Safiya Shah has built her life on justice - fierce in the courtroom, fearless in the face of power. She never imagined her next battle would be with Zaviyar Khan, the cold, commanding Nawab of Azamgarh. Raised worlds apart yet tied by a hidden history, they are connected by a bond neither of them understands - and a darkness only Zaviyar remembers. When a family emergency brings Safiya back to Azamgarh, old secrets stir. Attending Zaviyar's grand wedding, Safiya watches in shock as his fiancée flees, leaving disgrace behind. But even greater shock awaits: a revelation that their late grandfather's dying wish was to see Zaviyar and Safiya married. For Zaviyar, it's the perfect storm. Behind his calm facade burns a deep hatred - a need for revenge for a tragedy Safiya doesn't even know her family caused. For Safiya, it's a battle of heart and honor - drawn to a man who wants nothing more than to see her broken. As promises are made under ancient vows, love and hatred collide. In a world where loyalty demands sacrifice, can a marriage built on vengeance survive the truth?

BOOK ONE OF FATED HEARTS SERIES (can be read standalone) "I will live here as the daughter-in-law of this family," she said, each word crisp and deliberate. "I'll fulfill every responsibility they expect from me. But never as your wife. Not in the way you think." "And don't worry," she added, her tone suddenly colder, a hint of cruel finality slipping into her voice.."You'll be the one asking for a divorce soon enough." "That's never going to happen," he said, his voice low and firm. "There's no way I'll ever let you walk away from me. Not now. Not after you've become mine." _ 𝗡𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮 - 25 years old A medical intern who once dreamed of becoming a doctor just like her mother because she loved her mother deeply.

She was never loved. Not by the world. Not even by her own father the man who tried to sell her when she was only seven. Growing up unwanted, she stopped asking for fairy tales. She stopped believing in miracles. All she ever wanted was simple to be chosen. To be kept. To be loved just once in her life. So when marriage came, she thought maybe this was it. Maybe this was her escape from a childhood filled with betrayal. Maybe her husband would finally see her worth. But she didn't know the truth. The man she married wasn't looking for love. He was looking for revenge. Haunted by the death of his parents, he vowed to destroy the man responsible. And when fate placed the daughter of his enemy in his hands, he made a promise she would suffer for her father's sins. To her, he was hope. To him, she was punishment. In a marriage built on revenge and innocence, can love survive? Or will hatred burn everything before it even begins?

Eleanor Selwyn and Draco Malfoy had three things in common: a high, pure-blood status, academic talents and Slytherin house. Other than that, they were complete opposites and hated each other. That was rather unfortunate, as the Selwyns and the Malfoys had been part of the same social circle for decades. They went to the same parties, visited the same shops and restaurants and visited each other far more than Eleanor would have liked. If it were up to their mothers, they'd already have been betrothed, but ever since birth, the two were like fire and ice. But what happens when ice gets too close to fire?

Ivy Williams didn't come to Heartfelt University for drama. She came to pass her classes, chain-smoke her way through the stress, and stay out of trouble. Then she met Professor Sinclair. Cold, condescending, and infuriatingly attractive, Sinclair seems to have made it her mission to ruin Ivy's life one lecture at a time. But Ivy gives as good as she gets-and the more they clash, the more the tension starts to twist into something else. Something neither of them is ready for but both of them want far too badly. Sharp words turn into slow glances. Power plays turn personal. And soon, the only thing more dangerous than their rivalry... is what might happen if it stops. [wlw]

"Tell me." He whispered, voice husky with amusement. "If I take this dress off of you and touch you here." His thumb traced slow circles over the tightening nub, rubbing gently, deliberately making it harder. "Would you be wet, Олонок?" Heat surged through me like wildfire. My breath hitched before I could stop it. My lips parted, and instinctively, I bit down on my lower lip, tasting my own flesh. His thumb continued its torturous dance over the areola, small circles that became firmer, coaxing every nerve to attention. I could feel the skin puckering under his touch, my body betraying me in slow, shuddering responses. I wanted to pull away, to stand, to breathe but the grip of his gaze held me captive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elara Sinclair came to Maryville to disappear. After fleeing the engagement her father arranged, one that would have chained her to a life she didn't choose. She only wants quiet, classes, anonymity, and a future of her own making. But quiet shatters the moment she enrolls in Russian during her third year. Her professor, Draven Volkov, is everything she should avoid. Commanding Magnetic Impossible to ignore. His dark eyes promise more than language lessons, and his words curl around her like silk. But behind the sharp suits and the accent is a man with secrets far more dangerous than she realizes. Because Draven Volkov isn't just a professor. He's Lucius Romanov, heir to a ruthless Russian mafia dynasty, hiding in plain sight. As Elara struggles to outrun her past, she finds herself entangled in his. Desire wars with fear, attraction with survival, and every step closer to him pulls her deeper into a world of power, deception, and sin. In Maryville, falling for the wrong man doesn't just break hearts. It can cost lives.

Lucifer Bianchi _________________________________ "Can I kiss you?" Rose said, asking for consent. Lucifer didn't even give it a second thought and leaned in farther, so their lips touched. "Yes," Lucifer whispered. Rose took the invitation and connected their lips. Lucifer grabbed the bottom of Rose's thighs, lifting her to sit on the counter. Her hands found their way into his hair and pulled, making a groan emit from him. It felt like fire ran through both of their bodies. Like they were both finally getting a breath for fresh air. It was addicting and intoxicating. One of Lucifer's hands rested on the small of her back; the other found its way to the back of Roses's head, pushing her farther into him, silently begging for more, and she receives the message. Her lips parted further, letting Lucifer's tongue slip into her mouth. Rose let out a moan at the contact before Lucifer pulled away. Lucifer wraps Rose's hair around his hand the roughly pulled her head back, exposing her neck to him. He brought his lips and kissed from the bottom of her ear, "Don't you-" Lucifer said, pausing between each kiss going down her jaw. "Ever do something-" he said, trailing down her neck, "like that again-" he said, kissing the skin meeting her neck to her shoulder, "or you won't-" he continued lifted his head from her neck and wrapping his hand around her throat. He squeezed lightly, causing a small moan to come from Rose's mouth and a smirk to find its way on Lucifer's face. "Like the consequences," He said threateningly.
