Valleria never meant to fall for them. She only wanted revenge. After her mother's death, the quiet healer hires a band of mercenaries to help her destroy the man who once owned her-the cruel plantation lord who shattered her past. But when she discovers he's her father, everything unravels. Including her resolve. Because the men she hired? They're impossible to resist: • Meredith, the fierce leader whose dominance ignites something primal in her • Kaigan, the rogue who flirts like it's foreplay and lies like it's love • Davur, the gentle giant whose soft touch belies his brutal strength • Ahfi, the dark mage whose magic coils around her like a lover's whisper As danger closes in, so do they-each mercenary pulling her deeper into a web of desire, devotion, and slow-burning seduction. Valleria thought she was in control. But in their arms, she's unraveling... and she's starting to like it. Four mercenaries. One mission. And a healer caught between vengeance and the kind of pleasure that could ruin her. Love and vengeance is never black and white.

Three years ago, Crown Prince Andrew of Avaloria vanished without a trace. One moment, he was the future of the kingdom-the next, a ghost in the wind. Despite endless searches, no one has seen or heard from him since. The royal family remains silent. The people demand answers. Veronica Neale has only known the quiet life behind the walls of St. Augustine's Orphanage. Her days are filled with books, whispered dreams, and the steady presence of her closest friends: Finn Harren and Levi Sinclair. But when Levi begins acting strangely-distant, guarded, like someone carrying a secret-Veronica starts to wonder if she ever really knew him at all. Then everything changes. A single discovery sends Veronica and Levi fleeing into a world of danger and rebellion. They're swept into the heart of a kingdom in turmoil, where a powerful advisor named Lord Vale is quietly tightening his grip on the throne, and the only way to stop him may be to uncover hidden truths.

Nineteen-year-old Amara hoped Eldermire Academy would be different. After a brutal high school experience among cold-hearted Strigoi elites, she's finally free to be herself. At Eldermire-a prestigious university for witches, vampires, fae, and everything in between-she's determined to blend in, maybe even thrive. To her surprise, she does. The classes are strange but exciting. Her roommate is a walking magical disaster, but in an oddly endearing way. She makes friends, joins the cheer team, even catches the eye of someone special. And sure, her old high school bully is on campus too-still cruel, still relentless-but this time, Amara doesn't back down. This time, she knows how to bite back. For once in her life, everything seems... right. Until it isn't. There are blackouts. Dreams that feel too real. Things she doesn't remember doing. Whispers in the dark, just out of reach. Something ancient is stirring beneath the surface of her perfect new life, and it's watching her through her own eyes. Eldermire promised a new beginning. But something wanted her there. And it wants more than blood.

⚠️ This story contains themes of violence, trauma, and emotional abuse. Reader discretion is advised. 💚 Also includes intense banter, revenge plots, and Slytherins being Slytherins, proceed with caution (and maybe popcorn). Sheri watched her mother die at her father's wand. Watched the blood soak their home. Then he turned on her and tried to brand her with the Dark Mark. She ran. She survived. She started writing names. Now, she hides at Hogwarts. Quiet. Observant. Lethal. Girls pay her in galleons to make the boys who broke them regret it. It's revenge. It's a warning. It's her way of staying alive. And then there's him. Mattheo Riddle. The Dark Lord's son with a knife in his coat and a storm behind his eyes. He threatens. She retaliates. He corners. She bleeds and smiles. He held the knife. She wrote the end. But neither of them are ready for what's coming.
