Amir Sterling has a few problems. 1. He smokes too much. 2. His patience expires in under thirty seconds. 3. He has the unfortunate habit of staring people into silence instead of speaking, which has earned him more enemies than friends. Those were manageable. Problem number four? That one appeared about twenty minutes ago. Last night, Amir fell asleep in his Manhattan penthouse wrapped in black silk sheets, surrounded by money, expensive liquor, and the kind of silence only wealth can buy. He should've woken up exactly where he belonged. Instead... He wakes up in a penthouse that isn't his. With a face that isn't his. And a life that definitely isn't his. For five full minutes, Amir stares at the stranger in the mirror. One minute. Two. Three. Five. Then, with the calm resignation of a man who is already exhausted by the universe, he drags a hand down his face and sighs. "...I'm too Black for this." Now he's trapped inside the body of a powerful man with dangerous connections, obsessive admirers, and enemies who seem determined to kill him before breakfast. The worst part? Everyone expects him to know what's going on. Amir doesn't. He barely wants to get out of bed. But if he's going to survive this ridiculous new life, he'll have to outsmart mafias, untangle secrets, dodge bullets, and figure out why everyone keeps looking at him like they already own him. One thing is certain- Whoever wrote this storyline... Should've picked somebody else.

She was never meant to be anything more than a stain on a noble name. A bastard. A scandal. A woman whispered about in drawing rooms and dismissed in polite society. Nalaya Viremont learned early how to make herself smaller. Quieter. Easier to ignore. Because in a world where lineage is everything, she is the mistake no one lets her forget. Unmarried. Unwanted. Nearly a spinster. Until The Ashbourne chooses her for their son. Dr Jude Kane. The Duke of Ashbourne-brilliant, feared, and disturbingly precise. A doctor with a reputation for saving lives as efficiently as he ends conversations. A man so controlled, so calculated, that people question if there's anything human left in him at all. He doesn't court her. He doesn't charm her. He's not even there for their wedding. No love. No softness. Just a contract wrapped in cold authority. And yet... He watches her too closely. Corrects her like she's something to be studied. Protects her like she belongs to him. In a society that already devours her, Nalaya tells herself this is enough. Because love is unreliable. Love abandons. Love is almost nonexistent. But control? Control is safe. Except Jude's version of control doesn't feel safe. It feels consuming. Because the more she tries to remain untouched by him, the more he observes... adjusts... intervenes. And the more dangerous it becomes to ignore the truth: The man who feels nothing is starting to act like she's his. And Nalaya, born of scandal, raised on disdain, may be walking straight into something far more unforgiving than society's cruelty. Something that doesn't just want to control her. Something that might ruin her completely.

Jake shouldn't have been born an omega. He has big hands, big feet, big... well, everything. He's nothing like the sweet and dainty omegas he sometimes sees in the street, usually in the company of men who carry with them the alluring smell of alpha everywhere they go. Each time this happens, Jake has to cross the road. He's given up on the idea of ever being like those omegas. By the time he turned twenty, he realized he could never catch an alpha's eye. Now that he's twenty-eight, even the silly dreams he used to entertain as a young omega - that somehow, an alpha who'd like someone like him, who'd want him to carry his puppies, existed in the world - have faded from his mind. Until he catches a scent that makes him dizzy. During a bar brawl. From which he staggers out, bloody, adrenaline pumping in his veins. And he receives a kiss - and a bit more than he bargained for - that leaves him breathless from the man he leaped to defend during the scuffle, ending up fighting side by side with him. And then a proposition from the powerful Salazar family comes - to work for them as a bodyguard. In the Salazar mansion, he catches the same scent again, maddening him and his omega senses, despite the heat suppressants he's on. The alpha who kissed and did other things to him lives there. But who is he? Oh no, Jake realizes with dread. He's one of the Salazar brothers. The middle child. The troublemaker. The playboy. What has he gotten himself into? Warnings: Smut Violence (only against the bad guys, not between the main characters - my guys love each other very much)

Annie's life is about to change again. Some secrets are uprooted, while others are buried deeper. Blood spills and negotiations are made.
