For eighteen months, Samara has loved Luke wholeheartedly. She's ignored the uncomfortable feelings, swallowed her doubts, and convinced herself that Ari, Lukes sister's best friend was simply part of the package. Ari has always been there. Always taking up more space in Luke's life than any "friend" should. And every time Samara questioned it, Luke had an excuse ready. Ari was just blunt, Ari didn't mean anything by it. Ari was family. Ari had always been around. Then one recorded conversation is sent to Samara.

If you're looking for a good heroine to root for... this is not the story for you. I don't believe in forgiveness. Only in getting even. I've lied, manipulated, destroyed lives- and I'd do it all again. To me, love was a game, sex was a weapon, and children... leverage. Until I died. I thought hell was waiting for me. Instead, I was given a choice. A broken mother begged me to save her daughter- the daughter we shared. My Chloé. Reborn in a world where she was doomed to suffer again. So I took the deal. Not to be better. Not to be forgiven. But because this time- my sins will have a purpose. I became the Villainess Queen. And I will give my daughter the life she deserves. Even if I have to destroy a kingdom to do it.

She lost her mother. Then she lost her home. What she didn't expect was to lose the last version of herself she still recognized. When eighteen-year-old Trinity is sent from the Bronx to the middle of nowhere Georgia, she isn't looking for a fresh start-she's just trying to survive the aftermath of grief that doesn't fit inside her anymore. The silence is too loud. The air feels чужer in her lungs. And the family that takes her in is kind... in a way that makes her feel even more like she doesn't belong. Uncle Blake calls it home. Aunt Maddie calls it healing. Eight-year-old Liv calls it family. But Trinity can't shake the feeling that she is a guest in a life that was never meant to hold her. Then there's Arthur Brandreth. Maddie's brother. The man who runs the farm like it's an extension of his own body. Controlled. Quiet. Unreadable. He doesn't look at her like she's fragile. He doesn't look at her like she's a child. And that is the most dangerous thing of all. Because grief changes people. It breaks them open. It rewrites what they notice. What they want. What they can no longer pretend not to feel. And in a house full of people trying to save her... Trinity starts to wonder if the thing she's falling into isn't safety at all. It's something far harder to survive. Because there are two kinds of love in this town. The kind that saves you. And the kind that ruins you quietly while calling it fate.

After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks.

I was never a woman who believed in promises. They always felt like wishes, soft things people made when they didn't know how else to hold on. Judas Mercer made them anyway. And somehow, he kept every single one. He waited for me when the world didn't. Built a life while I was still learning how to belong to one. Loved me in a way that I could finally trust. What I didn't realize was how much of our life already existed beyond me. How some bonds didn't begin with us but were already settled and familiar. She was a presence that had always been there. The woman from our past and our present woven into the spaces I thought were ours alone, standing there with us all along. Because Judas kept his promises. He just kept his secrets too. ~S~S~R~A~Y~N~E 🦋Perceived cheating 🦋Possessive MMC 🦋Dark romance themes 🦋high spice content
