Serenity Davidson has no time for strays. She's too busy running Greensboro's best soul food catering business and keeping her mama happy. But when they find a starving, half-dead man collapsed on their front porch, Serenity does what she does best: she feeds him. He says his name is Kevin. He says he's an unemployed factory worker with "bad asthma." He is lying. He is Lorenzo Moretti, the ruthless Don of the Sicilian Mafia, battered and hiding in plain sight. He intended to heal, exact his revenge, and disappear. But after weeks of Serenity's pot roast, her warm bed, and her bossy attitude, Lorenzo realizes he has a new addiction. He's not just going to take back his empire. He's taking the cook with him.

Betrayed by her own family, Aveline is forced to marry in her sister's place- to the cursed Alpha whose wives all die on the eleventh day. They call Rodrigo Vermont a monster. A tyrant too hideous to face his own reflection. But the moment Aveline finally lifts her eyes to him, she's dumbstruck. He is not disfigured. He is devastatingly handsome. And dangerously irresistible. ... "Look at me." Rodrigo's voice fills the room, deep, hoarse, commanding. Aveline shivers as her gaze locks with his dark, hungry eyes. She tries to look away. He grips her chin, forcing her to hold his stare. "I'm going to do things to you," he drawls. "Things I shouldn't do if I were in my right mind." His jaw tightens. "Get up." She obeys, trembling. Her fingers clutch her nightie, trying to shield herself. "Take it off." His voice drops lower, rougher. Her breath catches-yet she moves. As though pulled by something she cannot fight. Rodrigo watches her rise, eyes trailing over her slowly, hungrily. Aveline trembles, heat curling through her body, an ache she does not understand tightening in her core. "Come here." She steps toward him on unsteady legs. The moment she reaches him, Rodrigo grips her ankle, lifts her leg over him- and before she can even breathe, his mouth finds her. - Everyone expects her to die. But when the twelfth dawn breaks and Aveline steps out alive, the entire pack erupts in chaos. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. Kidnapped as a child and tormented by voices he cannot silence, Alpha Rodrigo Vermont has lived in darkness all his life. No one dares get close-until his unruly new bride sleepwalks into his room before their wedding. Now he doesn't just want her. He craves her. He swears he will protect her from the curse that has destroyed every woman before her. But Aveline will soon learn the truth: To love the cursed Alpha is to gamble with death itself.

Doesn't understand why he's here now, after everything. Maybe he's just another man who wants something. Maybe he'll use her and leave like the rest. And she fears that this time she won't survive it. •All rights reserved. This book is copyrighted by the author and may not be used, reproduced, or distributed without explicit permission.

Chandini has always been the girl people overlook-gentle, traditional, and painfully submissive. Her kindness makes her easy to use, and years of being taken advantage and a hard life have taught her to stay quiet, keep her head down, and never ask for anything. She flinches at raised voices, apologizes even when she's not at fault, and moves through life as softly as possible to avoid being hurt again. When her father dies, she is bound by his final business agreement: marriage to Stefan Vitello. Stefan is everything Chandini was not. A powerful, dominating, self-made architect whose presence is enough to silence a room. He speaks little, commands effortlessly, and expects obedience without having to raise his voice. Around him, Chandini feels smaller than ever-terrified to disappoint, terrified to draw attention, terrified of him. She tends to his home with quiet devotion, follows his clipped instructions without hesitation, and avoids meeting his eyes. Stefan never explains himself, never softens, never reveals what he truly thinks of his fragile, trembling wife. But he watches. He notices every flinch, every whispered apology, every moment she tries to make herself invisible. Hi guys I'm currently working on this and will try to update as frequently as I can!
