Margo Voss came to Paris from Liège with her needles, her sketchbook, and the practical certainty that love was a thing that happened to women with fewer obligations. At twenty-three, she is the best seamstress at Maison Fouchard on the Rue Saint-Honoré, and she knows better than to look up from her work. Then Édouard Lafont walks through the atelier door to dispute an invoice. He is thirty-one, the heir to a textile empire, and engaged to someone else. She looks up. Some threads, once pulled, unravel everything.

Agnes Drummond married Callum Brodie to save her father from debtor's ruin. She expected cold civility. A roof. A name. She did not expect the portrait of his first wife in the hall, or the housekeeper who mourns her still, or the sister-in-law who arrives each month to remind Agnes she is a replacement for a woman the village has not finished grieving. She did not expect, either, that she might one day want him to look at her the way he looks at nothing. A marriage of necessity. A house full of ghosts. And two people too proud to admit they are already lost.

Who needs a reverse harem when he can clone himself? ✯✵✯✵✯ Althea Morgan has spent her life believing beasts exist only in movies-until her first love betrays her, leaving her homeless and desperate. When she accepts the only job that can put her life back together, she's thrust into a hidden world where magic is real, beasts walk among humans, and a curse marks her for something far worse than death. As Althea uncovers the truth about the curse, she realizes it's deeper and far more entangled in the world hidden beneath her own than she expected. She'll do whatever it takes to become human and free again. Cassian Ashcroft is the last Doppelgänger, and he's dying. Without an Anchor to heal his aura, he'll never live long enough to avenge his family or protect his kingdom. But Anchors vanished centuries ago, so when he crosses paths with Althea-a human woman with an ability much like theirs-letting her walk away is no longer an option, even if she's oblivious to his true intentions. As enemies gather, beast hunters tighten their grip, and an unseen enemy pulls the strings from the shadows, Althea and Cassian are forced to work together to survive. Hence the beginning of an undeniable passion that burns between them-one powerful enough to save them both, if they're willing to risk losing everything or themselves. With betrayals that cut deep, magic, beasts, hunters, and a slow-burn romance forged in a paranormal world, The Unruly Attraction is the first installment in The Doppelgänger Series, where first impressions deceive, the past refuses to stay buried, and every choice comes at a price.

Somewhere between shared silences, lingering touches and the dangers neither of them can fully escape, Xie Zheng and Fan Chang Yu begin building a quiet life around each other. And beneath all the lurking doom surrounding them, they remain the one place the other returns to.

Shen Anning had been unlucky for twenty years. Just when her life was about to change for the better, she died one day before her good fortune arrived. Before her death, her strong resentment bound her to a wish-fulfillment system. From then on, she began traveling through different worlds. The system carefully chose her as its host but soon regretted it. Why? Because Shen Anning never follows the original storyline. In every world, she is supposed to be cannon fodder a side character meant to suffer. But she refuses to accept that fate. As a palace maid in the Qing dynasty, she avoids dangerous schemes and quietly watches the drama. As an abused stepdaughter in the 1970s, she fights back instead of enduring it. As a poor farmer's wife in ancient times, she doesn't cling to a useless husband. In a dramatic CEO romance, she refuses to be a heartbroken ex-girlfriend. Whether she is in ancient times, a cultivation world, or a retro countryside setting, Shen Anning always chooses herself. She won't be used, sacrificed, or controlled. There is no fixed love interest. Only Shen Anning changing her destiny in every world she enters.

"In this life, the next life, and for all lifetimes thereafter, we are already entwined." An upcoming exhibition brought a collection of Dayin Empire's ancient artefacts into Shanghai-based museum curator Fan Chang Yu's life, but unlike how work has always been, there is an uncanny sense of familiarity surrounding a pair of twin short blades and a Chinese war spear. Even more unsettling would be the vivid dreams of what appears to be her life in another timeline centuries ago, and a certain man she sees in the fragments of memories...

Shen Meiling has seventeen performance strategies and she has used all of them successfully for six years. The merchant's beautiful daughter - charming, gracious, perfectly calibrated for every social occasion. No one sees through the performance. That has always been the point. Wen Shuonan sees through it in three seconds. Twice-widowed, quiet in the way of men who have been through grief and stopped wasting words, the magistrate official dismisses her carefully arranged smile before dinner is served. He is not unkind about it. He simply does not need it. He is more interested in the woman underneath. Meiling does not know what to do with this. She has been performing herself for so long she has begun to forget which parts are performance and which parts are real. Then there is Wen Xia. His daughter. Six years old, who has already lost two mothers and who cannot be charmed and who looks at Meiling on the first day with the direct assessment of a child who knows exactly what she is looking for and will know immediately if she doesn't get it. And somewhere in the background: Shen Daxiong, her impossible brother, about to cost everyone something.

The arrow had not killed him. That was the first cruelty.

I never thought my obsession with manga could become my reality... until I woke up in the body of Aphrodite Callista "Cally" Sinclair-the so-called villainess everyone loved to hate. In the original story, Cally's life was nothing but a stepping stone for Aphrodite Calle, the maid, and the Grand Duke's love story. She was betrayed by the man she trusted, abandoned by fate, and doomed to die tragically, leaving her family heartbroken and powerless. But I'm not her-I'm Athena Rose De Guzman, a soldier from the modern world. And I refuse to die in a fantasy story that isn't mine. Now, trapped in a world of ballrooms, dukedoms, and political schemes, I have one goal: survive. I may be a villainess by name, but I refuse to live by the script of someone else's story. I'll outwit the Grand Duke, avoid a tragic end, and reclaim my freedom... even if it means exposing the love affair between him and the maid, Aphrodite Calle, to the world. But surviving isn't simple. The court is a maze of secrets, rivalries, and power plays. Niobe Vantor, the rival noblewoman, has her own ambitions, and Hades Blackthorn-cold, cunning, and dangerous-is always one step away from destroying everything I hold dear. And then there's Zeus Knox, the crown prince-a tyrant on the battlefield and a storm of a man off it. He's arrogant, intimidating, and infuriating... and somehow, I find myself drawn to him. Not to mention Apollo Montclair, a dashing, powerful duke whose charm, wit, and cunning rival even Zeus himself. Love, loyalty, and deception collide in ways I never expected. This is my story now. The villainess will live. The rules will change. And maybe, just maybe, I'll rise from the shadows of tragedy to become the crown princess I was never meant to be.

Orphaned and abandoned by her betrothed, Fan Changyu's world was crumbling. With greedy relatives circling her inheritance like vultures, she had only one card left to play: zhaozhui. She recruited a broken, destitute stranger she once saved to be her husband in name only-a handsome face to help her secure her home and protect her young sister. The deal was simple: a sham marriage for a place to heal. But when the imperial army conscripts him, the man she intended to let go vanishes into the smoke of war. Years later, she finds him again in a blood-soaked medic's tent. Seeing the man she once sheltered in tatters, Fan Changyu makes a new vow: "Forget the war. Come home-I'll raise the pigs, and I'll take care of you."
