"Touch me, Blaze... and you'll remember me every time something beautiful dies." -- She was the only sin he'd die to confess. So he destroyed his kingdom for her absolution. -- 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. Power built their world. Power destroyed it. She pulled the trigger that turned his hate into a kingdom of fire, and now fate binds them to the same war. Hate keeps them sharp. Hate keeps them alive. But hate is just another mask for power. And when it cracks, they'll both discover the cost of letting go. -- In a city ruled by blood and silence, some names are spoken only in whispers. New York breathes violence like smoke-its kings crowned in crime, its peace bought in bodies. Blaze Marino, heir to a fractured Italian empire, doesn't believe in myths. He believes in control. In power. In pain as currency. But when a woman with white hair and a scar like prophecy crashes a masquerade of monsters, everything changes. She moves like fire. Vanishes like smoke. Leaves no name, no trail-just destruction and desire. And with her, the game changes. As alliances crack and old ghosts crawl from the shadows, Blaze finds himself caught between revenge and something far more dangerous: curiosity. Obsession. A pull he can't explain. They say saints die young. But what if she was never a saint at all? And if she was- maybe she always knew how her story would end.

Synopsis: Her parents raised her to save lives. He was born to take them. At twenty-three, Dr. Evangeline James has her dream job and a haunted heart. One of Manhattan's youngest pediatric surgeons, she spends her days stitching up children and her nights keeping her demons in check. Raised under her parents' strict Southern roof-with gospel in her ears and shame stitched into her spine-Evangeline ran to New York for more than ambition. She came for air. For control. For secrets. She never expected to find him-a man bleeding to death behind a dumpster in the freezing cold, clutching a gun like it was a lifeline. One look into those brutal, obsidian eyes and Evangeline knew: this man was not a victim. He was a threat. And somehow, she still brought him home. He said his name was Lorenzo DeLuca. She knew it belonged to a monster. Not just a mafia prince-but the heir to the DeLuca empire. A man carved from violence and baptized in blood. A man who's used to getting what he wants-and now he wants her. Lorenzo is sin in human form. dark silk, loaded guns, and soft-spoken commands. He makes promises that sound like threats and touches her like she's already his. He says he'll protect her from his world-but his world is made of bodies, betrayal, and war. And Evangeline? She's no saint. What begins as a mercy spirals into a dangerous obsession. He's possessive. Unforgiving. Addicted. And the deeper Evangeline falls into Lorenzo's shadows, the more she questions everything-her morals, her loyalties, even her own pleasure. Because nothing about this is holy. Nothing about him is safe. But God, she craves him anyway. And she might not survive what loving him will cost.

Isola Ren never planned to come back to the sport that destroyed her family. But when she's hired as the team's new physical therapist, she finds herself face-to-face with the man whose name once filled her brother's stories. Luca Moretti. Arrogant. Commanding. Off-limits. Their first clash sparks more than anger. His warning is low and dangerous: "Careful, little girl. I break the ones who talk back." She should walk away. She doesn't.

And when secrets from the past resurface, both will have to decide what they're willing to risk - for forgiveness, for obsession, and for something that feels a lot like love. A dark, age-gap hockey romance full of tension, obsession, and the kind of heat that burns slow and deep.

Victoria Athena Johnson has spent her entire life hiding in plain sight. The Beta's little sister-strong-willed, sharp-tongued, and fiercely independent. But what no one knows is that she's not just another wolf in the pack. She's something more. Something ancient. Something powerful. For years, she's managed to keep her secret buried, living under the radar, refusing to bow to the laws of fate. But fate has other plans. When Alpha King Atlas Miles Blackwood arrives, the most feared and ruthless ruler of their kind, Victoria's world shatters. He's come to claim what's his-his mate. His queen. And the moment their eyes lock, their bond ignites like wildfire. But Victoria is no ordinary mate. She's not a submissive she-wolf meant to be conquered. She refuses to be owned. Refuses to let anyone, even an Alpha King, control her destiny. Atlas, however, does not take no for an answer. He is a king. A warrior. A beast that does not know the meaning of surrender. The more she resists, the more he is determined to break her-until she has no choice but to accept what the universe has already decided. But as dark forces rise, and Victoria's hidden power begins to awaken, secrets long buried start to unravel. The truth about her bloodline. The prophecy tied to her fate. And a war that will either tear them apart-or bring them together. Because the Alpha King may have claimed her. But in the end, she might just be the one who claims him.
