DARK REVERSE HAREM WITH BILLIONAIRE VIBES | I was the queen of the most elite brothel on the East Coast until five billionaire brothers claimed me. Now I'm trapped in a Manhattan penthouse, bound by a year of obedience in exchange for my freedom. The deal is brutal: no trial, no escape. Just one gilded cage and five devils in tailored suits. They want my body. My soul. My surrender. And they'll use whatever it takes-control, games, or heat-to get it. But I didn't survive the streets, the secrets, and the scars by bending. And while they think they're watching me... I'm hiding something that could burn their empire to the ground. If they find out, they won't break me. They'll bury me.

When a murder shakes her tiny village, Alera will discover a horrifying link between the scars on her arms and the werewolves and vampires that stalk her home. ***** Nineteen-year-old Alera has grown up in the village of Adaymos, listening to stories about the monsters that live in the forest that surround her home. Labelled an outcast because of the scars on her arm, she's an easy scapegoat after one of the villagers is found murdered, but when newcomer Will is framed instead she's forced to question everything she knows about the mysterious outsider. Could he really be the killer? Or is he hiding more about the werewolves and vampires that live in the forest -- and the truth behind Alera's scars -- than he lets on?
