An impossible debt. A dangerous offer. A love that could ruin or redeem them. For her entire life, Amara Johnson has lived in a bubble. Sheltered and coddled by her loving but average family, her world is small, safe, and predictable. That all shatters when she follows her brother to Tokyo for a fresh start. But her brother's secret gambling habit plunges them into a nightmare. He didn't just borrow money-he borrowed from Kenzo Sato, the most feared and powerful Oyabun of the Yakuza in Japan. Now, to protect her brother's life, Amara must leave her quiet job at the bank and work off his massive debt in Kenzo's front: an exclusive, members-only cafe in the heart of Shinjuku. She's out of place, naive, and terrified. And she's utterly captivating to him. Kenzo Sato is a vision of controlled chaos-sharp suits over intricate tattoos, a piercing gaze that sees everything, and a billionaire empire built on power and respect. He is everything her sheltered life taught her to fear. To Amara, he's utterly terrifying. To Kenzo, she's an exotic breath of fresh air-a innocence he never knew he craved. He makes her a new offer: become his exclusively. His companion. His obsession. In return, her brother's debt vanishes and she will want for nothing. It's a gilded cage that promises to lift her from poverty and change her life forever. Caught between fear and a fierce, unexpected attraction, Amara must navigate a world of danger, luxury, and dark desire. Can her sheltered heart survive the ruthless world of the Yakuza? Or will the man who owns her debt also claim her heart?

When orphaned heiress Seraphina Ward returns to her family's crumbling estate to claim her inheritance, she finds more than dusty portraits and locked rooms-she finds him. A mysterious man named Dorian who lives in the abandoned west wing, bound to the house by a centuries-old curse. Dorian isn't a ghost, but he's not entirely human either. Cursed to serve the Ward bloodline for eternity after a forbidden love ended in bloodshed, he cannot leave the manor grounds. He's a secret passed down through generations, hidden away like shame. But Seraphina is different. She's drawn to his cold fury and impossible beauty. The more time they spend together, the more the line between captor and companion blurs. As she uncovers the truth of her family's legacy-and the price paid for power-she must choose: break the curse and set him free, or bind him to her forever... no matter the cost.

In the shadowed world of Fyrm, vampires reign and humans survive. Luna DuPont, born blind with snow-white hair, has lived her life hidden, protected from the attention her strange appearance might draw. But fate doesn't care for safety-and neither does the ancient vampire king who senses her presence long before he knows her name. When desperation leads Luna into the heart of a castle ruled by cruelty, she expects to serve. She doesn't expect to be claimed. Not by the most feared creature alive. Not by the one who feels drawn to her in ways he cannot explain. As war brews between tradition and change, Luna must navigate a dangerous new world of blood, power, and forbidden connection. But some destinies are written in more than prophecy-some are written in blood. And love, in the unlikeliest of places, may be the most dangerous legacy of all.
