A girl who talks too much. A man who barely speaks. A beginning that already feels like trouble. Isla Bennett has always been easy to read, easy to love, and impossible to silence, drifting through life with a kind warmth. Rafe Costello is the complete opposite, a CEO built on control and silence, someone who keeps his distance because it's easier than letting anyone get close enough to matter. What begins as reluctant proximity between them, slowly turns into something neither of them can seem to stay away from. But the question is.. how does a man who trusts nothing learn to trust someone like her? And how does a girl who feels everything, handle the one person she cannot quite figure out? ------------------------------------------------------------------ He shook his head slightly. But lifted his arm anyway. She spun again, laughing louder this time, and when she looked back at him he was watching her carefully. He muttered quietly under his breath. "You're trouble." Isla blinked at him, before soon smiling with a wide grin. "I'll take that as a compliment." ------------------------------------------------------------------ -SEQUEL TO 'MR.SERIOUS'-

Nia is nothing but a "runt" in the eyes of her pack. As a half-wolf, half-human outcast, she has lived her entire life as an abused servant to her cruel uncle. When his gambling debts spiral out of control, he does the unthinkable: he sells her at a terrifying, underground supernatural auction. She expects to be bought as a slave-or worse. But the bidding comes to a dead halt when the heavy doors crash open, and a living legend walks in. Alpha Kade. Known across the continent as "The Butcher." He is the ruthless ruler of the frozen North, a heavily scarred warlord who is said to have no heart and leaves no survivors. Kade drops an untouchable fortune to claim Nia, dragging her away to his isolated, icy fortress. Terrified, Nia believes she has just been sold to a monster who will tear her apart. But the terrifying Alpha doesn't throw her in a dungeon. Instead, he gives her the most luxurious suite in the castle, orders his staff to feed her like royalty, and snaps the arm of a guard who dares to look at her with disrespect. Soon, Nia discovers the shocking truth: The Alpha didn't buy a slave. He smelled his Fated Mate on the auction block. And now, the monster she thought would destroy her is standing right in front of her, ready to burn the entire world to the ground and annihilate anyone who has ever dared to hurt her.

She never knew that opening that door would open a whole new life for her. *** Ahvi Chrysanthos hasn't had too much happen in her life, or so she'd describe. So, when she lands a new job, she thinks nothing out of the usual for it. Go in. Do great. Don't let them regret giving you the position. That shouldn't be too hard, right? The only thing she wasn't expecting was for a cheeky little boy to knock on her office door. Answering it, she could've never guessed who he was connected to. Azevion Mercier has had a long life, even though he was only twenty-six. He's had a lot of setbacks in his life before he even had the chance to start it. Now, he finally had a hold on things. He'd finally figured out how to work with what he had, and he wasn't looking to change it for the world. The last thing he could've ever expected or wanted was for his new assistant to slither into his life the way that she did. Both are accustomed to a static life. Neither were looking for love, yet their hearts would soon find it either way. The real question lies within whether they have the capacity to keep each other in their lives, or let all the brand new pressure build until they break. And in the middle of it all: a boy who needs nothing more than a stable life.

She was raised to be perfect. He was raised to destroy. The night he "saves" her... he marks her. Watches her. Breaks her slowly until love and hate blur into something dangerously inseparable. She thinks she's his weakness. Truth is... she was always his target. He didn't fall for her. He planned her. Now she stands at the heart of a game he set in motion long before she ever learned his name, a story where every gentle touch carries intention, every choice tightens the snare, and escape was never part of the design.

Blood is currency in the vampire court - and mercy is a weakness few survive. When Lina is dragged before the ruthless, newly crowned vampire prince Corvis, she expects what every noble taken by the court expects: fangs, feeding, and death. Humans are prey in this kingdom of immortals since they no longer hide in the shadows, little more than vessels to be drained and discarded once their blood runs dry. But Corvis does something no vampire prince should. He lets her live. Instead, he keeps her. Forced to remain at the prince's side, Lina becomes his personal source of blood - a living prisoner within the palace walls, fed well enough to survive and taken whenever the prince's hunger demands it. To the vampire court, the meaning is obvious. Humans exist to be fed upon. The prince has simply chosen to keep his prey close. Corvis himself is no gentler threat. Ruthless, feared, and utterly merciless to those who challenge him, the vampire prince rules through the power and violence he once was a victim to himself. Yet the longer Lina remains at his side, the clearer it becomes that the prince who feeds from her does not entirely understand the fragile humanity he has claimed. And in a palace where loyalty is bought in blood and betrayal lurks behind every velvet smile, Lina may discover a dangerous truth: Being spared by the most powerful monster in the kingdom might be far more perilous than being killed by him. #1 cruel ~ 26.03.2026
