To save her father, Ceryn reveals she's the only fertile maiden in the kingdom and offers the king an heir. Being only a peasant, her audacious claims instantly capture the king's attention and the kingdom's wrath. *** Ceryn's quiet life shatters when her father is sentenced to death. Desperate to save him, she sneaks into the palace and exposes a secret she planned on taking to the grave: She's the only fertile maiden in the land, capable of bearing the king's heir. With war looming, King Varkon already has enough on his plate. A calculating, level-headed ruler, he knows reckless moves could threaten his throne. Yet something about the peasant girl ignites his blood and makes him risk it all by claiming her. Their bloodlines are oil and water: a powerful king with an ancient ancestry, and a peasant with secrets that could ruin the kingdom. Their union exists only to produce an heir. Romance was never part of the bargain, yet every stolen glance and heated touch forces them to tread a razor's edge of duty and temptation. Their attraction threatens to shatter the kingdom's fragile balance. And with enemies circling and betrayal whispering through every hall, their union could either forge a new dynasty - or doom the realm forever. *** "My entire body tingles with the maddening need to pleasure and protect her. I am a king for Kryndor. But for her? I am a beast. There are no politics, bureaucracy, or rules when it comes to her. Only primal instinct."

Victoria Athena Johnson has spent her entire life hiding in plain sight. The Beta's little sister-strong-willed, sharp-tongued, and fiercely independent. But what no one knows is that she's not just another wolf in the pack. She's something more. Something ancient. Something powerful. For years, she's managed to keep her secret buried, living under the radar, refusing to bow to the laws of fate. But fate has other plans. When Alpha King Atlas Miles Blackwood arrives, the most feared and ruthless ruler of their kind, Victoria's world shatters. He's come to claim what's his-his mate. His queen. And the moment their eyes lock, their bond ignites like wildfire. But Victoria is no ordinary mate. She's not a submissive she-wolf meant to be conquered. She refuses to be owned. Refuses to let anyone, even an Alpha King, control her destiny. Atlas, however, does not take no for an answer. He is a king. A warrior. A beast that does not know the meaning of surrender. The more she resists, the more he is determined to break her-until she has no choice but to accept what the universe has already decided. But as dark forces rise, and Victoria's hidden power begins to awaken, secrets long buried start to unravel. The truth about her bloodline. The prophecy tied to her fate. And a war that will either tear them apart-or bring them together. Because the Alpha King may have claimed her. But in the end, she might just be the one who claims him.

Four years ago, Selena Moreau gave her heart to a man she had no business loving. She was a seamstress-young, gifted, and far from home. He was a prince, caught between duty and desire, with promises that tasted like forever. In the quiet shadows of the palace, they shared something soft, something sacred... until the world outside tore it apart. Now, Selena lives a quiet life in the town no one of importance ever visits, raising her son with careful hands and a guarded heart. She asks for nothing. Expects even less. The boy she bore is hers alone, and she intends to keep it that way. But when the newly crowned king returns and their paths cross once more, old feelings begin to stir-and buried truths rise to the surface. Alexander is back... not just in her world, but dangerously close to the one secret that binds them forever. He wants to know his son. He wants to understand what he lost. But after everything he left behind... will she let him in? A story of first love, betrayal, and the slow, aching journey back to one another-where the cost of silence may be the only thing keeping them apart.
