Emily has grown up in foster care her entire life. No family. No friends. No one who's ever stayed long enough to matter. Just Emily. Alone. Unwanted. Unremarkable. Until the day a man in a suit shows up at her door... and everything she thinks she knows shatters. Her real name isn't the one she's been using. Her life wasn't an accident. She wasn't abandoned. She was hidden. Hidden from a family that has been searching for her. Hidden from enemies older than history. Hidden from a destiny that should never have reached her. Because Emily Ashford isn't human. She's the last surviving heir of a forgotten Alpha bloodline - a legacy powerful enough to challenge kings and awaken ancient forces long buried. And Blackvale University, the prestigious supernatural academy buried deep in the mountains, has been waiting for her return. But nothing shocks her more than him. Lucian Blackthorn. Future Alpha King. Arrogant. Beautiful. Untouchable. And the moment he sees her, something in him breaks. He's drawn to her. Haunted by her. Terrified of what she means. Because Emily isn't just important - she's his mate. Fated. Bound to him long before they were born. Destined to either save their world... or destroy it. Emily doesn't know who she's supposed to be. Lucian doesn't know how to let her go. And the bond pulling them together is only growing stronger... and hotter. She was hidden to protect her. He'll burn the world to keep her. Some girls are born ordinary. Emily Ashford was born marked by fate

(BOOK 1 Of the QUEENS OF CHAOS SERIES) Isa Valen doesn't believe in restraint. Two weeks ago, she did champagne, a sinfully accented stranger, and a night so consuming she ran before sunrise. She doesn't remember his face. She doesn't remember his name. But her body remembers the way he made it burn. When her sister runs to New York, Isa follows without hesitation. New city. New job. New distractions. Then she meets her boss. Erik Orlov. Billionaire. Bratva Don. A devastatingly gorgeous tattooed man built from control and violence wrapped in tailored suits. The first time he looks at her, something tightens in her chest. The first time he steps close, her pulse betrays her. She doesn't recognize him. He recognizes the curve of her mouth. The sound she made when he touched her. The way she ran. The night she can't remember is the one he hasn't stopped replaying. Now she works beneath him - in his office, in his space, in his world. Every glance lasts too long. Every accidental touch feels deliberate. Every breath between them feels charged. And Erik Orlov does not chase. He claims. Enemies circle his empire. Loyalty fractures. Power shifts. But none of it unsettles him like the woman sitting across his desk, pretending she doesn't feel it too. Until two pink lines appear. Because the only thing more dangerous than their chemistry... Is the secret growing between them. And this time, he won't let her run.

Bottling up emotions is one of Danny's greatest skills. Since the age of 5, Danny has had to fend for himself in the rough environment of foster care. Each time he'd get a new foster family seemed to create more problems than it solved. He built up his walls. To the untrained eye, Danny was a straight A student, and a polite, kind, quiet teenager. It was the reputation he spent years creating. All he ever wanted was to not be seen as the "troubled foster kid." And it was a success. That is, until his biological father reached out and tore his walls down. Danny was more confused than ever. He had a family, 3 brothers, that he didn't even know existed. He couldn't help but feel jealousy at the thought that they were raised with his father while he struggled with abusive foster parents. He had one prominent question, though; just what exactly happened to his mother?
