Known for his violent temper, brutal fights, and cold personality, people stayed far away from him for a reason. At twenty-four years old, Zane had already built a reputation for himself both inside and outside the cage. Covered in tattoos with intimidating olive-green eyes and a dangerous attitude, he was the type of man parents warned their daughters about. And honestly? They were right to. But Zane never cared what anyone thought about him. He hated feelings, avoided attachments, and had no interest in love. Until he saw her, Amara Yves. The soft-spoken nineteen-year-old girl who showed up at one of his matches with her friend. With dark doe eyes, long black curls, and the sweetest smile he had ever seen, Amara was everything Zane wasn't. Gentle. Feminine. Innocent. The kind of girl who spent her time reading books, drinking iced coffee, and seeing good in everyone. She was too soft for his world. And the worst part? Zane couldn't stay away from her. For the first time in his life, he wanted something he knew he would ruin. The more he pushed her away, the more obsessed he became. Because no matter how dangerous he was... Amara made him feel human again. But monsters don't deserve soft girls. And Zane Galanis knew better than anyone that loving him came with consequences. To the world, he was dangerous. To her, he was just Zane. He spent his whole life fighting everyone around him. Until he met the girl who made him fight himself instead. Starting date - May 14th, 2026

"Were you following me?" "Not everything is about you." Jackson's Hollow is a tiny, middle-of-nowhere town in the middle of the Smoky Mountains, which is what 18-year-old Jo Scott needs right now. Less people, more space, less chances for whatever happened that night in the alley to happen again. All she needs to do is relax. Except from almost the moment she gets there, she's constantly running into Ryker Monroe, and being around him is frustrating, exciting, aggravating, invigorating and anything but relaxing. Not to mention how distracting those overcast, stormy eyes and that lean, muscle-bound body are. Son of the current alpha, 19-year-old Ryker Monroe isn't looking for a mate, especially a human one. Right now, he's just trying to learn how to lead and not get into a territory war with the pack that's been edging into his land. But he can't keep his eye off the new girl in town--besides being his mate, there's just something more to the brown-eyed beauty who keeps him laughing than meets the eye, he's sure of it. Unable to resist the magnetism drawing them to each other, sparks are definitely going to fly... COMPLETED!

Kylee Pierce has survived more than most could bear. A broken past. A lost child. Parents who abandoned her when she needed them most. Becoming pregnant should have been the beginning of her forever-but instead, it cost her everything. The baby she loved was taken from her in an instant, and the life she thought she was building collapsed with it. But Ky didn't break. She rebuilt. She carved out a life on her own terms and became a woman who knows her worth-one who refuses to shrink or bend for anyone... even the man who has haunted her heart for years. Dex Williams has loved her from the start. But loving his sister's best friend was never an option-so he buried it and built walls thick enough to keep them both safe. Until one terrifying moment a year ago, when Ky ran into danger without hesitation... and he nearly lost her forever. In that instant, everything became clear: she is his. But loving Ky means risking everything he's spent years protecting. Years ago, Dex loved another woman. Scarlett was kind, full of promise-until an accident stole pieces of her memory and left Dex drowning in guilt he's never escaped. Since then, he's lived half-guarded, afraid that loving again means losing everything. Now Ky is walking away-because she refuses to chase a man who won't choose her. And for the first time, Dex realizes that loving her means facing the past he's been running from... before it costs him the one person who still believes in him. Can Dex and Ky finally give themselves the chance at love they've been too afraid to take? Or will guilt, grief, and heartbreak pull them apart before they ever truly begin? All Rights Reserved.

It started with a key. A simple, harmless gesture or so he said. Christina was just his childhood best friend. The girl who "had always been there." The one he trusted. The one he couldn't turn away. And I tried. I tried to be understanding. I tried to be secure. I tried to believe that love meant trust. But how do you trust when another woman walks into your home like she belongs there? When she knows his silences better than you do? I'm not losing him in loud, obvious ways. I'm losing him in glances. In quiet moments. In the space where I used to exist. Now, we live under the same roof. Him. Me. And the girl who was "never supposed to be a problem." But the worst part? He still calls her his best friend. And I'm starting to feel like the other woman in my own marriage.

Prologue She was unconscious for four days. No one from her family came to see her. Her heart broke. She was in the hospital, yet no one cared enough to visit. Even after everything that had happened to her, she remained alone. As she walked slowly through the hospital corridor, her legs weak and her body aching, she saw them-her family. They stood there, talking in hushed voices. Relief and pain twisted inside her as she limped toward them. Then, without warning, a sharp slap struck her cheek. She stood frozen, numb not from the impact but from the words that followed. "Are you at peace finally? She has been raped because of you. Look at her condition, she is dying." A broken smile formed on her lips. Anyone could see her own ruined state-anyone but them. Once again, they had played their game. Once again, she was the one proven guilty. She wanted to scream, to tell them the truth. "It wasn't her who was raped. It was ME." But no words came out. Only silence.

They kissed like I wasn't even there. I smiled - because that's what girls with broken hearts do. We smile. We toast bread for traitors. I pretend. But it still hurts. It really freaking hurts.

Unforgivable Series #4 I thought there was no deep connection like an emotional connection. And I thought that marrying my crush, first and Only boyfriend was the start of a forever. But he took our sacred bond for granted, and destroyed it in such a brutal way I could feel it on my bones. It spread through my body and soul like a disease. And I discovered, how Cheating, in any form or coated by any excusing justifications is still as destructing. Sometimes, to the point it becomes Cureless. Especially if it's your sister and his best friend of three decades
