[𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐆𝐄] ❝Hey,❞ I breathe. My fake husband grabs my hip with a bruising, strong grip. My flesh between his fingers feels like heaven to me. I love provoking him like that. This shy, innocent guy that has no business making me feel such desire. His eyes track my body down nervously, every inch of my skin. I skim his nose slowly with my fingers, pushing his glasses up. His breath hitches. He lets out a raspy moan against my neck when I grind down on his lap through his work slacks. I want him so badly, my body flush against his hard torso. I want all of him. But it's too soon. Too rushed. I can't. - In which Love Harmon, a seductive enigma, enters an unlikely, arranged marriage with Theo Langdon, an innocent, shy analyst. - Highest Rankings: #1 nymph #3 naughty #5 badgirlgoodboy #6 temptation #7 seduction #8 married #10 fakemarriage #23 husband #25 arranged #32 lust #53 sweet

"In the city of shadows, debt is a death sentence. For me, it's a career." When my father died, he didn't leave a will. He left a red silk-bound ledger - a record of every sin, secret, and life he helped bury for the Li family. Now the Princes of the North have come to collect. To protect the only family I have left, I have to step into the role my father died trying to escape. A photographer of scandals. A wiper of digital footprints. A fixer of the... questionable. Li Wei - the cold-blooded heir to the Li empire - thinks I belong to him. Just another asset in a dynasty built on secrets. But the girl who sees everything through the lens is far more dangerous than he realizes. Because the Red Silk Ledger doesn't just record debts. It exposes the truth. And if the Li empire wants me to keep their secrets... they're going to learn what happens when the ghost starts writing her own.

In the walled city of Veylin, memories are currency. The wealthy hoard them, the poor trade them just to survive, and the government controls them all. A single stolen recollection can cost you your life. Cara Ray has spent years in the shadows, dealing in black-market memories, extracting and selling stolen moments to those desperate enough to pay. She despises the elite who never have to know what it's like to forget their own past just to scrape by. And no one infuriates her more than Caleb Morrow-the cold, calculating son of Veylin's Memory Commissioner, a man who's never had to lift a finger to survive. Caleb has never known hunger or the harsh realities of the streets. He's spent his life in the luxury of the city's upper echelons, shielded from the brutal truths of the world below. But when he learns that his mother's memories were erased by the government-and that she's still alive, somewhere in Veylin, living under control-his world is upended. To find her, Caleb needs help. The one person who could assist him is Cara. But she's no ally. She's everything he's been taught to despise. When Caleb tracks Cara down, forcing her into an uneasy alliance neither of them wants, their rivalry turns into something far more complicated. Both are caught in a game of survival-one trying to recover what was stolen, the other fighting to keep her own secrets buried. And as the stakes get higher, Cara begins to see Caleb as more than just a privileged enemy. But trust is a luxury neither can afford, and with each step toward the truth, their fragile truce begins to crack. In Veylin, memories are worth more than gold, and the line between enemy and ally is thin-especially when hearts are on the line.

"In a genre-defying twist on the dark romance archetype, Reven's Rites introduces a groundbreaking, original concept-a dark fantasy narrative unlike anything ever told." 🥀 ─────────── ♰ ─────────── 🥀 The Debt was a Lie. Her Price is a Curse. Liora was a journalist who specialized in stripping away the masks of the powerful to find the truth. Now, she is the ultimate lie-framed for a crime she didn't commit, debt-bound, and sold to the highest bidder at a secret All Souls' Masquerade. Her buyer is not one tyrant, but four. Four brothers who share a terrifying resemblance and a deadly, possessive hunger. The Rites 🖤 Reven claims Liora's bloodline cursed his, and she is bound by a non-negotiable blood oath to pay the price. Forced into twisted, erotic Rites, Liora is used as a tool to extract secrets buried in her very soul. She is an enemy to be broken, a commodity to be traded, and a possession to be used. The Paradox 🥀 But in the suffocating gothic shadows, Liora feels a magnetic "Pull" she cannot explain-an unwanted, explosive ecstasy that ignites every time Reven touches her. She makes a vow in the darkness: I will make the Warlock-Tyrant crave the messy transaction himself. She doesn't know that her forced surrender is the only thing that can break the spell. And as the Rites escalate, the journalist who sought the truth realizes the most dangerous lie isn't the one they told her-it's the one she's telling herself. This is not your regular Beauty & The Beast Fairytale... or your typical reverse harem novel. Everything is not as it seems... TRIGGER WARNING: Reven's Rites is an explicit Dark Fantasy Romance intended for mature audiences. It contains themes of non-consensual sexual situations (NC/DC), psychological torment, physical violence, and magically induced arousal.

They say Saedo University is the pinnacle of the elite. To me, it's just a playground for expensive monsters. The F4 doesn't just run the school; they run the city: Han Su-gang. Dao Ming Si. Lee Mun-gi. Yun Ga-min. I didn't transfer here for a degree. I transferred here because I'm trapped. I bought the family PC Bang back with my own sweat and "Algorithm" winnings, but the gym-my dad's legacy-is still in the Han family's pocket. The deal is simple: Attend Saedo. Maintain the scholarship. And every night at 9:00 PM, report to the gym to be Su-gang's personal sparring partner. I'm 5'4", I live on Monster-espresso mixes, and I'm not as innocent as I look. I've done questionable things that I'm still trying to outrun. Su-gang thinks he can claim me because of a piece of paper. He's about to find out that you can't own a glitch.
