Matteo Russo does not marry for love. He marries for legacy, stability, and obligation-to his name, his family, and the old-world rules he was raised to obey. Camille Rhodes does not marry for security. She marries for access, capital, and time-to build something of her own without interference. Their agreement is simple, deliberate, and written in ink. Nothing more is promised. Their marriage is pristine on paper and distant behind closed doors. Separate lives. Separate ambitions. Public perfection. Private restraint. As Camille builds her company and Matteo fortifies his empire, they learn each other in silences, in proximity, in the spaces where rules blur but aren't yet broken. What was meant to be temporary begins to feel... complicated. When the contract nears its end, everything they've avoided must be confronted. Because once the ink dries and the terms expire, they are no longer bound by obligation-only by choice. And some decisions are far more dangerous when they're freely made.

She rules the city with her mouth stained red and her hands clean of mercy. Seraphine rouge isn't a legend, but a law. An immortal vampire queen who feeds in velvet-lined rooms, seals contracts in blood, and decides who lives long enough to beg. Nightclubs are her altars. Red envelopes are her verdicts. If you receive one, your fate has already been chosen. She does not give her body without taking something in return. But there was always someone who disobeyed. Kingston Blackwell, a human kingpin with a drug empire, dirty money, and a hunger that rattles her more than the smell of blood. Kingston is violent, obsessive, and dangerously unafraid. Their connection is toxic and consuming; he wants to own her, and she wants to ruin him. And then there is Lucian Fox. The enemy's son. The forbidden love. His desire for her is quieter, deadlier, and written in prophecy sealed in blood magic rituals that feel far too intimate. Loving him could start a war, and his touch could end the world. As witches betray, demons collect their debts, bodies pile up, and the city begins to bleed. Seraphine is forced to confront the one thing no crown can protect them from. Because power is intoxicating, love is weakness, and the queen who lets herself burn, everything she rules with her. This is not a love story. This is a story about obsession, dominance, and the cost of sitting on a throne soaked in blood.

India learned early how to survive by paying attention. Growing up in a small, rough city taught her when to speak, when to soften, and when to protect herself. She carries those instincts into corporate spaces that were never designed with her in mind. Alex has never needed to adapt. Power comes naturally to him. Raised in legacy and expectation, he leads with quiet authority, keeping his emotions tightly controlled and his personal life even more so. When their worlds collide, attraction becomes something neither can name without consequence. Identity, power, and unspoken desire blur the lines they've spent years maintaining.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇- Everyone believes Nyelle Carter is just the girlfriend. The kind of woman men overlook. The kind they talk around instead of to. The kind who listens quietly while power moves past her. Isaiah Rowan has spent five years undercover, building a case that finally feels close enough to touch. A respected club owner by night, a detective by training, he knows how to read people, knows when to trust his instincts. What he doesn't expect is Nyelle. She isn't reckless. She isn't loud. And she isn't as unaware as she pretends to be. Their connection isn't planned. It isn't safe. And it isn't supposed to last. But in a world built on secrets, proximity becomes dangerous, affection becomes complicated, and silence begins to mean more than truth.

After a brutal car crash, Lyric wakes up with no memory-- and a man claiming to be her husband. Malik Carter is charming, rich, and devoted. He says they were in love. He says she safe now. But if that's true? Why does her soul scream every time he touches her?
