William Parisi works at Vicious... a black-walled nightclub where money moves fast, loyalty is fragile, and power decides who survives. For five years he has managed the chaos... and endured the attention of a supervisor who believes control equals love. When William finally refuses to keep sleeping with him, the rejection turns violent. And the club's owner steps in and everything shifts. Alexxio Morelli is feared for a reason. He does not tolerate disorder inside his territory. He does not forgive betrayal. And he does not allow anyone to touch what he decides is his. But the intervention reveals something bigger. William's family is collapsing from the inside. Their assets are disappearing. Their finances are bleeding. Someone is sabotaging them, and they cannot find the source alone. In exchange for the Morelli family's power, resources, and investigation into the financial betrayal, William is offered as collateral. A marriage contract is signed. Protection is granted. And William is placed beside the most dangerous man in the room as payment for help.

Preston is a reckless submissive who doesn't play by the rules. At least that's what his one friend, Sammie describes him as. Preston plays with Doms, spits them out, and never lets them touch him more than once. The reason is simple... he doesn't want to get attached. He believes if he leaves them first, they can't leave him first. Hurt is not something he ever wants to feel again... and he's happy with the way his life is going. A good job at the local animal shelter by day, and a secret lifestyle at night. He's cool... until this Dom takes interest in him. Too much interest. Preston knows who Dom Julian Voss is. He's the one who trains subs in Eclipse. The one Preston loves watching on stage and in the open play rooms, but Preston has never played with him, and doesn't want to. Until Julian convinces him to give him one night and promises the best scene of Preston's life. Unfortunately that was true... and now Preston has to dump him faster than the plague because Preston can't get attached to him. But Julian has other plans because he's already become attached to Preston. He pursues him hard... and eventually he convinces Preston to play with him after one very explicit scene on stage with Julian and a sub he was training. But the 2nd session turns into a 3rd and then... before Preston knows it, it's been 10, and feelings are starting to develop. Which is something Preston has always ran from.

Beneath the city, hidden behind steel doors and whispered passwords, there is a place called The Maze. It isn't a club. It isn't a game. It's a hunt. Every night, the crowd gathers underground to watch as Targets step willingly into the labyrinth, chasing a crown hidden in the dark. But they're never alone. Waiting inside are the Arrows. The masked hunters, each with a name designed to terrify, each with their own way of breaking prey. Some Targets enter for glory. Some for escape. Some just for the thrill. But once the gates close, the only thing that matters is survival. And survival depends on one thing: Whether your Arrow wants you dead... or wants to keep you. ----- Each book in The Maze follows a different Arrow and the Target who dares to face them. Obsession, possession, betrayal, surrender... every story is a new game, every romance a dangerous edge you can't step back from. Welcome to The Maze. Enter if you dare.

In a kingdom where ice and fire have warred for centuries, Crown Prince Elias Veyra is bound by duty, frost, and an unbreakable throne. Until the Binding Ceremony rips open a portal and delivers Thorne Blackwood... an outlaw fire mage, sworn enemy, and the one man fate has chosen as his soul-bound familiar. 
One touch could shatter empires. One kiss could set the world ablaze. 
But when the Council demands severance and war looms on every border, Elias must choose: obey the crown he was born to serve... or burn it all down for the man he was never supposed to love.

When he was eighteen, Cordae watched witches and vampires slaughter his family and the entire pack. The only person who survived the slaughter was his friend, Ardell, who became his Beta. With only him by his side, Cordae rebuilt from the ashes. He swore he would never Hope again, rebuilding his people with blood and iron over the next seventeen years. Duty has kept him alive. Duty, and rage. But when Ardell's second-chance mate is found in the wreckage of a vampire raid, Cordae's carefully forged world begins to fracture. For his Beta, forgiveness and trust comes easy when he looks into the eyes of his mate. To Ardell, the vampire means love, hope, and healing. To Cordae, it means jealousy, distrust, anger, betrayal...and danger. Then a prophecy whispers that Cordae's own mate will come "through fire and ruin." And when he finally finds him, broken and bleeding on his borders, he realizes fate has not given him a wolf, nor vampire, nor witch... but something far more dangerous. Something all of the factions fear. Something the High Council will demand he destroy. Only they don't have to... because everyone else wants to kill him too.

Julian thought training Alec would be a mission... structured, contained, temporary. A way to help a broken sub find his way back from the edge without letting the past bleed into his present life with Preston. He was wrong. Alec arrives like a storm no one can predict: sharp-tongued, guarded, reckless, pushing every boundary Julian tries to set. He scoffs at rules, tests limits, vanishes for hours only to return marked and defiant. Yet beneath the attitude is a quiet desperation... a boy who learned early that love hurts, so better to hurt first and harder. Julian sees it and Preston sees it. And both of them refuse to look away. Preston, now fully collared and deeply surrendered, finds himself unexpectedly drawn into the orbit of Alec's chaos. Alec is not an easy book to read. His pages are torn, ink smeared, words crossed out and rewritten in anger. Most people would close him and walk away. Not Julian and Preston. They turn the pages together because they both know that if you have the patience to push through the fear and the rage and the self-sabotage... what waits at the end is a story worth cherishing. This is a story of three hearts learning... messily, painfully, beautifully... how to hold each other without breaking.
