"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars. But when her parents are declared dead and the world turns against her found family, she realizes survival is no longer enough, she needs to fight. Raised as assassins, her adoptive brothers have spent years keeping her in the dark, but now? Now, she's in the center of the storm. Wanted by the government. Hunted by the man who created her. And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.

Emily has grown up in foster care her entire life. No family. No friends. No one who's ever stayed long enough to matter. Just Emily. Alone. Unwanted. Unremarkable. Until the day a man in a suit shows up at her door... and everything she thinks she knows shatters. Her real name isn't the one she's been using. Her life wasn't an accident. She wasn't abandoned. She was hidden. Hidden from a family that has been searching for her. Hidden from enemies older than history. Hidden from a destiny that should never have reached her. Because Emily Ashford isn't human. She's the last surviving heir of a forgotten Alpha bloodline - a legacy powerful enough to challenge kings and awaken ancient forces long buried. And Blackvale University, the prestigious supernatural academy buried deep in the mountains, has been waiting for her return. But nothing shocks her more than him. Lucian Blackthorn. Future Alpha King. Arrogant. Beautiful. Untouchable. And the moment he sees her, something in him breaks. He's drawn to her. Haunted by her. Terrified of what she means. Because Emily isn't just important - she's his mate. Fated. Bound to him long before they were born. Destined to either save their world... or destroy it. Emily doesn't know who she's supposed to be. Lucian doesn't know how to let her go. And the bond pulling them together is only growing stronger... and hotter. She was hidden to protect her. He'll burn the world to keep her. Some girls are born ordinary. Emily Ashford was born marked by fate

'He hit me, and it felt like a kiss.' Cadence Levana Solace, seventeen years old, the bastard child of the ex-don of the Italian mafia. Born of mistakes and raised by hate, she is now a force to be reckoned with. Growing up with no knowledge of her biological mother, having to deal with the scrutiny of her stepmother and half-brothers, and the abuse of her father, impacts her dearly. Now, at the ripe age of eight, she's being sent away by her family to a boarding school. Due to the reckless endeavors of her fathers late night, drunken research, she is sent off to a boarding school for assassins. Years of torture and assualt leads Cade to become the most feared being in the underworld/mafia and the unofficial Queen of the underworld. Life is going...well enough for Cade when an anonymous tip leads to the school being under investigation and temporarily shut down. Now she's back with the family who sent her away. But here's the thing, my dear readers; I created this book with the romance and couple in mind. Not the family. This book isn't about Cade going back to being a victim who just takes the hits and insults like that's all she can do. No, this book is about her becoming the abuser, about her being hit and hitting back and fucking loving it. About her being choked, thrust into, and fucked without her consent, so she does it back. And she doesn't leave the relationship. Because in this book, pain doesn't mean leaving, it means wanting to bruise everywhere so that the next time they look in the mirror, they see who they belong to written all over their body. This, Dearest readers, is the Tale of Wrath. Book One in the 'Tale Of Sins' Series. All the books in that series can be read as a standalone and are not interconnected, despite having a few easter eggs.

'There are only two ways to survive in my world: kill or be killed. And as far as I'm concerned, they don't plan on killing me anytime soon...' Athena Everford understands pain better than most people understand love. At seventeen, she has memorized it. The rhythm of footsteps in a hallway. The warning in a voice before it changes. The way bruises bloom and fade. Patterns are comforting. They make chaos predictable. She could have left her foster home at any time. She chose not to. When her foster parents die, the silence feels wrong. Too wide. Too empty. A DNA test reveals she is the missing daughter of one of the most powerful Italian Mafia families in the world. They welcome her back with warmth and relief, mistaking her stillness for fragility. They think they rescued a broken girl. They did not. Athena is the Donna of the Greek Mafia, ruling from the shadows while men pretend to hold power. She is Nyx, an assassin spoken about only in whispers. Control is everything. Pain is useful. It sharpens her. Grounds her. Keeps the emptiness away. Then a man from her past returns. Quiet. Patient. He understands that her tolerance for suffering is not endurance. It is appetite. He does not try to destroy her. He gives her what she wants. As her family watches the subtle shift in her smile, Athena begins to blur the line between survival and desire, between punishment and permission. The question is not whether she can escape the darkness. It is whether she ever intended to. Start date: 12/07/2026 Finish date: ??

QUEENS OF CHOAS SERIES PREQUEL!!! Once upon a time, a girl was sent away. No trial. No second chance. Just a story everyone believed because it was easier that way. Five years later, she comes back. This is the part where, in a Disney movie, she'd forgive everyone, hug her family, and learn the power of love. Instead, Gianna De Santis learns how to break bones, keep secrets, and survive rooms that were never meant to be safe. The family expects a villain. The kingdom expects obedience. And some Princes are not always charming . There are no fairy godmothers here. Only men with power, women with knives, and lies that refuse to stay buried. And while everyone's busy wondering if Gianna is still dangerous- They forget to ask the real question: What happens when the girl they tried to erase comes back sharper... and finally decides to stop being nice? Because this isn't a Disney movie. And the girl who survived the tower doesn't believe in happily ever after- She believes in consequences.

Four years ago, Valentina Coppola was erased from the life she used to know. Accused of pushing her twin sister down the stairs of their home, she was sent to a boarding school for ill mannered ladies in Stockholm. An academy shaped like a prison. Years after the fall, she is brought back to Italy so that amends can be made. Older. Sharper. And still helplessly hurt by what happened years ago, Valentina must learn to navigate life with the brothers that didn't believe her, a father who shipped her away, and a twin sister who hides behind a fabricated lie. This time, Valentina has secrets of her own.

Giyushino A harmless little road trip. One luxury resort. Three couples. Warm tea, sharp smiles, late-night tension. It was supposed to be relaxing. It was anything but relaxing. From Tomioka speeding to sanemi being physically held back from committing mutter. Tempers rise. Jealousy slips into the air like perfume. And the six idiots-turn the entire trip into a beautiful disaster. Messy. Addictive. Dangerous in the most intoxicating way. The kind of chaos that makes your chest ache, your jaw drop, and somehow still leaves you begging for one more chapter. Ofc Giyushino~ Sanekane~ Obamitsu~ 💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙 You put a spell on me I'm losing my mind You better stop things It's a matter of time Before I hunt you down Grab your chin And kiss your lips You bring me back I lay you down And grab your hips And we lose all control And before you know it I put a spell on you (You Put A Spell On Me-Austin G.)
