What's worse than a blade at your throat or staring down your own death from a cliff? Getting married to Choi Seungcheol - the man even devils prefer to avoid. Yet here I stand, wrapped in silk I didn't pick, under chandeliers brighter than my will to live, listening to vows that feel more like contracts signed in blood. Everyone says this marriage will end a war. Cute. I say it's another battlefield - one I intend to walk across in heels and sarcasm. Because here I am, in a wedding hall dripping in roses and danger, smiling like I'm not actively planning how to make my new husband stop breathing.

Revenge is sweet...until love makes it bitter. Yoon Jeonghan and Kim Ara are like ships passing in the night, unaware of each other's existence. However when Jeonghan's dad, who runs a big company, cheats on his wife with Ara's mom, who works as his secretary, everything gets messy and Jeonghan is consumed by a desire for revenge. His scheme? Make Ara fall head over heels for him, and then walk away, leaving her broken. "Jeonghan's smile was laced with a hint of determination as his gaze drifted to her lips. He sensed that this might be the moment to bring his revenge to a close, and he was ready to make it a reality on this very night. 'Why do you insist on denying what's happening between us, hmm princess?' 'I can see it, even if you won't admit it. You may not like me, but the attraction is undeniable, and you can't hide it.' His words held a note of conviction, and he continued to look at her lips, underscoring the unspoken tension that simmered between them. Ara couldn't help but despise the way he made her feel. She detested the way her body responded to his touch. However, the undeniable truth couldn't be denied any longer. The attraction between them had become an inescapable reality, and she found herself caught in its grip. Sensing that Ara was lost in deep thought, Jeonghan slowly moved his hand to her chin and gently lifted it to meet her gaze. 'I'll give you the chance to push me away,' Jeonghan murmured, his voice low and intimate. He leaned closer to her lips, and she could feel his minty breath brushing against her soft skin. 'But if you don't,' Jeonghan continued, his voice a sultry whisper, 'then I'll gladly show you how pleasure feels.' His lips brushed against hers as he spoke, igniting a spark of desire in the charged atmosphere between them. 'Give me the chance to light a flame between us.'"

BOOK #2 They say love heals scars, but Seokmin's scars were lessons-bitter reminders that twisted him into a creature of darkness. His life was a series of brutal lessons that shaped him into someone who burns with an unquenchable fire. Protecting his brother-in-law's assistant was both his best and worst decision, a choice that bound him to Joshua in ways he could never escape. Joshua was his-body, mind, and soul. His to break, reshape, and claim. No one could alter that, not Joshua, not even Seokmin himself. Seokmin's voice was low, his breath hot against Joshua's skin as he spoke, "I've never craved anyone as much as I crave you." Joshua's eyes were wet with fear as he tried to pull away. "You don't love me. You're just obsessed. Let me go." Seokmin's grip tightened as he leaned in, pressing his lips to Joshua's in a kiss both tender and demanding. "I'll let you go," he whispered against Joshua's lips, "but only when my soul is ripped from this body. And even then, who knows? Maybe we're bound beyond this life."
