One moment, I'm tracing my bleeding hand over vivid, newly unearthed frescoes of three striking men in a Late Republican villa, their features eerily reminiscent of the fresco I've studied since I was ten: Roman Senator Marcus Valerius, whose family vanished from history in 50 BC. The next, I'm sprawled across a marble floor in ancient Rome, pinned beneath the hard, commanding body of Marcus himself-flesh and blood, pulsing with raw power. And good grief, nothing captured the fire in his piercing stare or the way his touch ignites my traitorous body. But the history books lied. Marcus isn't the last Valerius. He has three brothers, each more dangerously captivating than the last-men I now know match those cryptic frescoes. Lucius, the battle-scarred warrior, whose heated grappling in the training yard leaves me breathless. Flavius, the silver-tongued diplomat, whose calculated caresses in shadowed corridors unravel my resolve. And Rufus, the freedman with knowing eyes, whose gentle touch conceals a hunger that sets my heart racing. Trapped in ancient Rome with no way home, I'm ensnared in a web of desire and deceit. The Valerii brothers want me-each in their own intoxicating way-and resistance feels like a losing battle. Worse, there is a fifth fresco, and it hides a chilling secret that threatens to upend everything I know. Am I a stranger in Rome, or the key to the Valerii family's mysterious erasure from history? With enemies closing in and time itself against me, I must choose: fight for a way back to my world or surrender to a fate that could rewrite the past.

Delaney Linwood was the sweetest thing to show up at Sugar Coated, the Sinclair pack's bougie ice cream and pastry parlor. With pack 'dynamics' semantics looming over her head, Delaney shoved ideas of pack life out of her mind since betas were rarely easy additions. The Sinclair pack omega had different ideas though, what with a very tempting heat on the horizon --one that only Delaney could solve. And what an omega wants -- an omega gets. Whether it was the brains, the booty, or the beta, the Sinclair pack was dead set on Delaney being on the menu, whether she believed it or not. *** This is my take on omegaverse content since I cannot for the life of me get it out of my head. I do intend this to be a RH, poly story with MM content, so do go into it with that in mind. Also just for clarity this is not a shifter story. There are no werewolves in the Sweet Petersverse.

Trigger Warnings: Abuse, Intense Taboo, Romantic Themes, Family Secrets, Brandon Thorne doesn't lose. At 38, he's untouchable-ruthless, paranoid, and completely fucking insane. Men fear him. His enemies crumble. He built his empire with his bare hands, crushed anyone in his way. But now, standing in a seedy bar, watching the girl on stage with too much attitude and not enough shame, he sees what he missed. Willa Whitmore. Brandon locked her parents away without a second thought. Never even checked if they had a kid. Oops. Now she's here, shaking her ass for cash, glaring like she'd stab him if given the chance. And fuck, he likes it. Willa Whitmore is not impressed. First, the bastard ruins her life. Now he's sitting at the bar, drinking whiskey like he didn't single-handedly destroy her entire existence. And worse? He's staring. Like he wants to eat her alive. She should run, but then come his idiot sons. Complete freakshows. Otto and Max. Otto is all brawn, zero impulse control, a psycho with a chainsaw grin. Willa swears he gets off on making her scream. Max is quieter, smarter, but twice as fucked up. If Otto is a feral dog, Max is the one watching her sleep, planning her funeral, and picking out the music. Brandon wants to own her. Otto wants to break her. Max? He just wants to keep her. Forever. Maybe in a basement. So she plays along-smiles, obeys, acts like she isn't plotting their destruction. But the more time she spends with them, the harder it gets. Because the Thornes might be completely, irredeemably insane... but maybe Willa is, too.
