At five, Clara Artese gets kidnapped from her family. At seventeen, she returns as a weapon. After twelve years in The Foundry, a secret organization that turns children into elite assassins, Clara has learned how to read every heartbeat, use her body to kill and her voice to manipulate. When her family finally finds her, Clara has only one non-negotiable condition: she won't go home without Silas and Vane, the two boys who survived the Foundry by her side. They are the only family she knows and she's ready to kill everyone who tries to separate them. The Arteses will do anything to have her back, even if it means taking two lethal strangers into their family. As a new mafia war looms and their past hunts them, Clara, Silas and Vane will learn that a family's love can be a lot more stubborn than whatever demon is chasing them. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Deadly Trio (Clara, Silas and Vane) share a strictly platonic bond. They are family, not lovers. Each of them will have their own separate love interest as the story progresses.

Ongoing | Livie Thatcher, Peyton Bardot, Beau Greye, Pierce Talvin| FMMM | ~ "You're a very competent young man, Mr. Bardot." He compliments me, one hand raising to cup the side of my neck, slowly squeezing the tender flesh. "I believe you can handle much more than you think." His voice softens and my brows crease together with confusion but I lean into him nevertheless. He's warm and sickeningly welcoming. His fingers dance up the side of my face, touching my ear before combing into my curls, my head tilts into his hand and my eyes flutter shut to trap the moisture there. "And I believe I can take care of you." His words come out wispy and hearty. ~ -No translations -Mature Content 18+ ~ Tags: BDSM dynamics, punishment/reward, dom x sub, mlm, free use/con-noncon, humiliation kink, cross dressing, degradation, orgasm torture, double/triple penetration, weapon play, clicker training, etc. ~ Book 2 in the More To Love collection | Can be read as a standalone ~ #2 in Free Use #1 in Professor X Professor

Xheva White has just lost her parents and had nowhere to go or anyone to turn to. She sat at a bar the night she had to leave her parents house. She met this dark and dangerous man to whom she had a one night stand with. Three months later she finds herself pregnant and broke with who she found out was Zane Lombardi's, child. The king of the mafia. Will he reject her? Will they fall in love?

When power kneels, it doesn't whisper-it roars in silence. He was the man who never bowed. The one empires obeyed and enemies feared. But behind closed doors, beneath layers of steel and silence, lived a hunger no throne could feed. This is not the story of a king who rose-it's the story of a man who fell... for her

She was the daughter no one fought for. The sister they left behind. Blamed, misunderstood, and quietly sent away to a hostel - while her brothers were celebrated, her silence was ignored. But what they thought would break her... built her. She found strength in strangers, love in the arms of someone who saw her, and brothers in boys who weren't bound by blood. Now she's back- Not for revenge, not for forgiveness. But to remind them what they lost... when they stopped choosing her.

Vaidehi Mehra had loved once-and lost more than she could bear. Betrayed by the man she trusted and wounded by the family meant to protect her, she walked away from the ruins with only one reason to keep going: her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Esha. Esha's laughter, tiny hands, and unquestioning love became the fragile thread holding Vaidehi's broken heart together. Marriage was never meant to be part of her story again. Not after the betrayal. Not after the whispers. But one careless photograph and one malicious rumor are enough to undo everything she rebuilt. What begins as office gossip spirals into public scandal, dragging her dignity through headlines and threatening her career-and worse, her daughter's future. When reputation becomes survival, a solution is offered. Simple. Strategic. Respectable. Marriage. Vikram Khanna is the last man Vaidehi would ever choose to depend on. A self-made billionaire, disciplined, distant, and fiercely private, he has built his empire alone-and planned to keep his life that way. Their union is nothing more than damage control: a contractual arrangement designed to silence speculation and restore order. But neither of them accounts for Esha. With her innocent eyes and fearless affection, Esha becomes the quiet bridge between two guarded adults. As Vaidehi struggles with scars from her past and Vikram maintains the emotional walls that have always protected him, the boundaries of their arrangement begin to blur. What starts as strategy slowly begins to feel like shelter. What begins as obligation starts resembling belonging. A Home We Didn't Plan is a story of resilience before romance, of a child's innocence melting the coldest defenses, and of two people who never intended to build a family-yet may discover that love sometimes grows where it was never meant to.
