1904 Book(s) Related to 5'4 black hair never had her dad there

Five years ago, Lila Hart vanished after one night with a man who never gave his real name.
She rebuilt her life in silence—until his face dominated every screen.
Adrian Blackmoor.
Tech billionaire. Phantom executive. Untouchable.
When Adrian discovers he has a son, he doesn’t demand forgiveness.
He demands access.
Dragged into a world of glass towers, private armies, and legal assassins, Lila realizes Adrian’s empire was built on blood—and his family intends to collect what they believe is theirs.
But Elliot isn’t just a child.
He’s leverage.
A weapon.
An heir.
And the truth about Lila’s disappearance may destroy them all.

Three years ago, I took a bullet for Damon Kingsley. It came within half an inch of my heart.

He looked me in the eyes, his own red, and swore he'd love me for the rest of his life. So I married into this century-old Italian-American Mafia dynasty.

But on our wedding night, the moment he touched me, he convulsed, coughed up blood, and collapsed.

The second time, an old condition flared up and kept him flat on his back for a month.

The third time, he nearly bled out.

Every time after that, the same thing.

The whole family called me a curse. Marked. Bad luck. The kind of woman who brings death to whoever gets close.

The Godmother gave me an ultimatum: get pregnant within a month, or sign the divorce papers and be shipped off to Chicago to marry the devil himself.

I was carrying a fertility tonic to his study, ready to beg him one more time, when I heard voices through the door.

"Mr. Kingsley, please, you gotta stop. Every time you don't wanna go near her, you shoot yourself up with that stuff. You're gonna kill yourself."

Damon was quiet for a long moment. Then, calm and flat: "Aurora is the only woman I love. I'd take the pain any day over touching her."

All this time, while the whole family called me a curse, the one who actually put it on me was the man I almost died for.

Damon Kingsley. After today, we're done. In this life or the next, don't ever cross my path again.

Married to Damien Blackwood for two years, Vera Sinclair has become the most notorious trophy wife in the city. As the legitimate Mrs. Blackwood, she can only watch helplessly as her family's business crumbles, her father faces criminal charges, and no one dares to offer assistance.

Damien looked at her with cold indifference: "Vera, if I don't say a word, do you think there is anyone in this town who would dare to help you?"

Everyone watches her crash into walls everywhere she turns, bloodied and broken, her eyes growing colder with each rejection. When her heart began to freeze after experiencing all of this, fate gave her a way out of the darkness.

At their first meeting, she lights a cigarette for him with steady hands. At their parties, he asks with a knowing smile, "Tell me, Miss Sinclair, how much are you planning to spend on me?"

Caspian Vale—a distinguished heir, cold and noble, who has never made a single mistake. Everyone in the city speaks his name with admiration and respect.

That morning, when Vera leaves Caspian's hotel and gets photographed by the paparazzi, the entire city erupts in scandal. The city's untouchable golden boy has actually taken his rival's wife!

Everyone says Vera is skilled at seducing powerful men, but Caspian's response silences them all with just four words— "I made the first move."

Under the city lights, in the embrace of falling snow, from the very beginning, it was he who took the initiative.

On the night we celebrated my acceptance to MIT, my boyfriend's female best friend crashed her car while driving drunk.

My boyfriend grabbed my hand to stop me from calling the cops. "Just say you were behind the wheel," he pleaded, dropping his voice. "Take the fall for her."

It was like this every single time.

Because I was independent and strong, I was the one who had to be sacrificed. I was always expected to step aside for the "fragile" girl.

Watching him frantically protect someone else, I suddenly realized how utterly pointless our eighteen years together had been.

I dialed 911 without hesitation, pulled off our matching ring, and walked away.

He thought I was just throwing a tantrum. He was dead certain that after a night's sleep, I’d wake up and make excuses for everyone, just like I always did.

That is, until he pushed open the door to our apartment and found that my half of the belongings—along with me—had completely vanished from his world.

“Does Mr. Howard Have an STD?”
With one sentence, Sienna tore apart her marriage to Ethan.
For three years of their secret marriage, she was his obedient wife, his silent assistant, and the woman he always overlooked.
Until she discovered that every business trip he took was spent living with his adopted sister.
While he was hospitalized after a car accident, she slipped divorce papers into his documents and tricked him into signing them.
She quit her job, moved out, and inherited a massive fortune.
The whole city mocked her, saying she was nothing without Ethan.
But she turned around and climbed back to the top of the industry, standing beside a man even more powerful than him.
Only then did Ethan realize what he had lost, kneeling before her and begging for another chance.
She leaned down slightly and smiled.
“Mr. Howard, when you cheated on me… did you ever think I could choose someone else too?”

She doesn't want a mate, all she wants is to live her life on her own terms. What will happen when she is mated to not one, or two, but three powerful male. A vampire King, An Alpha and a Demon Prince.

Will she be able to accept the three of them? Or will she chose one?

What is the reason behind the three mates?

Three years after her wedding day, Vanessa remains a virgin. Her sickly, cruel husband, the Duke of Tarrick demands she produces an heir with a man of his choosing.
Vanessa’s choices are narrowing every day. To refuse leaves her penniless and alone for when the cruel Duke dies his estate passes elsewhere.
To submit would see her honor surrendered to the new stablehand Fitz. His sparkling green eyes might match her husband, but his cocky, arrogant attitude riles her. He sees no value in her titles and riches, seeking only to enjoy life’s opportunities. Including sleeping with a famously beautiful Duchess.
The added risk of snooping on servants and family scandal suggests Vanessa should stick to her husband's strict rules and simply endure what has been arranged.
But what if giving away her honor to such a casual rogue is the spark that makes her bland world finally explode into life?

"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.

As per her adopted parents’ wishes, Annalise was forced to marry her adoptive step-brother and spend the rest of her life with this oh-so-gorgeous husband. If you think about it, there isn’t much of a problem. Her adopted parents are nice people, and she had a good life even after her parents died.

I pinch myself in hope that I am dreaming, that I am not actually laying n*ked beside the god of Edlin, in his regal bed!

I, a lowly servant of the Princess he is about to marry, I shouldn't be here. The punishment for my reckless actions will be death!

A soft groan leaves his luscious lips before his eyes open, clear of drunkenness.

"Who are you?" he questions.


A night with a drunken god leaves Taya with a burden that was never meant for a human to carry.

Emperor Namon of Havenswood is thought to be a god because of his formidable powers and the dragons that guard his palace. After a contest of the most beautiful princesses to be chosen as his Queen, Taya had escorted her mistress to the great palace, but on the night before the ceremony, she stumbles into the insanely gorgeous god, drunk with the Kingdom's finest wines and shirtless.

His seduction is irresistible, even for a servant who doesn't want to risk death. Taya ends up in his bed, but the next day brings in the shock, especially to Emporer Namon. He slept with a human servant. She is his mate, but nothing could disgrace his name more than such a shameful bond.

He angrily forbids Taya of ever speaking of the intimacy they shared and goes ahead to marry her royal mistress.

Weeks later, that forbidden night bears the ultimate consequence. Taya is pregnant with the Emperor's bastard child.

How long can she hide the child at a time when the survival of Namon's Kingdom depends on him having an heir and his chosen wife has turned out to be barren?

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” he asked finally.

“What I should have done a long time ago,” I replied, not turning around. “Leaving you.” My hand closed around the door handle.

“Not with my child.”


Married off to him to settle a debt that was never mine, I was nothing more than a contract… a means to an end.

An heir.

That was all Adrian Blackwood ever wanted from me.

Not my love. Not my heart. Not me. But still… I gave it to him anyway.

Year after year, I loved a man who never once looked at me the way I looked at him. And when my time was up, when the contract ended and no child tied me to him, I walked away.

Until fate played its cruel joke.

Because just when I finally left him behind, I found out I was carrying his child.

Now the man who never wanted me… refuses to let me go.

Immyria is a princess on a mission. Does she have what it takes to travel worlds and save her kingdom?

Synopsis:
Camilla was only 19years old when she discovered she was pregnant. It was a one night stand. She knew neither his name nor his background. All she knew was his face.
Three years later,she returned to the city to start anew. She got a job at Frostbite company only to discover that the CEO, Kelvin, was the face of a man she knew. He was the father of her baby. Just as she thought she knew the father, unexpected events make her question the paternity of her child. She must navigate through it all to find out the father. Will she be strong till the end?

Leather straps line the wall. Hooks. Chains. A St. Andrew’s cross. There’s a goddamn sex swing in the corner sitting above a bed. A glass case holds more toys than a fetish convention. I smirk.
“Well, this is interesting,” I say, pretending I’m not already dripping wet at the sight of the spreader bars alone.
I turn to Adrian. He’s standing silently, watching me like I’m prey and predator all in one.


Selene never meant to fall into their world—
but three dominant men claim her body, her heart, and her limits.

Adrian, the controlled and quietly intense businessman, touches her soul.
John, bold, possessive, and wickedly charming, challenges her fire.
Kostas, dark, magnetic, and impossibly devoted, unravels every defense she has left.

Together, they pull Selene into a world filled with passion, pleasure, jealousy, and emotional depth she never imagined possible.

The night before our engagement party, my fiancé gifted me a million-dollar yacht—with another woman's name carved on the hull.

Not mine. "Serena"—his first love, the one who got away.

Five years of patience. Five years of sacrifice. And this is what I get?

"Stop overreacting," Austin said without a hint of shame. "She's severely depressed. I'm just trying to comfort her."

Comfort her? What about me?

When Serena tried on what should've been my wedding dress, when Austin demanded I "be the bigger person" yet again—I finally snapped.

I threw the engagement ring. It cracked against his face.

Austin's hand shot up in fury.

The door exploded open.

Julian Cross—New York's most dangerous billionaire—stepped inside, his presence filling the room like a storm.

"You dare lay a hand on my woman?"

"Say it again," His hand travelled down to my belly, deliberate and sinful, threatening to touch places he shouldn't. "Tell me you still hate me."

"I hate you," my voice turned out weak, drowning by the desire that only him can give. "After tonight, I'll drag you to hell with me."

A sexy chuckle escaped from him as his tongue ran through my jaw. "Hell will be heaven as long as I'm with you."

Maeve Bloodmoon’s life was perfect—until a brutal purge under the Alpha King’s order turned her life upside down. With her family and whole pack dead by the hands of the man she trusted the most-—the King’s son—Maeve’s heart was crushed into pieces until it was nothing but speck of dust.

Years later, she returned. With a heart as hard as steel and a mind filled with revenge, Maeve infiltrated the palace. Hidden under a false name and an armor of a knight, she swore that every sword she yields will bring her to her goal: to avenge her pack, destroy everyone who ruined her bloodline, and usurp the throne.

But fate is never merciful. With her old lover and traitor being the high commander she needs to bow to, Maeve needs to make sure her mask won’t crack. Not when the strong bond that connects him to her refuses to die and threatens to shatter everything she has built.

Tessa gave up everything for her husband—her career, her family, her dignity—only to be discarded when his past walked back into his life.
Broken, she signs the divorce papers and leaves.

Years later, she returns as a woman the world kneels before and Smith realizes too late that the wife he broke has become the reckoning he cannot escape.

She's back powerful, untouchable, and unforgiving.

This time, she isn’t asking for love.
She’s collecting debts.

My daughter begged me, tears in her eyes, to take her to gymnastics camp—just the two of us.

I thought it was her way of proving she loved me.

I was wrong.

In that hotel room in Toronto, I overheard my husband's voice—with another woman.

“Don't worry, Sophia will find a way to stay a few more days. I promised her that blue limited-edition leotard.”

“Her body now… after giving birth, it's ruined.”

In that moment, my world collapsed.

I thought I'd only been betrayed by my husband.
But the daughter I raised with everything I had—she was his accomplice.

The child I nurtured with my own hands kept clearing the path: so that woman could sleep in my bed, wear the lingerie I could no longer fit into, sneer in front of the mirror at every single mark my body earned from bringing life into this world.

I once believed that giving up my career would be enough to hold my family together.

But they joined hands to tell me: my sacrifice was never honored. It was a joke.

When a woman who has given everything to her family finally wakes up—

Her revenge will make every single one of them remember exactly what they did.

"Kiss it for me, sister…"
I had no idea the milk I drank every night was handmade by my foster brother, Luciano.
After I turned down his confession yet again, I stared at the milk he’d brought me so eagerly and knocked it to the floor in disgust.
The boy who’d always been quiet and obedient suddenly snapped.
He pinned me flat to the ground, his face inches from mine, his breath brushing my ear:"I get it. You want to drink fresher milk, don’t you?"
I never imagined the boy I’d raised all these years could spiral this far out of control with his twisted feelings for me.
So the very next day, I put him behind bars with my own two hands, determined to put an end to this messed-up obsession for good.

“Don’t worry. She can’t see a thing.”

The familiar male voice came from behind the half-open door.

“So she wouldn’t know even if I kissed you right now?”

A woman laughed softly and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Only a few steps away, Rosalie watched the man she had loved for years lower his head and kiss another woman.

What they didn’t know was that her sight had returned.

The betrayal wasn’t even the cruelest part. When Rosalie checked their records, she discovered that the marriage she believed was real had never been legally registered. The man who had promised to protect her forever had used her blindness to cheat right in front of her—and now he planned to marry another woman and steal everything that should have belonged to Rosalie.

If he could give her a fake marriage, she could come back with a real husband.

So Rosalie married Cassian Thackeray.

The moment they signed the papers, she recognized him.

He was the firefighter who had once carried her out of a burning building—the mysterious man she had been searching for ever since.

But Rosalie said nothing.

Cassian believed he had married a fallen heiress who simply needed a legal husband. Rosalie believed he was nothing more than a dangerous, emotionally untouchable fire chief.

Their rules were simple: separate bedrooms, separate lives, and absolutely no falling in love.

But Cassian was always there when someone tried to humiliate her, his arm locking possessively around her waist.

“I’m her husband,” he warned. “Who gave you permission to touch her?”

And when Rosalie treated his injuries late at night, her fingers traced the hard planes of his bare, heated chest. It was supposed to be medical. Nothing more.

Until he trapped her between his arms, their mouths barely an inch apart.

“Your hands are shaking,” he murmured.

“It’s a professional response.”

“Is that so?” His palm slowly closed around the back of her neck, his voice dropping lower. “Then why is your heart beating so fast?”

Again and again, they tested the boundaries. Again and again, they almost kissed—only to stop at the final inch.

Then Cassian came home before dawn, smelling of smoke and cold rain, and found the lamp she had left burning and the milk she had kept warm for him.

“You waited for me all night.”

“I forgot to turn off the light.”

Cassian stared at her, his thumb pressed against the frantic pulse in her wrist.

“Rosalie, your body is much more honest than your mouth.”

She was beginning to forget that their marriage was only a contract. She was beginning to forget that she had married him merely to reclaim everything stolen from her.

But then Cassian’s signature appeared on confidential corporate documents.

And Lucian Thackeray—the mysterious billionaire heir who never showed his face in public—had the same unforgettable gray-blue eyes as her husband.

As Rosalie begins digging into the man sleeping just one room away, she realizes Cassian has never told her who he truly is.

And their marriage may never have been an accident.

I thought our secret marriage was perfect, until I discovered my husband spent hundreds of thousands to buy another woman the jewelry I had longed for. In that moment, my heart shattered.
To help my husband's company go public, we chose to keep our marriage secret. I thought this was a perfect partnership—until that video appeared.
In the video, a familiar pair of hands placed the jewelry I had yearned for on a woman, and the owner of those hands was my husband, Zhou Chen.
When I tested him, he lied. When I pressed further, he said it was for publicity. But when I saw him tenderly caring for another woman, when I saw her sitting in the passenger seat that should have been mine, I began to wonder if I had been deceiving myself all along.
Perhaps the person my husband truly loves was never me. Perhaps he chose this secret marriage with me only because it would be more convenient when he wanted to get rid of me...
When the truth was completely revealed on that snowy night, when I heard that woman confess to my husband, I finally understood—I had been the most ridiculous clown in this game all along.
What's even more ironic is that I'm carrying my husband's child in my womb, and this secret is one I never want to tell him anymore.
Once some lies are exposed, there's no going back.
Let it all end...

Eilidh MacLeod thought she had escaped. Seven years after walking away from a cold marriage and a ruthless man, she has built a life of quiet stability with her son, Finlay.
But ghosts don’t stay buried forever. When Ruaridh MacKinnon—her powerful ex-husband—suddenly steps back into her world, her worst nightmare comes true. As the new owner of her company, he is now in control of her professional fate. And if he looks too closely, he may uncover the one secret she swore to protect.

I'm the mafia heir's practice girlfriend.
He uses me to learn how to control his temper, how to kiss, how to make love.
All so he won't freak out his true love after they get married.
His guys worry: "Boss, you're not actually catching feelings for the maid's daughter, are you?"
Michael laughs coldly: "Would you fall for a sex toy?"
Everyone thinks I'm pathetic, but I keep smiling while I hand him knives and light his cigarettes.
Until news breaks that he's engaged.
His mom slaps down a hundred-million-dollar check: "Get away from Michael. Disappear forever."
I take the money like a good girl and vanish.
But that night, I hear Michael tried to kill himself and got rushed to the ER.

The first day of school…actual school, and the jitters were kicking her tail. Though not in the literal sense.
For thirteen years, she’d been homeschooled at the behest of her mother. And now, after all of this time not being permitted around kids her age, unless she was serving them at her mother’s Inn and diner or the packhouse, she had to attend school with them; her...the outcast of Mystic Cove.
Taking deep breaths, Nel obsessively looked into the mirror, the girl’s nerves practically destroying her from the inside out. Though, it wasn’t like she wasn’t known throughout town anyway. Her rich brown skin, exuberant red hair, and verdant eyes made sure of that.


“Are you ready for your Ascension?”
The Ascension was what the wolves would call the ceremony of a young alpha coming, officially, into his own. It was usually carried out on one’s eighteenth birthday, and on this day, an inhuman and their beastly counterpart will officially become one soul. It is then that their senses are heightened and only grow from that point. It’s also on this day that one is awakened to their true mate’s scent. It was often that an ascent would find their mate on this day.
Colsin shrugged. “A little nervous, if I’m being honest. Slim pickings in our pack.”
“I want Sara to be my mate,” said Colsin. In truth, Colsin could almost say that he loved Sara, but he knew that it wasn’t a deep-down type of love. If she was in trouble, he’d do his best to get her out of it, but he couldn’t say that he’d move mountains to make sure that Sara was the priority, however.

But will Sara really become Colsin's mate? How will everything change when he meets Nel?

Ever wake up in a hospital bed, memories of your sister's betrayal flooding back? That was me, Victoria Scott, realizing my life was a twisted game.
I was the cherished daughter until Ella, the real heiress, returned. The supposedly innocent sister had nearly ended me. But this time, I've got a second chance.
Reborn, I refused to stick around. I heard my real parents were poor, but I didn't care—I was ready to support them. Then a billionaire claimed I was his daughter...

At Silvercrest Pack's Full Moon Festival, a firework exploded, sending burning debris into the crowd.

My boyfriend of three years, Alpha Adrian, rushed to protect Clara, the orphaned Omega I'd personally brought into our pack.

A metal fragment sliced open my arm, but Adrian didn't even ask if I was hurt.

Later that night, my car broke down near the Rogue-infested border during a thunderstorm. Bleeding and terrified, I tried to link him.

You're a strong wolf, Leah. Clara is an Omega. She needs me more.

Then he blocked me.

Three years ago, Adrian promised to make me his Luna.

For three years, I'd worked tirelessly to learn everything a Luna should know, counting down the days until he finally fulfilled that promise.

But that night, I was done waiting for a future he no longer seemed willing to give me.

“If Mr. M wants a perfect little fiancée, he can marry someone else.”

I said that before cutting my hair, binding my chest, and enrolling at Kingston Academy for Boys under a fake identity.

My plan was simple: find my mysterious fiancé, ruin his reputation, and make him call off our engagement.

Instead, I was assigned to a Student Villa with three boys I should have avoided at all costs.

Derek Sterling is Kingston’s top student—cold, brilliant, and terrifyingly observant.

Vaughn Sterling runs the disciplinary committee and seems to enjoy finding new ways to make me nervous.

And Ellis, another scholarship student, watches me with a quiet intensity I can’t quite understand.

Living with three wealthy heirs while pretending to be a boy would already be dangerous enough.

But then Derek starts tutoring me after midnight.

Vaughn begins testing boundaries he shouldn’t even know exist.

And the way Ellis looks at me is starting to make me nervous.

Then one day, someone leaves a note outside my door.

It contains only one sentence:

“Stop looking for me.”

“You’re already closer to me than you think.”

I have no idea who left the note.

And I have no idea…

how many people in this villa already know who I really am.

My boyfriend, Ethan Whitmore, has prosopagnosia. He can't remember faces unless he's looking right at them.
At our wedding send-off dinner, my roommate blindfolded him and challenged him to name three things about the woman he'd loved for four years.
"Big eyes. Small face," he said.
My heart nearly burst with happiness.
Even blindfolded, he still remembered me.
Then he smiled and added, "And there's a little mark behind her right ear. Cute."
My heart stopped.
Because I don't have a mark behind my ear.
The girl who does is Vivian Blake, the one who's been in his life for only eight months.
Four years of love, and he still couldn't remember me.
But eight months with her, and he knew every little detail.
I looked down at the promise ring spinning loosely around my finger, the tiny cartoon cat stamped into the band.
Ill-fitting. Thoughtless. Just like Ethan's love for me.
So I decided I would stop trying to leave a mark on a man who had never truly seen me.

Chloe was ready to end her marriage. All she wanted was one wild night before walking away. But when her soon-to-be ex-husband's best friend, Scott, made her an offer she couldn't refuse, she did something reckless.
What began as revenge soon became a dangerous secret. Behind closed doors, they couldn't keep their hands off each other. In public, they pretended to be strangers.
But Scott was done hiding.
When her ex demanded answers, Scott pulled Chloe into his arms and declared, "She's your ex-wife, man. But she's also the woman I love."
She was supposed to be just one night. So why couldn't he let her go?

Their relationship was a mistake from the start. She loves him, but he loves another. When they tied the knot, they had to untie it because before she could say "I do," their marriage was doomed. Will they be able to heal after all the hurt or is it the end for their love?

I used to believe Lawrence Ashcroft must love me.

He was the football captain, the golden boy everyone adored, and he chose me—the girl who spent her life chasing perfection on the ice. But love shouldn’t feel like waiting outside a rink in the cold, refreshing my phone, wondering why he forgot me again.

Seven times.

Each excuse sounded softer than the last. Florence needed help. Florence was sick. Florence had no one else. And somehow, I was always supposed to understand.

Then I met Gavin Ashcroft.

Lawrence’s older brother was nothing like him. Gavin was cold, blunt, and intimidating. The first night I met him, he criticized me for being late. I thought he hated me. But when Lawrence abandoned me at the Ashcroft mansion, Gavin was the one who worried about my safety. When I got hurt, Gavin noticed. When I competed, Gavin came. When I tried to be strong, Gavin saw the pain I hid.

Now Lawrence says he wants to change. He waits outside my dorm, brings me medicine, asks for another chance.

But the more he reaches for me, the more I realize something terrifying:

My heart no longer races for the boy I once loved.

It races for his brother.

For three years, I loved a man who never let me all the way into his world. I knew the Cavalieri name carried weight in Chicago. I knew there were calls I wasn’t allowed to hear and dinners I was never invited to. I didn’t know how dangerous that world really was.
I thought the night he knelt with a ring would be our beginning.
He was supposed to say my name.
Instead, he said hers.
Serafina.
Right there, under the lights, in front of two mafia families. And when the crowd cheered, he didn’t correct himself. He slid my ring onto her finger.
I didn’t scream. I didn’t beg. I walked away.
I left Chicago and rebuilt my life in Dublin, a life that belonged only to me.
But he found me. He crossed an ocean with a new ring in his hand and my name engraved inside, desperate to take back what he said that night.
I waited three years for him to see me.
Now he finally does.
And I’m the one closing the door.

"Don't ask me too many questions." His expression became sharp. "Would you rather stay here and get punished or come with me?" He asked, training a hard look on me.
After weighing my options, I knew that I had no choice but to leave with him.
"I don't want to stay here, but I can't leave without getting answers." 
Sean sighed, dragging a hand through his blonde hair. "Fine." He responded reluctantly.
"What do you want to know?"  I had a lot of questions. 
Zoey's life is turned upside down when she's falsely accused of murder and abandoned by her mate.  Saved by a handsome Lycan king, she's drawn into a world of secrets and lies. 
But as she falls for him, she discovers a shocking truth that changes everything.

On the day of the academy application deadline, my entire family was busy choosing a school for my twin sister, Ivy. Even Adrian, the man who'd promised to make me his Luna, only cared about her.

In my last life, I followed them to Moonvale Academy. Four years later, Adrian proposed to Ivy in front of everyone. My family applauded. That night, I died alone.

This time, I secretly chose Frostland Academy, three thousand miles away, and signed a five-year pack transfer contract.

They thought I'd always come running whenever Ivy needed me.

But once I crossed Blood Moon's border, every bond tying me to my family would be severed.

They'd spent eighteen years choosing Ivy over me.

Soon, they'd never have to choose again.

Damien Shaw survived three years in the frozen hell of Antarctica, until he received a phone call.

"Is that you, Daddy..."

His daughter was strapped to a cold operating table, waiting to have her organs harvested.

His wife Sophia was stripped naked and put up for sale at an auction.

Enraged, Damien descended upon San Francisco with countless elite assassins.

He vowed to make everyone who had humiliated his wife and daughter regret ever being born into this world!

"He's not just your son, Olivia—he's the heir to a power greater than any of us. If you run, you’re putting a target on his back—and yours!"

Olivia Sinclair's voice broke as she stepped back, cradling her son. "Stay away from us, Ethan. You’ve lied to me before. How can I trust you now?"

Ethan Cross, billionaire Alpha and the father of her child, met her gaze, his golden eyes filled with unrelenting determination. "Because the moment they find out about him, they’ll tear this world apart to claim him. And I won’t let that happen."

In Silverhaven, secrets are currency, and Olivia has the most valuable one of all: her son Leo, the unacknowledged heir of the Lunar Legacy Pack. For years, she’s stayed hidden, raising him alone. But when Leo’s powers begin to surface, their fragile life shatters.

Ethan, ruthless and enigmatic, storms back into her life, bringing a whirlwind of danger and deception. As rival packs and bloodthirsty rogues close in, Olivia is thrust into a world of dark alliances, forbidden prophecies, and a deadly war for dominance.

But Ethan isn’t the only one with secrets. Olivia’s past holds a truth that could change everything—a legacy that ties her fate to the very prophecy threatening their survival.

“Run all you want, Olivia,” Ethan growls, his voice low and dangerous. “But if you leave, you won’t just lose me. You’ll lose him.”

Before she can respond, the windows shatter. Shadows spill into the room, and an inhuman snarl echoes in the air.

The hunt has begun. And this time, no one will escape unscathed.

Seventeen-year-old Aurora is a ghost at the prestigious Sterling Spire Academy. As a low-tier light witch on a cleaning scholarship, her only goal is to survive the cruel elite mean girls, graduate, and keep her greatest secret safe: her magic isn’t weak it’s a banned, ancient cosmic power that could get her executed.But a single slip-up changes everything.When Caspian Vance the school’s ruthless, shadow-wielding Student Council President and heir to the dark throne catches her using her forbidden magic, Aurora expects to be turned in.

If Aurora plays the part of his doting, fragile girl and moves into his elite private penthouse, he will protect her secret. If she refuses, he will expose her.Now, Aurora is thrust into a glamorous, lethal world of pureblood politics, dangerous secrets, and a fake relationship with a boy who despises her. But as Caspian's touch begins to spark a wild, addictive reaction in her magic, the lines between hate and desire blur. In a school built on lies, the most dangerous thing isn't the dark elite it’s falling for the prince who owns her.

"Why do you need money this badly?"

Lorenzo gripped my chin, his gaze arrogant and dangerous.

"For money, are you really willing to do anything?"

I bit my lip and didn't answer.

Because if my two daughters couldn't survive, self-respect was worthless.

——

My name is Scarlett O'Brien.

To pay for my twin daughters' heart surgery, I signed a humiliating contract and sold myself to the most dangerous man in New York.

Lorenzo Vittori.

Young, handsome, arrogant, and the most feared heir to a mafia family.

He was cruel and sharp-tongued, humiliating me until I had nothing left, yet time and again he reached out his hand when I had nowhere else to turn.

And I told myself there was only a transaction between us.

As soon as I saved enough for the surgery, I would take my daughters and leave his world completely.

But I gradually discovered that this cold-blooded and vicious man seemed to hide even more scars than I did.

When the contract was about to end, true feelings began to spiral out of control.

I didn't know whether what awaited me would be redemption...

or a mafia storm destructive enough to destroy everything.

I was his adopted daughter, yet I crawled into his bed.

"A woman delivering herself to my door... guess what a normal man would do?"

The legendary cold-faced Marcus pinned her naked body down, leaving traces of their intimacy all over the villa.

After the pleasure, the man humiliated her in every way possible. "Get out. Get rid of the baby."

Later, Emma vanished completely.

Marcus didn't believe that the woman who loved him to the bone would actually leave him.

Until he saw his pregnant adopted daughter with his own eyes, holding another man's arm, appearing right in front of him...

She wanted the monster. She became his legacy.

Seraphina Vance doesn't know what fear is. Abandoned by her globetrotting model mother in a sprawling, empty mansion, Sera grew up craving chaos. When she sets her sights on Dante Moretti, the ruthless, blood-soaked king of Ravencrest Academy and the underground Moretti Syndicate, she doesn't run from his threats. She leans into them.

Dante tries to push her away, knowing his world is a death sentence. But when a rival syndicate strikes, Sera doesn't cower; she drives a scalpel through an enemy's hand and seals her fate in blood and smoke.

From high school enemies to a toxic, all-consuming dark romance, they rule the underground side-by-side. Until the night the king falls.

Betrayed from within, Dante takes three bullets to protect her, dying in her arms and leaving her the sole heir to a bleeding empire. Alone, pregnant, and hunted, Sera rules with iron cruelty until federal raids tear her away from her two-year-old son, leaving him in the care of her trusted friend, Julia.

Years later, Sera walks out of a maximum-security prison with a frozen heart and one mission: vengeance.

Only to discover that Julia has vanished, stealing her child, wiping her identity, and raising Damian to believe she is his mother.

Now, Sera must hunt down her betrayer across continents, battle a rebellious teenage son who mirrors his dead father's dangerous defiance, and race against a terminal cancer diagnosis to claim her bloodline before time runs out.

In the world of the Moretti Syndicate, love is a weapon, betrayal is a death sentence, and darkness is a birthright.
