Isla never expected her world to collide with Xander. Her dad's best friend, the man she's known her whole life, suddenly feels like a stranger... and a temptation she can't resist. He's older, powerful, and dangerously alluring, and every interaction leaves her heart racing-and her morals teetering on the edge. {{BOOK ONE}} Xander has rules. And breaking them isn't an option... until Isla walks into his life, waking something dark and possessive he can't control. What starts as temptation turns into an obsession neither of them can escape. Secrets, power, and desire collide in a game where the stakes are higher than either of them imagined. The question is... how far will he go to have her? And how much of herself will Isla risk in the fire of his twisted obsession?

Monsters do not fall in love. They conquer. They rule. They destroy. And their king is the most feared of them all. Cold. Ancient. Untouchable. When a human girl wanders into forbidden territory, the law is clear she must die. But instead of ordering her execution... He claims her. Before his entire kingdom, he announces: "She will be my wife." She is fragile. Mortal. Soft. Everything he is not. The world calls him a monster. But when enemies rise and blood spills in her name, she begins to understand the truth He was never dangerous to her. He was dangerous for her. And a monster who loves... loves obsessively.

I cupped her face, planting a soft kiss on her beautiful lips. "Don't ever run from me, baby," I said softly, letting my thumb trace her jaw. "I love the chase." Her jaw tightened, her hands coming up to try and move mine. "Stop calling me baby, Ezra," she snapped, eyes flashing. I couldn't help but grin, dropping my voice to something low and dark. "Ohhh, now my baby has a problem with me calling her baby?" She shot me a glare, but I just tucked her hair behind her ear, pressing another kiss to her lips-gentler this time, lingering. "You don't get to tell me what to call you, baby." I leaned in closer, brushing my nose against hers. "You're whatever the fuck I call you."

You can lock up a monster, but you can't kill his obsession. Six years in a psych ward didn't fix Silas Kane. It only sharpened his hunger. Ivy Monroe was the only thing that soothed the void inside him the quiet girl next door, the one he watched, craved, and would kill for. Now he's free. The world thinks he's hunting revenge. But monsters don't care about justice. They care about possession. He's not coming to save her. He's not coming to love her. He's coming to own her. This isn't a love story. This is a warning. He's not a hero. He's not even human. And once you let the monster in he never leaves. Read if you dare.

He wasn't just my best friend. He was my architect. Ela Miller is "clumsy." She's the girl who loses her keys, fails her bio-labs, and relies on her genius best friend, Liam Vance, to keep her world upright. When their parents leave them alone for a month during a record-breaking storm, Liam offers to teach her the "lessons" she's missed out on-how to kiss, how to touch, how to know a man. But as the rain pours, the "puppy-eyed" boy-next-door starts to slip. Every touch is too practiced. Every "accidental" encounter feels like a trap. And the security cameras in the house? They aren't for her protection. They're for his viewing. Ela thinks she's the teacher. She has no idea she's the prey. By the time the sun comes out, Liam doesn't just want her heart. He wants her name, her future, and every breath she takes. He's been planning this for twenty-one years. And he's tired of playing nice. He didn't become obsessed because he didn't understand love-he became obsessed because he thought he understood it too well. Growing up, he saw a kind of love that felt safe, constant, and complete, and somewhere along the way, he started believing that this was the only way life could feel whole. So when he met her, he didn't just see a person-he saw the possibility of recreating that same world. And slowly, without even realizing it, his love turned into something heavier... something that needed to hold on too tightly, just to feel secure. She wasn't unaware-she was just never taught to trust herself. Growing up, every decision was made for her, every mistake corrected, every thought quietly replaced by someone else's "better" way. So when he stepped in to guide her, it didn't feel like control... it felt familiar. He didn't take her independence away-she had never really learned to hold onto it in the first place. And when care starts to look like control, it becomes almost impossible to tell the difference.

"𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐲" "𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮." 𝐈 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐲. "𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟. 𝐏-𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞." Lacy has almost everything she could ever want. Almost. Popularity, model-like looks, her best friend Bella. So why does it feel like her world is crumbling before her eyes when the notorious, hot nerd starts to tutor her and breaks down her walls. And why does she feel her walls breaking when he comes pouring in. She drifts through the halls like a ghost, caught somewhere between who she used to be and who she's afraid she's becoming. Ronan Concentino, quiet, steady, and unnoticed by choice, sees her in a way no one else does. As their paths keep crossing, two very different lives begin to collide in ways neither of them planned.

At the center of it all is a close-knit group of friends, each grappling with the weight of their gilded existence. They appear to have everything: beauty, wealth, and influence. Yet beneath the surface of their seemingly perfect lives lies a dangerous undercurrent of decadence and denial. The intoxicating mix of excess and expectation begins to unravel when a single, shocking event exposes cracks in the foundation of their world.

Ariana Vanderlyn is fifteen, spoiled, and too pretty for her own good. Her parents work too much, her house is too big, and her summer plans consist of lounging poolside in pink swimsuits and cherry lip, bomb pops and sunglasses... until he shows up. Enzo Romano is seventeen, quiet, and definitely not here for her. Fresh off a plane from Italy, he's hired to clean her family's mansion in Palm Beach-pool, garden, glass, and all. He doesn't smile. He doesn't flirt. And he's definitely not supposed to notice the boss's bratty daughter with bedroom eyes and a bad habit of leaving messes. But Ariana has a crush. And Ariana doesn't play fair. 🎀
