The Kingston's were always more than a family. They were a dynasty-ruling New York from the shadows, with power flowing through their veins for generations. Nothing happened in their city without their knowledge or control. It was a legacy of power, loyalty, and secrets, passed down without question. Now, Reese Kingston, the only child of the infamous Vaughn Kingston, is drowning under the crushing weight of the city's expectations. She was born to inherit it all-but can she live up to the impossible standards that shaped the Kingston empire? When long-lost relatives resurface, bringing promises of unity, Reese sees her chance to prove she's not just an heir, but the rightful successor to the Kingston throne. But beneath the surface of this reunion lies a web of buried secrets and bitter betrayals. The Kingston legacy is not what it seems-and Reese is about to discover that power, once fractured, is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Now, she must decide: will she restore the family's iron grip on New York, or will its hidden past destroy everything she's ever known?

Sugar's addicting. So is she. Graham Davis has two addictions: Hockey-and Gracie Daniels. (Not that he knows it yet.) At St. Brown University, Gracie Daniels is the golden girl. Blonde ponytail, perfect smile, always saying yes. So when she's asked to manage PR for the hockey team, she agrees-hoping to help thaw their notoriously icy captain. But Graham Davis doesn't melt. He's distant, guarded, and doesn't need help from a pink-sweater-wearing perfectionist... until he starts noticing things he shouldn't. Skipped meals. Covered bruises. Flinches too small to be accidental. Gracie is sweet, bright, and hiding more than anyone knows. And Graham can't stop looking.

SEQUEL - CANNOT BE READ AS A STANDALONE Three years ago, he vanished - no goodbye, no explanation. Just silence. Now seventeen, Cecelia Bonetti has learned to live with that silence. She's grown into her strength, anchored by the fierce love of her brothers and the pieces of herself she's slowly put back together. But then - on the first day of senior year - he walks in.

And the more he tries to turn away, the more something fierce and protective stirs beneath the armor he's built. He thought walking away would be the hardest part. He was wrong.

HEIR OF SHADOWS Some families are built on love. Others are built on secrets. At seventeen, Athena Williams already owns a billion-pound tech empire, hides her face behind designer sunglasses, and keeps the world at arm's length. Control is everything to her. Control keeps people safe. Control keeps secrets buried. Then Caterina disappears. At first, Athena thinks her aunt simply left without warning again-something Caterina has always been good at. But when her calls stop going through, Joel vanishes without a trace, and strange pieces of Caterina's past begin surfacing, Athena realises something is very wrong. With the help of her closest friends-Mica Gonzales, Max, and Mason Hunter-Athena starts digging for answers. What begins as a missing persons search slowly unravels into something darker. Old names. Hidden connections. Men who watch too closely. Files that should not exist. And a powerful family Athena has never heard of-but somehow seems tied to. The deeper Athena investigates, the more she discovers that Caterina was keeping secrets long before she disappeared. And some shadows were never meant to be found.

Orphaned at a very young age, Isabella grew up in a grand mansion with her five older brothers. From the start, they took on the role of teaching her everything she needed to know-how to speak, behave, and survive-drawing from their own childhood experiences. Yet their lessons were often harsh, cold, and strict, leaving Isabella feeling neglected and fearful. The younger brothers teased and tormented her, reporting every misstep to the older ones, who scolded her sharply. At first, she believed they hated her. But as she grew, Isabella began to understand that her brothers were themselves misunderstood and burdened by responsibility. Through fear, teasing, and strict guidance, she slowly learned to see their hearts. In the end, their relationship was far from perfect, but a quiet, mutual understanding-and even happiness-emerged from the cracks of their cold façades.

"Just let me take care of you," Alexander says as his hand moves across my thigh, his legs holding me in place on the couch. "I can't, it's too much-" I go to move his hand, but another set of hands stop mine. The rings and veins make it obvious who it is. "Enzo, please," I whine quietly. "Be a good girl and sit still. You need a release, baby. Do you want us to make you cum, or Vince?" It was then that I look over to the armchair in the corner, a silent set of eyes sweeping along my body before raising to my eyes. Vince. _________________________________ Ellie Taylor was strong.
