Some are tricked into a bargain. Some are too desperate to refuse. Eighteen-year-old Ines Santoro is betrayed. Welcome to the Green Court, where magic is plentiful, escape is impossible, and mistakes are deadly. Its elven rulers may look divine, but they anger easily, so be careful not to spill any drinks, or breathe too loudly. Mortals rarely last long in their company, but four years into a life sentence, Ines has perfected the act of a dutiful servant, accepting every order with a smile on her face. That is, until she is caught committing high treason by the mad dog prince. But Silas has no intention of killing her. A deadly curse is waking, rotting the king by day and turning him into a bloodthirsty beast by night. And Ines, an ordinary girl with no connection to the curse, is the key to breaking it. Blackmailed into his service, Ines must follow Silas into the dark underbelly of the Green Court. There, the unlikely pair form a dangerous bond-one never meant to begin or last. In the palace, all that glitters hides a rotten core, and the royals are no exception. But then again, neither are the servants.

"You aren't the only one who can bite, love. Did you forget that?" I tensed, feeling his breath against the exposed flesh of my neck. "Don't-" "Why shouldn't I? You seem to have an issue understanding where you are right now." My hands began to shake as I felt his fangs scrap against my neck, sharp and almost ticklish. "I know you aren't stupid, Esma. You know what I'm capable of and yet you continue to test me. You are lucky that I am a very, very, patient man." I'd never been bit before but I knew it was excruciating. I braced myself for the pain, clenching my eyes shut, heaving in breaths that I tried to control but was too weak to do so. "I can feel your heart going a hundred miles a minute. Are you excited or afraid?" "Excited to be bitten by a vampire?" Aspen's teeth slowly dragged against my neck again, my tongue going dry. "You never know. Some humans find it enjoyable, but they're the ones who like pain. You remind me of them Esma, a little pain whore."

GENERAL'S BRIDE Genre: Psycho-Thriller • Dark Romance • Blood & Gore • Forced Marriage • Mature • Adult Calixto Joaquin Ferrer-once a decorated military general, now the ruthless head of a global syndicate-rules both the underworld and the corporate empire of Devon Enterprise with an iron hand. To the world, he is a cold, disciplined CEO. In the shadows, he is a predator feared by criminals themselves. His mother wants only one thing from him: A wife. A grandchild. A legacy. Calixto finds it ridiculous-until he sees Angela Samañiego again. His childhood obsession. His first trauma. His twisted, unfinished love. But she is no longer the modest, gentle girl he once claimed as his own. Angela now rides a motorcycle like she owns the night, wears clothes that test his sanity, and pops lollipops like she doesn't care whom she tempts. She is reckless, untamed, and too wild for her own good. And Calixto decides- If the world changed her, he will change her back. By force, if necessary. The Ferrer and Samañiego families have always been intertwined, their fathers best friends since youth. So when Calixto asks for Angela's hand, her father agrees instantly... despite Stella, Angela's younger sister, who shamelessly desires Calixto for herself. Angela doesn't want marriage. She doesn't want a man like him. She says it will never work. Calixto does not care. He wants her. He will have her. And no sister, no refusal, no rebellion will stop him. Until Angela wakes up one morning- naked, bruised, and lying in Calixto's bed... with a wedding ring on her finger. Confused. Trapped. Bound to a man whose love is as dangerous as his enemies. Calixto calls it destiny. Angela calls it hell. And between bloodshed, obsession, and a war of hearts, neither of them will come out the same. A dark romance where love is possession, desire is a weapon, and a general will burn the world just to keep his bride.

She never wanted the promotion. He made sure she got it. Mira, a humble maid in Lord Davis's mansion, is suddenly promoted to be his personal attendant-a role she never wanted. When she discovers he orchestrated it to keep her close, she's slowly drawn into a web of forbidden desire, silent obsession, and dangerous power games.

She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.

The first chance she gets, Corrine Whitman tries to escape from the man who abducted her. But when James catches her, she has to deal with his bizarre guilt trip. Doesn't she enjoy his company, the game nights, stimulating conversations? Doesn't she know how lucky she is to be taken by a caring man instead of a psycho? He tells her he can't live without her. He won't live without her. But Corrine has to get home to her father. So, she has a new tactic--earn James's trust and enjoy her new family--or at least pretend. If Corrine plays the game, she'll be given freedom to leave the house, just like other women she's met who were kidnapped. Corrine can't fathom how so many women and children are taken and live seemingly normal lives with their captors all across the country. But she can relate--she's one of them. Corrine plots the perfect escape. Yet, the more time she spends with James, the harder it is to leave. She knows she's suffering from Stockholm syndrome, but she is determined to save herself and the others. And if she escapes? Corrine knows no one has ever left alive-she has to be the first.
