I almost choke on the piece of chocolate covered strawberry as I saw Alpha Liam from the Crimson Fangs Pack come walking towards me with a smile. I start looking behind me to see if he's really looking at someone else but I notice it's just me standing here. Once he approaches me, he holds out his hand. "May I have this dance?" He asks in a deep husky voice. I stare at him in shock and then quickly snap out of the trance that his gorgeous green eyes has captured my attention. "Y-Yes." I reply softly as I place the strawberry stem down onto the napkin on the table and place my hand into his as he begins escorting me out to the middle of the dance floor. I can feel everyone's eyes staring at us as they're smiling except for my brother's and his pack along with most of the girls' eyes that are shooting daggers at me right now. However, none of them matter. I suddenly am finding myself looking back into his eyes and not being able to blink. I know this might sound cliche and all but really, once we begin dancing to the music together I feel almost as though it's a scene from a movie. My heart is skipping a beat and I'm feeling my knees becoming a little weak. Why, out of every other beautiful girl that's here, why would he choose me? Did my brother set me up and paid him to come and dance with me, just to embarrass me even more? Alpha Liam is dancing with me. He is ruthless and is one of the most feared and yet most respected Alpha's there is and his training is intense as is also trying to get into his pack. I heard it's near impossible to and that not many last. He is someone you don't say 'no' to. Then it finally became clear as for the first time I heard my wolf, Amethyst's voice finally speak to me after three years......."Mate!" © Copyright 2018 All Rights Reserved

I thought I knew the cost of ambition. I built my husband's company from the ground up, coding through exhaustion and pregnancy while he charmed investors and claimed the spotlight. I told myself we were a team. Until I lose my baby, alone, and see him laughing on a rooftop party with another woman. That night, I log back into the system I designed and make a small adjustment. Not enough to destroy it. Just enough to make it tremble. _______________________________________ Levi Thorne, the billionaire CEO preparing to merge with Eli's company, recognises the precision immediately. And when he reaches out to the mysterious "Ghost" behind the architecture, he finds something far more dangerous than sabotage: a woman who has been underestimated for far too long. As corporate tension escalates and betrayal turns public, Mira must choose between the safety of invisibility and the risk of being seen by a man who understands exactly what she's capable of. Because the most powerful revenge isn't destruction. It's a revelation.

He built an empire out of engines, rules, and sarcasm - then a five-year-old with his eyes showed up at his clubhouse. Ollie "Rock" Carter, President of the Iron Vultures MC, has everything under control - until a tiny genius named Rory marches in with a backpack full of crayons and chaos. Suddenly there's drama, old mistakes, jealous girlfriends, and more rules being broken than he ever wrote. Turns out, fatherhood wasn't in the bylaws.

One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.

"Y-your H-highness? I-i'm sorry b-but t-there m-must b-be a-a m-mistake..." A loud growl sounded through the whole ballroom causing me to start shaking and a whimper to escape my lips. This caused the King to stop growling. He pulled me to his chest and yelled out to the whole ballroom. "MINE!" Audrey is an Omega in the Rapid River Pack. Lucas is the Alpha King, Ruling over all and his own pack, The Moonlight Eclipse Pack. Audrey is beaten daily loosing all hope of every meeting her mate. Lucas just wants his mate but feels like she doesn't exist. What happens when the two meet at the Annual Lunar Eclipse Ball? Credits to @M_Rainberry for the amazingly wonderful cover!!!

Copyright © 2025 by Bookish Dae After single mom Sophia overhears the love of her life, Grey, call their life "exhausting," her world shatters. She walks away, forcing the tattooed, man who adored her and her son to embark on a relentless journey fighting for a second chance to become the husband and father they deserve.

He blocked her in. She shut him down. Now, the whole town is waiting for the explosion. Sage Woodson didn't come back to Liberty Creek to fall in love. She came to bury her grandfather, sell his estate, and get back to her life as a high-powered Chicago ER nurse. She has a plan, a timeline, and zero patience for the locals. Especially not for the arrogant Fire Captain driving a midnight-blue F-150 who thinks he owns the road. Captain Connor Stapleton is used to being the hero. He's used to respect. He is not used to a curly-haired tourist publicly questioning his manhood in a crowded coffee shop parking lot. They were supposed to be enemies. But when Sage inherits her grandfather's rusted-out 1969 Chevelle, she realizes the only mechanic in town skilled enough to save it is the very man she swore to avoid. A wager is struck: Connor has one week to get the engine running. If he fails, Sage leaves for good. If he succeeds? She owes him a date. But late nights in a humid garage have a way of blurring the lines between fighting and flirting. As the engine roars to life, so does a possessive, feral hunger that neither of them expected. Connor doesn't just want a date. He wants to ruin her for anyone else. And Sage is realizing that the only thing scarier than leaving... might be staying. Small town. Big truck. Massive attitude.

Sasha Michael thought she had everything, a loving husband, a comfortable life, and a family who adored her. But when the truth about her marriage shatters the world she built, she's forced to make an impossible choice: protect the people who turned their backs on her... or protect herself. In a battle between love, loyalty, and survival, Sasha must decide how much she's willing to lose before she finally walks away.
