Harmony Jordan is a sweet-natured, carefree sophomore with a heart too big for her own good. At twenty years old, she's just trying to survive college, keep her grades up, and avoid the chaos that seems to follow her two best friends. But one rainy morning changes everything. While taking an unfamiliar shortcut through the woods, Harmony stumbles upon a wounded man-tall, terrifying, and barely conscious. Against every instinct, she helps him. Nurses him. Hides him. And unknowingly brings a monster into her home. Eros Varric is no ordinary man. He's the last surviving Lycan King, feared for centuries, lost to time and legend. Cold, merciless, and shaped by war, he awakens in the care of a fragile human girl... and realizes something that shatters his world: She's his mate. Bound by fate and ancient magic, Harmony is everything Eros never wanted-but everything his soul craves. As he heals, danger stirs. Old enemies resurface. And the quiet life Harmony once knew is swallowed whole by a world of secrets, pack politics, and creatures that go bump in the night. Now hunted and claimed, Harmony must decide: will she run from the beast in her bed-or rise beside the king who would burn the world for her?

Betrayed by her own family, Nina Storm is forced to marry in her sister's place- to the cursed Alpha whose wives all die on the eleventh day. They call Rodrigo Vermont a monster. A tyrant too hideous to face his own reflection. But the moment Nina finally lifts her eyes to him, she's dumbstruck. He is not disfigured. He is devastatingly handsome. And dangerously irresistible. ... "Look at me." Rodrigo's voice fills the room, deep, hoarse, commanding. Nina shivers as her gaze locks with his dark, hungry eyes. She tries to look away. He grips her chin, forcing her to hold his stare. "I'm going to do things to you," he drawls. " Things I shouldn't do if I were in my right mind." His jaw tightens. "Get up." She obeys, trembling. Her fingers clutch her nightie, trying to shield herself. "Take it off." His voice drops lower, rougher. Her breath catches-yet she moves. As though pulled by something she cannot fight. Rodrigo watches her rise, eyes trailing over her slowly, hungrily. Nina trembles, heat curling through her body, an ache she does not understand tightening in her core. "Come here." She steps toward him on unsteady legs. The moment she reaches him, Rodrigo grips her ankle, lifts her leg over him- and before she can even breathe, his mouth finds her. - Everyone expects her to die. But when the twelfth dawn breaks and Nina steps out alive, the entire pack erupts in chaos. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. Kidnapped as a child and tormented by voices he cannot silence, Alpha Rodrigo Vermont has lived in darkness all his life. No one dares get close-until his unruly new bride sleepwalks into his room before their wedding. Now he doesn't just want her. He craves her. He swears he will protect her from the curse that has destroyed every woman before her. But Nina will soon learn the truth: To love the cursed Alpha is to gamble with death itself.

It is forbidden. It should be impossible. But Lavena- a human- has been Marked: claimed forever as a dragons mate. And not just any dragon... the Dragon King, A man whose dark beauty and lethal power are only whispered about. Will this mark mean her end, or will it unlock a secret that could change everything?

My name is Isadora, but you can call me Isa-everyone else does. This is the story of my life, though I wouldn't call it a fairytale. I'm twenty-three years old, married to a man in his late thirties, and before you ask-no, it wasn't for love. I was sold to him. My father, once a kind and gentle man, became a stranger after my mother died. Within months, he remarried-the devil in silk and pearls, my stepmother-and she brought along her two wicked daughters. Overnight, my home turned into a cage. My father drank himself senseless and gambled until there was nothing left but debts and empty bottles. When we lost our home, I thought we had already fallen to rock bottom. I was wrong. Desperation drove him to bet what little we had left on a horse race. He trusted a friend who turned out to be a con artist. And the man he owed money to wasn't just anyone-he was Ambrose Blackwell, a name whispered like a curse. An assassin. A monster. A man who killed for pleasure and profit. When my father realized he couldn't repay his debt, he offered the only thing of value he had left-me. You'd think he would have pawned one of my vain stepsisters, but no. Ambrose refused them. He wanted me, and me alone. That's when I learned the truth: Ambrose had orchestrated everything. The bet. The loss. The debt. He had set the trap long before I even knew his name. All because, for reasons beyond my understanding, he wanted me in his world-his shadowed, merciless world. Now I'm bound to a man I should fear, but who watches me as if I'm the only thing that keeps him tethered to life. And though I try to hate him, I can't help but wonder-did the devil truly steal my freedom, or did he save me from a fate far crueler than his touch?

She thought she was free. Until a billionaire and his daughter saw her - and decided she was theirs. One wanted a wife. The other wanted a mother. Neither asked if she agreed. They watched her for two years. Followed her every move. Until one day, they flew across the world and bought her future - with smiles, paperwork, and charm that smelled like roses but felt like chains. Now, she sleeps in silk sheets she didn't choose. Wears clothes she didn't buy. Answers to a name she didn't earn. Every touch is a test. Every night is a transaction. And every whispered "I love you" is a warning. She hides pills beneath her tongue. She dreams of running. But there is no escape - only a cage made of wealth, obsession, and unbearable intimacy. Because he doesn't just want her body. He wants her compliance. Her mind. Her loyalty. Her womb. And when the daughter discovers the truth - she doesn't cry. She accuses. Now the doors are locked. The smiles are gone. And the only thing more terrifying than being watched... is being needed. This isn't love. This is possession with a wedding ring. This is family, twisted into obsession. This is what happens when a girl becomes the answer to someone else's madness. ---

"Shhh... take it like the good girl you are." "I'm a good girl?" I whispered. He gazed up at me, eyes glowing in amusement. "Do you want me to prove it to you?" My eyes glistened with his reflection. "I can prove it to you," he answered, "but I'll be mean about it." "How can you prove it to me...?" I asked him. He smirked. "Ahh, you're too innocent for your own good. Do you even recognize what I'm doing right now?" My eyes glittered. He smiled wickedly. "This." I gasped when something slid into a spot that had been left cold for years, catching the comforter to try to hold something as he started torturing me. "What did I say?" he responded, smiling up as I tried to breathe. "What did I say?" "Take it like a good girl," I responded. "Are you a good girl?" he asked me. I nodded numbly, trying to keep my composure. His eyes darkened with mischief. "Then prove it." When a girl who's secretly naughty meets a boy who's outwardly bad. And he knows what she does every night before bed. A somewhat slow burn mafia romance where a girl meets a mysterious savior who stands outside her window, covered in shadows. He vowed to protect her from the serial killer who'd been killing everyone she loved, and he didn't care how nervous she was around him. They belonged together. When a secret submissive meets her dominant soulmate. Things start to unfold. (Obsession is part of the Mafia Realm, but is not part of a series)
