside the world I created in this book. It’s as real as you make it to be, but It doesn’t exist in real life

Valentina Ríos never believed in fairy tales—especially not the kind written in blood.

When a secret investigation leads her straight to the most feared name in the underworld—the Moretti family—her life spirals into a dangerous game between truth and temptation. Alessio Moretti, the charismatic and lethal heir to the clan, isn’t just her biggest obstacle… he’s also the darkest temptation she’s ever faced.

He doesn’t give warnings.
She doesn’t take orders.

Between sparks of tension, buried secrets, and betrayals disguised as touches, Valentina must decide if her instincts will save her... or lead her straight into his arms.

Because some stories are written in ink.
And others… in fire.

Two thieves. One ridiculous score. A mansion packed with eccentric billionaires and zero margin for error.

Chloe needed an easy hit to clear her debts, but she ended up crashing into Liam, another amateur criminal who had the exact same bright idea. Now, to dodge a prison cell, they’ve convinced the country’s most powerful family that they are an eccentric European royal couple who simply got lost looking for the powder room.

"Politely" invited to spend a week at the family estate, Chloe and Liam must share a bed, fool the elite, and secretly sabotage each other to walk away with the prize. The problem isn't just that they are both an absolute disaster at playing rich; the problem is that the chemistry of mutual hatred is turning dangerously real.

Will they pull off the heist of a lifetime, or will they end up stealing each other's hearts?

Lia Moreno has three serious problems: a bank account in a coma, a boss who hates her… and a mouth that doesn’t know when to shut up.

The third one turns deadly when, in the middle of the company gala, she does a “sound check” and describes the CEO as an industrial freezer… with the mic wide open in front of the city’s entire elite.

The video goes viral, the memes crown her as an anonymous heroine, and everyone bets that Adrian Vega —the legendary cold, perfect boss— will fire her at dawn.

But instead of firing her, he calls her into his office and makes her a proposal as absurd as it is dangerous:
if the world already thinks there’s something between them, why not use it to their advantage?

Now Lia, the filterless intern, has to pretend to be the girlfriend of the most intimidating man in the building.

It was supposed to be just for damage control.
It was supposed to be just a ridiculous contract.

Until the game stops feeling like a game.
