ALEC I'm Alec Grayson-the sole heir to a corporate empire. A man who thrives on power, wealth, and pleasure. Success isn't just my inheritance, I earned it. Women fall at my feet, but I don't commit. My world is built on indulgence and living on my terms. Then she appears. One glance, and everything shifts. There's something about her. An intoxicating mix of innocence and raw sensuality that unsettles and challenges me. I avoid complexities, yet I'm captivated by the enigma of Skylar. SKYLAR Life never played fair. A father I never knew, a mother taken too soon. And in my darkest moment, the devil found me. Shattering me, leaving behind scars that made me swear off love. Trusting a man again? Impossible. But then he happens. From the moment we meet, the chemistry is irrefutable. Dangerous. Magnetic. What starts as an unexpected spark quickly becomes something deeper. But where there's passion, there's also darkness, jealousy and forces determined to tear us apart. A love that feels invincible now stands on the edge of destruction. Then there's a nightmare that never seems to end. - - - - WARNING - - - - ADULT READ!!! 🔞 The following story is rated MATURE and strictly intended for readers 18+.

He's mythologically hot, a little bit wicked, almost 100% immortal. And he'll hit you right in the heart . . . --- Lila Black doesn't believe in matchmaking, let alone soul mates. So why is she constantly being hassled by the Cupids Matchmaking Service? But this gilded, cherub-bedecked dating agency isn't exactly what it seems . . . and it's about to turn Lila's entire world upside down. It turns out that Cupids Matchmaking is the real deal. As in, it's run by actual cupids―who don't look at all like they do in the paintings―and they have a serious problem with Lila's "match." Because this guy shouldn't be in the system. He shouldn't have a match. And while he's irresistibly hot, he's also incredibly dangerous. Because Lila's true love match is Cupid. The original bad boy of love. And he wants her. Now Lila's once-normal teenaged world has exploded into a mythological nightmare overrun by crime-lord sirens, wrathful cupid hit men, magic arrows that cause no end of trouble, and a mischievous, not-so-angelic love god she can't seem to stop herself from falling for . . .
