Malaina Chastain has her life perfectly planned. Pre-vet track, 4.0 GPA, complete STEM requirements. And absolutely, positively, no distractions-especially not football players. But when she's assigned to tutor running back Choi Seo Joon in organic chemistry, her carefully controlled world starts to unravel. He's patient where others are pushy. Thoughtful where others are thoughtless. And he looks at her like she's more than just the perfect student everyone expects her to be. There's just one problem: she's supposed to be getting back together with her ex, Cooper - the safe choice, the expected choice, the one her family and friends have already planned her future around. Between debutante ball practices with the wrong guy, stolen moments with the right one, and a viral video that exposes feelings she's been trying to deny, Malaina has to decide: keep being perfect, or start being happy. Because sometimes the biggest risk isn't falling for the wrong person. It's falling for the right one. ✨ A clean slow-burn college romance about finding yourself, defying expectations, and discovering that home isn't a place-it's a person. ✨ Updates on Friday (and more often when I get free time)!

Unable to control the elements or shift into birds of prey, Sana Lightbourne is a scab on her noble family's legacy. They cast her out to marry Lord Rhyel, the cold, fearsome ruler of House Darcanos. If the northern tyrant doesn't kill her for being useless, whatever lurks within his northern shadows will. While the Alpha wolf of Darcanos craves a true mate, he doesn't need another meaningless betrothal, especially not to a daughter from the overzealous House Lightbourne. Meeting Sana in the clutches of a golem, Rhyel's plagued with an unusual yearning to protect the scrawny, malnourished woman. When Sana becomes the chosen soul of a powerful ancient moth, she may not be as ungifted as she or her family believes. As Sana and Rhyel's relationship blooms and her gifts awaken, they attract the attention of House Darcanos' rival, House Issian-igniting a centuries-old feud between the wolves, the chimera, and the wraiths living in the beyond eager to consume her soul. ******* Highest Ranking #3 in Shifter #3 in Romantasy #4 in Interracial

Feral Temptations --------- Naomi only wanted to teach children not to fear the world they were growing up in. But fear still holds power. Especially in this new era, where werewolves have stepped out of the shadows. In a society gripped by old prejudices and quiet panic, Naomi's compassion is seen as dangerous. When her human school turns against her, she's offered a position she never imagined: teaching at an all-werewolf school, deep within a territory ruled by the powerful Alpha Silas. Silas leads with strength and silence, haunted by loss and hardened by duty. He has no interest in human interference, especially not from a teacher sent by the government to pacify his people. And certainly not the one now responsible for his daughter. But some boundaries were never meant to hold against feral temptations. -------------- Cover by Me Do not steal my work All Rights Reserved.

"You don't get to choose freedom after I've chosen you." Love was never part of the plan. Neither was consent. For Mikolaj Kuznetsov, control is currency. Power is inherited, enforced, and protected at all costs. What he takes, he keeps. What belongs to him does not leave. Malayia was never meant to be seen only contained. Taken from her life and locked inside an estate built on silence and money, she becomes a possession disguised as a privilege. Dressed, fed, watched. Paraded through luxury that feels more like a cage than comfort. Everyone assumes she'll break quietly. They're wrong. Malayia doesn't submit easily. She doesn't soften on command. Every smile is forced. Every moment of calm is borrowed. And the more Mikolaj tries to mold her into something obedient, the more she reminds him that obedience was never promised. What begins as control curdles into fixation. What should have stayed transactional becomes personal. Because Malayia is not fragile. She is not grateful. And she is not blind to the blood on his hands. In a world ruled by men who mistake ownership for devotion, the line between protection and possession blurs beyond recognition. And when power, violence, and desire collide, survival isn't about escape anymore. It's about who bends first. And who burns everything down trying not to. WARNING: This story contains dark themes, obsession, sexual tension, and explicit scenes. Reader discretion is advised.

Kahlani never meant to fall for Mateo, the Hispanic football star who only dates within his race. She was never supposed to matter. Just the best friend in the background. The secret. The girl he reaches for in the dark and ignores in public. One night changes everything. She gives him her first time. He gives her lies, broken promises, and just enough attention to keep her coming back. Every. Single. Time. Even after he hurts her, even after he chooses someone else, she always returns. Because loving Mateo is an addiction disguised as romance and she's hooked. Ever wondered what it's like to be the other woman? To crave someone who will never truly be yours? To stay, knowing you're not the priority, but hoping he'll eventually change? This isn't a love story. It's obsession, manipulation, and destruction wrapped up in desire. Secrets this ugly never stay buried, and when they surface, someone's heart won't survive. 🚨Fair warning: this is not your typical cute, lovey-dovey romance. This story is raw, messy, toxic and emotionally intense. You'll laugh, cry, get angry, feel hope, and feel heartbreak. So please read at your own discretion. With that being said... let's dive in. I hope you enjoy every twisted moment.🚨
