He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.

Lyra is one of four humans who awakens in a dazzling but dangerous world, lightyears from home. The stars are unfamiliar. The skies burn with twin moons. And Earth, as they knew it, is gone-erased by a cataclysm they can't explain. Somehow, the four of them have appeared where they shouldn't-even in theory. Declared anomalies by the Tharions, an advanced and war-forged alien race, the humans are placed under guarded observation. Assigned to watch over them is Kael Vel'Sar: heir to the throne, commander of the Royal Forces of Tharion Accord, and a figure whispered about more for his battlefield legend than his compassion. As Lyra begins to adjust to the new reality, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kael, whose loyalty to his people runs as deep as the scars of war across his skin. Kael is bound by tradition, honor, and blood. His duty is to protect his world, investigate the time-tossed humans, and report to the Council . But Lyra is unlike anyone he's ever met- curious, fearless and irresistibly human. Their chemistry ignites the moment they meet... a heat neither of them dares touch. Kael is forbidden to bond with an outsider. But Lyra is already a disruption to Tharion order. And because one kiss could shatter an empire. In a world where love between species is not just taboo but treason, Lyra and Kael must choose between their hearts and the fragile alliance that is all that stands between peace and extinction.

Now, caught in a place where her voice means little and her body is his to claim, Belle must decide: resist the darkness, or surrender to the one male she was never meant to survive.

Four alien soldiers. One human survivor. Nothing about this is gentle. 🔥 The world ended in fire... And I woke up surrounded by monsters who claim me as theirs. They call themselves Dravari- Towering, battle-scarred predators built for war. Lethal. Disciplined. Terrifyingly beautiful. And somehow... I've become their obsession. Thalen, their commander, watches me like I already belong to him. Lyren, the medic, touches like he's trying to memorize my soul. Ryn, the mechanic, hunts for me like I'm something worth bleeding for. And Kael, the youngest, looks at me like I hung his stars. They call me their Circle Female. Their only. Their forever. But I'm still human. Still broken. And surviving this world might mean surrendering to creatures who were never meant to love me- or finding out I was never meant for Earth at all. 💀🔥 Love in the ashes. Desire among monsters. The end of the world never felt so forbidden.

She was there, waiting in the tiger-print lingerie, more nervous than I'd ever seen her. Her hands were trembling. "You're overdressed for a striptease," I said, my voice flat, betraying none of the storm inside. She began to move, her movements stiff with defiance. More fabric hit the floor. She was a vision. All smooth skin and tense muscle. I was disgusted by this whole situation. And I was disgusted with myself for how much I wanted her. "Such a pretty doll," I said, the words meant to wound. She froze. "Don't call me that." "Then what should I call you?" I stepped closer, invading her space. "You have my attention. What's your name?" She met my gaze, her eyes on fire behind the mask. "Téhanie. You can call me Téhanie." A small, hard-won concession. "Ivan," I offered back, a mockery of politeness. I sat down, feigning boredom. "Now, since the show is over, you can put that mouth to better use. Or turn around. Your choice."

"𝑯𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒎𝒆. 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒊 𝒎𝒐𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇." I was born untouchable. The spoiled, sharp-mouthed daughter of one of the most feared men in the city. The girl draped in designer clothes, guarded by killers, with a last name that makes people flinch. And one day? This entire empire will be mine. But until then, I'm content breaking rules, causing chaos, and driving the men my father hires to protect me absolutely insane. And none of them hate me more than Elias Cross. My personal bodyguard. Six-foot-four of brooding, dangerous sin in a suit. Paid to protect me. Forbidden to touch me. I can see it in the way his jaw clenches when I tease him. In the way his cold stare darkens when I push too far. It was forbidden for him to touch me & for me to seduce him. It started as a game. A wicked little power play between a spoiled mafia brat and the man sworn to keep her in line. Now, it's spiraling into obsession. Stolen touches. Dark threats. And possessive promises whispered in the dark. Some men protect you from monsters. Some are the monsters. And Elias Cross was mine the moment he laid eyes on me.
