Amorette Belrose drew the summoning circle in her own blood because she had nothing left to lose. No sister. No freedom. No name that wasn't written in a brothel's ledger. She expected a monster. She got a Prince. Azraith, Prince of Bonds, answers her call with four conditions: she will not run, she will not lie, she will not beg, and she will not go hollow. In return, he offers what no human has ever been given. A bilateral bond. A shared soul-link with a demon who has consumed four hundred and thirty-seven lives and has never once said the word love. But Amorette's debt to the Velvet House isn't the only chain around her throat. The man who murdered her sister still breathes. The brothel madam who sold her still profits. And the bond she forged in desperation is becoming something neither summoner nor demon negotiated for. Something that burns when they touch and aches when they don't. Something with teeth and tenderness and a price that neither of them can afford to pay. When Amorette is taken by the man who collects women the way other men collect butterflies, the bond shatters, and Azraith discovers that four thousand years of darkness taught him nothing about what he'd burn to get her back.

She was born with porcelain skin and gold in her veins, which made her a target from her first breath. Morana has survived the assassin's guild that raised her, the dragon who kept her caged for two years, and the five brutal years running from both. When a bounty hunter named Donomie captures her with promises of protection, she knows better than to believe him. She's right not to. He delivers her straight to the monster she escaped. But Donomie didn't count on falling in love with his prey. And he certainly didn't expect to fight his way into a dragon's lair, climb into the beast's throat, and nearly die to get her back. Now Morana faces an impossible choice: trust the man who betrayed her, or face the courts of Ashenmarch alone while a kingdom's worth of nobles scheme to control her and a vengeful dragon circles ever closer. She didn't survive seven years of running to become anyone's pawn. The king wants to make her his queen. The court wants to destroy her. And Morana? She's going to build a throne of her own from the ashes of everyone who underestimated the girl who bleeds gold.

The wolf didn't come to protect her anymore. He came to claim what fate had already decided was his. Elowen thought the creature at the edge of her property was only a strange kind of guardian-silent, watchful, almost gentle in the way he lingered in the tree line as if protecting her from something she couldn't name. Until the night he finally moved. Rain-dark air turns electric with instinct as those golden eyes burn with something feral and starving, and the distance between them shatters in a heartbeat. What follows isn't an attack, not truly-it's nature unleashed, a bond demanding to be sealed in the only language the beast understands. Elowen was never being hunted. She was being chosen. In the cold earth of the forest, fear and surrender blur together as something ancient awakens between them-teeth, hunger, heat, and a connection that feels less like violence and more like destiny snapping into place. And when the darkness takes her, Elowen understands one impossible truth: This wolf was never just a wolf. He has been waiting for her. And once the bond is made, it cannot be undone. Because whatever he is... he has marked her as his.

They wanted a weapon. They created a queen. Novalee Ashford had a simple life-a job she tolerated, a husband she adored, a future she believed in. Then Dante Santoro decided she was his. Ripped from everything she knew, Novalee is thrust into a world of violence, cruelty, and impossible choices. The Santoro family doesn't just want to own her body-they want to remake her soul. Under their brutal tutelage, she transforms from victim to weapon, from captive to bride. But Novalee has a secret: she remembers who she was. And she's planning something they never expected. Vengeance. With Atlas-the guard who was supposed to keep her caged-as her unlikely ally, Novalee plays the deadliest game of her life. Every smile hides a blade. Every submission masks rebellion. Every moment brings her closer to the reckoning they deserve. They wanted to create a monster. They succeeded.
