She was meant to ignite." -Kael Draven-

She was one of the best fighters in the pack, but following her best friend's death at 18 she left the pack to live with humans. For her 25th birthday, she finally returns, but only to introduce her werewolf family to a human fiance. What no one expects, though, is that at the party her family throws...she will encounter her destined mate. He is no other than DARIUS CARTER - the new alpha of the biggest wolf-pack in the region, holding a bad rep for killing the former alpha to assume his righteous position. But there is much more to him than just a pretty face and a fabulous six-pack... Can Lila fight destiny? Does she even want to? And why are those vampires starting to appear again with her return? ---EXCERPT: I hear people saying my name through the muffled sounds of my heartbeat banging in my ears. Then suddenly everyone in the room disappears and there are no voices. The only sound is that of his footsteps and the only scent is the most beautiful, sensual, masculine smell I have ever felt. Darius approaches me slowly at two feet away but doesn't stop. As everything seems slow-motioned, I try to step back to avoid a collision, but my feet won't listen. Instead, I take a step forward and we meet at only an inch apart. He looks at me so intensely, so passionately, that I feel devoured. Then he speaks. "Hello, mate." ____________ previous name: *ALPHA CARTER*

In a realm where dragons choose their mates through ritual and instinct, Annabella-a realist from a world of logic-never believed in magic, fate, or monsters. But after falling through a mysterious rift, she awakens in a wild, primal land filled with creatures who aren't quite human... and who seem to think she belongs to them. She's cold. She's starving. And then the gifts begin. Food. Shelter. Fire. And always, that scent-smoky, powerful, and maddeningly alluring. Survival comes first. Or so she tells herself. But with every brush of clawed fingertips and heated glance, the lines between survival and surrender begin to blur. These dragon shifters don't just want her-they've chosen her. And in their world, choice runs both ways. A slow-burn, emotionally rich, polyamorous romance about instincts, intimacy, and the bonds we never see coming.

They call the Varakei monsters. Wasteland-born. Vhaelor-blooded. Warlords forged by snow and blood beneath the poisoned skies of the Sundered Steppes. And Kharn Azrak Varosk is the most feared among them. When the sacred winter tribute of Aurelith is discovered poisoned and ruined, the mountain city offers up its own people for execution beneath the ancient accords. Juno - a bright-tongued storekeeper's daughter caught in the center of the betrayal - is meant to die alongside the others. Instead, the Kharn claims her. Because the moment Azrak scents her upon the winter wind, the Bloodfire awakens. Anorath. Fated soul. A bond older than kingdoms. More dangerous than war. Azrak should kill her. She is human. Weak. Soft. Everything the Varakei despise. Yet every savage instinct inside him demands something far more terrifying: protect her, keep her, worship her. Dragged across the deadly steppes within the heart of the Vhorde, Juno finds herself trapped among creatures she was raised to fear - brutal nomads who survive a world too cruel for ordinary men. And worst of all is Azrak himself: cold-eyed, merciless, and fighting the bond between them with increasing violence. Because among the Varakei, fated bonds do not create gentle love. They create obsession. And the more Azrak resists her, the more dangerous he becomes.

*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.

Six months have passed since Olivia Donahue Romano returned from the dead. Once the hidden American mafia princess, she lived in silence-trained, protected, forgotten.

Every move is watched, every word twisted, every truth she thought she knew turning into something sharp enough to cut her. Delicate relationships hold her world together, yet new enemies are already stirring beneath the calm, waiting for their chance to strike. Delicate relationships hold the fragile peace together, yet new enemies are already moving in silence. Declan's silence has become its own kind of terror. No attacks. No messages. No trace. But his shadow lingers-in the halls, in her dreams, in the way she still looks over her shoulder. Every whisper feels like a warning. Every secret another crack in a reality already broken once before. Olivia knows better than anyone that peace is a beautiful lie- Her reality was shattered once before. And this time... it might not survive being broken again.

Seventeen-year-old Aria Castellano thought she knew who she was - a scholarship student, a good daughter, a girl with simple dreams and a mother who made the world feel safe. But when her mother dies in a car accident, the life Aria knew unravels overnight. A letter. A name. A father she's never met. Now she's flying across the country to New York - to a mansion with guards at every gate, brothers who don't know what to make of her, and a father still struggling to accept the daughter he didn't know existed. Her stepmother is kind, her new home beautiful... but nothing about it feels right. At St. Augustine's Academy, power hums beneath every smile and secret. The students there were born into legacies - families bound by alliances older than the school itself, until betrayal tore them apart. Those old rivalries still live on in the halls she walks now, and Aria's arrival is stirring them all back to life. One boy in particular seems to hate her most. He's untouchable, cruel in that effortless way only someone raised in power can be. But behind the sharp words and colder eyes is something else - something that pulls her closer even when she knows she shouldn't look twice. As Aria begins to uncover the truth her mother died protecting, she learns that some secrets were buried for a reason... and that even in a world built on bloodlines and betrayal, the most dangerous thing of all might be the way he looks at her. "Some secrets don't stay buried forever. And Aria Castellano's name might be the one that brings them all back to the light"
